Apple Watch Series 5 Edition Titanium Review

Hi everyone,

I’ve been using the series 5 Edition titanium watch for the past week or so since it was released and it’s a pretty decent watch but I wanted to go over why you might want to pick one up if you don’t have a series 4 already and why you may want to pass on this one if you already have a series 4 either way it’s a good watch but let’s go ahead and talk about what’s different about it and whether or not you should buy one now as you can see if I move my wrists slowly the display stays on and this is its always-on state and the actual watch face that I use on my series 4 as well and you’ll see in this state there is no second hand and it just stays on but as soon as.

I move my wrist quickly it comes to the always-on or the brighter mode where the second hand appears and then we have our normal watch complications and they’re all active but if I move my wrist back it dims move it slowly it stays on and this is something that if you love always-on displays and the idea of this this Apple watch is for you but if you don’t care about the always-on display you may not want to get one of these if you have a series 4 becomes because it comes at a cost now let’s take a closer look now the always-on display is nice as you can see it here it’s kind of goes into this ambient mode where the complications such as decibels here is turned off.

Apple Watch Series 5 Edition Titanium Review

If I tap the display it comes on now when I say this comes at a cost it does have a new chipset in it to help with this always on display but it’s not really faster so you’re not gaining much there if we go out and maybe go into an app like the weather it will take a moment to load and it loads like you would expect but if we go back home it’s not really performing any differently than a series for watch but again this comes at a cost would be always on display and what I mean by that is this was taken off of the charger at 9:00 a.m. and were down to 55 percent at about 6:35 p.m.

So it’s not amazing like a series 4 it’s better than I thought it would be and I did do a long-term test the other day where the battery life went from at 8 a.m. I took it off the charger and then I put it back on the charger at 4 a.m. the following morning and I had 4% left so it’s not a horrible battery life and you’ll see you still had a little bit of stutter from time to time it’s not horrible battery life but if this always-on display is something you don’t care about you may want to stick with a series 4 or even get a series 3 because the series 4 I can get through over 2 days with and this battery life when testing I was not using it for working out I wasn’t playing music off it or anything this is just using it as a watch and nothing else.

Except for the decibel meter when its turned on so it is using a little bit but it’s exactly how I would use it on my series for watch now as far as the materials are concerned we do have new materials this year like this titanium that we have here and the titanium looks great but the problem is if you want to stand out at all which many people don’t but if you do it’s hard to differentiate between this and aluminum which is much cheaper so if your someone that’s really caring about showing the latest edition watch you may want to opt for the ceramic version if that’s something.

You care about otherwise go for the stainless steel if you want a more premium this more premium material as well as a display such as sapphire that’s much more durable so its somewhere between glass and sapphire but it doesn’t really scratch I have zero scratches on my series for now the other new feature with this watch is the compass so if we go into our apps here and I have them in this view and if you want to switch between this view and the other view just force press 3d press and you can go to the grid view or you can go back to the list view and then we can go into the compass and you’ll see this cone here and as I turn this that cone shrinks and that’s called the confidence cone.

It has it gets narrower it means its more confident that its pointing north now a compass is nice but it’s also on the phone so if you don’t care about the compass you don’t care about an always-on display again you may want to stick with an older watch or you could go with this you’ll be happy with it of course but it’s not anything an amazing compared to the last generation especially if you don’t care about that display like I said now you can turn it off if you want to get the ceramic version and save as most as much power as possible you’ll see always-on is an option you can just turn that off and it goes back to what it was before if we go home here.

We can turn it off by putting our hand on it and now it’s always off we’ve lightened it back up and I like the display back up and were back so again go into settings you can turn that display off but then you defeat the purpose of this particular watch and its features so I think it’s a great watch overall don’t get me wrong I think it’s great if you don’t have an Apple watch you’ll be very happy with it but I would say if you don’t care about the materials go for the aluminum if you want something more durable get the steel and if you want to stand out a little bit get to ceramic otherwise this is great also because it has a compass in it if you have a metallic band that has any magnetic property properties such as steel.

