The Apple Watch Series 4<\/a> (which we review here<\/a>) was announced on 12 Sept and will go on sale on 21 Sept. But how does it compare to the previous generation?<\/p>\n

In this article we compare the specs, design and features of the Apple Watch Series 3<\/a> and Series 4. For a comparison with the generation before that, see Apple Watch Series 4 vs Series 2<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Price & Availability<\/h2>\n

The Apple Watch Series 4 starts at \u00a3399\/$399 with GPS, or $499 with cellular. You’ll be able to pre-order from Apple’s website<\/a> from Friday 14 Sept, and it will go on sale on 21 Sept.<\/p>\n

The Series 3 – which has been available since autumn 2017 – gets a price cut to celebrate the launch of the Series 4. It now starts at \u00a3279\/$279 when bought from Apple<\/a>. Take a look at our roundup of the best Apple Watch deals<\/a> for the cheapest places to buy.<\/p>\n

Design & Build<\/h2>\n

The Series 4 has a larger screen – 30% larger, in fact, with the dimensions up from 38mm and 42mm to 40mm and 44mm.<\/p>\n

But it’s not bulkier to accommodate these displays. In fact, because of smaller bezels and a slimmer body, it’s lower in volume than the older device.<\/p>\n

The Series 4 also gets a redesigned Digital Crown (which now provides haptic click feedback for more accurate scrolling) a black ceramic back (which allows radio waves to penetrate, thereby improving cellular reception), and a repositioned microphone and upgraded speaker, meaning better call quality and 50% more sound volume.<\/p>\n

We’re very fond of the Series 3 design, natty red dial and all, but the Series 4 looks like a significant improvement in this area. Here’s what the 3 looks like:<\/p>\n

And here’s the Series 4, complete with its new dynamic flame face.<\/p>\n

The screen now goes almost to the edge of the body, you see: there’s very little bezel at all, and the screen curves at the corners to hug the chassis more closely.<\/p>\n

Colour options<\/h3>\n

One last design change worth mentioning: there’s a new gold stainless steel finish. The full set of Series 4 material\/colour combinations is as follows:<\/p>\n
