    Although annoyed it’s currently on sale for $100 less than I paid, I love my Series 5. Always-on display, Seconal Meyer, and expanded health options are all on display. The compass functionality is fantastic as well. Went to the store yesterday without my phone. Listened to a podcast via cellular streaming and paid with Apple Pay. The future is now people, bring out the hoverboards. One caveat is the battery life is noticeably diminished compared to Series 3 (never had 4). That’s the only complaint though.

    This is my first Apple Watch and it’s awesome. I see a lot of people complaining about battery life. Apple advertises 18 hours and it gets that. The compass is a great addition for me because I hunt and I’m in the middle of the woods a lot. The health stuff is well done and has dozens of third-party add on apps that are very extensive. I love having an alarm on my wrist that vibrates and wakes me up because I’m a really heavy sleeper. The only negative is the glass scratches easily.

    I’ve been using a Gen 2 watch for 3-1/2 years and it became indispensable. I recommend Apple watches to everyone that asks about them. The Gen 5 is a big leap forward as far as features go. I went with GPS and cellular this time, neither of which were available when I got my first Apple Watch. What can I say? Absolutely worth the extra money. The 44mm vs. the 40mm face is awesome. Streaming music from my watch and the ability to take phone calls away from my phone is a phenomenal convenience. Love it.

    I love my Apple Watch series 5 the stay on screen is a plus. The compass comes in handy. Only upgrade if you have a series 3 or older.

    Bought this Watch for my wife as a Christmas gift. She had the model 3 but just loves the 5. It has more features and it has the GPS/Cellular feature. I got a great price at Christmas.
