1. Always On Display

The major feature on the Apple Watch Series 5 is the new always-on display. This is something many people have been waiting for since, well, the first Apple

Watch release. And Apple finally figured out how to make it work. Apple has a brand new technology stack that works together with the display and the processor. It only lights

up some sections of the display and does it in a way that consumes very little power.

Therefore, you can now know the time and details from your complications without having to raise your wrists. This is very good when you are working out, or when you are stuck in

a subway and you cannot move your hand.

In addition, the display intelligently dims and brightens as you move your wrist.

There’s a new W3 chip in the Series 5 Apple Watch that will simplify and make it faster to connect with other Apple devices.

without your iPhone.

The Apple Watch Series 5 ships bundled with a new S5 chip. This is the fifth version of Apple’s new System-in-Package chip that has all the processing components

In just one chip.

Do not own an iPhone.

Just like the iPhone, the Apple Watch features a compass on board. This will prove helpful when you move directly from the watch face. You can also launch the compass app

and look at the full compass view on the entire display.

The Maps app also now supports the compass. This will allow you to navigate using the Apple Watch Maps app and you will be able to view the direction

you’re pointing in, from the Maps application.
