Yep, the Apple Watch Series 5 does have an always-on display. This means you can take a quick peek at your watch without needing to raise your wrist, as the time and other important info, like workout stats, stay visible but dim.

The display adjusts its brightness and refresh rate to save battery when your wrist is down, and you can easily wake it up by lifting your wrist or tapping the screen.

From what we've found, people like this feature's convenience, especially during workouts or meetings, since it lets you check your watch discreetly.

If you're worried about battery life, there's an option to turn this feature off. Even with it on, the watch is designed to last around 18 hours, though the actual battery life may vary depending on how you use it.

Just a heads-up, the Series 5 doesn't come with built-in sleep tracking, but the always-on display definitely adds a nice touch to its array of features.
