    Great smartwatch

    I bought it to replace my old gear S3, and so far it's performing well. It was inexpensive compared to the titanium one, but the battery life still lasts me 2 days with infrequent use. I also use it to play a Spotify playlist while away from my phone. I don't use any of the Samsung pay features, so I can't comment on those. I do occasionally check my heart rate on it more out of curiosity than anything. It seems to have a lot of fitness-related bells and whistles but I just keep things simple for the most part.

    Nice Watch with Good Health Tracking

    I've been enjoying this watch from Samsung. I like just about everything about it. The thing I like the most is the sleep tracker. I'm always interested in the quality of sleep that I get and this watch breaks it down into quantitative units to help me understand how I'm sleeping. The sleep tracker is just one of the health trackers available. Others include heart rate, ecg, stress meter, step counter, calorie burner, and so on. The watch is comfortable to wear. The face may be a bit big for women, but it fits my wrist well. The band doesn't irritate my skin, even after wearing it pretty much nonstop. Even with the constant tracking, the battery lasts almost two days. The watch face is easy to navigate and is very responsive. My biggest complaint is that it is too responsive. It will react to just about anything that touches it; not just your finger. This leads to things being opened/changed when you don't want them to, like if the watch touches your leg when sitting. The only other negative is that there seems to be too many different health tracking apps loaded on the watch. I want just one app to track all health metrics. All in all it's a good watch that looks good and is pretty useful.

    I've had the privilege of owning and using the Samsung Galaxy Watch5 since April, and I must say it's nothing short of amazing. From its sleek design to its extensive range of features, this smartwatch has been an integral part of my daily life, and I couldn't be more satisfied with it. One of the most notable aspects of the Galaxy Watch5 is its reliability. I'm delighted to report that I haven't encountered any issues since I started using it, and I sincerely hope this trend continues. The watch still performs as flawlessly as the day I unboxed it, and that's a testament to its build quality and durability. With a plethora of features at my disposal, it excels in serving various purposes. Whether it's tracking my fitness goals, receiving notifications, or managing my schedule, the watch never disappoints. Its ability to seamlessly sync with my phone and provide real-time updates has been a game-changer, especially when I can't easily access my phone. The battery life is another remarkable aspect of this smartwatch. I can wear it all day without worrying about constant recharging. It easily lasts through my busy schedule, making it a reliable and convenient addition to my life.

    Galaxy Watch 5 Pro has probably the best battery life among all previous versions of the series. It easily lasts more than 2 days after a full charge. It is very comfortable on the wrist and does not feel too bulky. It does not have a rotating bezel which the Watch 4 had so you might be a little disappointed if you were used to navigating stuff using the rotating bezel. All in all, very happy with the purchase.

    This is an excellent watch! I've previously owned several Samsung Galaxy Watches, from the very first with the strange camera in the band, to the final one with magnetic card capabilities. I switched to a Mabovi Ticwatch Pro 3 GPS watch and was somewhat underwhelmed with the features and the abysmal battery life after using the device for about 2 years. Switching back to this Galaxy Watch 5 Pro kept the same interface, Google WearOS, and even the same watch faces I had purchased for WearOS on the Ticwatch. What really stands out is the increased processor speed vs the Ticwatch 3 GPS, no more stuttering when switching between aps or menus. GPS performance is much snappier vs the Ticwatch. The health sensors seem to be more accurate, and the addition of the EKG are a nice value add. Ultimately, the battery life is what you're really getting with the Watch 5 PRO. I've gone 3 days without having to charge the watch, with minimal use. The titanium case and band clasp look good and are very durable. Unfortunately, I accidentally bumped the watch face against a brick wall when passing by too closely, and while there was very minor paint damage, the watch still looks great. I do miss the rotating bezel of my old Samsung watch, this touch rotation they implemented to replace it works most of the time, but it doesn't feel as good as Samsung watches of old. Overall, I highly recommend this device if you need the durability and extended battery life. Otherwise, go for the Watch 5 (non-pro) version.

    The Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro is a stylish and well-built smartwatch that offers a great user experience. The watch's classic design with a titanium body and a sapphire crystal screen looks great on the wrist and feels very durable. The user interface is easy to navigate, making it simple to accept calls, track your fitness activities, and follow maps while you're on the go. One thing to keep in mind is that while the battery life is good, it could be even better. Especially for users who heavily rely on GPS tracking features. However, with typical use, you shouldn't have any complaints and can easily get through a day or more on a single charge. Overall, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro is a great choice for Android smartphone users who are looking for a stylish, durable, and easy-to-use smartwatch.

    My Samsung watch 5 Pro

    Had my samsung watch 5 pro about year and half. It served me well to a point. Started to have little things here and there, that weren't working to my expectations. The battery life was good for at least 2 days but I changed my each day, though I read that you shouldn't, but I had the Watch 3 Frontier and it did need charging everyday so I formed a habit. I used it for tracking my heart rate and oxygen level. I used widget to measure steps when walking but never needed the GPS. I thought when I bought it it would read my blood pressure, but later found out that function wasn't available in United States. At the time it was pricey but now less so to new models or comparable. I will be getting the 7 ultra and expecting it to serve me well in the health monitoring and hopefully other things as well. Pro5 would be a good choice in my opinion but if you can afford the lastest model I would go for that instead from reviews I've read. One other thing, the band. At first I didn't think I'd like it, but that changed. It fit comfortably allowing contact with my wrist for good readings.

