Is Apple Watch Series 5 suitable for a 13-year-old?

Hi I would like to get my daughter an IPhone watch for Christmas but I know nothing about them . Would an iPhone series 5 , 40mm be any good for my 14 year old ? Please help

As to the Apple Watch itself, the Series 5 Apple Watch was discontinued four years ago, so I would not recommend buying one now. It's not going to support the latest version of the operating system, and in a year Apple will drop support for it. I'd recommend not buying anything older than a Series 6 Apple Watch, and something newer if budget allows.


Regards.
