Hi Guys,
This review is slightly different, it's more of a "what's it like to live with the Apple Watch Series 5, rather than covering all the specs and details about the new Apple Watch.
I spent a week with an Apple Watch Series 5 in Aluminium Space Grey, and here is my review on it. I talk about choosing Apple Watch with Cellular vs non-cellular, battery life and sapphire glass.
Let me know what you guys think of the new Apple Watch.

Having a Rolex and an Apple Watch I have to say I wear the Apple Watch much more.The experience is so immersive and ultimately informative.At the end of the day why do we wear a watch ?If it’s as a piece of jewellery which also happens to tell the time - then Rolex etc every time .If it’s as piece functional device which monitors
your health and connects you to the world - then Apple Watch etc every time .
Bark and Jack Adrian, you should add a few leather sports/racing straps.....
Sexies man alive. Subscribed.
Dude, you don’t wear it at night. You charge it over night
The coffee press looks cool..What is it? :D
That was a really fair and balanced review from someone who really appreciates fine watches. Well done mate.
Thanks a lot Joseph. 👍🏻
Joseph Albanese Totally with you👍🏻 Count me in as a subscriber👍🏻
ChocolateStarfish thanks buddy. 🙌🏻👍🏻
@barkandjack hey Adrian thoughts after 4/5months? Still struggling with rocking on two wrists.
This is the most honest Apple watch review I've ever seen.
The Apple watches are great if you love having your phone’s features on your wrist. It’s very convenient not having to pull out your phone to read emails, check notifications or missed calls and of course, checking the time/date/weather etc etc. I don’t however, think it makes sense to upgrade every single year. These watches are so good and reliable, you don’t even have to get a new one when it comes out. I think upgrading every 3-4 or hell, maybe even 5 years is more reasonable.
Who the hell would wear this and a normal mechanical watch at the same time.. That's like wearing 2 pairs of pants..
Ace I wear 2 pants in the cold
Lol
I wear 2 watches
Not to mention... why in 2020 someone would wear a Rolex is beyond my comprehension, its stupidly expensive and it doesn`t do the only job that it is supposed to do... be on time.
Just watch The Mr Bean Christmas Special 😉
Being a watch enthusiast myself, I’ve gone with the same setup as you . 11 pro max and the 44mm black aluminium wifi model. It’s a very different experience from wearing an Omega or Rolex. Infact it made me appreciate my mechanical watch collection even more. Why? Its after wearing this that you realise genuinely how well built the omegas and Rolex’s of the world are. Absolute units. On the other hand i am now beginning to wear my Apple Watch a lot more. It’s a great device that tracks my heart rate during workout, daily steps, notifies me about me my messages or mails and i dont need to reach for the phone. Gives me the time accurately, tells me the weather, and i have 2 further different time zones on it as well, which is very useful to me. It’s a good experience overall.
Battery life overall has been ok for me. I use it to sleep track as well now and wake up with around 20% after a 24 hour use. While I’m doing the morning routine, it charges up and I’m wearing it again. The 30 min to 1 hour its on the charger, is enough time to get ready and stuff.
Its a great device, and I wear it a fair bit, but its not on replacing my watch collection any time soon, even though i do enjoy it a fair bit. Give it a go, its an experience worth having atleast once.
Arman Talwar weird flex but okay
Arman Talwar can I have a job
The problem is that if the display was sharper, the battery life would be even shorter. It's a necessary sacrifice until batteries get better.
That’s a good point.
Bark and Jack its a point, its basic..
For the price I expect a better screen sorry...
Why would you need sharper screen anyway? The utility of it is very basic. You don't need 100hz 4k on your wrist
@@Keysersoze786 5 mins battery life for you then.
Never had an Apple Watch. But from what I’ve seen of the series 5, I’m gonna get one!
Miguel Teixeira Be careful you’ll never want to get rid of it so you better be prepared to own iPhones forever lol.
Tyler Brown boy are you speaking the truth...
@@bmxfreakxyo That's not a problem: I've had iPhone since the 5S
I hate it tbh battery life is awful, exercise tracking is lackluster compared to competitors. I came back to Apple since the 5c just because Samsung got rid of the headphone jack.
My old galaxy watch won’t pair well with the iPhone so I figured I’d get an Apple Watch. The galaxy in my honest opinion blows it out of the water in every way. The scans better and has some feature the Apple Watch doesn’t. Apple Watch does the heart rate stuff better though.
