Customers recognize the Apple Watch Series 5 for its durability, extended battery life, and always-on display. Many users find the watch easy to use and appreciate its stylish design and high-quality materials. While some consider the price to be a drawback, many believe it is worth the investment.
I had recently had the face pop out of the first series. Other than that it works and looks perfect(40MM stainless steel). I am in process of having it fixed for a friend. I thought this was a good time to get current and purchased the 5 series 44MM stainless steel and have been very impressed. The available apps are amazing to work with the health app already pre- installed by Apple. It not only monitors my body health from a workout program standpoint but also has an ECG monitor for the heart, in-depth sleep monitor as well as diet all kept in one app(it also monitors the decibel levels I have experienced every day). All of this data is stored and can be referenced at anytime. Custom faces are endless, storage capacity is crazy big. As far as the battery, I use the watch all day, keep it on while I sleep to monitor my sleeping habits and still have 40 % battery left In the morning. I put it on the charger while I’m getting ready in the morning and out the door at 100%. The Apple Watch has helped my productivity for over 4 years now and I was lost waiting for my new one to arrive. Knowing that this watch’s capabilities are endless I would pay twice the price today. Sounds crazy but it’s worth every penny. You do not know how valuable it is until you no longer have one.

I love the always on display, after reading many reviews, I thought it might be a problem for my daily usage. So far, taking it out of the charger at around 9am and arriving back home at around 7pm, my watch still has >60% battery life left. Otherwise, I feel like there is no difference from my Series 4. The display being on the whole day makes a huge difference for me, and that along was worth an upgrade!

Bought this watch for $465.00 with tax brand new from Best Buy’s during a sale and got a full year of Apple fitness free also, you can’t beat that anywhere, stainless steel with Saphire crystal for the price of the aluminum Apple Watch 6 and the only real difference is the blood oxygen sensor which is useless anyway, amazing.
