It’s a decent watch. Not a big fan of Samsung watches. Band quality is not that good

COMFORT It's probably worth noting I have yet to own any watch. I only recently felt any interest in them and I wanted to wait for the right one. I've always been a fan of Samsung products for a very long time so it only made sense. Comfort has always been very important to me since I don't tend to like to wear anything. I was actually quite surprised with just how comfortable the watch is. I have hairy arms and normally it causes problems when I wear anything. But the band is really soft (yet firm) and doesn't pull on me. While the back of the device looks as if it's going to dig into you, you don't even feel anything. All this is surprising considering the large screen yet it still feels very light on the wrist. DEVICE While it's feature rich, setup was still quick and it's very intuitive and easy to use. Syncing and connecting is seamless. I absolutely love the integrated tutorial and having all that, quite literally, on hand. It leaves one less manual laying around that you'll never have with you. The customization is fantastic and fun to personalize which was also an important factor in choosing a watch. I don't always use a lot of features on smart devices so being able to just use and keep what I like up front is great. Maybe it's my age but I still like physical buttons. So I love that they have one for turning on the display which really decreases the chances of you accidentally turning it on and inadvertently messing with things. All this is made even better with it's crisp and clear display and responsive and accurate touch controls. It has a new sapphire crystal glass display which I was told by a tech savvy family member that is a very welcome upgrade. I tend to bang into things so knowing I have an extra durable screen gives me more peace of mind. The battery life is ok (more on that below) but at least it seems to be fast charging. At 16% battery it only took 1 hour to charge. Fortunately, I was able to test it's waterproof capabilities. Without going into detail, whether just swimming or jumping off of 16ft high ledges, it held up very well and stayed on just fine. There are just a few downsides. Most notably would be the battery life. On power save mode I made it to 2 and a half days (16% left) from a full charge with pretty heavy use, considering there was a LOT to customize and set up. Without it, I'm sure it will be significantly less. This may not be bad for some but I'm sure it may bother some people. In the end it all depends on how you use it and what your needs are. While the device has plenty of health features, it does require numerous apps to make use of them. Those being Galaxy Wearable, Samsung Health and Samsung Health Monitor. Lastly, maybe this is just how it is these days but a USB C adapter is NOT included for charging. You get the cable only. So keep this in mind if you don't have one available than you'll need to purchase separately. It really feels like Samsung thought of it all when designing this. What seems obvious, is they want to make sure the Galaxy Watch is the only smart watch you'll ever want. My wife has been using a smaller competitors fitness watch for a year and a half but it just abruptly died on her. After seeing the Galaxy Watch 5, she wants one and will probably never look back. PROS - Comfortable yet durable - Lots of customization - Responsive/Accurate - Fast charging CONS - Battery life - Requires several apps to make maximum use of features - USB-C adapter must be bought separately