I’ve run the Apple Watch on minimal power settings to try to optimize battery life, it still barely last the day. The galaxy watch keeps going on for 3-4 days
Alec Nguyen You’re such a troll. Go back to your cave troll. Shoo!
In a sea of haters, I’m going to say that I love my Apple Watch. I own a BB58, an Oyster Perpetual 39mm and a few others, but my 40mm Stainless Steel Gold Apple Watch gets by far the most wrist time. It’s not because I need the notifications (I turned off mostly everything other than calls and texts), it’s because it genuinely motivates me to stay healthy,. It reminds me to stand up, to walk 10,000 steps a day and generally be more active than I otherwise would be. When I’m walking wherever it may be, and I’m listening to a podcast (HODINKEE Radio most likely), my iphone stays in my pocket and I use my watch to choose what I listen to or change the volume, or pay for a sandwich. It just makes life easier. I may have drunk directly from the Apple Kool Aid, but I’d go as far to say that the Apple Watch has changed my life for the better.
perfectly said I whole heartedly feel the same.
Josh T I would definitely agree I have a very modest mostly low cost watch collection which I used to go back and forth every day to decide which one to wear! I bought the series 5 cellular Apple Watch and just having the reminders to close my rings reminding me I need to get up more during the day truly motivates me to close all my rings at first it was hard but starting to get easier I’m walking the dog at night I’m getting out of my chair and walking during commercials for a minute just to close those rings. Who da thought!
I feel the same way,I am a true horologist and i don't see myself wearing this that much but for sports/working out it seems really useful. I think ill have to take a trip to the shops and try this out and see if i will buy one!
For the last few years I have observed the evolution of the Apple watch with amusement, thinking why would I ever want to buy one of these things. Now I am approaching my mid seventies, am retired, and have everything I need. Just about everything on the market now are things I might want but do not need. Having said that, I thought the same about the iPhone when it first came out, and now cannot imagine a life without one, so I definitely need that piece of tech. However, the most likely reason I might purchase one of these things is for the fun of it. I enjoyed your video. Still thinking about getting one.
Jojodoc W. Ok boomer
I apologize for the comment above me, we don’t claim idiots like him
Hope you bought that watch though!
Tried to buy it today. Disabled and the Apple store is 1.5 hrs away so called. They said to drive over, be there at 10:30 but no promises to wait on me or help me because someone could...get this...call in sick. He suggested I buy online but I wanted to see how the two sizes fit on my wrist. So he said to go to Best Buy. Expected to have a new watch, bands, AirPod pros, charging deck. Alas...I have nothing. Never have back surgery and go to an Apple store before you’re fully healed. Side note: If your current AirPods don’t charge , a replacement charger is $200 bucks. Hmm 🤔
Jojodoc W - I too am in the same age bracket and have more than I need! Currently wearing a Series 3 and have a love, hate relationship (mostly love) with it. Gadgets have always fascinated me. Using self-control and discipline Ive avoided overindulgence (translation, if the funds aren’t there) neither is the item admired. Do I need a Series 5? No. Will I end up with one? My wallet is saying, ‘I got your back, it’s only money.’
I really like how much attention Adrian puts to the comment section. There are not many youtubers who reply to comments as much as you do.
Thanks a lot mate. I try to reply to as many as possible. If it wasn’t for people watching the videos, then none of this would be possible. I’m so grateful for people watching. 🙌🏻
Great review. I’m a tech head, and although I have a series 4, I was thinking of getting a series 5.
The battery issue...I charge mine every morning while in the shower. I also have a small dongle thing that charges up the watch, just in case it runs down due to excess use. It’s clipped to my rucksack. My watch is never off my wrist, apart from having a shower.
The stand up thing...it’s very useful to give me a shove to get up and walk around. I have depression, and it does help to motivate me when I don’t want to get out of bed etc.
The look...I love how it looks, and how I can change the face to match the straps and phone covers. I have about 16 covers, and 12 straps. I like how easy it is to change straps.
Even though I don’t have to get up in the morning for any reason, I still set an alarm on my watch to wake me at 8am every morning. And my phone and watch are set to go to sleep at midnight, which reminds me to put an audible book on my iPad, and that helps me to get to sleep.
I use my watch to pay for my shopping, which is really a great feature. No more rummaging for my purse. I use stocard for all the store cards.
I like how I can pause my music, on my watch. And I like how I can put my hand over my watch to ignore a phone call.
The light has been very useful, as it’s help me get to the bathroom without turning on lights, and tripping over the cat! 😄
I always keep a cover on my watch, as I do with iPad Pro and iPhone. Why would you not protect the screens and backs? If for no other reason than to get more money for it, when you sell it.
