Apple Watch Series 5 review: the best smartwatch

Published on Sep 18, 2019

Apple's new Watch Series 5 starts out so far ahead of the competition that Apple didn't need to do much. But it did one big thing: add an always-on display. In this review Dieter Bohn gets into all the new features of Apple's latest smartwatch.

Apple Watch Series 5 hands-on review

Sep 25, 2019

The only product I’ve ever given a perfect review score to is the Apple Watch. The 2018 Series 4 Apple Watch, to be exact, as it was not just Apple’s best product of the year, but also the best smartwatch you could buy. For 2019, Apple has subtly updated the Watch to the Series 5, bringing with it a handful of new features yet still retaining the same design. It’s barely worth being called the Series 5, as it’s more like a Series 4S.

Does this mean it’s no longer the best smartwatch you can buy? Don’t be silly. It’s still miles ahead of the competition. Does it still deserve a perfect score? Interestingly, no it doesn’t. Not because it’s worse or anything, but because it doesn’t significantly improve on the brilliance of the Series 4. Let me explain.

The Apple Watch: 5 years later

Apr 24, 2020

When Apple released its first wearable five years ago, many publications, including ours, were pretty skeptical. And with good reason, the first-gen watch was far from perfect, and Apple's sale's pitch was a little confusing (was this a phone replacement? a fitness device? a communicator?) Future releases have refined Apple's vision, and created what may be the most popular watch, smart or otherwise, in the world.
 

The Apple Watch saved my life...

Apr 27, 2020

Kacie was trapped in her car after a near fatal wreck, Toralv fell and hit his head in the middle of the night, Jason was dangerously close to having a heart attack and Heather would've never known she was sick if it wasn't for her Apple Watch. Hear them tell their stories.

With its fall detection feature, heart rate notifications, exercise tracking or just the ability to make a call from your wrist, the Apple Watch has made a mark in each one of these stories.

Apple Watch Series 6: The most exciting rumors

May 18, 2020

Reports are coming in left and right about Apple's next wearable. It looks like it'll get some superpowers when it comes to monitoring your health.
 

Apple Watch 6 first impressions!

Sep 17, 2020

The Apple Watch Series 6 assumes that it's the best smartwatch around. Now in its sixth iteration, the wearable category king has spoiled users with buttery smooth performance, velvety haptics and trouble-free setup. Everything about the Apple Watch experience is almost obnoxiously seamless, and that’s a big reason why it owns nearly half the market.

So what's new? The Apple Watch 6 offers blood oxygen (SpO2) monitoring for the first time, a brighter always-on display and a faster chip. Rival smartwatch manufacturers seem to be taking larger leaps forward with their products, while Apple sticks to its incremental process (and it’s 18-hour battery life).
