Please note that this A2094 Apple Watch Series 5 (GPS+Cellular, North America, 40 mm) model is compatible with LTE bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 12, 13, 17, 18, 19, 25, 26, 39, 40, 41, and 66 as well as UMTS 2100 MHz, 1900 MHz, 1700/2100 MHz, and 850 MHz. It is not compatible with LTE bands 8 or 20 or with UMTS 900 MHz. It is sold in the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Puerto Rico (which last time we checked was part of the US).
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.
All cellular-equipped Apple Watch Series 5 models, like this one, are capable of being connected to the Internet without a "tethered" iPhone, but it still requires an iPhone 6s or later running iOS 13 or later for most functionality.
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, a cellular-capable model in the 40 mm size, features a 324x394 LTPO OLED screen. Configurations with aluminum cases use "strengthened, lightweight Ion-X glass" and those with stainless steel cases use a "Sapphire crystal" covering over the display. All models use an "all 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 LTE, "up to 10 hours" of audio playback from Apple Watch storage, "up to 7 hours" streaming audio via LTE, "up to 10 hours" working out indoors, "up to 6 hours" working out outdoors with GPS, and "up to 5 hours" working out outdoors with GPS and LTE.
There were nine different options sold via Apple Authorized Resellers -- Space Gray aluminum with a Black Sport Band, Gold aluminum with a Pink Sand Sport Band, Silver aluminum with a White Sport Band, Space Black steel with a Black Sport Band, Gold steel with a Stone Sport Band, Silver steel with a White Sport Band, Space Black steel with a Black Milanese Loop, Gold steel with a Gold Milanese Loop, and Silver steel with a Silver Milanese Loop (pictured, right).
