SMARTWATCHES
1 Apple Watch Series 5
from £399 / stuff.tv/WatchS5
There’s no great secret to Apple’s continuing smartwatch domination: it’s all down to a seamless relationship between hardware and software, plus impressive health features that other makers still haven’t been able to match. But while the Series 5 isn’t as significant an upgrade as the previous model, it does have one key addition: an always-on display. Also new is a compass, while the watchOS 6 update adds a host of tricks that make the Watch even smarter than it was already.
