This is my first Apple Watch and so far I really like it. I love the "60s spy" aspect of being able to talk to my wrist to send text messages, and now I don't have to get my phone out of my bag to check the time or see messages. It works like I'd expect.

As a Apple Watch user I have noticed the series 5 have made improvements prior to the previous watch's I like the fact that it has an always on display so I don't to keep raising my wrist to wake it I still like the fact it has fall detection and an electrical heart sensor also an more advanced...

The Apple Watch Series 5 is another step of Apple's relentless pace at the head of the smartwatch pack. The new model takes everything that made the Apple Watch Series 4 so good, sprinkles on a few extra features, and then replaces the previous model with this superior one.

Excellent design (and new titanium finish; Fantastic health features; including ECG; Good; comprehensive fitness options; 32GB of on-board storage; Always-on screen is lovely

…but does reduce battery life compared to Series 4; Doesn't work with Android at all; still

Don't purchase the warranty plan. It does NOT cover accidental damage. Purchase apple care through Apple. I bought my sons watch last December and purchased the protection plan only to find out it only covers mechanical. Apple wants $250 to replace the watch which is $25 less then I paid.

If you use an iPhone, the Apple Watch remains the best smartwatch by some margin. It’s not cheap, and there are more advanced fitness-focused wearables on the market, but it works beautifully within Apple’s ecosystem and (save for downloading music) does everything you want it to with minimal fuss. The question is, does the Watch S5 do enough to justify an upgrade? If you bought an S4 and have no major issues with wrist-flicking, then probably not. The S5’s always-on display is a welcome addition, but it’s hardly essential, and unless you’re lost in the woods, neither is a compass. Most of the Watch’s best new features come from watchOS 6, and they work on the older model too. If you own an S3 or older, the temptation of a bigger screen that never sleeps may prove too much to resist. And with everyone else playing catchup, there isn’t a safer investment in tech right now.

Always-on, baby; Battery life is still good enough; Noise-monitoring, period-tracking and better Siri among the watchOS 6 improvements; It’s an Apple Watch - they’re really good;

S4 lasted longer between charges; New App Store not great ; Still no third-party watch faces;

When it comes to smartwatches, there's the Apple Watch and then there's everything else. Five generations of wearable have seen Cupertino's timepiece lose most of its rough edges; now, the Apple Watch Series 5 is taking one of the last big usability issues to task.

Always-on display doesn't impact battery life; watchOS 6 brings App Store and more to the wrist; Display looks great; Still the smartwatch to beat

Still no third-party watch faces; Standalone features still aren't quite divorced from iPhone; Battery life has stayed the same

There's a running joke in my recent iPad reviews: I just get to say "it's an iPad," and everybody knows what that means. It's a sign that the product isn't changing year over year, sure.

Finally; an always-on screen; Big; beautiful display; New apps round out its capabilities

Battery life hasn't improved; Still no third-party watchfaces; Doesn't work with Android phones

Even with small changes, the Apple Watch Series 5 remains the best smartwatch

Stylish design; Comprehensive fitness features; Health features are genuinely helpful; Useful always-on display; Cellular model can replace your phone for a short time

No major changes over the Series 4; No native sleep tracking

With so many big advances in 2018, the Apple Watch Series 5 looks to hone and refine the experience that we saw with the Apple Watch Series 4 - which is no longer on sale. The changes, while welcomed, are fairly small this time around suggesting that Apple is putting the brakes on to avoid adding...

Always-on display; Compass; Heart-rate monitoring; Bands still fit from previous versions; Two sizes

Not much of an upgrade from Series 4; No sleep tracking; No international roaming

The Apple Watch 5 (or Series 5) is the best smartwatch on the market – if you're an iPhone user that is. While the upgrades this year are minimal on paper, the addition of a screen that displays the time whether you're looking at the watch or not should make lots of people very happy.

Always-on display makes it feels a lot more like a 'proper watch; All the previous straps still work; Great at making you want to move and be active

No huge improvements to battery life; No support for Android users