We have 7 Alexa spots, an Alexa echo, 16 smart plugs, and 6 smart lights, in the house. My fella has an iPad, Apple Watch and 2 iPhones...1 is his work one. Apart from his work one, I’ve bought all his gadgets, and all the gadgets in the house. Oh, and I’ve got an Alexa spot in my car, and a car cam! This year, we are going to get cameras for outside, and maybe update the doorbell camera and screen.
One bit of advice...get contents insurance. When we leave the house, we have hundreds of £££ of gadgets on us. I had my bag snatched, several years ago, and I got a replacement updated iPhone. I also accidentally dropped a table on my iPad, a few years ago. It was an old one, but I was given an iPad Air as a replacement.
So, did you end up buying an Apple Watch series 5?
Best balanced review. Further reason why I never ever want to be this connected to technology. My life is very balanced without it. Great video Adrian!!!
Hmmm.
1. Should I buy a watch.
2. I bought a watch.
3. 5 things I like about my watch.
4. I'm selling my watch.
The youtube formula for success!
Toby the Glen 😂😂😂
LOL
As much as I hate Apple for tricking their customers with their slick marketing, gotta say that their attention to detail is truly impressive, something that almost no other tech companies have been able to achieve. Also, awesome review! Enjoyed it all the way eventhough I'm not an Apple Watch user
Nothing gives me more joy than hearing a British person saying aluminum. No hate love your channel!
Fox Art aluminum alloy is a composition consisting mainly of aluminum to which other elements have been added
For me it’s been great. I am a wheelchair user. Most watch bands break. Apples choice for how the band attaches makes it so much stronger. I also was diagnosed with a fib. The watch did a great job telling me when I was in a fib. I thought the heart rate monitor was wrong but in fact was very accurate.
I started my love for watches with a garmin Fenix 3. I used to train ten times a week as a rower and so it was more practical to just wear the same watch all the time and I chose the Fenix specifically beacause it looked like a "real" watch. From then I started to find out more about mecanical watches, and eventually grew to hate the constant barrage of notifications I got on my wrist and simply turned off all it's connectivity funcions. Nowadays I wear a mecanical watch and use my garmin just for working out. It was a great way to get into watch collecting but I don't thing i'll ever want to have that much information on my wrist all the time. Just the time and date is fine for me!
tq dude
Man, the candor in this video is much appreciated!
I love my technology- when it works for me- but when I feel it gets in the way of my lively hood is when I step back. Had an Apple Watch for about six months before selling it, just cause I didn’t want to be reachable and accessible by people or companies/social medial 24hrs a day. A large part of my job is being social and meeting with people and at the end of the day, I like being able to draw boundaries by leaving my phone in the other room and saying “sorry, I didn’t see that message last night.” I’ve never been faulted for it, and my mechanical watches just don’t vie for my attention like a smart watch does. All that to say, to each their own!
Helpful assessment - appreciate the honest opinion.
Thanks for watching Victor.
I watched a tons of videos about apple watch, in all of them the answer is yes buy an apple watch, this is the first video in which i felt that the person talking is truly honest and want the best for the viewers. Loved the video, you pushed me to reconsider buying the apple watch. But i think that i will go for it.
Thanks for watching Karim and I’m glad you found it useful. 👍🏻
I don’t enjoy being connected all the time so it’s not for me.
Richard M you can turn it off
That is why you do not get the cellular version and turn off notification vibrations and sounds.
Why not
Then how did you find your way into a smart watch video in the first place
Tangerine Tech habe you heard abput yputube recomendations
I didn't care much for the apple watch until I tried on my cousins one and almost immediately I was like... I want this... excellent review 👌
Replaced all my other watches with a series 5 and haven’t looked back
George White because why? It’s beyond convenient.. instead of just having a watch when you have your phone.. Apple Watch has way more uses
George White bruh you can play flappy bird on it calm down
It's been nice having you in the hobby ;)
I've done the same thing. I'm happier with just my apple, they are cheaper compared to a high-end watch. Apple watches still work after 7 years you just replace the battery not a big deal to me. If I wanted to keep it for more than 7 I can just find someone to work on it. I like how my Apple Watch just works with me day to day. Judging based on how many sold I consider that a big win! out with the old in with the new.
Had my original Series 1 now for nearly 5 years. It still works and I change the face on a whim from time to time.
Now my wife has decided I need the new Series 5. There’s no point arguing, so next week I will hand in my Series 1 in the store and get the Series 5 with all the bells ‘n whistles and a $110 off the new price. And that is that.
