I Still Use the Apple Watch Series 5 in 2023… Here’s Why
Is the Apple Watch Series 5 still a good purchase in 2023? Let’s talk about how this watch has held up this many years later. I bought my series 5 44mm for $70. Surprisingly I didn’t waste my money and got a great deal on a modern smartwatch that is super capable. I don’t feel like I’m missing any major features that I use on the daily! There’s a lot to love on this watch like customizing the complications, watch faces, always on display, great battery life and so much more. But this watch is not perfect and we’ll talk about that and a lot more in todays review.

In this video review, we'll be taking a look at the Apple Watch Series 5 in 2023. The Apple Watch has come a long way since its initial release in 2015, and the Series 5 continues to build on that legacy with its impressive features and design.
Firstly, we'll be diving into the design of the Series 5, which remains largely unchanged from previous iterations. The watch still features a square face with rounded edges and a digital crown on the side for navigation. The biggest difference in design comes with the variety of bands that are now available, including a new sport loop and leather strap.
Next, we'll be exploring the new features that come with the Series 5, including the always-on display. This feature allows you to see the time and other important information without having to raise your wrist or tap the screen. We'll also be looking at the improved health and fitness tracking capabilities, which now include menstrual cycle tracking, noise monitoring, and an updated workout app.
Finally, we'll be discussing the overall performance of the Series 5, including its battery life and speed. With a new S5 chip and updated operating system, the watch runs smoothly and efficiently, even when using multiple apps or features.
Overall, the Apple Watch Series 5 in 2023 is an impressive device that combines form and function in a way that only Apple can. Whether you're looking for a sleek and stylish accessory or a powerful fitness tracker, the Series 5 has something to offer. Tune in to our review to learn more!

I’m still using my Series 5 daily. Bought it December 2019, still has 84 percent battery health.
I just got the 5 series this month and absolutely loving it. I think it's the most worth it buy for anybody who is try to find the middle point where the Apple Watch is not outdated meanwhile not the latest one as well 😅
I agree!
Thanks for sharing, very helpful x
Thanks for watching Peter!
Pro tip: if you look at your watch to check the time, regardless of how casual you think you’re being, people notice. Also, if you are having a conversation with someone and feel the need to check the time, you might be jamming too much into your day. Ask any older person and they will tell you that they wished they had slowed down and enjoyed the moments more rather than rushing through life.
Very good video, very unique view.❤
Awesome review. Nice sharing my friend.
Thanks for watching!
I just got my series 5 in the mail yesterday and I must say using it the past day I absolutely love it
It’s incredible it’s held up so well over the years! Glad you enjoy yours!
Series 4 44 mm here with my iPhone 13 and I really like the look of the 5 and always on display
Thanks for this review. It helped me in making a choice.
Glad I could help! And thanks for watching!
Nice video. I’ve upgraded from Apple Watch 3 , my first Apple Watch , to an Apple Watch 5 stainless steel . Haven’t got it yet as I’m out of the country but looking forward to trying out the improvements including cellular 😊
Congrats! You’ll notice the performance upgrades and larger screen size for sure including the new always on display option for this Gen. In your case too, the cellular will be a much welcomed improvement too I’m sure!
Got my series 5 with the link band when the series 7 was brand new. It’s been great so far and I’m glad we’re getting the watchOS 10 update
WatchOS 10 will be great on the series 5!
@@ardentlytechJust subbed to your channel. Keep putting out good content! We’ve got a a lot of the same tech lol. I’m using the iPhone 13 Mini, have a 2012 MacBook Pro, and Watch Series 5. But for earbuds I’m using the Beats Studio buds.
Jftr: current budget Xiaomi SW last for 20 days and are even with always on display good for way more than 10 with contestantly checking your VF.
Thanks for this. Was wondering if this one was slow or outdated and was concerned on getting it. I Wanted to go the 7 but just don’t want to spend a lot atm. Mainly will be used for fitness and the occasional smart features like notifications and such.
