Simply Amazing!
By Techlover on Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2020
I bought this Apple Watch 5 to replace my 3.5+ year old Apple Watch Series 1 that had an expanding battery and I didn’t feel comfortable with a battery that could explode and burn me with acid attached to my wrist. The Series 5 is absolutely an amazing bit of kit. Having owned an Apple Watch for over 3.5 years prior I’m no novice but the difference is night and day. The Series 5 is super fast and responsive. AND I LOVE THE ALWAYS-ON DISPLAY! And lets talk about the display! It’s almost edge to edge, extra sharp, no visible pixels like the Series 1 and is bright and vibrant. I love having the time always displayed like a “normal” watch and not being forced to awkwardly raise my wrist nearly to my face to get the S1 screen to turn on just to see the time. I love the new complications and watch faces too! I had so much fun picking complication and mix-matching different clock faces. Just lovely. The battery life is much better than even my S1 when I first bought it 3.5+ years ago. I can get through nearly 2 days with moderate use and one day with heavy use. I use a sleep tracking app called Sleep++ so I literally have the watch on for 24 hours straight and only recharged while I’m bathing in the morning to top up the battery. Apple will be officially releasing WatchOS 7 with native built-in sleep tracking— but you can test it out right now with the Public Beta of WatchOS 7 but because you can’t downgrade an Apple Watch if something goes wrong, I don’t put betas on my main and only Apple Watch but if you’re daring or have a backup Apple Watch, definitely try out the new, amazing WatchOS 7 features. And that brings me to the Apple Watch 5’s longevity. Even though I am sure an Apple Watch 6 is just a month or two away from being announced, The Apple Watch 5 is future proofed for at least a couple more years because it’s so fast, has the always on display, stellar battery life, the ECG and Fall Detection. Also it has the hardware for measuring Blood Oxygen (Blood Oximeter) but it’s not activated in the OS because Apple hadn’t gotten clearance yet by the time the Apple Watch 5 was released— they allegedly have clearance and approval now so AW5 will be getting this feature too! I can go on and on about all the great features and uses for my AW5 but I’ll end this review saying that it’s been worth every penny I paid for and will be an amazing companion on my wrist for the next 3.5 years!

Poor quality and customer service
By Joy on Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2020
Just got it! Couple of things fall below my expectations: 1. Wrist band doesn’t click properly and doesn’t stay in place! Tried multiple times and searched suggestions online. Nothing worked. It’s just damaged and not working. I may lose my watch because of the loose connection 2. Low battery life: for moderate use, meaning I don’t turn on the screen too often. Just use it to track steps. I need to recharge every night. Battery run out quicker than I had anticipated 3. Poor customer service: I contacted Apple customer service and was not happy about the experience. First, a long waiting time on music I don’t like; second, I don’t like the attitude of the person who handled my case. PS: nothing was resolved. I was told the wrist band is out of stock infinitely and he doesn’t know when it will be available for a replacement. and I can only choose other colors. Though later I discovered it was available online for sale and shipment. I then picked another color wrist band, not my top choice, then I was told that it’s also out of stock a few minutes later, though they are still selling it online. I asked what was my options, and was told to call back a few months later ... Overall, the experience made me feel that my complaint was just a problem that they want to get rid of without any empathy of the issue or intent to resolve it. Eventually amazon helped resolving the problem. Thanks to amazon for great customer service! Apple is not what it used to be. This may be the last time I buy any Apple product. Also time to dump all my Apple stock
