Apple Watch Series 5
Its time has come!
The Series 5 Apple Watch takes a new look
at the smartwatch. It has some great new
features, and Apple has instigated a great
new way of selling them. Buy online, or in an
Apple Store, and you no longer have to buy
a set watch and strap. Instead, you choose
the case you want and combine it with a
band of your choice. With over a thousand
combinations, it makes for a much more
personalised timepiece.
Always On
The Apple Watch Series 5’s Retina display is always on, giving instant access to important
information without tapping or lifting the screen. Just the thing when you’re doing a workout
and you simply can’t turn your wrist. It does, however, dim itself to preserve battery. A tap or
raise returns the watch face to full brightness. Each watch face has been optimised for the new
always-on display.
Apple tells us this exciting new feature doesn’t impact on battery life, which remains at
around 18 hours.
Navigation Elation
The Series 5 watch makes it easier to
find your way around. For explorers
and adventurers, it now has an on-
screen compass featuring heading,
incline, latitude, longitude, and current
elevation. There are three new Compass
complications for your watch face so you
can see direction at a glance. The Maps
app has also been updated, so the less
adventurous among us can more easily
find our way around towns and cities.
