Apple Watch Series 5 Review

[@dhauxx]

Never had an Apple Watch, but seriously thinking about getting the series 5

[@Miner_Bob]

Do it I’ve got an S3 and it’s great, I can’t live without it. Your wallet will hate you but in the end it’s worth it

[@goldentracer5618]

I had the s3 and I sold it so I can get the s5 and it’s been one day without one and I hate it so much

[@craigcartwright9411]

akaspidey I bought this yesterday (first time smart watch buyer). I honestly love it, and I have no buyer’s remorse at all. I’m a guy who gets stressed about spending $30 for parking downtown. Take the leap. It’s so worth it!

[@mr.blanco6763]

picked the series 5 stainless steel gold option. love it. have the milinese loop in gold , and let me tell you. I’ve caught so many people starring at my wrist with the gold on gold look, it looks like straight jewelry

[@philliptatum2682]

Get one quickly!! LOL Just replaced my 4 year old Stainless Steel Series One with the new aluminum Series 5 and couldn’t be happier! A lot of enhancements! After having a watch for a short period of time you will depend on more than you can imagine. Take the plunge and enjoy! LOL

[@Groanola]

Honestly, if you are going to turn the Always On display off...just get a Series 4 somewhere lol

[@thundermustard]

Well he said people have asked, there is something for everyone.

[@daniellasteel8863]

Frostbite Gaming that's what I did!

[@evelinakarlssonnn]

I did that! Dont even wanna have a always on display and honestly the compass in not something I even use normally so I’m not missing out on anything ☺️😅

[@garvinbowen6036]

that's why apple stopped selling them...

[@xjr1618x]

Never had an Apple Watch. Maybe this time I’ll get it

[@kenallen4175]

xjr1618x do it!

[@TheCarltonator]

It really is a great purchase if you have an iPhone. I don’t currently have one either, but I am picking the 5 up this Friday with my 11 Pro Max and I cant wait!

[@TechMoments]

Make sure u get Applecare plus definitely worth it saved me lots of money when I cracked mine.

[@gregstus]

ive got a s4 and its honestly an awesome little thing! really makes a difference day to day for me.

[@dogedingo1535]

Pre ordered my first watch already!

[@niallbenn]

Would love to see a Series 3 2019 review with latest Watch OS. Love to know how faces look on old watch version vs new watch.

[@Wiseguy1138]

I can tell you that new watch faces don't look that great. I have a Series 3 & when they intro'd the Series 4 last year to show off those particle effects faces (flame, water, and smoke), on the Series 4 the animations took up the whole screen while on the Series 3 they were limited to a tiny circle in the middle of the watch. It's not a deal breaker but it is a bit frustrating given that the new faces don't take advantage of the full screen real estate that even the Series 3 has. That's one of the reasons why I'm excited to upgrade.

[@niallbenn]

Michael Wiseman good to know. Is this the same for some of new faces I noticed like the large numeric faces and the X colour face? They look bad on the old screen size too?

[@alexcope4144]

Series 5 is going to be my first ever smart watch, kinda excited 😊

[@rfh9560]

I would love a review of the Series 3 in 2019, mine still does everything I need, I just wanted the new displays though

[@rfh9560]

Jrel Cabingao I actually meant the design, the bigger display and thinner/rounder body

[@mcartier8812]

That’s nothing. I still use my series 0 and it works perfect

[@mitchellroffer2027]

RFH95 go to C/Net and search also watch the 5 review cause he does a quick comparison near the end.

[@scribblingink]

The Syndicate That’s awesome to hear, actually! I had a lot of trouble with my 0 about 6-9 months before the 4 came out. I felt sad about retiring it, but it was hardly usable in the end. It’s not super slow for you?

[@clintgolub1751]

RFH95 same! I have noticed my battery life dropping a bit when I’m just on cellular since I bought it back in 17’, especially in winter

[@sl0tter]

I already pre-ordered. It will be my first apple watch

[@aguzman222]

great - you are getting it at the right time when most of the growing pains have been resolved - there are still more health features to be added but on the technology side AW its miles ahead of the competition.

[@Liefpj]

I think I might as well too. After all my first iPhone was the 5 for $0 on a $45 contract(15gb!) and my first iPad was the $400 iPad 5th gen.

[@CaliTrapLord]

[@housepianist]

A 1-in-50 chance if you're watching this channel. But a 1-5000 chance if you see the offer on someone else's channel.

There are a few factors that need to taken into account to make such a calculation, please provide the following for it to be accurate: 1. Full Name, DOB & Address 1. Bank Details 3.