So far no complaints. I love everything about this smartwatch

Every summer into the fall season Samsung releases a new iteration of their Galaxy devices ranging from the more recent foldables, the traditional candy bar style phones and the wearables. I recently picked up the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro I wanted to see what Samsung had created being that I am an avid user of the brand. As far as wearables go, I first got into them when I first purchased the Galaxy Gear S3 Classic way back in 2016. The sleek clean look is what drew me in. I then replaced my Gear S3 with the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic in 2021. I have been using Samsung watches for a little more than six years. :::Initial Impressions::: Upon opening the box, you will find the watch itself the new clasp style band and a small magnetic USB Type C wireless charging dock. Figuring out the clasp mechanism took me about a minute to figure out. It is adjustable but not in the traditional sense like a double clasp watch the mechanism is magnetic and is solid and doesn’t come undone at all. I typically get the Grey or Silver like watches but opted for the Black variation this time around and it looks great. I was really surprised with the fact that Samsung yet again is trying to do away with the Rotating bezel. I found it to be a distinctive feature that was unique to Samsung and it was more than a convenience but more on that later in the review. :::General Thoughts::: Depending on who you ask as whole the Galaxy Watches have taken a few steps back and some forward throughout the release of each watch. I saw what the watches used to do and can do and, in that sense, there are more obvious changes that were made from a design and software perspective. For those coming from a legacy Tizen OS device this will be quite the change because the Wear OS software had only recently been adopted by Samsung with the previous generation Watch 4 Series of smartwatches being the first devices that Samsung offered with Wear OS. There are differences between the two operating systems but the biggest advantage Tizen “had” over Wear OS was battery life. Tizen was optimized over the years to have outstanding battery life and that has mostly been the Achilles Heel of Wear OS along with a lack of support from software developers. In all reality the same could be said about Tizen with the lack of popular apps that one would find on competing platforms like Apple. But a watch’s worth is measured by the owner. :::Battery & Design::: One of the main features of the GW5 Pro is the battery life. And after my testing I have been able to get through three days of use which is what was expected of the Tizen OS devices. But then again not everyone uses their device like I do so YMMV. When I do use my watch for fitness purposes then I will get close to two days of battery life. I like to use my watch for sleep tracking, fitness and for notifications and phone calls. Fitness tracking was a cinch previously thanks to the rotating bezel. I find myself frustrated at the gym sometimes because I forget that there is no physical rotating bezel. It is still there but it is now digital and it does work well it is more a muscle memory reaction having used a watch with a rotating bezel for six years or so. In fact, I believe the design of the pro is for those who had previously been used to the rotating bezel. Compare the standard watch 5 to the Pro and you will see the design difference because the outer ring is elevated on the pro as where there are very slim bezels on the standard 5. Sleep tracking, I can’t notice any improvements or with fitness. I do not use the GPS feature on my watch because I find it to be confusing having to find and load GPX files it isn’t cut and dry like using GPS on your phone is but that may be different with the LTE version of the watch. I really tried to figure it out and I was frustrated with that. I manually use Maps on my phone and then track my bike rides through the watch with the aid of my phone. That is my preferred method and it is a whole lot easier for me. Design wise I am not really a fan of the plain look of the GW5 pro I really loved the design of the Classic line of watches. My solution to that is simple I kept my GW4 Classic and use that when I am going out with my wife for a night out on the town or have an important meeting to attend. Otherwise, my GW5 pro is my main watch. I long retired my Gear S3 I just can’t get rid of it because it looks great. :::Pros & Cons::: Pros 1. Large display 2. Improved battery life 3. Rugged 4. New magnetic clasp strap Cons: 1. Bland design 2. Really miss the rotating bezel :::Closing thoughts::: I really would have preferred that Samsung make a base, classic and pro watch which would offer something for everyone. I know that in time I will get used to not using the bezel but I really prefer the look and feel of the classic. I would need more time to figure out how to find and upload GPX files it just seems like a lot of work just to track your workout I do not see the purpose yet. Maybe in time I will but as of now I just won’t. :::TL;DR::: Samsung is trying something new here and I like the direction this is headed in but taking away a loved product and then not offering an alternative isn’t cool. I am hoping next year we see the return of the classic people like myself own more than one watch it is a missed opportunity. Overall, this is a solid device but I don’t quite see what is so pro about it. Go try it out for yourself if you like Smartwatches and need the latest and greatest.

