Everything good about the Watch 6 is present on the Watch 5. Sure, the former has a better screen and is somewhat faster, but its 44mm LTE version costs $379.99, which is a princely sum for a watch.
The Watch 5 is new enough to have all the core features of watches released after it. You get a gorgeous 1.4-inch always-on screen with a touch-sensitive bezel. This is a cellular model, so you can use it to make and receive calls and send text messages.
You get a QWERTY keyboard big enough to type messages but if a Barbie-sized keyboard is not your thing, you can also dictate texts.
There are a ton of health and fitness features on board and they are the same ones found on the Watch 6. It can track your skin temperature, record ECG, calculate blood oxygen levels, conduct body composition analysis, and monitor sleep.
You can, of course, track a range of workouts, and if you ever forget to remind it to start workout tracking, it comes with an option called automatic workout detection.
The Watch 5 has never sold for this low before and we doubt the deal will last for long, so don’t play the waiting game if you need a reliable Android smartwatch.
