Apple Watch Series 4 + Bluetooth 5

Has anyone noticed their Series 4 is faster with any internet requests that use Bluetooth 5 (when connected to a Bluetooth 5 iPhone)? Curious if there's a noticeable speed or even range bump there with Siri requests, sending messages, etc.

I’ve definitely noticed a considerable difference in speed when transferring songs and installing apps over the series 3.

I’m guessing both the phone and the watch would need 5.0 for any difference to be made?

When I restored my series 3 backup with quite a few apps onto the series 4 with the Xs max the app install speed on the series 4 was significantly faster.

Which the new phones have 5.0 as well - curious of some tests of older phones - I didn’t time mine - hard to tell if it was faster than Series 3 for this stuff.

Transferring songs to the Watch over Bluetooth is much faster vs. my Series 2.