The Samsung Galaxy 5 pro is a very nice, smart and capable watch. I had an S3 and loved it. So, the S5 is a big improvement. Out of the box the watch had a 81% charge for those that cant wait to start. I fully charged it with the included charger (USB-C no outlet included) charging from 80 to 100% only took less than 10 minutes. After charging I downloaded the app and fired up the watch on my S22. Pairing was almost immediate, very easy, just a few clicks and the watch was good to go, it also logged in to my previous s3 account and wanted to know if I wanted to restore those settings. I started fresh. After downloading a few watch faces and setting up the notifications on my watch, I was ready to test. Phone calls were answered and the other person couldn’t tell if I was on my phone or watch, emails ..very easy to view and respond, same with texts, health notifications were all good, even apps with multiple accounts. Most all settings are tweaked from the app which is very user friendly. I downloaded the healthmate app and enjoyed using the sleep, EKG, Pulse/heart rate. The sleep app logged the length, got a sleep score, 02 levels. I also setup the measure snore activity (even records you) I had previously set the app up to recognize when I was exercising. I tested this on a brisk walk. The pro didn’t miss a beat. When I was done, I checked the app and it logged my walk, also included GPS coordinates, speed, pace and distance as well. From the watch you can pick from a multitude of exercises, like swimming, biking, running, lifting, exercise bikes, treadmill and ellipticals. More than I could ever use, and for people who are fitness gurus. This will log about everything for you, for those who want to lose weight, you can measure your body composition and set target weights. The app will also provide tips. As far as the fit goes, once you get the band set to your liking, I forget I’m even wearing it. The silicon band is very comfortable. If its not for you, they have nicer bands you can acquire. The size of the 45mm is not real big. To me its average of a wristwatch (I don’t have big arms either) maybe a little thicker. The build is solid, titanium case with a sapphire crystal crown. Performance comes from a Qualcomm Snapdragon W5 chip, same as the 4 but very capable Gone from the new watch is the turn dial, now everything is swiped, or touch the screen in a circular motion to flip screens like turning the dial. The battery is awesome, it states up to 80 hours but a lot less if you leave the display on all the time (I have mine set to turn on when I lift my arm and I was able to get 5 days out of mine wearing it. Loose your phone or watch? You can ping to go off making it easy to find. I love the new 5 Pro, it does everything and more. If I plan to try out new exercises the watch is ready for me, the built-in temp sensor has not been activated yet as of this review. But it would be nice to get this asap. I would recommend this to friends and family!!

My old fitness tracker wasn't compatible with my new phone so I figured it was finally time to move to a full smartwatch. I originally got a used galaxy watch 4 classic but the battery life would be hitting 50% after a 9 hour workshift. Got tired of babysitting the battery and charging it 2-3 times a day so I decided to just buy new. Found this on a good sale and so far it's exceeded expectations. Battery: Samsung rates the 5 pro's battery life at 80 hours and it seems to live up to it, after a 5 day workweek I was sitting between 15%-20%. My daily use is timekeeping with a low power use watchface, notification management, heartrate monitoring(set to update every 10 min), dog walking tracking, and calendar reminders. I haven't used the gps that much aside from seeing my walking routes after the fact but apparently it offers point to point navigation for hikers. I also haven't used it for sleep tracking much so if you do plan on that it might run out of juice a day earlier. Fit and Finish: While the 5 pro is larger than the 4 Classic, it's lighter titanium construction makes their weight about even. I also fell in love with the included watchstrap. It's the first wearable I've ever had that lets me adjust the fit so much. Managed to get it just right so that there's no wiggling while on the wrist but I don't have a indent when I take it off. Full marks and I'm buying a black leather one for when I need to be formal. Honestly the watch is very comfortable to wear and I might actually start using it to track my sleep more often. I was somewhat hesitant to move from a model with a analog bezel to a touchscreen equivalent but the raised edges of the pro makes it easier to scroll than I thought it would and this way I don't have to worry about grit getting into any moving parts. Pros: Great battery, comfort, features, and software support. Cons: Some features, like ECG, are locked if you are not using a samsung phone(I'm using a pixel 7a). And if you have a smaller wrist or hands the watch might look a little overbearing. Otherwise I strongly recommend this

