The definitive review of the Apple Watch Series 5:

And Apple Watch Series 5 is the culmination of Apple’s journey towards a smart, capable timepiece that’s useful, accurate and a joy to wear.Though some have felt this was an iterative upgrade, there’s a lot more that’s changed than you might think.

Apple Watch Series 4 also pulled off a clever trick: although the case size was different, it didn’t feel any bigger. And it was an encouragement to upgrade not least because all older straps, dating way back to 2015, still fitted perfectly, despite the increase in size. Then there’s ceramic, the material used in Apple Watch Series 2 and Series 3 but not available in Series 4. It comes in the bright, unmissable white finish that is just beautiful to look at. The gray ceramic that was such a success in Series 3 has not returned. Never mind. Take one look at the gleaming white ceramic and it’s hard to choose anything else .

I worried at first that having a lit display would be distracting, but that hasn’t turned out to be the case. First, because the display dims so that it’s not eye-catching. Second, because as well as dimming the brightness, Apple cleverly optimizes the look to draw less power, so bright white elements are changed for less power-hungry ones, for instance.

But I’d add that on the Apple Watch Series 4, I regularly took it off at night and found it had almost 50% charge left. Now, it’s closer to 30%. In other words there is unsurprisingly an impact on battery life but it’s still regularly a full day and more.