    My wife, who doesn't like "techy things", wanted a fitness tracker for steps, calorie and sleep tracking that looked somewhat refined. After some online research I opted to get her the Galaxy Watch 5 44mm in white/ aluminum without the sim card option. This Galaxy Watch is user friendly, easily customizable and able to withstand some bumps, bounces and water submersion. The watch fits my wife nicely and she likes the bigger screen which makes touch control easier. The white silicone band with aluminum bezel color option will allow her to easily adapt the watch to different color/style bands in the future. Me being somewhat "techy" I had the watch paired and synced quickly with her Galaxy S22 Ultra (like 30 seconds to pair and sync) and had the watch customized to her liking within several minutes. If you are like my wife and not comfortable with the setup find a gamer kid/techy person in the family and tell him/her to have at it. They will be glad to help and may even find a few features you didn't know you wanted. I found setting this watch up for my wife's use was intuitive and fun. If you're already a Samsung Galaxy phone user, the Galaxy Watch 5 user interface has the familiar Samsung phone look and feel and you will enjoy interacting with the device throughout the day as Samsung adapted their intuitive UI to this watch and operations came naturally to my wife within a few hours. The preloaded Fitness App on the Galaxy S22 Ultra has deeper insights and is user friendly without additional costs. The app can be linked to other fitness, women's health and nutrition apps. The watch charges quickly with the included magnetic charging adapter plugged into a Samsung Fast Charger. With a full charge around 9p daily the watch lasts all day for my wife who receives constant messaging, social media and email notifications during the day. If you always have your phone within reach you may not want or need the Galaxy Watch version that has a sim card slot in it for data connection. Without the sim card the watch still allows music control and text /email reading/ quick response function. Having a sim card with phone/text/streaming ability seems a little much for most users as the phone to watch connection has good range. This watch uses a dedicated phone/watch connection when paired to a Galaxy phone which then allows the phone to keep Bluetooth connection to your earbuds or speaker, and I feel that this is suitable for most people who enjoy going to the gym or working around the house/yard If you have a Samsung phone and want a user friendly, easy to understand watch with realistic health tracking, phone notification interfacing and music control the Galaxy Watch 5 without SIM card option is the best choice over Garmin or FitBit. Garmin is better for techy people or those needing true rugged style watch. Fitbit is better suited for people who like to spend money for no reason and/or iPhone users.

    So far i like the watch. I enjoy the multi day Battery life even with always on screen, location services etc. Watch is comfortable and the larger screen easy to read. Euros great with s23 ultra. Also like the durability, i am not worried about accidental bumps or contact with surfaces.

    The Galaxy Watch5 Pro has completely impressed me with its performance and premium design. The titanium build feels solid and lightweight, giving it a high-end look while still being extremely durable – perfect for daily wear and workouts. The display is gorgeous – bright, responsive, and easy to read even under direct sunlight. Battery life is one of its strongest points; I can go up to 2-3 days on a single charge with regular use, which is fantastic for a smartwatch with this many features. Fitness and health tracking are top-notch, with advanced sensors for heart rate, sleep, body composition, and more. The GPS and route tracking features are especially useful for outdoor activities like hiking or cycling. It syncs effortlessly with my Samsung phone and other devices, and the interface is smooth and intuitive. This is more than just a smartwatch – it’s a powerful fitness companion and a stylish everyday accessory. Highly recommended for anyone who wants durability, long battery life, and excellent health tracking in one package.

    Battery Better than Classic 4

    I'm coming from the Classic 4 LTE, which was a good watch with the exception of a horrible battery life, slow charging, and overheating issues. Although this is the BT version (I no longer wanted the LTE), Samsung has addressed all three of the problem issues, while retaining all of the functions of the Classic 4. There has been no overheating, it has a good battery life, and it charges fast enough to get me back to 100% while I shower (I wear it overnight for sleep tracking). This is the watch that the Classic 4 should have been - it's just too bad I had to spend so much extra money to get it. The only thing missing that could be a disappointment for some is the rotating bezel. It takes a little bit to get used to touch rotation, but the outer edge helps guide your finger. I'm loving the band that came with it, but you can use your bands from the previous generation if you want.

