Samsung Galaxy Watch 5
Samsung Galaxy Watch5 and Watch5 Pro smartwatches are here!
The Samsung Watch5 and Watch5 Pro smartwatches combine some of the best features in their class with a very streamlined and stylish look. Watch5 smartwatches are perfect for any outfit, whether you're on the couch, in the office, or even at the gym. Watch5 watches offer a comprehensive range of features and applications for the fitness enthusiast, but also for everyday situations. For years, Samsung smartwatches have been very popular and at the forefront of the smartwatch competition thanks to their cutting-edge features and comprehensive personalization options.
The Samsung Galaxy Watch5 range includes the Watch5 and Watch5 Pro models. The normal and Pro watches share many of the same features and functionality, but the Samsung Galaxy Watch5 Pro watches bring with them some very practical outdoor features, significantly improved battery life, and an easier-to-use bezel. Thus we can recommend the Samsung Galaxy Watch5 Pro as a great outdoor watch for any outdoor enthusiast.
The standard Galaxy Watch 5 smartwatch is available in two different sizes of steel frame, 40 mm, and 44 mm, while the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro is only available with a 45 mm titanium frame.
A new highly appreciated feature of the Galaxy Watch 5 and Galaxy Watch 5 Pro is their sapphire crystal. To protect the watches' displays, the highly regarded sapphire glass, known in the watch industry as a virtually scratch-resistant material, has been updated. Worn all day, the watches are highly susceptible to minor scratches and bumps. Sapphire glass is one of the most durable materials available for watch glass and offers the best possible protection for precious watch displays.
Galaxy Watch5 and Galaxy Watch5 Pro smartwatches offer a long battery time thanks to their updated battery
The batteries in both the Galaxy Watch5 and Galaxy Watch5 Pro have significantly increased from before, which means very good battery life for both watches. Of particular note is the Galaxy Watch5 Pro, which packs an unprecedentedly large battery of up to 590mAh, putting the Galaxy Watch5 Pro in the lead for smartwatch batteries.
Samsung Galaxy Watch4 vs Watch5
The standard Galaxy Watch5 shares many familiar features and characteristics with the previous Galaxy Watch4. The strengths of the Watch5 models over the former include their larger and more advanced battery and faster charging, much more durable screen glass, and increased number of sensors for collecting data to support sports and recovery.
The Watch5 Pro model has undergone a complete overhaul from the previous Watch4 Classic model. The redesign has removed the twistable bezel and replaced it with a smooth bezel using haptic technology. Instead of the old steel frame, the new Pro model uses a more durable and lighter titanium. The battery size has also undergone a significant upgrade, with its capacity increased to the current 590 mAh, giving the watch a battery life of around 80h.
Will the Galaxy Watch5 work with Apple?
Unfortunately not. The Samsung Galaxy Watch5 does not support the IOS operating system, meaning that Apple phone users will not be able to connect their mobile device to the Watch5 or Watch5 Pro smartwatches.
Do I need to connect my Galaxy Watch5 to my phone?
Absolutely not. The Bluetooth models have very limited capabilities without connecting the watch to your phone, but the LTE models don't need a phone at all as long as eSIM is activated.
