The redesigned Apple Watch Series 4 features a stunning display with thinner borders and curved corners

Key features:
• Greater visibility with a 30% larger display, a thinner and smaller case and curved edges that allow for a more seamless interaction with the updated interface. App icons and fonts are bigger.
• Comes with some serious health monitoring functions. Users can take an ECG reading right from the wrist using the new ECG app, which takes advantage of the electrodes built into the Digital Crown and new electrical heart rate sensor in the back crystal. Also, with watchOS 5, Apple Watch intermittently analyzes heart rhythms in the background and sends a notification if an irregular heart rhythm such as AFib is detected. It can also alert the user if the heart rate exceeds or falls below a specified threshold.
• Detects falls using Apple Watch’s accelerometer and gyroscope to identify when a hard fall occurs, allowing the watch to send a notification to the user which can be dismissed or used to initiate a call to emergency services. After the notification, if Apple Watch senses immobility for 60 seconds, it will automatically call emergency services and send a message along with location to emergency contacts.

Availability: Customers in Singapore will be able to order all models of the Apple Watch Series 4 (GPS + Cellular) beginning Friday, September 14, with availability beginning Friday, September 21.

A new collection of bands debut for fall and all bands continue to work with any generation of Apple Watch.

Pricing: Apple Watch Series 4 (GPS) starts at S$599 and Apple Watch Series 4 (GPS + Cellular) starts at S$749 both featuring the updated design and new health capabilities. Series 3 will be available at the new starting price of S$419, making it even more accessible to customers.
