The telltale sign of a smartwatch is that its display will turn off when you're not looking at it. However, while this saves battery, it also makes the watch look and feel somewhat unnatural as far as timepieces go.

Upgraded from series two, and loving all the new features and improvements.

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

I have alwasy been sceptical about these "watches" but I love my Nike Apple Watch 5 . Easy to use, fantastic features / Apps it really is top notch. great value for money if you can afford it go for it.

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

Love my Apple Watch! It's beautiful and sleek and works just like it should. I wanted it for the heart rate monitor function to be able to stay in a target heart rate zone during workouts and it's amazing! Also love the meditative breathing exercises built in to the phone!
