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

The Apple Watch is truly a product of iteration—every year, it gets better just enough to stay ahead of the competition. This year, the Apple Watch Series 5 doesn't come with any aesthetic changes or improvements to battery life, and its starting price of $399 remains unchanged. So what's different? In addition to a new processor, the Series 5 comes with a Compass app and an International Emergency Calling feature, and watchOS 6 brings new apps like Cycle Tracking for women and a Noise app that measures sound exposure. These are welcome additions, but the most transformative feature this go-round is an always-on display, so you you can see the time, workout stats, and other information at a glance. The rest of the experience remains the same, but these changes are enough to keep Apple at the head of the pack, and earn the Series 5 our Editors' Choice for smartwatches.

The Apple Watch Series 5 doesn't feature any drastic changes, but an always-on display makes the best smartwatch you can buy even better.

Always-on display; Excellent fitness tracking and heart rate monitoring accuracy; WatchOS 6 brings useful new apps; Smooth performance

Expensive; No built-in sleep tracking; Battery life remains the same

The only product I’ve given a perfect review score to is the Apple Watch. The 2018 Series 4 Apple Watch, to be exact, as it was not just Apple’s best product of the year, but also the best smartwatch you could buy. Apple has updated the Watch to the Series 5, bringing with it a handful of new features while still retaining the same design. Does this mean it’s no longer excellent? Don’t be silly. It’s still miles ahead of the competition. The Apple Watch Series 5 is visually unchanged compared to the Series 4. It comes in either a 44mm case size or a slightly smaller 40mm size for those who have slimmer wrists. The case is still a svelte 10.7mm, and the 44mm model — which I’m wearing in the pictures — weighs only 36 grams. It’s barely noticeable on your wrist, never gets caught under a shirt cuff, and the curvy case is wonderfully ergonomic. Sounds like it’s designed by someone who knows watches right? Yes, it was, and it really shows. The days of getting upset over the Apple Watch not ...

Stylish design; Comprehensive fitness features; Genuinely helpful health features; 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;

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

As Apple introduces its new Watch Series 5, the company is discontinuing the similar Series 4 and lowering the price of 2017's Series 3. The price difference between the Series 3 and Series 5 is quite large; with the devices starting at $319 and $649 respectively, or $469 and $799 if you want the...

Still the smartwatch to beat, although the fifth-gen model is taking things a little bit easy in terms of new innovations and features - really the S5 is an S4 with always-on display and built-in compass.

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;
