Apple Watch Series 5

Who is getting one? The key highlight is the always on display to make it finally look like a real watch.

Not much improvement lei. The always on display will drain battery very fast?

Batt life touted at 18hr. Almost as good as my mechanical watch

Not sure if want to buy as only always on display, compass and new S5/W3 chip are the main differences to the Series 4, so only subtle upgrades.

You can do that since cellular models were introduced in the Series 3.

Indeed. If old one on discount, maybe apple watch 4 is a good buy

no update for me, will wait for apple watch series 6, if the battery can last for 48 hours

Coming from an Apple Watch series 3 user. This is a good upgrade for me. Just preordered mine! Collecting on the 20th September at the orchard Apple store.

Little or no impact as they are using a special display to support this feature.

On their official store, they will be dropping Apple Watch 4, keeping only Watch 3. But I believe some retail stores may still carry them.

Wow. That’s fast. Which one did you order? I probably get end of the year.

Will you still be keeping your watch 3?

there is no difference at all with series 4 except always on display?

It also has a built in compass.

I am still on Series 2. Still thinking of a good reason to upgrade

If you got use the health feature, then is it a very strong reason for you to upgrade.

Mine is Apple Watch 1st gen and battery still good. Bought few years ago.

Time for me to go for Apple Watch 5.

Quantum leap update for me.

Everything inside the S5 is exactly the same
as S4. They just double the storage to 32GB and added always-on display and compass which truthfully, can be added through software update to S4. New cases for the S5 too.

S4 is already using LTPO screen so no difference with the S5. If you have the S4, you don’t have to upgrade.
