- I've owned the $4 for less than a week, but I'm $4 by it.
- Even though I'd previously owned the original $4, buying into the latest hardware, and all of the current software, was a significant upgrade.
- Exploring the Apple Watch Series 4 has led me to find features I really like, and wasn't necessarily expecting.
When Apple released the first-generation Apple Watch to the public in early 2015, it felt like incredible hardware being held back by software limitations.

The Apple Watch Series 4 is Apple's best watch yet. And in the course of using it over the past several days, I've stumbled upon features that surprised me initially, but I've come to really appreciate.
Take a look.
