@6:30 onwards is something that no other tech reviews do it, and something that matters more than anything! Well done Ali 👍
Ali you're a Doctor! Everyone knows Doctors are well off, that's one of the benefits of putting all that hard work in. No one will think less of for you saying you have money. Or they shouldn't at least.

Having friends applying to medicine for next year, I agree that doctors deserve every penny they earn. We all have massive respect for you Ali!

Another absolutely amazing video. The way that you address if a product (the apple watch) adds value to one's life is something that is very true and not talked about a lot. Your perspective is unique and incredible, thank you for the amazing content you create.
Well,said regarding worth spending money on these things always refreshing to hear somebody saying a truthful and articulate opinion
I bought an apple watch 4 a week ago and I totally agree that 460$ could be spent elsewhere and bring greater value to your life. But when you already have all the devices you need and want to enhance your experience within the Apple ecosystem, it definitely is a nice accessory that I don't regret buying. I can do a bunch of things quicker, such as; controlling hue lights, music, track my steps, unlock my Mac, see whether I want to pull out my phone and answer a certain individual. The apple watch won't change your life, but it's still gonna add some convenience to your everyday life throughout the day.
I can't take my eyes off from you specially your new haircut😍
I was literally looking for a video of yours about the watch yesterday. Thanks for this!
I've got a couple of other great use cases for the Apple watch: - Silent alarm which vibrates on your wrist to wake you (and only you) up. Also much more pleasant to wake up to than a blaring noise - Voice activated light control using Phillip's Hue lights - Tracking your sleep habits and sleep hygiene with the Apple watch heart rate monitor (AutoSleep app)
Being a father of two who's always on the go when not with the kids I really appreciate how the Apple Watch supports this lifestyle. I don't have to leave the kids, find and check my phone for every notification. Secondly, I get my Things reminders there which, BTW, I can easily add with Siri on my wrist. I have also been cutting my screen time thanks to Apple Watch which always is nice. And more productive, since I don't see FB notifications all that often. :)
Just stumbled across your channel, great stuff!
Hey Ali. I’m interested in your video editing process- specifically the on screen handwriting. How do you do it?
Thank you for your honesty! Loved your video as always. 😊
I’ve gotta say, I really enjoy watching your videos and you provide some really useful insight that other tech youtubers don’t offer. Keep up the hard work!!
I was just binge watching your videos instead of studying for my math exam I have tomorrow😂love your videos. I'm so gonna be prepared with your techniques for my final year in the coming up academic year . Thank you so much!
Loving the new animations ! Good work Ali :)
Hey Ali big fan, I’m a aspiring med student in the US, your study videos have been hugely helpful to me preparing for the US MCAT. Really enjoying the new tech videos as well
As always, great video. I also love my apple watch series 4!
Never considered getting an Apple watch, but it is Ali Abdaal so imma watch the video.
Love your videos Dr.Ali! 💕
The quality of the videos are getting better and better! Good work Ali
You always do great reviews!
Love the real life talk at the end.
Aliiii your videos are always so informative and aesthetically pleasing ♡
Oh my god, I recently asked for a review of the apple watch and now!? Nice, thanks a lot!
I got the Apple Watch Series 3 for Christmas. I’m loving it so far.
Hi! Can you go in depth on how to improve attention? I haven't found a lot of articles or videos that offer methods, games, habits, or practices to help improve concentration. Thank you!

