Apple Watch Series 5 (GPS, 40mm) - Space Grey Aluminium Case with Black Sport Band (Renewed)

Product Information

However, while there aren’t any strong fitness upgrades with the Watch 5 (well, none at all, actually) it’s still a great watch for those who are into exercising. As it’s basically the same case as any previous Apple Watch, all your previous bands – both Apple’s own and third-party bands – will work just fine, though you might run into some issues with magnets. Battery life

All that said, with the launch of the Apple Watch 6, the company has discontinued the Watch 5 - that said, you can still get it from third-party retailers, theoretically for the prices above, though we'd expect to see it getting discounted soon. The Apple Watch 5 certainly hasn’t got the stamina of the Watch 4, which is clearly down to the always-on display. We estimate that this draws about 2% power per hour, which means you’ve lost close to 50% over a 24-hour period before you’ve even started using the Watch. Apple Watch Series 5 (GPS + Cellular) can use a cellular connection for Emergency SOS. To use Emergency SOS on an Apple Watch without cellular, your iPhone needs to be nearby. If your iPhone isn’t nearby, your Apple Watch needs to be connected to a known Wi-Fi network and you must set up Wi-Fi Calling. This even includes Apple’s own apps, like timers. We’d have liked to see Apple improve all the relevant apps on the Watch to work with the ambient mode – and enable developers to integrate this functionality into their apps too.

A subscription is required for Oceanic+. Available on the App Store. Always follow diving protocols, and dive with a companion and have a secondary device. To really make use of this feature, though, you need to activate the LTE data capabilities inside the phone (if you buy the more expensive Watch 5 variant), and this will cost more per month. Charge times are from 0–80% and 0–100% using the included Apple Watch Magnetic Fast Charging USB‑C Cable. Testing conducted by Apple in August 2023 using pre‑production Apple Watch Ultra 2 (GPS + Cellular) paired with iPhone; all devices tested with pre‑release software, Apple Watch Magnetic Fast Charging USB‑C Cable (Model A2515) and Apple 20W USB‑C Power Adapter (Model A2305).

The biggest selling point for Apple Watch users is the always-on screen, which could make a huge difference for wearers. The fact that it offers that new feature without compromising battery life makes it all the more enticing for those considering an upgrade. Meets California Energy Commission’s Energy Efficiency Standards for Small Battery Charger Systems as outlined in the California Code of Regulations. That last point is particularly infuriating in the case of apps like Strava, which many people use to get more functionality out of their Watch, and it means the always-on display isn’t as fully implemented as some might have hoped. Ion-X glass display on aluminium cases; sapphire crystal display on stainless steel and ceramic cases The Apple Watch Series 5 might not be crammed with upgrades to its excellent predecessor, but the biggest new feature is something I have requested ever since the very first time I strapped an Apple Watch onto my wrist: an always-on display.

While the upgrades this year seem fairly modest, the addition of a screen that displays the time whether you’re looking at the watch or not should make lots of people very happy. Apple neglected to make a single mention of the hardware specs on the Apple Watch Series 5 during its keynote on September 10, and with good reason: There isn’t a whole lot of improvement over the Series 4. The Apple Watch Series 5’s other new features–the compass and emergency calling–are also great, but situationally so. If you’re going to upgrade your Apple Watch, the selling point is probably going to be its screen.
