The new Apple Watch Series 5 will make viewing your watch much easier with the new Always-On Retina Display. No more turning your wrist to see the information on the watch face. The new built-in compass and updated Maps app allow you to see which way you are facing when navigating with the watch. The new Compass app will also provide information like heading, incline, latitude, longitude and current elevation. A great feature for hikers.
Apple Watch had made an impact on many of its wearers with all the health detection features, like ECG and irregular rhythm notification. So for added personal safety while travelling, cellular models of Apple Watch Series 5 can now complete international calls to emergency services, regardless of where the device was originally purchased or if the cellular plan has been activated. International emergency calling also works with fall detection, if enabled, to automatically place an emergency call if Apple Watch senses the user has taken a hard fall and remains motionless for about a minute.
