Digital Crown: In Series 4, the newly designed Digital Crown provides haptic feedback when you use it to scroll up or down a list. You can feel it click from one item to the next. Connectivity: Apple reports that the new W3 wireless chip in Series 4 replaces the W2 wireless chip in Series 3 and together with the new design of the Series 4 antennae, there is improved quality in both incoming and outgoing phone calls. Sound: Series 4 has a new speaker which is much louder than Series 3. In addition, the microphone is now on the opposite side of the watch in order to reduce echoes on phone calls. Accessibility: The Apple Watch and watchOS 5.2, of course, continue to have all the Accessibility features of previous watch- es.
