Apple Watch Series 4 Reviews are a Sad Reminder of How Lost Wear OS Is
Apple announced its Apple Watch Series 4 a week ago and the early reviews that dropped this week are about as glowing as is possible. I’m not shocked by that either, because it was pretty obvious as Apple revealed their new watch that it was the most impressive hardware from their fall event. The reason it’s sad is the fact that it shows how badly Google and its partners screwed up wearables on Android and just how far behind Apple they are.

Apple Watch Series 4's processing power will blow you away
The new S4 chip in the Apple Watch Series 4 is an absolute beast when it comes to processing power. Apple didn’t brag too much about the S4 during its September keynote other than saying the chip is two times faster than last year’s model. There aren’t any benchmark scores for it. However, a developer recently put the S4 through some serious tests — and the results are insanely impressive

ECG app and irregular heart rhythm notification available today on Apple Watch
Starting today, the ECG app on Apple Watch Series 4 marks the first direct-to-consumer product that enables customers to take an electrocardiogram right from their wrist, capturing heart rhythm in a moment when they experience symptoms like a rapid or skipped heart beat and helping to provide critical data to physicians. The irregular rhythm notification feature on Apple Watch can now also occasionally check heart rhythms in the background and send a notification if an irregular heart rhythm that appears to be atrial fibrillation (AFib) is identified.

Apple Watch user discovers A-fib heart issue with new ECG app, ‘this probably saved you,’ says doctor
Apple released watchOS 5.1.2 yesterday, and with it was the much-anticipated ECG app. While most were excited to try it out and saw a normal sinus rhythm, some weren’t so lucky. A new report from one user describes how his surprising ECG results may have saved his life. As users are getting their Apple Watches updated, one user on Reddit found an unexpected result after taking their ECG: it came back with A-fib (atrial fibrillation). Naturally, as Apple even states themselves, the Apple Watch can return false-positives at times. So he tried “again and again and again”, and it still returned A-fib.

Apple Watch may soon get expensive
Apple Watch may get expensive soon as the US government led by president Donald Trump slapped increased tariffs on new set of Chinese imports on Sunday. Apple Watch is affected by the new tariffs. Apple has not yet confirmed whether they will increase the price of Apple Watch, but it is highly likely that they will pass on the import tax hike to the consumer. Apple is not a company that will compromise on its margins. Most probably, Apple Watch price will increase by $20 to $50 depending on the model.