Before talking about this new Galaxy Watch 5 Pro, I’d like to first say that my previous watch was the Galaxy Watch Active 2. Naturally, I’m analyzing how these two watches compare to one another, while assessing how much of an upgrade the 5 Pro is. My first impression is that the 5 Pro is a huge watch… the biggest I’ve owned so far. Honestly, it is really too big for my wrist, but I really wanted all the features that the Pro offered, versus the Watch 5. I’ve included some photos to see how the watch looks on my wrist. As a frame of reference, I’m a woman with small-average size wrists. It’s also a noticeably heavier watch. The band that came with the watch, the new D-Buckle Sport, is a great band, but I feel the no-gap design leaves more space between the watch and my wrist than necessary. I tried changing to a silicone band that I had on hand and it definitely made the watch look like it fit a bit better. Maybe on a larger wrist, this watch and the D-Buckle would look and fit better. The magnetic closure is a nice touch. That all being said, I am not knocking off any stars, just because this watch is too big for my wrist. Just something to keep in mind if you have smaller wrists. The first feature that made me choose this watch over the Watch 5 is the larger battery. I received the watch, charged to 100%, and had it on my wrist at 2:00pm on day 1. On day 3, at around 10:30pm, the battery level was at 23%. During this time, the watch AOD (always on display) was off. There was significant usage and screen-time setting up the watch and choosing a watch face. For exercise, I had one 25-minute walking session. I also wore it to sleep one night, with night mode on, and an alarm set. It was interesting to see my sleep score. I know that I don’t always sleep very well, but seeing the data was kind of surprising. It said that I was awake 4 times during the night, which it calculated to being around 32 minutes. I do not remember actually being awake that much so I’m left wondering about the accuracy of this. It says I burned 399 calories while sleeping so that’s a plus. One thing I noticed is that the watch can track snoring. The next time I wear my watch to sleep, which I don’t do all the time, I will turn it on to show my spouse the amount of snoring I have to endure… and why I wear earplugs. The next time I charged my watch to 100%, I tested it with AOD on. Other than not taking the time to set up my watch, my usage was pretty much the same. The 2nd day at around 10:00pm, the battery was at 32%. Obviously, having the AOD on used the battery up faster, but I still got a solid 2 days out of the watch. One thing to note, the nights where my watch was just sitting on my nightstand, not charging, it lost about 7% battery overnight. Turning off WiFi did not seem to change this overnight discharging. As I write this, my watch was at 100% yesterday morning at 5:30am and it’s currently at 59% at 3:30pm, with AOD off. I’m noticing that the watch’s Raise Wrist to Wake feature is very responsive… much more so than the Active 2. For this reason, I will mostly wear the watch with AOD off to maximize battery usage. One feature that my Watch Active 2 did not have was the Google integration. I really like that Samsung finally decided to play nicely with Google. The first app I installed was Google Wallet. I mean, after all, Samsung Pay is really not supported out there like Google Pay is. You might call it lazy, but it really is convenient to just hold my watch up to a pay terminal versus having to take my phone out. My other must-have is Google Assistant. Nothing against Bixby, but I’ve been a Google geek for a long time and I’m just use to the Google Assistant. I altered the home key on the watch so that the long press brings up the Google Assistant. It actually surprised me one night. We have Google Home devices all around our home and I was setting an alarm on the one in my daughter’s room. Just with my voice, my watch responded and set an alarm before my daughter’s device did. I told Google (on my watch) to cancel the alarm and it did. It’s very responsive on the watch. Activity tracking on this watch is much like that on the Active 2, but with some slight differences. One being the automatic workout tracking. It seems that this feature kicked in a bit sooner on the Active 2 than on the 5 Pro. According to Samsung, “You must work out for 10 minutes in order for the automatic workout detection feature to detect the related workout activities you perform”. While walking my (big) dogs at a fairly good pace, it took closer to 15 minutes to start tracking. The Active 2 definitely kicked in sooner, with the same activity. I need to test this out more to see if it was a fluke or if this watch takes a bit longer to detect exercise. One thing that was cool was, during the walk, the dogs stopped to sniff something. I looked at my watch and the tracking timer was paused. While looking at it to figure out why it stopped, the dogs started walking again, so did I and the watch tracking time started up again. I was not expecting that feature. It will be something I keep an eye on when performing/tracking other exercises, but so far that’s a very handy feature. Overall, this is probably the best quality smartwatch I’ve owned… and I’ve had plenty, dating back to the Pebble smartwatch. This is a solid, tough yet refined-looking watch. It’s a quality smartwatch and fitness tracker with great battery-life for the functionality that it offers. If you have an Android phone and love smartwatches, this is a great addition.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch5 Aluminum Smartwatch in 44mm BT - Graphite has truly exceeded my expectations and has become an indispensable part of my daily life. The three words that best describe this smartwatch are sleek, versatile, and powerful. The graphite color gives it a modern and sophisticated look, making it suitable for any occasion. The 44mm size is perfect for my wrist, and it feels comfortable to wear all day long. The feature set of the Galaxy Watch5 is outstanding. From the moment I paired it with my smartphone via Bluetooth, I was amazed by the seamless integration. I can easily receive notifications, messages, and calls on my wrist, which has made my life so much more convenient. The built-in speaker and microphone allow me to take calls directly from the watch, making communication on the go a breeze. The health and fitness tracking capabilities of this watch are exceptional. It accurately monitors my heart rate, tracks my daily activities, and even automatically detects various workouts, providing real-time feedback and insights. The sleep tracking feature has been eye-opening, helping me improve my sleep patterns and overall well-being. Despite its compact size, the battery life is impressive. With moderate usage, I can easily get through two full days before needing to recharge. The wireless charging feature is also convenient and quick to use. The Galaxy Watch5 also offers a wide range of watch faces and customizable widgets, allowing me to personalize the interface to my liking and quickly access the information I need most. One of the standout features for me is the ability to store and play music directly from the watch. It's perfect for workouts or when I want to enjoy some music without carrying my phone around. In conclusion, the Samsung Galaxy Watch5 Aluminum Smartwatch 44mm BT in Graphite has become an essential part of my daily routine. Its sleek design, versatile features, and powerful performance make it a standout product in the smartwatch market. I highly recommend this watch to anyone looking for a reliable and stylish companion to their smartphone. It has earned its well-deserved 5-star rating!

