The Series 5 looks like an S year for the watch, the always on display is really the only new feature I could see.

 

That, and compass functionality in terms of technical updates. Definitely an S year. 

geekiegeek: Always on without losing battery life is no small achievement.

Garmin already have this.

It's like a Pebble vs an Apple Watch  - one was always on, but the other was better to look at from a brightness/depth perspective. Horses for Courses.

Back to the idea of the Cellular model - I just want these to be available in NZ so I can go back to a Stainless Steel Apple Watch...don't like my Aluminium one as much as I liked my Steel...and I have a bunch of watch straps that go better with steel than AL

Did anyone else see that Noel Leemings were listing the 44mm 5 for $729 for a short while on there site or was i dreaming?

would you mind posting your source for this? - it is quite interesting and I wasn’t aware it had happened.

 

I did not think I would need a source so I dont have one :)

When I went to the site at 9:27 i added a

Just going to stick with my 4 series, always on i don't need would prefer to have this on my xs max.

I too would like to see the ecg option enabled.

Was a bit late in ordering and now looking at a multi week wait for the larger band size.

Sigh

Seriously considered this, but with ECG and LTE missing.. Feeling a bit short changed.

Next year should be interesting if this year was anything to go by. The S3 price is very decent. Hopefully the S4 replaces the S3 at half the price. That'd be a quick and easy upgrade!

Just placed my order NL dont know what the wait will be saying 21-23 is fine but wait and see actual. Oh anyone who didnt know already MYNL16W10 works on NL save $10! Come on! $10 bucks is $10 bucks!

Come on Spark, you all ready have eSIM working so support Apple Watch LTE already. Until this happens I won’t be budging from my series 4.