I've never really saw the use for an apple watch until the series 5. The ECG capabilities, fitness tracking, ease of use, notifications, etc.. it really offers a lot especially for my field of work I'm a longshoreman and do a little armed security on the side so pulling out my phone every time I get a notification is distracting and annoying. Now when I get a notification of any sort I can take a quick glance at my wrist to see if it's important, family, weather, etc is really useful and saves a lot of time
Great video! I owned the Apple Watch Series 4 for a year and 3 months, and recently sold it for many reasons.
1. The Apple Watch doesn’t look good on the wrist. A black square can’t compare to a traditional watch.
2. The glass on the Apple Watch scratches SUPER easily. The glass was scratched up so bad, that for the price, the quality isn’t justified. In Canada , I paid $560 for the aluminum GPS model
3. Having to charge it everyday can get frustrating, and always having to remember to bring the charger for it when you are away from home for more than a day.
4. I own several g-shock watches, and I must say they look way better on my wrist than the Apple Watch. The g-shocks have 2years + battery life, and really get to express yourself (as well as any other mechanical watch) much more than wearing an Apple Watch.
5. The Apple Watch is consumer electronics, so eventually the battery will lose its max charge (just like smartphones), and will become obsolete tech. Not the mention the damage Apple watches endure. G-shocks are literally indestructible, and have a more timeless design to them. So many options.
6. You shouldn’t have to buy and Watch, and get a screen protector for it, and a case to protect it. What’s the point? Just to get a notification on your wrist?
7. The fitness tracking, and heart rate monitor is cool tech, however, the novelty wore off and I stop even looking at my results, or closing my rings. And also, no one else cares! I workout 5-6 days a week, and just wearing a g-shock is perfect for that. I don’t need to know what my heart rate is, and anyone who buys this watch will feel the same way over time as I have.
Those are my gripes. I want to point out that I’m a huge Apple fanboy, and was reluctant to sell this watch. But owning it for over a year was enough time for me to decide a traditional watch is far superior.
Honestly, I really rarely wear my Rolex Daytona anymore. I bought the stainless steel Hermes edition (again, I had the original as well) because I have so many stainless steel brackets/band/adapters (alligator x2, stingray, apple ss bracelet) and I tend to upgrade every couple of version upgrades. The Hermes edition really really really holds it value well if you don't wear the band (always get the deployment clasp single tour as they are the highest % resale). Just being able to see who is calling and texting me without pulling out my phone during a meeting is worth the money to me
Well, while I really appreciate your review it was so well rounded I’m even more confused about whether or not to buy it 😂
Hi Sarah, thanks for watching and sorry it made you more confused 🙈.
You can always do what I did, buy it and use it for just over a week and then return it if you’re not happy. I used to work for Apple and they happily accept returns within 14days.
Good luck. 👍🏻
Bark and Jack oh wow I had no idea, I thought you must’ve been working with them as a Collab to do that. Thanks so much! Some really good, honest info in this! Thank you 🙏🏽
Sarah Harris Did you buy one since?
The best review of this watch on RUclips. I’ve watched it 3 times trying to decide if I want it as I’m a mechanical watch guy.
Having a Rolex and an Apple Watch I have to say I wear the Apple Watch much more.The experience is so immersive and ultimately informative.At the end of the day why do we wear a watch ?If it’s as a piece of jewellery which also happens to tell the time - then Rolex etc every time .If it’s as a functional device which monitors your health and connects you to the world and offers much else- then Apple Watch etc every time .
Tbh u can live without some of the watch features tbh(as you have a phone) and u can never beat an actual watch in terms of style.
The most down to earth, honest and relatable video on this watch I've seen. All of my questions have been answered, without any BS too. Brilliant British head on this bloke's shoulders. Thank you.
Thanks so much Jack for watching and glad it answered questions. 👍🏻
😂 waking you up in middle of night to breathe and stand up 😂 💀
Luis Canino I don’t need my Apple Watch to tell me to get up in the middle of the night, my bladder does that for me 😆
I haven’t had this problem, but then I’ve set my ‘do not disturb’ hours in my phone settings.
Barely halfway through your video but your genuine passion for tech really shines through your video. Excellent stuff here!
First time I’ve watched one of your videos. This has to be the best, most balanced view I’ve seen of Apple Watch. To point, no waffle, good pros/cons and excellent summary. Great vid
I thought his channel was for tech reviews because of how good he talked about this watched..... opened his channel & it's full of watches 😳 I love this review! so honest and straightforward.
