How to upgrade to the Apple Watch Series 5

The Apple Watch Series 5 features some exciting and interesting new features, and you may think that it's time to exchange the old wrist system against the new one. Upgrading to the Apple Watch Series 5 is a fairly straightforward process, but we have some tips to make the transition as seamless as possible.

How to prepare your old Apple Watch for sale or exchange

Since most of your Apple Watch data is on your iPhone, preparing your watch for a potential buyer or family member is not complicated. However, you will want to make sure that you unassign it from your current phone and delete it properly from your iCloud account.

How to sell your Apple Watch

If you want to upgrade to a new Apple Watch Series 5, switch between aluminum and stainless steel, or if you no longer use your watch and want to find it in a new home, its sale may help you make money. Although there are not as many places to sell your old Apple Watch as your old iPhone, there are still a few sites to discover.

How to pre-order the Apple Watch Series 5

You can not enter an Apple Store at the moment and buy the new Apple Watch until next week, but you can pre-order the Series 5 right now! Although the latest models are in stock and available in stores on September 20th, there is no guarantee that your local retailer will have the exact model and style you want. That's why pre-ordering is the key!

How big of the Apple Watch Series 5 should you get?

Apple Watch Series 5 is available in two sizes: 40mm and 44mm. A few millimeters here or there might not seem like much, but at the size of the watch, it makes a huge difference. The new small watch now has a slightly larger screen than the old big watch, and the big watch has a bigger screen than ever. And yes, this concerns the aluminum, steel, Nike + and Hermes versions. All.

This could make the choice more complicated than ever. But do not worry, we've got you. Here's how to choose the perfect size for you!

Setting up your Apple Watch Series 5

The Apple Watch and the iPhone can be two separate hardware elements, but one can not exist without the other. When you buy a new Apple Watch, its start is only the first step. You must then associate it with an iPhone.

When it comes time to pair your Apple Watch Series 5 with your iPhone, you need to use the Apple Watch app for iOS.
