The Apple Watch Series 5 models look nearly identical to the Apple Watch Series 4 that they replaced, but they have a newer processor, at least twice the storage capacity, an "Always-On" Retina Display, a compass, and an International Emergency Calling feature.
This particular model, the Apple Watch Series 5 (Aluminum, GPS, 44 mm) does not have wireless cellular capability, but higher-end models in the series also are capable of being connected to the Internet without a "tethered" iPhone. This "GPS" model is required to be connected to an iPhone 6s or later running iOS 13 or later.
All Apple Watch Series 5 devices are controlled with a Digital Crown with haptic feedback and a Force Touch capable display. This particular Apple Watch Series 5, the GPS model in the 44 mm size, features a 368x448 LTPO OLED screen with Ion-X glass packed in an aluminum case with a ceramic and sapphire crystal back that connects to the charger.
Battery life is an Apple estimated "up to 18 hours" overall, but more specifically "up to 1.5 hours" of talk time connected to an iPhone, "up to 10 hours" of audio playback from Apple Watch storage, "up to 10 hours" working out indoors and "up to 6 hours" working out outdoors with GPS.
There were three different aluminum options sold via Apple Authorized Resellers -- Space Gray with a Black Sport Band, Silver with a White Sport Band, and Gold with a Pink Sand Sport Band. Apple highlights six aluminum options via direct sales -- Space Gray with a yellow "Lemon Cream" Sport Band (pictured, left), Silver with an orange "Clementine" Sport Band, Gold with a dark pink "Pomegranate" Sport Loop, Gold with a beige "Pink Sand" Sport Band, Silver with a "Khaki" Sport Loop (pictured, right), and Space Gray with a dark "Midnight Blue" Sport Loop.
