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.

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]
