Does it work without an iPhone?

No. It requires an iPhone 6s or later running iOS 13 or later. Cellular service also needs a plan from the same carrier as the iPhone.

Yes. It is swimproof, so it can be worn in the pool or open water for workouts.

What is different about the Nike version?

It adds Nike Run Club audio guided runs, exclusive Nike watch faces and a Nike Sport Band. The hardware is otherwise the same as the standard Series 5.

Does the always-on display drain the battery?

It dims and refreshes less often when your wrist is down, but owners still report roughly a day of battery life, less with cellular use.

The watch with an Anthracite/Black Nike Sport Band, a magnetic charging cable and a power adapter. Some bands are sold separately.

Is it a big upgrade over the Series 4?

Mainly for the always-on display and compass. The processor is only modestly faster, so Series 4 owners gain less.
