Violator posted:Do I remember right that they said the S4 is supposed to be twice as fast as the S3? yep, also overheard an Apple Store dude telling someone that yesterday. I think it's pretty accurate. Scrolling between watch faces on S3 was the best way to quickly find the brick wall of performance, on S4 it's almost seamless.

Finally upgraded to an S4 from an S0 and holy poo poo, what a massive difference. I really want to try the EKG feature and hope it won’t be too long.

I briefly considered the 40mm until realizing it would render obsolete the $200 or so I’ve spent on watch bands. (Yeah, I have problem.)

So I unpaired my watch with my old phone and paired it with my new phone fine. When I’m not on WiFi the watch just can’t connect to the phone. Anyone else had this issue?

I kinda wanted to do the same until I found out that important note -- as far as band compatibility is concerned, 38mm (pre-Series 4) bands fit the new 40mm, and 42mm (pre-Series 4) bands fit the new 44mm. I mean technically all bands fit all models, but nobody wants gaps or protruding lugs.

Walkie talkie is a bit of a disappointment. I was hoping it'd be more like Voxer where it'd queue up the received messages and you could review them at leisure or if you missed what they said. It's literally a walkie talkie, with no 2018 benefits other than range not being an issue. Plus, unless I want messages to come in when I'm at work I have to manually check available on and off. Just doesn't seem very well thought. Doing a voxer so it was asynchronous but fast enough to feel like real time would have been the best IMO.

Man the speed of the S4 is tremendous coming from an S1. Not having to wait like 15 seconds for an app to boot up is fantastic.

I kept seeing reviewers saying the S4 is the iPhone 4S of the watches but I disagree. It’s the XS of watched with the 44 being the Max and the 40 being the regular. The edge to edge nature and very high speeds make this thing so effortless to use and it all just looks so loving good. I’m running my obligatory “run the watch from full charge until it dies” test I do with every new watch I get. Going off memory: My 42mm S0 My 42mm S2 SBSS got 2 days and 20 hours and was at like 4% battery life. My 42mm S3 SBSS LTE got 3 days and 8 hours and was at like 9% Let’s see what the 44mm S4 SBSS LTE gets.

Does the call automatically go through? I'm having flashbacks to the old Nextel push to talk poo poo. Is it like that?

But once you authorize it and have your talkie set to available, your watch will just start talking when a new message comes in.

I had this happen to me; I unpaired and re-paired and everything installed and worked (that wasn't an ancient app that isn't supported anymore). I assumed it was a issue with my phone trying to reinstall all my apps on my new iPhone while also trying to set up pairing and app installation with the watch.

Ordered the Space Black Milanese Loop from apple for when my series 4 watch arrives mid October. I'm switching from android and the apple watch seems more user friendly than my current moto 360 2. The only thing I will miss is the always on display for checking the time, but I have found it incredibly useful for notifications since I usually have my phone on mute not to disturb other people. Having to wait for basically a month to get my new watch kind of sucks though. Have previous apple watch releases been this popular?

I don't remember the others but about a month isn't too bad for an Apple launch, and going by the past it has a decent chance of shipping sooner.

For what it’s worth, I saw that you could reserve some models of the S4 for pickup at my local Apple Store yesterday. It might take a few days, but I suspect once the initial rush is over, you’ll be able to grab one at the store in a few days. ChadSexington fucked around with this message at 13:17 on Sep 23, 2018 |

Does anyone own one of these through AT&T? Apparently AT&T straight up never 44mm black stainless got any for sale in stores and online says "Out of Stock" and not even something hopeful like a month-late delivery time.

Is there a toggle somewhere for unlocking the watch when my phone unlocks? Or does the new watchOS remove that featre? It worked awesome on my 6S but I switched to an XS on Friday and did the OS upgrade and now I need to enter the PIN no matter what.
