Not much of an upgrade from Series 4, No sleep tracking, No international roaming
With so many big advances in 2018, the Apple Watch Series 5 looks to hone and refine the experience that we saw with the Apple Watch Series 4 - which is no longer on sale. The changes, while welcomed, are fairly small this time around suggesting that Appl...

Too similar to Apple Watch 4, Battery life poorer, Always-on display too bright at night
The Apple Watch 5 is a premium smartwatch, but one that doesn't offer a huge upgrade over the Watch 4, apart from the very welcome always-on display. It hasn't risen in price, and there's more storage on offer – but many will find the cheaper Apple Watch...

It's clear to see that the Apple Watch Series 5 and Apple Watch Series 4 are very similar smartwatches in terms of design and build, with only key features – like the always-on display, new processor and increased storage – differing between the two. Of c...

If it wasn't for an always-on display, the Apple Watch 5 would be one of the most minuscule updates for an Apple product yet. However, not needing to wake the display is a real boost for the Watch 5, and worth a whole new launch...

It's slow to start up
If you're not on a limited budget and you've got an iPhone, the Apple Watch Series 5 is the ideal smart watch. Stylish and with excellent fitness tracking features, this tiny smartphone on your wrist lets you do almost everything you'd expect to do from y...
Can be worn as sportswear, casualwear, and formalwear, Has all the features of a regular series 5 watch, Includes higher quality bands
Expensive due to cosmetic customization,
The Hermès edition can mostly match a brand new apple watch such as the series 6 watch in terms of specifications. However, the only two reasons this watch is as expensive as it is is due to its appearance and leather bands. Potential first time users sho...

Not the best battery life at about 18 hours,
While it does provide you with a bunch of health features, a fall and elevation detection sensor for stationary workouts and even an included GPS and compass for navigation, the Apple Watch 5 remains too similar in performance but higher in price compared...