While I was told beforehand not to pair and use the Watch 5 Pro with a Google phone, I went and did it anyway. This is not to say that it does not work with a Google phone. It’s just a warning that the user experience may not be optimal when using it. So with that out of the way… Using the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro (W5P henceforth) has been nice. Much of what Samsung has promoted with the W5P is on their website. So I won’t go into details about it. One of the issues with smartwatches is purpose. If you need one that keeps track of your fitness and exercises, there are other makes and brands that likely can do it better. Yet smartwatches as a utility is a niche market. And that’s a complicated matter. As a whole, the W5P is a utility watch that is intended to do anything a smartwatch can possibly do – track your exercises, heart rate, control your music playback, to name a few. Yet the problem with a utility smartwatch is that the more abilities you put into it, the more complicated the software that runs it will be. The W5P is powered by Google’s WearOS but its interface is skinned entirely by Samsung. On the surface, it appears and works similar to older Samsung smartwatches. Yet at the same time, due to Samsung skinning WearOS on the W5P, you also get Samsung’s unnecessary duplication of apps. On the software side of things, some of Samsung’s watch apps do things better than Google’s own. However, building your health data on Samsung’s apps also means needing to jump through a lot of hoops just to get started – account creation, and granting more permissions than I’d like. You also cannot sync your data across platforms too, meaning those data points you accrue in Samsung Health cannot be transferred or synced to Google Fit, which is immensely disappointing in so many ways. The only way to transfer those data is to use a 3rd party app and there isn’t one that is truly free. Samsung has touted its bigger battery. So to see if that holds true, I topped off the watch on Friday night and could only get it down to 3% by Monday evening. This is quite impressive to me but doesn’t tell the whole story. To get it to last that long, I did not have Always On display set until late Monday afternoon. ECG monitoring was not turned on nor am I able to turn it on due to it being walled behind Samsung’s app store. The watch was also worn at all times, including during sleep, but was taken off during bathing despite that it has IP68 and ATM5 water resistance. Also of note is that Samsung also promoted its fast charging, claiming to go from 0% to around 45% in 30 minutes. One website seems to dispute this claim, writing that 30 minutes got them to 30%. With the above description of the scenario, I ran my personal timing using a phone as a timer and starting as soon as the watch indicated it was charging. In 30 minutes, the W5P went from 3% to 50%, which surprisingly is better than what Samsung promoted. Charging was done using the included charger connected to an Anker 735 (Nano II 65W) purchased from Amazon. Wearing the W5P is a small adjustment, having used the first generation Watch. The new strap band is silicon but is perhaps one of the nicer ones. After trial and error, I managed to find the length point that fits around my wrist perfectly. Unlike most traditional bands, where there are holes to fit a certain size, a person’s wrist could be between two of the size holes. In other words, no more a little too tight and a little too loose. This band is adjustable to be sized perfectly for your wrist. While taking the watch off is simple enough (detach the magnetic lock), putting it on can be a small juggle. But I got used to it after a while. Overall, I’m impressed and liked the W5P. There are some features that I did not cover and I apologize for that. But in the limited time that I can test some of the functions, I came away liking it as a whole. There are high expectations for another smartwatch from a certain search empire company. But I think Samsung hits the nail on the head for much of what a smartwatch can do. It sets the bar very high and it will be very difficult for any other company to top that. Naturally, there are drawbacks. ECG monitoring is walled behind Samsung’s app store. Samsung Health cannot export nor sync data to Google Fit for data redundancy or platform interoperability. And lastly by some strange design, the watch cannot be charged with a capable Samsung phone. Verdict: A good buy The Good: long battery life, fast charging, new band/strap design fits almost any wrists The Bad: Samsung Health cannot export/sync health data to Google Fit The Ugly: the embarrassment of not knowing how that new strap operates

