According to our smartwatch expert
Thanks to the new and improved Always On Retina Display of the Apple Watch Series 5 40mm, your digital watch face is always visible. This way, you immediately know what time it is, without having to move your wrist. The screen doesn't drain the battery either: it still lasts 18 hours long. The Apple Watch Series 5 also features a heart rate sensor and an integrated tracker for various types of workouts, and more handy features that we're used to from the Apple Watch. With the integrated compass, you never lose sight of your goal. In addition, when you're using the compass, you can also see your altitude. Of course, the Apple Watch 5 is compatible with Apple Pay, so you can quickly make payments in the store.
The Apple Watch is suitable for a wrist circumference of 13 to 20cm. Note: to use the Apple Watch, you need an iPhone 6S or newer with iOS 13 or newer.

After much deliberation, I decided to return the Apple Watch 5. The reason? You can do too much with it, which it often just isn't, but what you paid for.
For almost 500 euros you have a huge Apple lock-in (because the watch doesn't work with Android) and you have a kind of small extra computer on your wrist. When the novelty wears off, you quickly wonder what extras the Apple Watch offers on top of the iPhone you also carry with you. That's where I'm going wrong.
It's nice to have a decibel meter on your wrist, but once you start measuring that taking a pee is about 45dB, you've left the peak of usefulness behind you. I never needed a compass. The always-on display is nice, but you can't schedule it so that you can't wear the watch at night because then you are in the light. Diving into the settings every time is something like that. The battery lasts a day, so every day you need an hour somewhere to recharge the watch. If you do that at night then you don't have a sleep registration, so you have to do it somewhere during the day. During the day I am busy with other things. Of the dials that are included (and you cannot expand), there are mainly those that are a showcase of the beautiful screen, but functionally there are only 2 or 3. For a primary purpose as displaying time, it is quite scanty.
So is it a worthless smart-watch? No not at all. It even has its own app store and you can do a lot with it, but little that you can't do more conveniently with your iPhone on the larger screen. In the end I noticed that for me the apple watch mainly became a buzzer for new notifications. So that I could quickly and discreetly check my wrist to see what's coming in. But, we are talking about a notification-transmitting device of almost 500 euros (without extra straps) and yes, hello ... there are really a lot of other smart-watches and sports-watches for much less money. .
Therefore: return. I can spend this money better.

As we know from Apple, the watch comes in a very nice stylish box. You take the watch out of the box and place it near your iPhone and ... that's the installation. Your iPhone takes care of everything for you. The watch and your iPhone ask a number of questions and voala. Your watch is ready for use. You even control your Apple TV with your watch because it simply hangs on your wrist.