Awesome glad I could help! Yeah the 5 would be perfect for your needs and should last you awhile. 6 & 7 would of course be great too if you can find a solid deal but I don’t find myself needing to upgrade anytime soon
bruh get the 7 it’s going to last you for years
I love my Apple Watch 5
Just got it yesterday for very good deal , looking foward to use it 2 years ahead , do you think it will get updates from apple ?
Yeah I think so!
Great video
Very helpful
Thank you for watching! Really appreciate the support Soham!
I want to buy the series 5 apple watch but I'm a little nervous to buy it refurbished. I found one for a good price and the reviews are good. Any tips for refurbished tech items?
Yes absolutely! We did a video on what to watch out for when you’re buying refurbished: Buying a Used Apple Watch? Watch This FIRST So You Don't Get SCAMMED! kzhead.info/sun/dcx9iZmco4d4lJs/bejne.html
I have had the series 5 Apple Watch Center came out and I love it still to this day 💕💕💕💕
Series 5 is so good! I agree, it’s a great value all these years later
I am going to buy a apple watch series 5 44m and black color with charger (not original) and with GPS and cellular and 85% battery health and use for it an iPhone 13 pro max I also have an iPad air 4 but the watch costs 130$ do you think it is worth it?
Because it’s the cellular model, I’d say that’s a fair price!
@@ardentlytech thank you so much
I just got the 5 an it’s still amazed me I love it an I have the 15 plus
Nice!! Still using mine and I love it!
I have a series 3 and I hate that I have to make it obvious just to check the time . I’m getting a series 5 and I like thwt it had more features than the 3
I feel you! The always on display makes that casual glance at the time so much easier and less awkward in front of people
I’m using a series 5 daily, battery health still at 85%
Nice! Mine’s still going strong too 💪🏽
you can flip the phone round so the crown faces you- less pocket issues
Very true! I’m just so used to it this way but I might have to switch to that soon
I’ve been using my aw5 since 2020 never used the always on display, kills the poor aw battery even faster. Apple’s battery poor design is moving me away from Apple Watch. I’m eager in getting a real anti battery anxiety Garmin Watch
I can see the 1 day battery life being a killer for certain people. I’ve heard great things about the Garmin! My father-in-law has one and he loves it!
I went from the Fitbit to the Apple Watch, and the main reason was because the Fitbit just suck compared to the Apple Watch. Couldn’t reply to text, couldn’t do phone calls, I don’t remember if I could do music but I don’t believe so. And apps were very very limited.
Charise, totally feel you! I went to Fitbit for a few years when my Apple Watch broke and it did what I wanted to do and I got used to it. But I recently switched back and got a used Apple Watch and wow I forgot what I was missing out on. I’m working on a video about it that will be out in the next month or two. -Adrienne
still a good idea in 2024? or should i look at something for recent?
Yeah still good for 2024! I actually just posted a mini update in this video here: kzhead.info/sun/Z7CofbaybnuerYU/bejne.htmlsi=kmDzBy_0hIJNUvuW But in short, it’s still great and hardly any hiccups.
Your actually wrong the Apple Watch just turned 4 years old the times you posted it was 3 years old
But he said in the beginning of the video 4 years
@@Bosskelley I know that’s why I commented that
The screen looks nicked up and horrible.
That’s because it is, I bought it used. I’m not reviewing how mine cosmetically looks - I’m reviewing the features and functionality of the watch for people considering getting one for themselves in 2023.
That watch looks pretty scratched, I wonder if I could hurt my finger on that.
It definitely is scratched by the previous owner (I bought this used) but they’re very superficial and not deep at all. I could probably buff out most if not all the scratches, I just haven’t gotten around to it yet.
Greetings from rainy Ireland. Brilliant video lad, thank you. You helped me make my mind up on purchasing a grade A series 5. I got it for only £125 (free shipping). GPS + cellular. I cannot wait to get it. You have earned yourself a subscriber. Sláinte 🍻
Oh yeah, I am upgrading from a Fitbit and this is going to be my first Apple watch.
Cheers! That’s awesome! Glad you found a great deal and thank you for subscribing!!
