Apple today announced Apple Watch Series 5, debuting an Always-On Retina display that never sleeps, so it’s easy to see the time and other important information, without raising or tapping the display.

Always On. Compass. That's it? They've had a year.
Completely agree. I was recently made aware of a survey that asked apple customers "Is an older model of the iPhone a 'good enough' model of the iPhone?" and the resounding majority responded "yes". An unfortunate result that communicates the lack of perceived innovation from one model to the next.
But is it? The biggest I reason I see going with Apple as a no-brainer is the long-lastingness of their products. They remain functional and feel feature-rich for years, and the fact that they don't feel old despite their age is that they're still better than the competitors' products.
I have a Series 4. Always On is super exciting. I just want a bit more if they want me to upgrade. Literally two new features for a new model.
Yeah, I completely agree. I just think they know, and even maybe intend, that people's upgrade cycle is two years at best. I mean, I have an iPhone 7 and I see no reason to upgrade, maybe next year...
Oh they want nothing more than for you to upgrade each year. They are losing profit in a big way when people started settling for every other year. Well...give me a reason to upgrade. Like more than two features. I still might actually. But c'mon.
How many years will it take before we can have Spotify offline sync on the Apple Watch. Literally the only feature I want the watch for, is to be able to run and listen to music without my phone.
Buy a cellular one. Stream while you run.
watchOS has had the APIs available for third party developers like Spotify to implement offline sync since last fall, with watchOS 5. The issue has been raised a lot on their community forums too. When watchOS 6 is released later this month, Spotify will have the APIs to stream over LTE for cellular watches, but they'll probably find an excuse not to implement that either.. :|
Still don't have one but the always on Retina display is a big incentive
Yeah think I agree there, might see what the price drops too on the older models now. I am pretty old school with my watches though
4>3. Don't even think about a 1 or 2. Those were test models. I've had each of them.
I just bought a MiBand 4 for just $30
It's a meh from me. I don't mind that my Series 4 needs to wake to use it. I don't care about a compass but the altimeter should make for better exercise tracking. But still, I don't think I'll get it.
Very good
When will they let me choose where on the watch I want the time to appear????
Cool, buying a 4th gen now
I like apple watch, I use it for playing spotify music.