yes please
Those transition animations are great!
never keep tracking the KZread channel update but Ali Abdaal!
Nice video as always Ali. You made quite a few good points, especially about the value the watch will add to your life. I did find it a bit strange though that you didn't even mention the workout tracking capabilities of the AW? Especially when you are a doctor. Of course, maybe you don't use any of those features, but I'd still find it strange not mentioning it. I would love to hear your (a doctor's) thoughts about the the possible workout motivation from the AW (activity rings), the new ECG heart rate sensor, fall detection etc. Keep up the good work! :))
How are you able to wear it at work if you have to be bare below the elbow?
Great video (as usual) Ali! A few questions came to mind considering your recent Apple purchases: Do you track your personal finance, such as networth, budget, spending? Would you consider making a video on keeping tabs on your personal finance as a med student/junior doctor? Keep it up 👍🏼
How clear you are with everything you review! You stick to your ethics dude.. classy!
I like your videos as soon as I see your notification😆
Thankyou for the video Ali. Lovely as always!
Nice review. I use it as an activity tracker, and is in the range of activity tracker prices from garmin and likes of it. And looks much nicer if you ask me
The term you’re referring to about letting people know what we spend on is Conspicuous Consumption :)
Give likes for those who wait for Ali Abdaal videos!!
I use my series 4 mainly for workouts & it’s replaced my cycling & running Garmin devices😉👍🏻
I love your apple reviews
Is Tech Tuesdays a thing now?! Great video 👍🏼
Love this channel
Great video Ali! Thanks for sharing your opinion!
Haha you set off the Alexa in my room. Great vid btw!
I liked that you finally changed the blank blue screen between one topic and the other & turned it into something that’s just more alive and enjoyable to see ✨ Great video as usual , but nevertheless, I’m still waiting for your Sudan’s video =)
I don't own any of the products you've reviewed 😌 but still love watching all the content you've put up Love the weekly mails👍
I recently got the Series 4 watch through my health insurance, so I’ve been mainly using it for the activity tracker, but I love the music controls and notifications on my wrist too! (Allows me to have my phone on the other side of the room to prevent distractions whilst studying!) And at Christmas when my fob watch died, the kids seemed to love Minnie Mouse while I was timing my minutes for observations! I don’t suppose you have any other tips about how it works do you? I’ve kinda been using it blindly for the past couple of months! Thank you!
Thanks for the great review. I have also had an apple series 4, for 2 months now. It has also improved my life with small minor conveniences, but I do love it. Guess I am also “Signaling” to the world that I am a techy. (Shoutout: I am a third year med student from South Africa).
Came from your essay video and wow you really did the video outline in your other videos (or all of them?) Good thought!
I sold mine 4 weeks after having bought it, it’s remain a expensive nice gadget, good at the gym, control the music and nice to receive notifications, the rest is bullshit...why I know it is not useful ? I do not miss it at all
Watched this video to hear him talk about the the health features of the Apple Watch .-. instead i heard so much better than that
Apple Watch saved me 2 mins every day on finding my iPhone 😂 Ali didn’t even mention that feature! Good on him!
I rly like the Apple Watch for what it is but I recently picked up a Casio Digital Watch for like 12 Bucks and you just can’t beat the value of this device. It has a backlight, an alarm clock, a timer, is waterproof and it has that kinda Blade Runner style look to it so I rly love it. Those were 12 bucks well spent
The thing I don’t like about the Apple Watch is the rectangular face, but I guess it gives you the most real estate.
New to Ali and quite taken in by the summary conclusion upfront, time stamps and speech fluidity. No idiosyncratic pauses, no word/phrase repetition. No, 'you know, ahh, and things like that.' Format reminds me of medical abstract with hypothesis, methodology and conclusion upfront.
I do love your videos 💕
MKBHD & Unbox Therapy have nothing on your reviews. Your reviews intersect with the realities of our lives in a way that is truly helpful. Thank you.
Could you make a video about macbooks ? Is it better to buy the new one and live the dongle life or buy the old one with ports ?
Another great apple review with proper perspective
Love the video Ali! Mind telling us how you edited that screen recording in at 5:34?
Love ur videos
Hey Ali, nice video I'm a Software Engineer and I'm looking forward to seeing a video about Macbook if it's worth it. Definitely the most advanced OS but... that keyboard man totally holds me back for getting one especially for professional work
Was wondering what strap Ali's using in this video, does anyone know?
Why did you decide to choose that American express instead of the gold card? The points earning is greater on the gold card and the it has a lower annual fee.
Hi Ali, great video & amazing thoughts.
As a medical doctor, aren’t you worried about the radio/radiation emits by the watch’s wifi/Bluetooth/cellular signals? I read on the internet that they are harmful.
Can you tell me how to learn the pharmacology's classifications, I mean first thing that names are super weird and it takes me huge time to get familiar with them, secondly I forget them like with in 3 or 4 days. Suggestions?
Hi Ali, the health insights of Apple Watch are great. And when the ECG feature is eventually activated, it will make it even better.
can you review whether this would be beneficial for tracking health and fitness levels, and if it’s worth the extra £100 compared to a series 3?
Can the series 4 be used to capture notes directly in Apple notes using Siri with the new Watch OS 8?
Which editing software do you use?
Thx man!!!!! Didnt you get the watch like 2 months ago?
Your videos are crystal clear, what camera do you use, or can you do a video of your camera and microphone set up?
Hi Ali. Been a fan since you've had 16K subscribers and it's really lovely seeing your channel grow at such a fast rate. Don't get me wrong, I love your tech videos and everything but I kind of miss your monthly favorites series. Read Mistborn because of your recommendation and absolutely loved it. Hope you can continue it it the future. Best of luck, Doc :)
Great content 👏
I found that I learn better when I explain things to my self, but it’s that normal because my mom thinks I’m crazy because she found me talking to my self😂😂
Hi, I'm a med student thinking of getting some wearable tech. The main thing holding me back is the fact that I have to be bare below the elbow while on the wards. How do you find having to constantly take it off when you're in the hospital?
Ali listening to Christina grimmer has me all the feels 😭

