Apple Watch Series 5 Review. Best Smartwatch Money Can Buy Still in Mid 2020

Alright, here it is, the new iWatch Series 5.

Despite the fact it’s one of the best if not the best smartwatch on the market right now money can buy with a starting price of $399, its pretty good in all aspects anyone can think of, of their watch.

So in this review, we gonna be digging deep to find out why this smartwatch by Apple is not even On the radar of the other smartwatches in the market right now, Yeah its actually Dope.

So let's find out!

So what's new in the Series 5 when compared to the last years Series 4?

Well, not that much but 3 big changes though.

Design

So when it comes to design and build, it comes with Aluminum, Steel, the all-new Titanium and Ceramic and all of them are physically identical with their brothers last year and also they now have even bigger screens than them which are fantastic!

Screen

The Screen is the first new thing that is new in this Series. Wondering why is that? Its Always-ON Baby! Finally! Both the Series 4 and 5 have a special OLED screen that Apple developed which is the Low-Temperature Polysilicon Oxide or LTPO in short by the means of Apple’s branding.

And Series 5 comes with a bunch of new chips inside that let it have a variable screen refresh rate which lets it change its pixels on the screen as often as 60 times per second or as little as once per second. And the major advantage of that is it lets this Series radically use less power than other screens on the market. And I think that’s smart because you know when you are just sitting down or technically when you are not using the watch and when its in the ambient mode and that saves battery life.

So now instead of the screen being off now, it shows a dimmed version of your watch face, and when you raise your wrist to see the time, the monster awakes, and then you’ll be able to see the full-colored watch face just like any other Apple watch.

And all that means is that you don’t have to be the nerd who raises his hand in the middle of a conversation with somebody just to see the time to wake the screen up.

Battery

And the big fat question is the Always-ON screen hurts the battery life?

Well, it doesn’t seem to hurt that much!

Apple claims you can still get the same 18 hours of battery life that every iWatch is supposed to get but no more than that.

And props to Apple, last Year’s Series outperformed the 18 hours of battery life claim!

And Yeah of course you are right there are smartwatches on the market currently that lasts for more than weeks or even months but the thing is none of them can do what the Apple watches can do.

Compass

And the next new thing is the built-in compass.

Well, it works well and even gives you a thing called the confidence cone that gets narrower as it becomes closer to North exactly. But speaking of magnets yah you guessed it, it can mess up sometimes when you find yourself in a place with magnets, and that show they work right?

Carrier

And the next new thing is that there are more cellular bands on its cellular versions which means it can do a lot of emergency calls internationally.

And a quick note, it doesn’t work on the regular cell phone Apple watch though. And the reason for that is Apple needs to do more carrier deals for that to work.

Processor

Well seems like the major updates are just really minor on Series 5. But, you know what? iWatch Series 5 is still a lot far ahead in the competition!

And the reason for that is mainly the processor.

Apple is good at making awesome processors for smartwatches than anybody else.

And then it’s the integration stuff. Meaning, Apple lets the iWatch do Apple stuff with iPhones than any other manufacturer lets their smartwatches, like replying to iMessages.Only the iWatch can do that.

And also in terms of the Operating System, watchOS is really good. So the new version which is watchOS 6 is gonna land on most of the Apple watches except the first few.

And inside are some new watch faces as usual. But, it’d be great to see if Apple let some third-party options into the watch, just to have some fun.

In case you did not know the biggest feature on the new watchOS 6 is the App Store which lets you download apps directly from the App Store without the need to pull out your Phone expect for the first time that you access the App Store from the Apple watch which asks for you to enter your Password on your Phone.

Siri

Well then, Siri.

Siri can identify songs and also bring up search results from the web and lets, you click into a webpage where you can load tiny little webpages on the iWatch which is pretty handy too.

Ambient Noise Detector

Also, there is an ambient noise detector option that warns you if it's too loud for too long in the place you are in just to make sure it protects your ears and keep them safe, again props to Apple for doing that because of the noise pollution that happens these days.

So, why exactly is the Apple watch so far ahead of the competition? It's not just because of the fact it has an LTPO display a noise detector or a compass or any feature that I mentioned above. It's just exactly because of the fact that Apple always tends to make their software better and roll out more useful features than any other smartwatch while making their devices more powerful and connected to humans with their daily life.

iWatch is truly an overachiever!

So, is the iWatch Series 5 for you?

Well, the answer is pretty straight forward. If you can spend $399+ on a smartwatch that helps you with your daily life and just overall make things easier and tries to protect and warn you in terms of health and In an emergency, why not go for the best boy in the market?

But, what if you have an iWatch Series 4?

Well, then it would be more bank-friendly if you can wait for the iWatch Series 6 expected to release in this fall 2020, for more new and advanced features from Apple with watchOS 7.
