Apple Watch Series 5 is Here with an ‘Always On’ Display

Posted on the 10 September 2019 by Vinhta

The new Apple Watch Series 5 is here with an Always on display that shows the time and the watch's complications.

The display is made with a new low-temperature polycrystalline oxide (LTPO) display that is extremely power efficient. Apple is combining this display with a few other hardware and hardware features to keep the clock always visible.

Apple has even revamped the watch's clock face, so they all work with the new display.

Even though the new watch's screen is always on, Apple says it gets the same battery life as the previous model.

Beyond the new screen, Apple has pumped a compass into the watch. This makes using maps easier. There is also a new compass app that even shows you your elevation and longitude and latitude.

To make the watch safer, Apple has added international emergency calling to the Series 5 Cellular model.

Just like the new iPad, the aluminum models are made from 100 percent recycled metal.

Beyond the traditional aluminum and stainless steel watches, Apple has added two titanium colours and a new ceramic case.

The watch is going up for pre-order after the keynote and then it will be on sale for September 20th. The base model watch starts at $399 USD (roughly, $529 CAD) and the Cellular model starts at $499 USD (roughly, $657 CAD).
