The Apple Watch Series 5 is the fifth-generation model of the Apple Watch. It was released on September 20, 2019 during the 2019 Apple Special Event, and its improvements over its predecessors include an always-on display.[1] It has received mostly positive reviews from critics, with reviewers praising the always-on display, but criticizing that there are few improvements from the previous watch.

Overview

The Apple Watch Series 5 includes an always-on display with energy saving LTPO OLED screen and low-power screen driver capable of refresh rates as low as once per second. The always-on display was not included in the Apple Watch Series 4. [2] Additional new features include International Emergency Calling enabling emergency calls in over 150 countries, a more power-efficient S5 processor, improved ambient light sensor, doubling of storage to 32 GB, and the addition of a magnetometer, enabling a compass function. It also brought back the "Edition" tier, with a ceramic model absent from the previous generation, and a new titanium model which comes in two colors: natural and Space Black.[3]

Reception

Critics generally gave it a positive review. CNET gave it a score of 4/5, concluding, "The Apple Watch continues to be one of the best smartwatches, but it remains limited by being an iPhone accessory for now."[2] Digital Trends gave it a score of 4.5/5.[4] The Verge gave it a score of 9/10.[5]
