Can I upgrade my first-gen Apple Watch?

Simple answer: no. Unfortunately for early adopters, Apple’s forthcoming watchos 5 release is not going to be compatible with the first-generation Apple Watch (those purchased at launch in 2015). It is only going to be available for the Series 1, Series 2 and Series 3 models released from 2016.

Upgrade with ease

Looking set for a busy day? You can schedule Do Not Disturb so that you won’t be bothered for a set amount of time, or until you leave your current location.

Walkie-talkie

If you’re about to set off for work and you want to know if a colleague is ready to be picked up, open a Walkie Talkie app, choose a contact and press to talk via your wrist.

New activity features

As well as being able to compete with others in Activity competitions and have the watch automatically detect when you’re exercising, watchos 5 has new workouts and new running features.
