Apple on Wednesday unveiled its new Apple Watch Series 4 from the Steve Jobs Theater in its Apple Park headquarters. The new watch has a larger face, louder speakers and a faster S4 chip. 

It also packs an electrical heart sensor that can perform an EKG and detect atrial fibrillation (AFib), while the improved accelerometer and gyroscope can detect if you take a tumble and prompt a call to 911. The idea is that this is a watch that can keep you on time and on your feet.
