I bought my first fitness tracker, a Fitbit, a few years ago because it was cheap- $100. It was so inaccurate, had horrible battery life, and I could not sleep with it on because it would get stuck on the sheets at night. After it failed, I bought a Garmin thinking it was better. I gave it 11 months then threw it away. It kept telling me I was doing 11 flights of stairs on my drive home after 3 weeks of use and my hand would fall asleep when it would jam on blankets in the middle of the night.
Then my SO bought a series 4. I told her it was a waste and they wouldn't like it or find a use for it. After a year they loved it and couldn't do without it. So I bought a series 5 on sale with my bonus check.
WHY DIDNT I DO THIS YEARS AGO!!!????? I love this thing. It took a whole to figure out how to use it, but that's expected for electronics. I get 24hrs out of a full charge with daily activities and also a 1hr GYM routine. It takes about 1hr or so to fully charge with Ipad charger and wireless charger. I can do my 2FA codes from my watch in a second without needing to whip out my phone and unlock it and open the app etc.. Siri is 10x better on the watch than my iPhone. It's comfortable to wear overnight and the sleep apps you can download are very nice and accurate. Now when I workout I can check my heart rate accurately and also add-in a more accurate calorie count than before. I just love this thing. I was well worth the $380. Just make sure you get a screen protector on it right away as the screen can scratch in an instant with daily tasks like bumping your car or reaching into a cabinet for a pan.

Apple Watch Series 5 is an amazing piece of tech
Now this isn't going to be an in depth review about all of its pro and cons as everything in this world has them. But I am going to be very clear, this is not something you buy for the "name".There are many things that apple makes, and various other companies that are overpriced due to its "name" for a lack of better words. This is not one of them, not even close. It doesn't even compare to other watches, it is out of the norm and has crazy improvements and features over previous versions and other competitors.This is the best smart watch you can buy at this price, and honestly at any price. It is the most high quality product from apple, and you can see it in the end product. It is a master craft of watches, it is just down right amazing.
