Unlike past years, the Apple Watch Series 5 went up for pre-order immediately following Apple’s September event on Tuesday. The Series 5 is available in new materials including ceramic and titanium, and we want to know: have you pre-ordered the Apple Watch Series 5?
The biggest change for the Apple Watch Series 5 is a new always-on display. This allows you to easily see the time and certain watch face complications, without having to raise your wrist or tap on the display. There’s also support for always-on workout details. Here’s how Apple describes the new display:
The Apple Watch Series 5 is available in two new materials, as well: titanium and ceramic. The titanium model is all-new, and as we detailed yesterday, is noticeably lighter than the stainless steel and ceramic models. Meanwhile, the ceramic model has made a return this year after skipping last year’s Apple Watch Series 4.
Several advanced technologies work together to deliver this new feature, including the industry’s only low-temperature polysilicone and oxide display (LTPO), ultra-low power display driver, efficient power management integrated circuit and new ambient light sensor.
Personally, I haven’t yet ordered an Apple Watch Series 5 as I would like to see the new titanium model in person first. I also still really like the Apple Watch Series 4, which I have in stainless steel – so I might skip this year altogether. What about you? Have you pre-ordered an Apple Watch Series 5? Let us know in the poll below and down in the comments!