    Not sure if i like it or not

    So i bought this watch because it has an ekg feature on it that checks for heart rhythm irregularities. Plus i like new toys. Figured id go with the top of the line to get the biggest battery. I already had a nice watch and wasn't crazy about a smart watch that i had to take off and charge all the time. But i found a sale and reluctantly bought it. I've had it for a couple weeks now. I have not found a watch face that i like yet. But that is not a deal breaker. It picks up my heartbeat which i like during workouts and tells me when I'm sitting too long and need to move around, but that feature can be turned off. It has sleep metrix but i question the accuracy. I have a sleep number bed that is being delivered next month so I'm curious to see how close that is to the watch for tracking sleep. I like that it has a step counter but question its accuracy as well. I can get a good 4 days of use on a charge which is pretty good. One of the worst thungs is that i have to move my wrist a certain way or with speed for the screen to come on. I guess i can turn on the always on display but that would drain the battery more. It does have a blood pressure feature but apparently does not work where i live unless i hack the software. Kinda dumb. I think it's an ok gadget but priced on the high side for what it is. Oh yeah anf they don't give you a way to charge it either. You get a magnetic divice with a C type connector on the cable but if you don't have a charging block or anything to charge a C type cord then you better go buy one. I found that out the hard way.

    After a long time of just thinking about getting one, being curious, I finally broke down and got a smart watch. A couple of friends of mine had one and they love them, but I wasn't sure if I would like it. Especially considering the price tag. But I love it. I love that it connects to my phone and tracks all my steps along with my phone. Tracking my sleep, heart rate, and blood oxygen has been really interesting and amazing. With Samsung Health app, you can join step challenges, or even challenge friends. I can respond to messages, even Facebook messages. So much you can do with it. You can even download all kinds of custom watch faces and change with just a few clicks. Great battery life. I've gotten almost 3 full days on one full charge with WiFi and location on. Def worth it and glad I finally made the leap.

    One star less only because of the battery life. Otherwise this watch is a winner. Its beautiful, smooth and soft. The case is scratch resistance so it helps to change case cover. Plenty of band options available in market to match with your outfits. The text messages, emails, app notifications, call from watch work fine. I bought 44mm watch so it has a bigger screen size that is very helpful for emails and messaging. I would recommend this size for everyone. The watch is light weight. Samsung fitness app works fine with it and is very helpful. Samsung blood pressure needs to be setup and samsung wallet is very helpful to use while making payments. Samsung payment comes in the US version which is the one available thru BestBuy. Charge it everyday for 45-60 mins and it will be good. I recommend 44mm galaxy 5. Good value for money esp. since galaxy watch 6 will soon be available in market so watch 5's price will go down. Its better than Apple's. It can be used with any andriod phone. You are not comfined to the apple ecosystem.

    Returned Pixel Watch for the Watch 5 Pro

    |

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    TLDR version: I traded my recently purchased Pixel Watch for this Watch 5 Pro and it’s a massive improvement. I no longer watch the battery drain quickly every hour and don’t need to turn off features just to get through the day. I’m easily tracking sleep, exercise, and in general enjoying the watch itself. It’s a great design, fun to use, and looks great. It’s also a very good upgrade from my previous Samsung Watch 3. I do miss the rotating physical bezel, but the digital bezel functions extremely well. It’s a bit pricey, but I highly recommend it. Longer version: I purchased this watch after being massively disappointed about the Pixel Watch. Before the Pixel Watch, I was using a Samsung Gear 3. I really like the Gear 3 and have no major gripes. But for years, I patiently awaited the arrival of a true Google smartwatch. When they finally announced the Pixel Watch, I knew it was going to be great. Why wouldn’t it be? They’ve had years to observe other folks making great watches. But it finally came out, I read all about the concerns of battery life, small bezel, etc and grew concerned. Most of the complaints turned out to be unjustified, but the one major complaints that was true was the battery life. It is recommended that you give the battery a week to learn how you will use it. In what world is that acceptable? But I gave it a chance and it didn’t improve. Instead, like many others, I learned to compromise and turned things off like always on display, tilt to wake, Google assistant, etc. Once I learned I would have to compromise, I decided I needed to return it. Although there wasn’t anything wrong with my Gear 3 (which I had attempted to replace with the Pixel Watch), I still wanted to upgrade it, so I opted for the Watch 5 Pro and no regrets so far. It looks great and runs smoothly. And best of all, it still very much feels like a Google product with most of the Google integration now that it runs Wear OS. The stock watch band that comes with it is actually very nice. It has a magnetic clasp which feels premium. Best of all, I’m not compromising on features with this watch by turning things off just to stretch battery life. I’m regularly getting 2+ days of battery without even considering putting it on charger. And usually by the time I charge it 2+ days later, it could still go another day pretty easily. Whereas with the Pixel Watch I constantly checked battery life and barely used the thing, with the Watch 5 Pro, I’m regularly using it and don’t feel the need to check battery nearly as much. I didn’t intend to make this a review about how this was much better than the Pixel Watch, but considering I returned my Pixel Watch to get this, I was hoping to maybe save some folks the hassle/disappointment that I experienced and encourage you to just get what I feel is the better watch.

    I have owned and used exclusively Samsung watches since 2013 and this is the best one I've owned for several reasons. The battery life has consistently been the best while also having the most robust tech advances of any of the previous renditions. GPS is quite accurate when active and the activity auto detection actually works on this device. The only significant problem is the OEM watch band gets filthy really easily and stinks requiring you to clean it often. However it is very comfortable to wear.