1:33 - that second-hand sweep is perfect. who needs spring drive
I'm in the Samsung side of it (nothing wrong with Apple though), I tried the Samsung watch, but I could not live with the constant notification buzzing on the wrist, it was too stressful.
Also, I felt stupid having my Black Bay on one wrist and the smartwatch on the other. So I ended up giving my Samsung watch to a friend.
My wife, on the other hand, is neck-deep in the Apple ecosystem, she doesn't wear a "real" watch, and she is a teacher witch makes her Apple watch perfect for her.
As for the design of the Apple watch. I love it, and therefore I would love to own the H Moser "SWISS ALP WATCH SMALL SECONDS" watch at some point. It's a beauty.
I think being connected all the time is great when you're on the job, especially if your job requires you to be connected. But I'd hate to wear it when I'm supposed to be unplugged, whether it's after work hours, weekends, or on vacation
thanks for this!! I guess this pushed me in the right direction. I'm a sucker for gadgets and a long-time early Apple adopter. The Apple Watch however never could charm me, as I am a watch enthousiast. Oldfashioned mechanical watches. Last weekend, when I was VERY close to finally give in, and checking what would be the best size watch for me, I noticed what a fantastically made watch it is, but also a flimsy plastic thing. I began to doubt again. Also with the 18 hours battery life - ridiculous. I took the Apple watch off, and my steel mechanical diver back on. When you mentioned that an Apple watch actually only has a very limited lifespan, I saw the light. This is not for me. At least not against that kind of money, and not for a lifespan of a few years only. I will stick to my collection of mechanical watches, and with my iPhone (since the first model ever came out) in my pocket - all info I need with me. Thanks !!
A bit late but just wanted to say that the unboxing experience you created for me as a viewer was phenomenal! Loved the attention to detail ;)
The battery life is the biggest reason I wouldn’t even consider it; it would need to last 72hrs minimum for me and have a fast change time 60 mins max.
FreeToWheel But try to fit a bigger battery in an watch, its hard. You don’t want a car battery around your arm
True; that’s why I said 3 days and not a week like my old Nokia phone or years like my old G-Shock.
They keep adding technology without thought for the battery. Why not include solar or movement generated power to help add a small amount of power to the power; a bit like regeneration from braking with EV cars.
I’m sure they will be able to make that possible in the near future.
I moved to a major city and I got the gps + cellular for safety reasons. If my phone dies I can call an Uber, call people, use maps, or signal for emergency. Worth it for peace of mind.
Thank you for this review. It was well thought out and counts as one of the very few reasonable reviews of the Apple Watch. You laid out the pros and cons very well. And, perhaps uniquely, you were prepared to say it wasn't for you.
I have been an Apple watch person for years. Recently I discovered watches that just tell the time and don't bother me. Yeah I still wear it for exercise and to sleep but that's it. Now I am enjoying just getting the time on a beautiful watch.
I enjoy your vlogs. I have learnt a lot.
You keep watches less protentious than other youtubers. Thanks.
I've been using a standing desk for years and I love it!
No hyping it up no knocking it down , seams a very fair assessment of your opinion witch is very much appreciated. .. I still want one but do I need one , will watch your video again. Thank you.
I’m not an Apple Watch guy. On the other hand, seeing all this humiliating reactions of people wearing expensive automatic watching, sometimes hurting themselves to buy them, I have a message for you: better having money in your pocket than on your wrist 🔥👍
I also bought the apple Watch 5 for the same reason. On my left wrist I wear my traditional watch, while on the right is the Stainless Steel Apple watch with black rubber strap. I leave the face on health monitor with heartrate and decibles. I own a machine shop, so knowing the abient noise db is good. Now I can see emails, phone calls, text messages and investment news alerts at a quick glance instead of pulling out my larger iPhone XS max from my pocket every ten minutes. Very handy. I really like it, but still wearing my regular watch on my left wrist.
I think this has a place in a collection. I use it for monitoring sleep at night and health etc. I also never double wrist (weird). But this is an add on and not a main watch
Monitor health???
Ernest Krajnc Yes. Heart rate before, during and after a workout. Sleep rate etc
Ecg, pulse, calories burned, exercise tracking, distance and steps counted reminds you if you’ve been sitting awhile to get up and move for a bit , fall detection and emergency notification......so on and so on
brian buchert Very well put 👍
I guess it all come down to what do you want it for. I am a regular runner, all I want is a watch that monitor my runs, store my musics, and keep basic time. There are hundreds out there with much cheaper price tags. If you want fancy functions, cool connection to phones, good looking, and status, go for Apple watch. My watch is made from China and it serves me the last 2 years; connects to Strava, and it cost 4 times less. Just my opinion.
