The original Apple Watch, the Series 1, 2 and 4 are all discontinued, but this is a chance to get them for the cheap, especially from sellers looking to clear their stock. Why would the company choose to retain the Series 3 and 5 while discontinuing the rest?

Apple's Series 4 smart watch felt like a major upgrade from previous models. Sadly, the Series 5 is basically just a firmware update. I appreciate the option to have an always-on watch face, but I expected more.

The latest Apple Watch added many new features including some that are geared towards women's health. It can also make emergency phone calls for you in other countries, which is great for those who travel a lot for work or pleasure.

I think it's because those two series of watches had the biggest changes from previous models. Well, Apple's Series 4 watch saw one of the biggest improvements, but the Series 5 has those two plus it's new.

It makes sense once we look at this point of view because there isn't a lot of variation of Series 5 from Series 4. No one should have difficulty finding any other model in the market, especially from resellers.

I like the larger screen on smartwatches. I agree that the last update is not as interesting for a larger audience. I definitely expected more from it. I would still go for the Series 3 if I am looking at the price.

I'm not planning to pick up this watch since I have the Series 4. It's not hard to find discontinued models, so just look around if that's the one you like best. Look for authorized resellers if you're worried about authenticity.

I also have the Series 4, so this will be a pass. The health-related features are worth noting, and the end-to-end user experience is excellent. There is not much difference of the Series 5 from the Series 4.
