what's up you guys it's Adrienne Finch welcome back to my channel today I feel
like I'm going right back to my roots my old tech guru Lee roots and I am gonna
show you guys an unboxing of my Apple watch series 5
so let's make something clear I am absolutely obsessed with the Apple watch
I was always so skeptical at first I felt like Apple makes all these products
that you kind of don't have a purpose for but you buy them anyway because
you're sucked into the marketing and the beauty of the product and then you get
it and you don't end up using it I always thought a watch would be like
that and I also thought it would make me more addicted to my devices but it
actually is done the opposite but that's another story
I'm absolutely freaking obsessed with Apple watch right now I have these
series four it's the 44 millimeter face so the bigger face it's in rose gold and
I have the pink sport band on it I got this watch in June of this year so just
a little over six months ago and I absolutely fell in love it has
completely changed my life I'm obsessed with it I'm actually gonna
make a whole video about why and how the Apple watch changed my life completely
I'm going to talk about the apps that I have on it how to utilize it best for
productivity for fitness and basically just why I believe that this thing can
absolutely transform your life and your habits in your productivity so if you
guys don't wanna miss that video subscribe it down below and click on
that valve to be notified when I upload but Adrienne why on earth do you have a
series 5 Apple watch when you just got the series for like 6 months ago
great question so actually the gym that I regularly go to Basecamp Fitness just
got a deal with Apple where for all their Unlimited members if you work out
at least eight times a month and you commit to a 12-month membership you get
a free watch and I was already doing that so literally I this fell in my lap
so here we are so today I'm gonna unbox this Apple watch Series five I'm going
to show you the watch and I'm going to talk about the greatest differences in
features between my Series four and my Series five if you didn't know they did
discontinue the series four but you can purchase it on Amazon or on Amazon I'll
leave a link down below but Apple does still sell the series three so I'm
really just gonna mention the best features both pros and cons of the Apple
watch Series five and hopefully you guys get a feel for whether you think it's
worth purchasing or not there really aren't that many changes I'll tell you
right now but there is one pretty important monumental change with this
one so let's just get right into it I'm gonna unbox it let's go okay for ASMR
sake I'm just gonna do a low okay that made way less noise than I thought
I don't find that that satisfying all right so as per usual
we got the cute little box we're just gonna open it right on up whoa I mean
come on though I'm like a sucker for packaging this is just the outer box
that's cool all right when you open up the box I
have the actual watch box and then I have the band box so as you can see on
my current launch I have the pink sport band I actually really wanted the Nike
sport band for this one but the rose gold face didn't come with the Nike
sport band in black so I just got the regular sport band in black I figure I
can sometimes switch this out there are certain outfits that I just wish I had a
more like sophisticated looking like darker colored band so that's why I got
this so first we're just gonna open up the actual watch it's taped closed you
really make this difficult oh I am just a sucker for their
packaging though we have designed in California there's no see the
instructions maybe some stickers and then right here we have the actual watch
it in this little cool the actual watch is right here in this little fuzzy pouch
which I think is the cutest little fuzzy badge and then the charger right here
and the block honestly I can always do with more Chargers so I'm pretty happy
about that we're just gonna pull this right out look at the cute little case I
don't even get it out oh it's so new and shiny oh my gosh it's so shiny I'm like
scared to get it dirty or scratched you can tell right off the bat this is my
series 4 and this is the series 5 they pretty much look identical the only
difference right off the bat visually is that this little turning knob situation
is a different color one is darker this is the series 5 darker this wand rose
gold the buttons are still there the face looks the same pretty sure they're
the exact same width to so I'm gonna go ahead and open
and so I can put it on the watch oh this box gives me a little pull tab thank you
very much so this is the space black stainless steel pin watch band and this
is interesting they actually always give you two size options which I guess makes
sense so I choose the small / medium size option we're just gonna take this
right out I love how soft they are so this is how it looks with the black band
on it it looks pretty good so here's how they look side-by-side the black band
versus the pink band I obviously really love this color combo but I think having
the black combo will also be really cool alright you guys so I have officially
put on and paired at my brand new Apple watch here's what it looks like whoo
pretty cool huh so you're probably wondering what are
the new features on the series 5 they aren't on the series 4 I'm gonna tell
you to be honest there really are not that many new features like at all I'm
pretty sure that the series 5 has just completely replaced the series 4 because
they're so similar there are a couple new features in terms of some of the
stainless steel and the brush titanium look that you can get there are also
some new bands and all that jazz a couple new watch faces but the biggest
difference the biggest noticeable difference between the series 4 and 3
and the series 5 is this always-on display so it's new technology for the
always-on display is called LTP Oh low temperature poly-silicon oxide basically