Ah, yes the only watch my wife approves of. I bought one for my wife and she said it was pointless because she has her phone but she has grown to love it. Unfortunately all of my mechanical watches are still "stupid" lol
I have the Apple Watch 5 Nike edition and trust me it is awesome. I bought the gps with cellular version which is awesome when I can drive to the gym and not have to bring my iPhone with me.
This watch is a very nice piece of technology...I would not let one person’s decision not to buy one alter the way you think about the Apple Watch.
If you think you would like one then you will more than likely end up loving it. :)
Awesome review! Keep up the good work! Cheers 🍻
I would never, ever have gotten the watch (5) had it not come with the cellular option. I like to go on long walks, bike rides and hikes in my local urban forest and when I do I am usually not wearing much in the way of pockets for my big heavy iphone Xs Max so I love that I can do that now without giving up the safety and convenience of being able to make or take a call. I also suffer from never sleeping well and the watch is helping me learn about my sleep habits and cycles via sleep apps and the monitoring of my heart rate, movements in my sleep etc. I love how easily I can have Siri text someone for me. And yes the alarm of course. What I dislike the most is the inability to listen to an audiobook directly from my watch's speaker (or music) as in bed this helps me fall asleep and I don't need it loud; the built in speaker would be good enough.
I will go for G-Shock every time I’m thinking about digital watch. Your comment about constant reminders to the point that it’s getting annoying is spot on! I can see the appeal but its just not for me.
Love this vid. I'm a motorbike rider so spend many long days away from contact, I will never leave home without an automatic, but have found the new smart watch revolution a blessing for emergencies and Google maps. Treat your main hand as your watch, and the other like a vestigial pacemaker.
Looks like the bottom right of your screen has already taken some knocks?
That B roll random sequence😂 either go for it or let it out all together hahaha
By far the BEST demonstration of the AppleWatch I’ve seen since it’s inception!
Spot on mate!
Wow. Thanks so much Chris.
Did you see the review ID Guy just posted today!?! WoW... he didn’t sugar coat it! LoL 😲
ruclips.net/video/37imX7fgku4/видео.html
Another great video Adrian - I'm a massive mechanical watch enthusiast and proud of my "small" collection, indeed, I have watches that even after 15 years I put on and just admire in awe at the 'genius' that went into making that movement tick. As well, of course, the beauty that is indeed in the eye of the beholder. However, I wear an apple watch every single day - to me its a tool for work, like my laptop or my phone, its quite brilliant and would not be without it.
Double wristing? Weird. Unless of course, you want people around you to know that indeed you can afford a 'proper' watch - it's an ego thing I guess.
The health alerts? My mother is 86, she has an apple watch and if she were to fall over or not move for 6 hours both my sister and I get an alert - Quite Brilliant.
There's plenty of time and room for both. And when you go out in the evening, a meeting or special occasion putting on your 'proper' watch, whatever it may be, makes it feel even more special. Thanks again for another good vid.
I'm surprised Hodinkee didnt patent the terms Week on the wrist and Talking watches ....
Is it not worth having without access to an iPhone? This is probably the most honest review of this watch that I've seen. It's still a lot of money for something that will be replaced by a model having even more features. How many people can afford to have a new £400-£700 watch every few years?
Apart from commenting here on RUclips I’m not connected nor want to be for that matter, to any other social media. I also have my smartphone on me much of the time. Yet I still have and find useful my Apple Watch. As well as a small collection of mechanical watches too.
I bought one a month or so ago for 2 purposes - tracking my heartbeat, distance and calories for fitness workouts and finding my way around London because I don't want to be staring at a phone. The rest of the time I wear a mechanical watch.
I use the smart watches for the same thing and man the galaxy line is 10x better. The watches tracking isn’t great besides the heart beat and EKG.
The galaxy watch have me so much more information on my wake up & end of the day.
When you’re over 30 years old, you dont need an alarm to wake up, your bills and worries in life makes you wake up!😄🤣🤣🤣
boomer humour
The cellular version is great especially when allied with AirPods so you never miss that important call.
Saleswoman: “Are you ever without your phone?”
Answer: “No”
Saleswoman: “Then you really don’t need this tiny screened watch”
the Epster So ..... we don’t need watches either?