I select the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro Titanium after a long time thinking about which smart watch buy. It looks really nice and strong. It has a good battery and it is really easy to set up. It has a nice variety of apps and a really good connection to the cellphone. It track my health nicely and my sleep. Also I like the way it track my activity, like the distance I walk and my active time during day.

Absolutely love this. Big improvement on battery from previous gens. Size is great, I have small wrists- step up from the small version and smaller than the large size on the previous generation. Can't say enough about battery. I've had this for almost a year and I typically got 4+ days before charging and I'm very active with sports and daily work. I've always loved the bezel, but this feels the same as though there was one present. Benefit to that is that when I wear long-sleeve shirts at work, jackets on/off and lacrosse gloves on/off, I'm not killing the battery by have it constantly light up and change menus due to bezel movement. I always have my watch up- was a requirement of anything I was going to pick out. I only take my watch off to charge- thus I swim, shower, do yard work, play sports, kayak, etc. Wasn't the best for answering a call in the shower however, not that I really should have been trying to (ha ha). Highly recommend.

Fantastic watch in every regard, Titanium build is far more lightweight than the previous iterations of the higher end galaxy watches, and still retains durability, user interface is more intuitive than ever and the apps are fare more easily accessible. The watch band with it is finicky at first to adjust to the right size, but once you find the sweet spot, it becomes very easy to put on, while remaining secure and comfortable. The watch retains a very premium product feel, having used the original Galaxy Watch for roughly 4 years now, and having retained the incredible battery life throughout that period, I was pleasantly surprised with a further improved battery life with the Watch5 Pro, from my previous watch, the new integrations for the watch map tracking, as well as integrations with Google based apps and third party also (downloaded through Google play store) are fantastic added features and we're much needed. The Watch5 Pro can take continuous measurements of Heart Rate, Blood Oxygen, etc. And does it while still maintaining incredible battery life. This is a great watch for very active smart watch users who need something durable, reliable, and can afford the higher price tag, the main reason I docked it from 5 stars to 4 stars is the attempting use of the digital touch bezel controls, and the relegation of the physical rotating mechanical bezel that was seen on the previous Galaxy Watches, such as the Watch 4 Classic. The digital bezel works, but not well enough to rationalize the change, it has a slight delay, making it less intuitive on the fly. I am an endurance cyclist, and that slight misstep delay on the digital bezel can be a deal breaker when I'm actively riding and every second that my hands aren't on handlebars can be crucial to safety. Having used the physical bezel for a cross country trip, it makes a big difference for users like myself. Who tend to be the target audience for this high end watch. The watch charger is very fast, snappy, and magnetizes well, the only issue I had was that the watch band made putting it on the charger a nuisance since the watch band has to stay in a loop shape to maintain the right fit. However the charging puck is magnetized on both sides, allowing it to stick to both the watch and the surface below it. I wound up returning it strictly with the possibility of the upcoming Watch6 Pro/Classic, (supposedly coming out next month) having a physical bezel once again.

