I’m sure many of you out there have been missing your regular fitness regimen.

I hear you. It’s tough to have to change a routine that you worked so hard to cultivate.

There are many workout apps and yoga apps and other things to help you through the lockdown, and we’ve been hearing about the merits of the Apple Watch Series 5 for a while.

So, can it live up to the hype?

Apple Watch Series 5 has a display that’s always on, showing the time and important information – so no need to raise your wrist. It helps you navigate with a built-in compass and enables emergency calling. The watch also tracks your workouts and activity, so you can add up all those steps around the house.

While some of these features are similar to those of the Series 4 and Series 3, the Series 5 kicks things up a notch with a more refined interface and 32 GB storage, up from 16 GB from previous models.

It also comes in a range of designs and colours so there’s something for everyone.

If you are in the market, maybe now is the time to treat yourself to the new Apple Watch Series 5. It’s the best investment that you can make in yourself and keeping track of your health and fitness goals will help you to stay focused.

Lockdown is making it difficult to order non-essential goods online at the moment. Still, there’s no harm in doing your homework and a bit of window shopping in the meantime.

Of course, the only place to go for a new Apple Watch is Digicape, South Africa’s largest independent Apple retailer, but you’ll have to wait until the 21 days are up before they can deliver.

If you have one of the older Apple Watches lying around and you want to upgrade to the latest tech, Digicape will also accept up to five of your old devices as a trade-in against the purchase of any new product.

So bring in your old iPhones, iPads, Macs, Apple Watches, or Apple TVs, and you could save thousands of bucks.

You and your health deserve the very best, and you can’t do much better than the Apple Watch Series 5.
