The Apple Watch Series 5 doesn’t only show you the time, the display shows you a dimmer version of all the information on your watch face when inactive.
2. The Apple Watch Series 5 Design
The Apple Watch Series 5 is visually unchanged compared to the Series 4. It comes in either a 44mm case
size or a slightly smaller 40mm for those who have slimmer wrists. The case is still a svelte 10.7mm, and the
44mm model which weighs only 36 grams. It’s barely noticeable on your wrist, never gets caught under a
shirt cuff, and the curvy case is wonderfully ergonomic.
It comes in an elongated box that’s an occasion to open, with the case wrapped in a soft protective bag. The
strap is separate, and if you get the Sport Band version, it even has medium and long size options in the box.
The case is delicate but durable, and even the aluminum model feels exceptionally high quality.
3. The Always On Feature
The Series 5 doesn’t only show you what time it is. When it is inactive, the display shows you a dimmer version of all the
information on your watch face. It is usually to use the Info graph Modular watch face, which has six complications along
with the time, so I have access to my most-used apps (Workout and Messages) as well as bits of information like the
weather and battery percentage. You can still see all of that when the display dims.
4. Apple’s Fitness and Health Tracking
The Apple Watch is the only fitness and health tracker you’ll ever need to wear. It takes care of steps, calories, hourly
movement, relaxation, VO2 Max data, hours spent standing, and workout tracking for everything including swimming
and biking, and more unusual activities like yoga and elliptical training.
5. The Battery on the Series 5
The always-on screen in the Series 5 does not ruin the battery life. It’s possible to get a full day out of a single charge. Re-
charging will take about an hour, and a top-up mid-day would easily see it last for the remainder of the second day of
use. Personal use will vary, and expected battery life will decrease if you use the call features on a cellular Apple Watch,
or an extended period of fitness tracking with GPS and heart rate monitoring. This is also the case with the smaller
40mm Apple Watch.
6. The Price tag on the Series 5
The aluminum body costs about $400 for the 42mm and about $430 for the 44mm, or $500 for the GPS + Cellular 42mm
model and $530 for the 44mm version. The stainless-steel Apple Watch starts at $700, the titanium model starts at $800,
the ceramic from $1,300, and the Hermès version from $1,250.
It is not sure how much the Series 5 will cost in Nepal, since it hasn’t been launched in Nepal (as of 19th November,
2019). But the pricing for this Apple watch will fall around Rs. 45,000 – Rs. 50,000 in Nepal.
Apple also provides a one-year warranty against manufacturing defects but offers AppleCare+ for a coverage plan, but
this will still cost $50 for two years.
