After all the leaks it seems that we have been a bit cold with the presentation of the new Apple Watch this afternoon, but there is good news for many of us and that is the operators of our country Orange and Vodafone are already compatible with the LTE model and this is one of those great novelties that we have on the table, but there is more.
El new 2nd generation electrical frequency sensor and optical heart rate sensor greatly improve the measurement of health data. Now the watch is capable of monitoring your heart rate throughout the day, to check your pulse and your heart rate at any time it is not necessary to activate it or exercise. It also alerts you if your heart rate spikes or drops to an unusual level, even if you haven't noticed any abnormalities, it has an improved design with
Some of the functions that these new watches have are really interesting, such as fall detection. And is that thanks to its new accelerometer and gyroscope, the Apple Watch is capable of detecting if you have fallen to show an alert and you decide if you ignore it or ask for help. Y If you do not move for more than 60 seconds, the watch automatically calls the emergency room and send a message to your emergency contacts. Or the SOS call. If something happens to you, Emergency SOS allows you to contact emergency services, alert your emergency contacts, send your location and display your medical information on the screen. Plus, the Apple Watch Series 4 with mobile connectivity comes to the rescue even if you're not carrying your phone.
As you can see in the image above, the new watch model is also somewhat less thick, 0,7mm of the device has been lowered, which although it is true is not too much, it may be enough to notice a change in the general aesthetics of the Watch. Also the larger overall screen size and the 40 and 44mm watch case, they make it look much more attractive new and get a screen that has gained more than 30% of surface area compared to the previous generation.
The new Apple allows the user to take an electrocardiogram (available in the US) when pressing on the smart crown with haptic response, this will be a point to be very present in the renewed watch. Functions like Walkie-talkie, Calls and Messages will come with the new watchOS 5 and in addition to this we will have available Apple Music and Apple Podcasts (the latter in some countries) On the other hand, the new ways to use Siri or the mobile connection to do everything from the clock even if you do not have the iPhone at hand will give us a breath of air cool to those of us who were waiting for this LTE model.
The doubts of the straps are resolved in the fast way and Apple confirmed that they were compatible with the new models presented, so there is no problem. On the other hand, the new straps such as the Apple Watch Nike + Series 4, called Loop Nike Sport, caught my attention. It is made of a special reflective material so that when the light is focused on it it can be seen.

The new Apple Watch Series 4 will be available from September 21 with reservation from Friday, September 14, that is to say, Friday. Prices go from 429 euros corresponding to the model with integrated GPS but without mobile connectivity, up to 849 of the model with Cellular connectivity and stainless steel case or the Hermès models that raise more than € 1.549,00 that will be available thanks to the operators Orange and Vodafone. This was one of the demands of the users of our country for the Apple smart watch.
Having an electrocardiogram is a real revolution, spectacular. Neither big screen, nor thickness nor anything,… this is what makes the difference with respect to other manufacturers. There are no consumer devices of this type.
Hopefully it will be approved soon here in Europe as well and we will have it active at the same time as in the US. It seemed to me to understand that it will not be active yet when it goes on sale.
The EKG will only be available in the US at the end of the year. In the rest, we have to wait.
All the best
Certainly we missed adding that data on the electrocardiogram is already edited!

Was anything said about the amount of complications seen in the photos of the new models? Is it known if it is something that was enabled in previous models such as the 3 series or will it be typical of the new models?
I have updated my series 5 to watchOS 1, with the beta profile, and the new sphere that comes out first in this news does not come out ... is it because it is series 1, because they have not included it yet, or because it is exclusive to the series 4?