Kev P sacrilege Kev P, sacrilege! 🤣👍🏼
Here In Australia, we go to the beach...Thieves go to the beach too! So I leave my phone at home or in the car, take my watch and can still make calls, pay for coffee and something to eat, I can check the; tides; sun rise and sun set; SMS friends and family; set alarms; switch to exercise mode; walkie talkie a friend or family, without making a call; use the calculator; check; trains; weather; reminders; maps; translator; call a cab/taxi; bank accounts; heart rate, etc. And - No one takes my stuff/ wallet or phone while I'm in the surf !!! Sweet!
@@gbsailing9436 Everything but enjoy the beach
@@PeteNice29 LOL. No, you haven't seen the beaches here in Australia...the girls flock to them on sunny days, thank the LORD! And, you can visit a new beach every day for 25 years and still not see them all. I have 7 beaches surrounding where I live. So I'm stuck for choice. Swim, surf, snorkel, bathe, paddle, wade for miles, it's all good!
I bought an Apple Watch about a month ago mainly with the aim to track my fitness. It has inspired me to get off my arse more, so props for that. Beyond thatvI probably haven’t tapped into its functionality much apart from changing the type face to match my top! And I charge mine overnight, so the battery life really isn’t an issue. I wouldn’t really want to be without it now, but you’re right, sometimes I would like to be disconnected and just see the time.
This guy made making coffee look badass
🙌🏻
That said, what is that coffee making wonder?!
Hey Bark and Jack if you slide the torch function to the left, you will have an emergency light that shows constant red, or if you slide it again further, you get a flashing red light. Great if you're trying to attract attention either in a crowd or if you're in a remote location...!!!
I just want it to do sports and track the calories and heart rate.... I can’t decide if it’s worthy full price just for that :/
Carlos Eduardo Peña Cardivillo buy a replica
I’d suggest getting the Series 3 because it does the aforementioned things perfectly
The health features really make it perfect. communicates heart rate, ecg/ekg, steps, movement, excercise, sleep time etc all to your health app. Just waiting on a blood pressure feature :)
I'm surprised you say it takes so long to charge. I charge mine up about an hour before bed ( take it off, have a shower, mess about on the ipad, put it back on before drifting off). I'm good for the night and day. This is on the older Series 2.
This is a great review from somebody who appreciates watches, fantastic
Thanks for watching Yousef.
If you wear the watch over night, you can set custom Do Not Disturb modes while you sleep. You can also set the watch into Theater mode which will conserve battery life while sleeping which is handy using a sleep tracking app. I wear my Apple Watch as a health tracker and my luxury Swiss watches as jewelry. Great review!
I don't see the point of wearing it at night, that's when i charge it
Toni van Oortmerssen I wore my galaxy watch all night it just tracks your sleep schedule so you can tell why you aren’t sleeping as well. Also constant charging is bad for your lithium battery
@@alecnguyen838 what are you gonna do when its low on battery? wdym constant charging?
Diamond Latias I think he means overcharging
Alec Nguyen Constant charging? You mean overcharging? That no longer exists in modern tech. Every gadget now with lithium ion battery has a circuit that cuts off charging inputs when it reaches 100%.
Alec Nguyen You have to charge an Apple Watch everyday or the next day it’s most likely dead.
The battery gets better as you use it. Mine improved dramatically.
'Are you ever without your phone?'
'No, of course not'
Then why would you get one of the these at all
Because the phone is in my pocket, or not directly on my person. Either way, I didn't need the apple watch.
Bark and Jack surprise you need to buy another one to figure it out..
For similar reasons that you, presumably, wear a watch when your phone tells the time. Convenience and utility.
I own and wore my series 4 for about 6 months until I realized I relied on it to much. I slowly drifted away from my other mechanical watches and they all collected dust. I soon discovered I really don’t need to be THAT connected to my social life and recently started wearing my mech watches again full time. The Apple Watch is amazing and almost addicting in a way, they almost designed it to make you feel like you have to have it on all the time, I didn’t like that. I still love the apple watches and really any watch for that matter!
I've worked for Apple reseller, been in IT all my working life. Apple watches do nothing for me, I feel that they are disposable, gimmicky and needy. If you are a watch enthusiast they sit uneasily in a collection, stealing wrist time and attention. It is interesting to see you articulate your realisation that it isn't working for you after just one week.
My wife bought a series 4 some time back and after I'd been playing with it for a while I found it such a great piece of gadgetry that I had to get one. So now I'm one of those sad people who wear the Apple watch on the right wrist and a mechanical watch on the left wrist.