This is the first true smart watch I've ever owned, and I'm sold. I've had a dedicated fitness watch, and a dedicated golf watch, and they were good for what they were designed for, but not very versatile. The Samsung Galaxy watch really does it all. Text messages are easy to read and pictures can even be viewed from messages. I was even able to take a phone call on the watch and had no trouble hearing and being heard (that I know of). It keeps track of any kind of workout you want to do, and you can set goals that it can tell you if you've met. And best of all, I can use it for golf as well (so far I like the Golf Shot app the best). The watch is easy to control and customize through the Wearable app. The face has many options that are all customizable for what you wan to see. I like having the weather on my wrist at all times, and even the weather app has many different things you can customize. The one thing I hope gets better is the apps available that can be used with the watch. I use Amazon Music, and that does not have a dedicated app for the watch. Also, while I can get notifications for Gmail on my watch, there does not seem to be a dedicated Gmail app that lets me check my email. I had to connect my Gmail to Outlook which does have an app for the watch, but then I would get multiple notices for things both on my phone and watch, so I quickly ditched that setup. The battery life seems short (about 2 days), but I guess you basically have a smartphone on your wrist, so you can't expect it to last that long. The upshot is that it charges super quick through a USB-C port (less than an hour). All in all, a fantastic watch. I resisted a smart watch for the longest time, but my experience with this watch will ensure I have one on my wrist for the foreseeable future.

Wanted to try the Samsung watch after having a crowdfunded watch for many years. Heard about the issue with battery life with Samsung watches but have had no issues. I can go almost 3 days before needing to charge it. I love the number of different features it has and customizable setup for apps to display. People have complained about the digital doggle instead of the physical doggle to flip through options on the watch but I don't have any issues and I have fairly big hands. Would definitely recommend the Galaxy 5 watch for those who have Samsung phones.

This Galaxy Watch5 Pro Titanium is 100% solid. You don't need to buy additional protective enhancements or watch bands to protect it. This watch is beefy and constructed to withstand abuse. It is very attractive, straight out of the box. I love the magnetic watch band clasp, the size, and the overall aesthetics of the watch. If you're thinking of pulling the trigger, don't second-guess yourself. Pull the trigger because this watch is definitely worth it!

5/5 Stars - A Stunning and Feature-Rich Smartwatch! I recently purchased the Samsung Galaxy Watch5 Aluminum Smartwatch in the 44mm BT version, and I must say, I am thoroughly impressed! This smartwatch offers a perfect blend of style and functionality that has exceeded my expectations. Firstly, the design of the watch is sleek and modern. The graphite color gives it a sophisticated look, and the aluminum build feels durable yet lightweight on my wrist. The large 44mm display is vibrant and sharp, making it easy to read notifications and track my fitness data. The watch's performance is exceptional, and the Bluetooth connectivity ensures seamless pairing with my smartphone. Setting it up was a breeze, and I appreciate the smooth integration with my Samsung smartphone, enabling me to answer calls, reply to texts, and control music playback right from my wrist. The health and fitness features of the Galaxy Watch5 are outstanding. The built-in heart rate monitor, SpO2 sensor, and sleep tracking have been incredibly helpful in monitoring my overall well-being. I love the variety of fitness tracking options and the automatic workout detection, which ensures accurate data without any hassle. Battery life on this smartwatch is impressive. With moderate use, I can easily get through two full days on a single charge, and even with heavy usage, it lasts a full day without any issues. One standout feature for me is the rotating bezel. It's such a convenient and intuitive way to navigate through apps and menus. Combined with the touch-screen, it provides a user-friendly experience that I can't do without now. The watch also comes with a fantastic array of customizable watch faces, allowing me to match it with my outfit or mood effortlessly. Plus, there's an extensive selection of apps available, making it versatile for both productivity and entertainment purposes. I have taken this smartwatch on outdoor activities, and I'm delighted with its water resistance and durability. It has survived a few accidental bumps without a scratch, proving it's built to withstand an active lifestyle. Overall, I can confidently say that the Samsung Galaxy Watch5 Aluminum Smartwatch 44mm BT - Graphite is a top-notch smartwatch that ticks all the right boxes. Whether you're a fitness enthusiast or someone who wants to stay connected on the go, this watch has you covered. Samsung has truly outdone themselves with this one, and I highly recommend it to anyone in need of a reliable and stylish smartwatch.

