Apple Unveils New Features of Apple Watch Series 5

During its annual conference held on Tuesday, Apple announced a number of new general features of Apple Watch Series 5.

These features included an Always On Display, which means you'll always be able to see the watch face without having to raise your wrist or tap the display. Watch faces have been optimised for the new feature and Apple says battery life won't be affected.

The new Apple Watch also added a built-in compass, offering users elevation and incline data.

There is also a new safety feature on board in the form of international emergency calling through pressing and holding the side button on their  Watch and the Watch will dial emergency services.

The Series 5 Watch offered the same features as Series 4, including waterproofing, an electrical heart sensor built into the Digital Crown and all the activity and workout features the older model has.
