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 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.

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.

From the outside, and on paper, there's not a huge difference between last year's Apple Watch Series 4, and the recently released Series 5. The aluminum and stainless steel models look identical, but the Series 5 has bragging rights, thanks to new titanium and ceramic housings.

All-day battery life; Always-on display; Tight integration with the iPhone

WatchOS 6 is buggy; Still no sleep tracking

Love My Apple Watch the one bad thing is it doesn't seem like the battery life is as good as my previous series 4 was. but every thing else is great from new features to the ability to leave my phone at home and use the cell function is awesome.

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...

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

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 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
