Overview

The Apple Watch Series 5 includes an always-on display with energy saving LTPO OLED screen and low-power screen driver capable of refresh rates as low as once per second.

[2] Additional new features include International Emergency Calling enabling emergency calls in over 150 countries, a more power-efficient S5 processor, improved ambient light sensor, doubling of storage to 32 GB, and the addition of a magnetometer, enabling a compass function. It also brought back the "Edition" tier, with a ceramic model absent from the previous generation, and a new titanium model which comes in two colors: natural and Space Black.[3]