For example it can affect the compass so you want to go with either a cloth band or something that’s a non-magnetic metal maybe aluminum for example or titanium so these metals will work fine but if you had steel stay away from that now the final thing with the series 5 Apple watch if you do have an Edition model like this one if we scroll over here you’ll see that we have this color this is custom to the titanium version with the California watch face so you can choose this color I don’t particularly like the color but its available if you have the Edition model and its only for the Edition model and then you get all the other benefits of watch OS 6 as well the build of this is incredible and all of your watch bands still fit from previous generations so if you are upgrading.

You’ll be able to use your previous watch bands as well that’s it for the series 5 Apple watch let me know what you think about it in the comments below I really do like it quite a lot but I don’t think a whole lot of people can differentiate between titanium and aluminum so it may look like you’re going to step backwards if you’re coming from stainless steel or maybe even ceramic with the previous generation but let me know your thoughts about it whether you picked one up or whether or not you think the series 5 is worth it if you’re going to skip this one altogether.

Apple Keyboard Evolution 1983-2015

I don’t have a Lisa Keyboard, and they’re quite rare and expensive. But here’s what it looked like, it was quite large and clunky. Although not really any wider than a modern Apple keyboard . So, this is the original Macintosh keyboard. It’s kind of tall, and notice that it has no arrow keys, no function keys and no number pad. Apparently, Steve Jobs believed that everybody would use the mouse for everything, except typing. It uses an RJ-11 type connector, similar to a phone cord. The mouse actually had its own separate connector, and did not connect to the keyboard at all. This is about as basic as it gets. I can plug my telephone into it, for some reason. So, one thing I noticed about this is that there are no indicators on where to put your fingers. I’ve never heard a keyboard echo before. It’s not real springy or anything. It does have… …metallic kind of noise to it. But, DAVID: This is the Apple Desktop Bus keyboard. As the name suggests, this was the first keyboard to use the new

The AdLib Gold Experience

Greetings folks, and today on LGR I am proud to present the fabled AdLib Gold 1000 Stereo Sound Adapter. An IBM PC-compatible sound card which, after multiple delays, launched at a suggested price of $299 in the US sometime in late 1992. More or less, its release is a bit complicated but we’ll get to that. For now lemme just go ahead and say how much I’m freak in’ out with excitement recording this footage. Cuz dude, seeing an AdLib Gold in person, still in the box, unused? Among retro PC enthusiasts, that’s like finding a golden unicorn that craps diamonds, it’s just not a thing. Yet here it is, looking’ spiffy! And it’s all thanks to Trixter, aka Jim Leonard of The Old-school PC, Check out his YouTube channel if you’re into this kind of thing too, the man’s a fountain of knowledge and some of the items in his collection are literally one of a kind. Not the least of which being this pristine AdLib Gold 1000, a card that I’ve been wondering about ever since I was eight years old lookin

IBM 8516 Touchscreen CRT Monitor

Greetings and welcome to LGR Oddware where were taking a look at hardware and software that is odd, forgotten, and obsolete! And today it is the IBM 8516 CRT touchscreen from the beginning of the 1990s. And yeah you can touch and draw and do all kinds of things that you would normally do with a mouse or light pen or whatever else -- just with your fingers! And so let’s see what this thing is and what it can do. All right so this is the IBM PS/2 Model 8516 13-inch CRT touchscreen monitor first introduced in June of 1991 for a suggested retail price of $1695 US dollars, holy crap. That would be almost $3,100 at the time of this recording, not a cheap price for a 13-inch VGA monitor back then. It was built by IBM to be compatible with PCs running DOS, Windows 3 -- and IBM OS/2 of course, because they were still pushing it rather hard when this came out. And as advanced and awesome as it was for its time it was not the first of its kind as far as touchscreen CRTs, not by a long shot. For

