First feedback on the new features of the Apple Watch Series 5

Here is the new Apple Watch Series 5. Unsurprisingly, the new connected watch from the Apple brand has actually been presentedon the occasion of the back-to-school 2019 keynote, and will replace the Series 4 launched a year earlier.

Due to the absence of a sleep tracking functionality and the appearance of a smaller number of new features than usual, the watch caused a reaction in the press. From a general point of view, specialists from the Apple brand describe this new Series 5 as “similar” to the previous generation. Just like the iPhone 11, Apple is gently evolving the connected object, and is also neglecting the field of health among its small changes.

“I say it in the nicest way – but there’s not much to see”, wrote Dana Wollman, journalist atEngadget. During the Apple conference on September 10, Tim Cook did not actually reveal a significant number of new features. New materials (titanium, ceramic and recycled aluminum), the watch mainly introduces functionality« Always On Display », allowing the watch to be able to keep its screen on permanently (without affecting battery life according to Apple).

A feature that nevertheless pleases Dieter Bohn, journalist atThe Verge. According to him, this new feature will add interest to the watch, which should not require you to turn it on just to be able to read the time.

Less surprising than the Apple Watch Series 4

By adding a few features such as a new international emergency call system or an improved GPS with compass, the new Series 5 will appear more like a correction of the Series 4. This predecessor was also at the center of comparisons , while its presentation had notably made it possible to release it from a “new, larger screen as well as avery popular integrated electrocardiogram» wrote Dana Wollman ofEngadget. The tool measuring cardiac activity has also become one of the main selling points of the Apple brand's connected watch. Surprising therefore, that the current Series 5 does not reinforce Apple in the health sector, with growing demand.
