Here’s where you can buy the brand-new Apple Watch Series 5 right now

The Apple Watch Series 5 is now available online and in-store

While the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro may have stolen the show, Apple also released a new Apple Watch at its annual September event — the Apple Watch Series 5. The new device may not be a radical redesign like the Apple Watch Series 4 before it, but it still has a ton to offer and is the Apple Watch to buy if you’re in the market for a new smartwatch.

Of course, you might be wondering where you can get the Apple Watch Series 5 — which is exactly why we’ve written this guide. Here’s everything you need to know about pricing and availability of the Apple Watch Series 5.

Unlocked

The Apple Watch Series 5 is available from Apple, and now that pre-orders are over you can get it for yourself online and in-store. The Apple Watch Series 5 GPS model starts at $400, while the Apple Watch Series 5 cellular comes at $500. That said, if you want to get the Apple Watch  Series 5 in titanium or ceramic, you’ll pay a little more — the titanium model starts at $800, while the ceramic model starts at $1,300. Prices vary depending on whether or not you want cellular connectivity, which allows you to use your device essentially like a smartphone.

You can get the Apple Watch for yourself straight from the Apple website.

Carriers

As with previous iterations of the Apple Watch, can also get the Apple Watch Series 5 from your carrier. Carrier pricing for the device is available below.

AT&T

AT&T is carrying the Apple Watch Series 5, and now that pre-orders are over, the device is fully available. On AT&T, the Apple Watch Series 5 starts at $500, or $16.67 per month for 30 months, for the entry-level 40mm cellular model, or $17.67 per month for the 44mm model.

Sprint

Sprint is carrying the Apple Watch Series 5, and pre-orders for the device on the carrier are now over. On Sprint, the Apple Watch Series 5 starts at $500 or $20.84 per month for 24 months, though Sprint is currently running a promotion that allows customers to get 50% off those monthly payments — so you could get the device for as little as $10.42 per month.

T-Mobile

T-Mobile is offering the Apple Watch Series 5, and pre-orders are now over, so full sales have begun. Pricing for the Apple Watch Series 5 on T-Mobile starts at $500, or $20.84 per month for 24 months for the 40mm model, or $530 or $22.09 per month for 24 months for the 44mm model.

Not only that but for a limited time, if you get a new Apple Watch through Verizon, you can get a second one for half price.

U.S. Cellular

U.S. Cellular announced that it is carrying the Apple Watch Series 5. The company has yet to announce pricing, and it doesn’t seem as though pricing is available from the website just yet.

Xfinity Mobile

Xfinity Mobile is carrying the Apple Watch Series 5 alongside the new iPhone models. The carrier didn’t offer pre-orders, but now that pre-orders are over, the device is available from the Xfinity Mobile website.

If you use these Apple Watch faces, you won’t like watchOS 11

Recently, many people have been updating their existing Apple Watches to watchOS 11. Meanwhile, others have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of their new Apple Watch Series 10 or black Apple Watch Ultra 2 models, which come with watchOS 11 preinstalled. While this update adds many great features, it also removes some options.

Four watch faces have been removed from watchOS 11: the Chronograph, Explorer, Numerals, and Siri faces. Although it makes sense that Siri’s face has been removed because the new Smart Stack essentially replaces it, eliminating the others is indeed puzzling.

Sleep apnea detection is now available for these two Apple Watches

Last week, during the "It's Glowtime" event, Apple announced that sleep apnea tracking would arrive on the Apple Watch as soon as it received Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval. That approval has now arrived, and as such, the sleep apnea feature is rolling out to the Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 today as part of the watchOS 11 update. Meanwhile, the Apple Watch Series 10 will have the feature when it launches this Friday.

Apple's sleep apnea feature works by using the new Breathing Disturbances metric. It takes advantage of the accelerometer in your Apple Watch to track how often you're moving around during the night. These movements can indicate an interruption in sleep, and the count is analyzed every 30 days. The Watch will notify users if consistent signs of moderate to severe sleep apnea are shown.

The Apple Watch Series 10 is missing a critical feature
The Apple Watch Series 10.

Apple’s latest smartwatch has attracted a lot of attention for its sleek design revision and the addition of a sleep apnea detection system. Yet, as the company inches closer to putting the Apple Watch Series 10 on the shelf, the smartwatch will be missing a crucial feature: blood oxygen tracking.

Also known as SpO2 level analysis, the feature was first introduced about half a decade ago and has been a mainstay on Apple smartwatches ever since. However, earlier this year, Apple was ordered to stop the sale of Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 smartwatches in the U.S. You can still buy the watches, but they're sold without the blood oxygen tracking app. That ban has now engulfed the Apple Watch Series 10 as well.
