There\u2019s also an upgrade to the Retina display that now enables an \u2018always on\u2019 screen so that a digital clock counter appears to float on the watch when you aren\u2019t looking at it. And yes, the Watch will detect your hand movements and know when you bring it closer to your face. Apple state that improvements to the battery means that you can leave the feature turned on and get the same battery life, about 18 hours, as on the Watch Series 4, or you can turn it off and get a little bit more battery endurance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11232\" src=\"https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/apple-watch-series-5-2.jpg\" alt=\"Apple Watch Series 5\" width=\"550\" height=\"572\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/apple-watch-series-5-2.jpg 550w, https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/apple-watch-series-5-2-288x300.jpg 288w, https:\/\/nxtmag.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/apple-watch-series-5-2-404x420.jpg 404w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"normal\"><span lang=\"EN\">A new aspect that I like is the \u2018frost\u2019 or \u2018blurring\u2019 of messages and notifications on the Watch, so nobody can read your notifications until you\u2019ve unlocked your Watch, but you if you\u2019ve missed the notification alert from your iPhone, you can tell that there\u2019s a pending message on the Watch to read when you glance at it. One of the excellent features of the Watch and WatchOS is that you can reply to a message using your Watch, and there\u2019s 8 different reply modes &#8211; from a simple tapback, to sending an emoji, or recording a voice message, but the method we like the most is Scribble, which translates your handwriting to text!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"normal\"><span lang=\"EN\">Apple has also finally added a digital compass so I now know which direction I\u2019m facing when trying to find a place I\u2019ve never been to without having to pull out my smartphone. They\u2019ve also added an electrical heart sensor that lets you check your EKG and will send alerts if there\u2019s any \u2018heart incidents\u2019 &#8211; this sensor was actually integrated in the Watch Series 4 as well but activated with WatchOS 5.1.2. With WatchOS 6 Apple has included female cycle tracing, noise detection, voice memos, Audiobooks and App Store, so you can download apps direct to your Watch.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Verdict<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span lang=\"EN\">Rating: 4.5\/5<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"normal\"><em><span lang=\"EN\">from $599 Apple Watch Series 5 (GPS) <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"normal\"><em><span lang=\"EN\">from $749 Apple Watch Series 5 (GPS + Cellular)<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"normal\"><em><span lang=\"EN\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.apple.com\/sg\"><span style=\"color: #1155cc;\">www.apple.com\/sg<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"normal\"><em><span lang=\"EN\">Apple continues to add a host of minor refinements that together make your Watch experience a lot smoother, and this helps retain the Apple Watch Series 5 as the best and most popular smartwatch on the market.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple\u2019s annual Watch refresh is again on time, and this time around the update to the Watch Series 5 brings subtle improvements than the Watch Series 5, where there was a change in case size.