Hey Ali hope u re fine. Quick questions to you. Which kind of editing video program or tool to you use and how do u set up your color correction? It looks very cool! greetings from germany
I bought the xiaomi mi band 3, it has some useful feature like steps and calories burned which is great for tracking workouts and sleep data. Ive turned all notifications off all but calls because I keep getting distracted on my phone. One feature it lacks is change of music. But yeah it's only 30 quid not as nice as the apple watch. Good review and justification at the end.
Hey Ali, will we be getting the 50 essay plans video soon?? Pretty please, I'm doing psychology.
Haha, you activated my home Alexa, lol. Suddenly gave me instructions on how to activate Spotify. 😆
Great video. Just out of curiosity, if you don’t carry your wallet anymore, where do you hold your ID card?
Love my watch as well. Only have the band it came with or do you have one for fancier occasions?
Alexa just played a song ~ Thanks Ali! hahaha
Any initial thoughts on Series 5?
Can you please do a review on Dashlane vs Lastpass vs 1Password?
I really don’t get those password apps, I can do all those things with apple safari, it is already saving all my passwords and credit card info. Why pay for features you already have for free? 🤷🏻♂️
I could use the apple watch with the ipad insteed of an iphone?
its okay Ali, I also feel like a "twat" holding up a line when the Apple Pay on my series 4 does not work also.
Love from India😍!
I love the objective and subjective approaches. And yeah of course this expensive accessory signals financial excess... (although it really shouldn't cause most people including myself pay a low monthly rate haha). Excess is good and we should all strive for it, so even as a broke college student I dont really see the negative side to valuing wealth.
You said please so therefore you get a like 👍 and honesty. Cool video!
To bad Apple maps isn’t done very well, or I would use it more often. But great review as always.
Lol alexa in the background is desperate to assist you
Hi ali what size watch are you wearing?
unfortunately spotify doesnt allowed offline music after that it will be more usefull with airpods. Actually it is good for other people's how look to you many people recognize immideatly my watch and asking information. Do you use another apps? I hoped you will share your apps to but I think you dont use often as many people
*proceeds to watch even though I don't have anything Apple, because it's Ali* Also, completed unrelated, but I would love to see how you revised for your psychology exam back in uni! It'll be very helpful for us A2 psychologists XD Thank u!
I would be interested on your thoughts in a video on the Amex/cashback/rewards cards! Do you think it’s worth it? I’m considering a platinum cashback card for a few big purchases coming up with the cashback offers...

Have you tried swimming with the watch? I like to swim three days a week and I’m scared to buy one then have it break after going swimming

It may be designed as “water proof”, but I’ve read some reviews and how some people’s Apple watches and FitBits breaking after being submerged in water for a period of time. So it’s not a 100% water proof
