Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • I just updated my 5 after 4.5 years! Still works fine, battery all good. Sadly I’m hard on my stuff and the screen was heavily scratched to such a point you struggle to use it.
  • TBH, im still fine using it - maybe not really using for what i intended to use it for, fitness.
  • It worked great both as a smartwatch—keeping track of meetings, messages, unlocking my Mac—and as a fitness tracker. ... I’m servicing the battery on my AW5 and keeping the device that brings me comfort, joy, and satisfaction.

Cons

  • However the battery life kills me since I workout in the mornings my watch starts dying by 5-6 PM I’ve changed my settings to fix this but it still dies.
  • I doubt Apple ignored the poor performance of Series 5 in a neutral, peer-reviewed study
  • The battery would be my biggest concern with a Series 5, it might struggle to get a full day from a single charge
  • Not really
  • Wasn’t gonna risk anything after breaking my s1 screw after scraping it on a brick wall and putting a gouge in my s5 on the floor at my old job when picking something up.

because it is an old Series 5, it doesn't have battery to last with cellular through the school day

I am currently trying to decide if I want to upgrade my Apple Watch Series 5, it has a 44mm size case.
