Apple Watch Series 5 review: it's a minor update and battery life hasn't improved, but an always-on, beautiful screen and new apps make it the best smartwatch

but not necessarily on the Series 5, especially given that the Series 3 is now $199. It doesn't make sense to pay a premium on a device that's still very much in progress https://www.buzzfeednews.com/ ... Nilay Patel / @reckless : So @backlon says the Apple Watch Series 5 has reached the critical “it's an Apple Watch” stage of doing exactly what you expect, which is also far more than what the competition can do https://www.theverge.com/... Tom Warren / @tomwarren : Apple Watch Series 5 review time. Battery life hasn't improved, but there's finally an always-on screen and some interesting new apps https://www.theverge.com/... https://twitter.com/... Dieter Bohn / @backlon : I reviewed the Apple Watch Series 5, which continues to dominate the smartwatch market. The screen is always-on & there is not very much to complain about (unless you want a battery that lasts multiple days).

    According to Xcode, Apple Watch Series 5 has the same generation CPU/GPU as the Apple Watch Series 4; I guess the only changes are a gyro and 32GB of NAND? The plus side of that is that we won't have to worry about watchOS being slower on the Series 4 than on a brand new model

    You shouldn't upgrade your Apple Watch just for the always-on display, but if you were thinking of buying a new one anyway you'll like this perpetual time-telling watch. My review of Apple Watch Series 5 https://www.wired.com/...

    One tidbit I don' t think I've seen anywhere else - watchOS 6 will allow you to delete some of Apple's own apps off the Apple Watch (finally). Good news for several reasons, esp. inclusivity. You can remove breathe, walkie, stopwatch,, cycles,, now playing, radio, and more