Jack Bear tonight right now for the first time I have my Apple Watch on my left wrist and my citizen on my right wrist! NEVER thought I’d do it, but I love both lol
I have the series 5. It does charge relatively quickly.
Define quickly?
Michael Macco good. Mine should be arriving tomorrow. Exited . 👍🏼
@@bridgetrobson615 Its no where near as fast as the iphone 11 which is a shame.
Great Video definitely going to buy it
Thanks for watching mate. 👍🏻
Can you get a Submariner homage “dial”?
Lol
Yes there’s an app called JinWatch or something like that and has Rolex and other high end Watch faces
That would be like putting M stickers on a entry BMW.
I bought a Apple Watch for one of the reasons he mentioned, I didn't have to carry my phone around the house... Then I started to find myself wearing it out of the house because it was convenient... I enjoyed it for a time, then sold it and came back to my passion. Mechanical watches.
Rolex->Seiko Quartz->Apple Watch->MVMT? 😂
I still have a Series 2 which I still use. It’s good to glance at a notification and decide whether you need to deal with it or it can wait. If you are into fitness it is fantastic.
What a great video Adrian, some will give unnecessary hate for this but I agree that the Apple Watch is a good value prop. What did you think of the always on display compared to the series 1 that you used. Was it worth it? For me I thought it wouldn't be that big a deal so I got the Hermes edition series 4. Loving the content as always!
Acquiesce & Co Hermes edition is a waste of money. Just one engraving and a minor bit of software upgrade. And obviously the always on display is better
@@alexgallagher9054 I have the series 4 hermes edition mate, you can pick them up for the same price as the series 5 and the major difference is the always on display. Go check ebay etc..
I'd say its value prop, that double signed watch hype
There is my problem , a watch that dies quickly or a traditional one that only tells you the time ? I find I don’t even bother wearing watches anymore.
Seriously appreciated your comments. Still deciding if I really want to be that connected, lol.
Thanks for watching Dennis. 👍🏻
You should buy the stainless steel model. Then you can review it again. It’s totally different.
Good video mate. Still wouldn’t have one, they just don’t appeal to me. Also not a fan of California dials in general!
A great one Adrian. I am going to go for a Apple Watch series 3. especially with SIM card. I do wear mechanical watches but there are some moments i don’t: sports. I just don’t like to bring my cellphone and strap it on my wrist when I am jogging or hitting the gym. I want to listen to music, I like to be able answering calls or making if needed but not bringing my iPhone. As well i like to check my heart rate and distances I run. So to me this would be the best way to go.
Happy weekend, salut ☕️
“Empty myself”? Not inaccurate but...
All valid comments! Been wearing one for a week (44 mm stainless steel w Milanese strap) and I’m torn. My Explorer 39 mm 214270 (white gold 3, 6 & 9 😍) is more stylish, but it won’t call in emergency services if I get clubbed over the head or fall down the stairs. No flashlight, or voice recorder, let alone an ECG. The struggle is real! 😂
Finally a review worth watching. Thank you!
Thanks for watching mate. 👍🏻
Wore one for two years and eventually got sick of being interrupted all the time, especially when having lunch or dinner with friends (yes I know I can turn it on Do Not Disturb). I bought a Speedmaster and haven't looked back.
This is a great honest review! Really enjoyed watching, thanks 😊
Thanks for watching Ellis
No regrets because it saves me time for a quick glance and work items such as calendar and other conveniences otherwise I would have nothing on my wrist, including an old school watch. I also decided to get the cellular version because I am already spending a ton of money for this mini arm computer so I might as well take advantage of all features to be there when I need them. I noticed because it is available I use it so why worry about ALWAYS having my cell with me. For example, what a pain on the butt to drag your cell around on a jog when you can simply wear it on your arm while it checks your pace, heartrate etc. Oh and if I really get concerned, I can do an EKG to determine whether all that work was even worth it, including using the alarm to get out of bed in the first place.
„Are you going out without your Watch?“
I‘M BUYING IT BECAUSE I WANT TO GO OUT WITHOUT MY PHONE!!!!!
Well, the choice is easy for me, the carriers where I live do not support duplicated eSIM, so Apple does not even sell the cellular versions here:) I would really like to go out without my phone sometimes.
I see it this way if you want you’ll get it. Everything has its pros and cons. It’s all about if it’ll suit your needs and if you can afford it. I got one and I love it. Just haven’t figured everything out but it suits my needs
Wonder if these spike in value once Apple discontinues them like Rolex
