I was sceptical about buying an Apple Watch as it seems overpriced and I didn't want calls 24/7 etc. I bought it because i) I needed a watch ii) I don't exercise and need too The watch is absolutely fab, synced with my phone Seamlessly, reminds me to stand up every hour, tells me how much exercise...

When Apple introduced the Apple Watch way back in 2015, it set the tone of what a smartwatch should be - a great timepiece which had all the features necessary to be the next step in technological advancements.

The Apple Watch Series 5 brings an always-on display and other minor enhancements, but it's still missing the one thing it really needs: better battery life.

Love love love my apple watch. So good and handy. Stylish and sporty in one. Worth waiting for. Highly recommended watch

There’s no question that the Apple Watch Series 5 is the absolute best smartwatch money can buy. It has an incredible screen, excellent app support, and the strongest set of sensors and features you’ll find anywhere.

Always-on display is transcendent; Design is as classic and timeless as ever; App Store and app support is stellar

Battery life is just OK; No native sleep tracking; It's still very expensive

The Apple Watch 5 is a premium smartwatch, but one that doesn't offer a huge upgrade over the Watch 4, apart from the very welcome always-on display. It hasn't risen in price, and there's more storage on offer – but many will find the cheaper Apple Watch 3 a more attractive device.

Always-on display; More storage; WatchOS 6 brings decent upgrades;

Too similar to Apple Watch 4; Battery life poorer; Always-on display too bright at night

The Series 5 is by far the best iOS users can get

Fantastic display; tons of fitness tracking features; smart functions

Pricey; so-so battery life; Pricey; so-so battery life

Works seamlessly with my iPhone X. As a heart attack survivor, I especially appreciate the included heart app that allows you to take a simple ECG reading. You can also transfer the readout to a PDF document on your phone and email it to your doctor if you wish to do so.

Originally had the Series 1 and thought it was time for an upgrade, so glad i did! Screen resolution is fantastic and sits great on the wrist!

Apple worked out most of the Apple Watch's kinks with the Series 3, and since then the company has been adding improvements that make the Watch a more convenient and phone-freeing accessory.

Solid build quality and design; Always-on display mode doesn't impact 18-hour battery life; Always-on display mode can be disabled; Accurate internal sensors (heart rate; GPS; etc); On-Watch app store is easy to use and useful; Cycle tracking is thorough and discrete with watchOS app

Activity Trends isn't as detailed as it should be; Still no native sleep tracking; Not many Watch-only apps yet; Only works with iOS devices; Expensive; No third-party watch faces