all that means is that there's a specific controller and specific
hardware in the series 5 watch that allows it to have this always-on display
meaning that with a software update you cannot have this function on the series
3 or series 4 so this is unique to the series 5 and that is really the only
feature that sets it apart so with the series 4 watch the watch that I did have
in order to get the screen to light up from a black screen you had to kind of
do the gesture of like looking at your watch you actually had to like tilt it
towards your face you had to put your arm up very aggressively and actually go
like this and then it would turn on right once it was on you could either
cover the face to make it go black or you could just
simply put your arm down or away from you and after a couple seconds it would
go back to black I actually didn't mind this because for the most part I felt
like I don't want my watch to be bright and like showing everything when I'm
just walking around and it's down by my side but there are some advantages to
this that I didn't really think of so what are the benefits to this always-on
feature well as I mentioned with it always-on you don't have to do this
really obvious gesture to like get your watch to turn on so a benefit with that
could be that sometimes you don't want to do that gesture maybe you're in a
meeting and you don't really want to be obvious and go like this maybe you just
want to like low-key glance maybe you're typing and you just want to look maybe
you're in bed and your arm is in a weird position and you don't want to like go
like this to have to see the time or you don't want to have to tap the screen
maybe it's rude to do that and it's kind of annoying right and also sometimes
mind just wouldn't work like I would go like this a million times and it
wouldn't turn so I would just click it so one benefit is that with the
always-on display you don't have to do that it's always on you can check the
time subtly you can do anything like that and you don't have to be like oh
I'm good now so that part's pretty cool and I think a lot of people really like
that aspect of it however there are some major cons with this always-on display
number one being the battery life so with an always-on display as you can
imagine the battery life is going to decrease significantly now I just unbox
this so I have not personally tested it out but I did watch a couple people's
videos of them testing the battery life and they did say that usually by the end
of a typical day they may still have 60 or 50 percent battery on the watch and
with the always-on display it will actually be like twenty to thirty
percent some even said that if they went on outdoor runs and use GPS and do all
these things they could even have a completely dead watch by the end of the
day that to me is no bueno I do not like that now Apple is claiming that their
way of combating the bad battery life for the Apple watch Series 5 is that
basically when the always-on display is off aka when your hand is down or you're
not looking at it the refresh rate goes from 60 Hertz to like one hurt one hurts
I don't know so you can still see the time and all of that but your watch is
not doing all this work in the background and therefore the battery
life is being saved again according to the test that a lot of people did it
really didn't make that much of a difference now
the good news is that you can turn off this always-on display
and according to people's tests again like when they did turn off the
always-on display their battery life significantly improved by noon they
would still be at about 90% so that's just a matter of preference whether you
want the always-on display or whether you don't but honestly it's kind of like
what's the point in getting the series 5 if you're not going to use the always-on
display you could easily get a series 4 or a series 3 4 away a cheaper price and
it has pretty much the exact same functionality as the series 5 that's
kind of my take on it personally that's where I'm kind of struggling with is
that I would want the always-on display because I do like the part where you
don't have to go like this but I like to wear my watch to bed because I use it as
an alarm clock the vibrating on my wrist really helps me wake up but I also work
out and do things during the day that I want to track so I wouldn't want to have
to be charging it all the time of course the good news with the watch is that it
charges extremely quickly it'll have a full charge in like I don't know 30
minutes something very very very quick so you guys is the Apple watch series 5
worth it here's the thing again I am in love with Apple watch I'm gonna make an
entire video about why you should totally get an Apple watch but I will
say personally that I do not think the series 5 is worth it unless they
drastically improve battery life which they probably will over time or unless
some crazy new features besides just the always-on display come out I do not
think the series 5 is worth it I think you could easily get the series 3 or
series 4 from Amazon I'll leave some links down below the series 4 is
discontinued from Apple so you can only get it on sites like Amazon or
third-party retailers the series 3 goes for minimum $1.99 so that is a huge huge
price cut from one like this and it still works perfectly well the series 4
ranges in price but is definitely hundreds of dollars less than the series
5 so I don't think it's not worth it but leave me a comment down below and let me
know what you guys think since I did get this watch for free I am gonna use it
and I am gonna test it out and really see what I think so maybe I'll come back
and do a little update on whether I really think it's worth it or if there's
anything else that's life-changing about it but overall right now I'm thinking
don't do it that's it for this video thank you so much for watching I hope
that you enjoyed it be sure to subscribe and leave me a comment letting me know
what you think of the series 5 if you have
if you don't and I'll see you guys in my next video bye