The Galaxy Watch 5 is Samsung’s second generation Google Wear OS watch that has many feature upgrades over past generations. This watch comes with Sapphire glass that is more durable than their previous watches and holds up well in day to day use. The watch is very light compared to previous models as well and felt more like a fitness tracker and put much less strain on my wrist. Setting up the watch was easy as it goes straight into pairing mode and the companion phone app found it right away. The fitness and sleeping tracking worked great out of the box and helps motivate me into walking more. One thing needs to be said about the battery life is that it is enough to get through 1 day of normal use but you'll need to charge it soon after or even the same day if you are a heavy user. There are many watch faces and color schemes to choose from so you will definitely fined one that suits your tastes. All in all the Galaxy Watch 5 is a decent smart watch that is durable and feature filled and I do recommend it.

This watch is the best smartwatch I’ve ever had. I was originally concerned about how big the watch is. My wrists are small, quite small in fact. The watch is huge. It completely covers the top of my wrist. But it works. Surprisingly it is not in the way and I don’t catch it on things like I was afraid I might. At first, I considered purchasing a replacement band that fits my wrist size better. But I actually like the sport band. The magnetic clasp makes it so easy to slide off when I need to charge. Yet it keeps the watch securely on my wrist otherwise. The display is bright and easy to read. With the Galaxy Wearable (Wear) app, there is a nearly infinite number of customizations available. Battery charges seem to be good for about three days. I usually charge it every couple of days though so it doesn’t go dead at an inopportune moment. The watch stays connected to my Galaxy phone consistently, unlike my previous smartwatch. Some people have stated they have trouble with the sleep tracking feature on this watch, but that seems to work fine for me. It accurately logs when I go to sleep and when I wake up. I can’t tell for sure if it is accurate about the sleep phases. I’m not convinced it is completely accurate on the step counts though. But it could just be that I wish I took more steps each day, too. I do think it is close enough for what I need though. I like that it senses when I go for a walk jog and offers to record my track. My only wish is that Samsung offered the Watch5 Pro Titanium in 2 sizes. This size and a slightly smaller size. Same exact features, only just a bit smaller.

I've had Samsung watches for years and just replaced my older Active 2 one with this 5 and I'm very happy. Overall it functions relatively the same way, however I've noticed it's a little faster, more responsive and I love just swiping up for the app drawer, makes so much more sense. Another difference is that although it's listed as the same size it looks and feels bigger on my wrist, probably because of the flat screen. It's no longer a curved bubble, which I find much better. The font is bigger, easier to read without glasses. I like the look of an oversized watch on my very small wrist, but that's a matter of taste, just be aware, it will surprise you. Lastly, the battery life, sadly isn't much better if at all, but I've made my piece with that, because I love the watch and I've gotten used to putting it on the charger while I'm having coffee in the morning every other day. The positive side to this is that charging is much, much faster so that's pretty much takes care of the battery issue for me. If you are someone that doesn't understand the need for a watch since you have your phone, you have no idea how annoying it is to dig your phone out of your purse when you're busy or juggling things at a store in order to see if its important when it's ringing or getting an alert or waiting for an important call. In short, love it, get it, enjoy it!
