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.

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;

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

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.

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...

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

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