The best gaming laptop for MS-DOS games

The other day, I used to be reading this old Computes Gazette magazine from 1983. and that I saw this card you'll send off for more information. happen if I filled it out and sent it off? Well, stick around till the top and I'll show you the result. Most of the time, stepping into Retro Gaming are often quite challenge. Even the old Atari 2600 her, for instance, it are often very challenging to seek out a contemporary TV or monitor that you simply. On the brilliant side, the games are pretty easy to affect. All you've got to try to to is locate them online, or thrift shop, or whatever and you purchase the sport, and you recognize, But, things get even harder once you start watching old computers. For instance, the Commodore 64 uses a disk format that's essentially foreign today. It's no means to attach to the web, and albeit you've got a pile of blank disks, getting the games copied over to them from the web could be a nightmare. Now, if you fast forward just a

Strangest Computer Designs of the '80s

OMG Mr. LGR!!! You made my day showing the Seiko computer watch series. I collect these things and Have almost the entire lineup up including the weird UC-2200. The only one I'm missing is the "wrist mac" which was essentially a Seiko RC4400 but marketed and sold for Apple. It could be considered the first apple watch! That design for the Elwro-800 actually seems pretty good and I wish I had it for the C64 back in the day. That wire holder could have been used for holding a computer magazine with a user made program which they always had in the magazines back in the day. Even now it would be good for data input from a written copy, or even writers who like to get their pre-writing done on paper. They were the machines we were taught Turing language on -- and compiling even a tiny Turing program on them was unbelievably slow. I really liked the GUI on them though, but we never really used the GUI much; all the programming we did was in a text file run through a compiler

The Advantech I.Q. Unlimited with BASIC and a Z80 CPU.

Hello, and welcome back to the 8-Bit Guy. In this episode, I want to show you this bizarre little computer known as the IQ Unlimited by Advantech. Now, you might be wondering “What is this company Advantech?” Well, if you turn the computer over you’ll see it was actually produced by Video Technology Electronics, otherwise known as V-Tech.” Yes, that’s the same V-Tech that has produced tons of cordless telephones, kids learning computers, baby monitors, and a variety of other things. They are also the ones that built the Laser 128, which was an Apple II clone, along with the matching Laser XT which was a PC clone. They also produced the laser line of portable computers, and even a series of proprietary desktop computers that carried the laser brand name. So, needless to say V-Tech is no stranger to making computers. But, I think this may be the strangest one they ever made. The front of the box claims it to be complete, powerful, simple, and affordable. They are also those that built th

Fast roaming OpenWrt Wi-Fi Access points

Before we start let me do a test. I have my phone here which measures my Wi-Fi speed and another phone which I use as a camera in the other hand. I start on the 2nd floor where I have an access point. As you can see speed is quite OK. It won’t go much higher because I capped it. I’ll explain in a second. Let me start moving towards the staircase to the 1st floor. As I do that you can see that the speed goes down while I walk down the stairs until it starts moving back up because I picked up the signal from the 2nd access point here on the first floor. Let me keep moving down to the basement. It’s all concrete here so Wi-Fi gets weakened a lot. But it doesn’t take long until I get closer to the 3rd access point here in the basement and speed picks up. Walking back upstairs - same scenario. How do I do that so seamlessly without interruption of signal ? Is it a Mesh ? Is it magic ? Stay tuned. So many people promote Wi-Fi mesh these days. And if you observe this the

Will Kill Your Computer

Hey guys, this is Austin, and this is the USB Killer. Now, it might not look like much, however this will straight up kill your computer. So, this is a device that’s used to test hardware, so while it looks like an ordinary USB device, instead, there’s a series of capacitors inside. So, if you plug it into a computer, it will charge those capacitors up, and once they’re full it turns around and releases all of that power at 240 volts straight back into the computer, in theory killing it. It doesn’t take much to be able to pop this thing open. Now, before we proceed: Do not try this at home. Seriously. Not only is it very possible for this thing to kill electronics, but it’s also. And by being careful, I mean don’t try this at home. We have an Asus Chrome book. Now, USB Killer claims that this is going to work on around 95 percent of computers, and the reason for that is that while some computers have properly capped USB ports, most have completely unprotected ports, which means that i
