I’ve been wearing an Apple Watch series 1 for a few years now and spent a long time debating the purpose of an upgrade. I must say that I am not disappointed.
Some cool features Apple Watch 1 didn’t have:
1) waterproof for swimming with a water eject button
2) tracks flights of stairs climbed
3) EKG monitoring
4) Menustral cycle tracking (I know men, not for you unless you want to know when your lady will be off limits for a few days and when to bring home chocolates
5) Additional work out activities, such as lap swimming for the exercise ring
All and all, I think the Apple Watch 1 was great but Apple Watch 5 is most def a better quality watch with more features. 44mm screen is nice too. Nice big screen compared to my 38mm.
Good splurge purchase!!

Yes!
When I saw that my Series 2 Apple Watch wasn't going to be supported with updates anymore - I bit the bullet and upgraded to the 44mm Series 5. Feel a little guilty about not waiting for the Series 6 but justify it by saving $ vs. whatever the cost of the new one will be. Plus I got 3 solid years out of the Series 2 so expect the same with this one.Functionally, it feels very familiar - I was right at home using the watch as it more or less works the same as the Series 2.Where I'm really floored and glad I upgraded is the form factor. The screen is noticeably larger, while the body of the watch is noticeably sleeker. It looks and feels better on my wrist than my old Series 2. Photos shows the difference. The screen is very sharp and easier to read. I also like the always on display! Only hesitation is battery life. If it's an issue, or if I learn I can dramatically extend battery by turning it off, I will turn it off. The old "wrist turning" method of seeing the screen never really bothered me before so we'll see.The best smartwatch and a worthy upgrade to the Series 2. Can't wait to go for my first run with it tomorrow.
