Assignemnt: Product Summary and Analysis Draft 1


Today I will be analysing the Apple Watch Series 4. As stated in the article, apple watch series 4 is a useful device where almost everything can be done in an ease of manner. It is basically from a compilation of internet of things. This series 4 watch has two sizes, 40 and 44 mm respectively. It consists of gold stainless steel with a Milanese band, Silver and space black stainless steel. It is equipped with 64-bit dual core processor, with a 18 hour battery life.

It differs from other smartwatches, mainly in its health aspect. It contains heart rate censor, an ECG function, fall detection and a new breath application that helps to calm down the heart rate and control breathing.Moreover, the speakers are much louder, and the microphone redesign enables better call quality.

Analysing more deeply, we will first look at its upgrades from the previous series and focus on its pros in depth. Firstly it is very comfortable as it has a thinner optical heart rate sensor on the underside which is now made of ceramic and sapphire crystal for better readings. Thirdly, its speakers are noticeably louder and the relocated microphones results in noise cancellations thus improving call quality. Next, its performance is much faster, thanks to its 64-bit processing S4 chip which is a big upgrade form the 32-bit one.


 Most important feature of this series as mentioned earlier are its health features that make this watch distinctive. These include, firstly, a fall detection feature. Using the improved accelerometer and gyroscope, the watch detects variables such as wrist trajectory, acceleration, and force of a fall to determine if you’ve fallen hard and might need emergency assistance. After being unresponsive for a minute, it will automatically call the emergency services. Next, we have the heart rate sensor which now has new notifications for low heart rate and irregular rhythm. Lastly, we have the first over-the-counter ECG app where, by just placing your finger on the new Digital Crown for 30 seconds, the it can output your heart’s electrical signals and then compile that info into a graphed waveform PDF document which can then be shared with your doctor.

Some of the cons in the watch, which I feel are as follows. Apple added the ability to stream Apple Music directly to the Apple Watch but have not done so for other music streaming platforms which many are hoping for. The reason might be that apple wanted to promote its own apple music application.

Another major concern is that the watch lacks sleep tracking. Other wearable like Fit bit and Samsung’s Galaxy Watch have built-in sleep tracking. Sleeping is an important feature when it comes to health and many would love to track their cycle and know better about their sleep and how to improve it.With all the available space it now has, with the larger display and the speed of the processor inside, Apple could be doing a lot more. Not all apps are able to take advantage of this watch face with large screen, and those that do, aren’t that useful.

Its battery life still upsets many and apple has to step up its battery life like other fitness wearable are already offering. One suggestion is, maybe a low-power mode that can last a week

In conclusion to these analysis , I would strongly recommend this apple watch series 4 as it is a well upgraded version in terms of features and its astonishing built of its previous series. If you are someone who is really comfortable in using apple product and someone who is more health conscious, this is really designed for you. Moreover, if you are longing to own a smart watch, this will be best choice in the market.