[@pedror2917]

Man this guy really has to stop talking as if he´s sorry for something, i love his videos but the tone in his voice and body language are seriously annoying

[@jordanr.4856]

I've never had an Apple Watch before, but once I saw that the series 3 had dropped to $199, I picked one up a few weeks ago for my birthday. While I cannot attest to the capabilities of the series 5, I must admit that this series 3 watch is actually a game changer for me. I love having the ability to see my notifications without looking at or getting out my iPhone, I love that I can glance at GPS directions or switch songs while driving, I love that I can stay connected to my family/friend group chats while out on a run, and I love all of the fitness applications/data that these watches have. I used to doubt the utility of these devices, and their high price points did nothing to dissuade me from those doubts. That said, I now firmly believe that these devices are a wonderful addition to anyone's everyday life, and I highly recommend the Apple Watch, the Series 3 especially. Quick side note though: The GPS only model does everything I listed above and more, once it's synced up to your iPhone. If you're syncing your watch to your phone, there is essentially no reason to purchase a cellular model.

[@BrunoDECOURCY]

My Watch Series 4 is still a beast... The only thing I’m waiting for is iOS 13, iPadOS and WatchOS 6... As usual, awesome video!!! Thank you Rene!!!

[@JJCA82]

Bruno DECOURCY if series 6 gets at least two days battery then I will upgrade my series 4

[@kianpenkrat3346]

Try the betas, I got watch os6 on my series 4 and it works really well

[@derinfokrieg]

The CPU is the same as the S5

[@MrAyybee2cold]

iOS 13 dropped today.

[@JohnPaulMusicUK]

Always on question, and it might be a silly one.. what about night mode and the always on display.. does it indeed turn the display completely off as I charge my watch where I sleep and actaully dont want it to be on except when the alarm goes off.. and what about do not disturb?

[@billhart9832]

Rene, 15:38 recounting the reality and overall intelligence of Apple's positioning, as only comes from you. Well played Rene, and Well played Apple, even Brilliant.... seamless segue!

[@atxabaltarra]

When I purchased the watch at launch (yes the very first one) I did not do it because it was technology I needed (I never wore a watch before), but because it was a beautiful accessory. Same logic when I upgraded to Series 4. I love the bigger screen and battery life. I really wish I could afford an Hermès one only because of the exclusive faces, but I know my limits. Although that soon won't be a problem with WatchOS 6 and the new faces which I am already loving. From Series 5 I really like the Ceramic one, but why did it have to be the most expensive one? I'll keep my Series 4 for now.

[@piotrch0]

Ceramics are an expensive business - look at other ceramic watches (Rado) or, say, ceramic car brakes. Top-notch stuff.

[@Techformative557]

I ordered a series 5 cause of the always on display and Iv never needed a smart watch until now

[@Keenan_G]

What is the astronomy app at 10:30?!??

[@douglasbrittain7018]

Keenan Green I believe it is Night Sky. It has a good free app for the iPhone and complication for the Apple Watch. On the Apple Watch you have to align the watch with the moon and it works pretty good, especially at no cost.

[@lhpleo]

Please bring your Apple Watch S3 revisits review, i am here waiting for it

[@febriewiraputra]

Hi rene.... how will the LTPO handle screen burn in vs OLED display... whats ur opinion on this

[@simylein653]

Febrie Wiraputra LTPO is a Type of OLED just a Bit more Energyefficient. So Yes if you abuse it, there will be Burn in.

[@febriewiraputra]

Simylein but if it’s always on i assumed it will be in a constant abused state right? This is that make me hesitate to upgrade... always on oled ....checout that iphone x display that always on , in the store for 1 year.....

[@BlissfulMartini]

Febrie Wiraputra The display phones used in stores aren’t always on one screen though. They can be locked and unlocked, and some have promotional videos playing when on standby. They also get taken down and locked away at closing. I get what you’re saying though.

[@nocontext9450]

How did u get the Apple Watch series 5 already I thought it was coming out on September 20th

[@mikekhayat9487]

A handful of reviewers got an early access from Apple.

Mistake at 3:00, its "LTPO" display, not "LPTO"

[@jiteshpujari1]

Mike Khayat thank god you noticed . Or else this review would have been pointless

[@D4NNYF00]

Jitesh Pujari lmao

[@TheMoonwalker90]

My only concern with always on mode is burn in, being that it’s an oled panel

[@zollerboy1429]

Southpaw It’s not an OLED panel but a LTPO panel, as you could’ve seen in the video.

[@ConceptNull]

@@zollerboy1429 "Low-Temperature Polycrystalline Oxid, or LTPO, is an OLED display backplane technology developed by Apple. LTPO combines both LTPS TFTs and Oxide TFTs (IGZO, Indium Gallium Zinc Oxide)."

[@TheMoonwalker90]

ConceptNull Right, so it is indeed a type of OLED panel?

[@mrflippy3578]

Yes, it's an OLED panel. Though burn-in won't occur for a very long time. Apple uses pixel-shifting technology in order to prevent pixels from dying. I've had my OLED iPhone XS Max and Apple Watch Series 5 since they came out and there's no sign of pixel burn-in. It'll last you!

[@TheMoonwalker90]

1:53 Can confirm, never had an Apple Watch before, since I just couldn't warm up to a watch that doesn't always display the time. Preordered immediately after the keynote.

A note about the always-on display: it only works while it’s on your wrist, not while sitting on a table.

[@jveve]

i dont have much budget. So I;m thinking to get secondhand s4 after lockdown. Should I get it?

[@joshtfilms]

I never had a watch before but I really want to get one. Should I go for the Series 4 or 5?

[@StrangreviewsTech]

J.T. Films I would recommend series 4 can still get them for $349 at Apple stores till Friday and $349 or under at most stores and same performance as series 5 minus compass and always on display

Can this charge on Qi or does it still need the Apple Watch charger?

[@JRCxyz]

Garrett Schyns interesting question

[@LeesReviews69]

I was watching the Apple event live, literally jumped out of my seat and screamed “yes!” I knew instantly this was a game changer, for so so so many reasons. As a nurse, the screen needs to stay on so I can count their heart rate or breathing or whatever. Working out I don’t want to let go of the weights to tap the screen, in social places or work I can’t even look at the time sometimes. This blew my mind. So I sold my series 3 and I’m waiting for this Friday!!!

[@LeesReviews69]

Real_Patriot I think it’s just the type of people that make it to and through nursing school are usually Apple fans. We can feel the quality don’t mind conforming if it’s a positive thing lol

[@studivan]

Lee - since you have the 3, you won’t be to disappointed, but the screen dims you still have to tilt your rist or tap the watch to see it at full brightness and everything else you mentioned you could already do anyway, I have the 4, it’s the same as the 5, same processor same screen, same everything.

[@LeesReviews69]

studivan I also want the speed performance, the other workout trackers, bigger screen, I think Siri is almost unusable on the 3, it’s too slow. But then having an always on display took it way over the top.

[@claudiabailey5302]

Love my Apple Watch 4 and as nice as the 5 is there just is not enough for me to update. Would a compass and always on display really do for a first timer as everything else is the same really?

[@chrisshoup4854]

[@drmedborn]

how does the AOD work with a photos watchface? Is the nightclock mode also always on?

[@mopnem]

I felt like he said a whole bunch without saying anything here.

[@myverycutecat]

Hey Rene. Great Review. Can you please tell me if the screen is scratch resistant? Is it tough?

[@pissedoffhoneybadger3733]

The series 5 I don’t think is any stronger than my series 4, but my watch is pretty tough. At work it gets absolutely covered in dust to the point you can even read the screen, later I go wash it off in the sink and it’s perfectly fine. I do have a dozen or so scratches from hitting it on things, but that’s because I’m not very easy with it. I’m surprised this thing is as durable as it is and that it still works with me.

[@WavyKane]

Can I still use Apple series 4 , 44mm dome screen protection on the series 5, 44mm?

[@bunnyhero]

thanks for showing the dimmed, always-on versions of so many faces. so many other videos just show a brief glance of one. this gives me a much better idea of what it'll be like. to be honest, the dimmed versions have way more detail and colour than i expected

[@j8rr3tt]

14:00 titanium should be lighter than stainless steel, but it's the same weight according to Apples website under the specs for each variant.

[@thevacdude]

The always on feature seems really helpful, since you don't have to tap the scrren, like on previous models to see the time.

[@glennwilliams9941]

Rene, Rene, Rene. I absolutely love it when I receive the bell gismo telling me you’ve uploaded a new clip but for someone that always sits back and never comments this time I feel I need to say something or better yet vent. I guess at the end of the day all of us have our opinions and likes and dislikes on what features would draw us deeper into apple’s garden of eden by yet again upgrading our current version of whatever. But this, really, series 5 watch. Let’s cut through the mustard here for just one moment. I see 4 features here on the throne: 1. Always on display. 2. A compass 3. More memory, and 4. A new S5 chip. But what would i know, coming from the land down under when we are still waiting for the ECG and fall detection features to be turned on in our upside down country when all I saw last September was the posters, billboards, tv adverts that were all pitching this as one of the primary major selling points and features. It’s been nothing short of a farce i have to say and I sit here flummoxed that now 12 months on and still zero movement at the station with Apple and our TGA regulatory bodies to get this thing across the line. So excuse me along like many other jaded Apple enthusiasts from the land down under that sit and ponder 🤔 what all the hype is about the Series 5 watch updates that have bestowed upon us during the current Apple season. I wonder if these features (mainly a toggle to always on display and the compass) just couldn’t be rolled out in an WatchOS update? Regardless, don’t let my rant take away from all that you do though Sir Ritchie, keep pumping out the content, waking to a morning espresso and watching your next instalment is a current joy of my life so thank you for your contribution.

[@JRCxyz]

Glenn Williams Always on shouldn’t be able to be rolled out in an update, at least not working to the same degree - preserving the battery life, without the hardware in the series 5. In particular the layer under the glass the changes the refresh rate down to 1 fps. He talks about it in the video.

I'll be a first timer, but still find the choice a bit confusing. I have bought an iPhone 8 which I find perfect, with a sim contract. Would like if money no object a Titanium. But do I need cellphone when I will always have the iPhone. So would it be best to buy an alloy one, as I suspect the stainless one will be noticeable weight wise, when on the wrist, at least to start with. Would there be an advantage in getting the Nike one. Seen it suggested on a YT video, but not sure what the advantages were.
