Great watch! Super durable. Great for exercising.

Its beautiful for someone looking for something bigger. Also,am a samsung person. The watch is great

Gave as a gift to my husband so he can track his recovery from surgery. Great for steps, sleep, and having emergency contact even when phone isn't in his pocket. Still a lot to explore!

Really nice watch, smart, professional, comfortable, looks nice and gets a lot of compliments.

Great watch very durable better than galaxy watch 6.

Right now work great i like it just its expensive almost same pro 6 price Only thing you don't have choices for the belts

Very good smartwatch, very sophisticated and lasts a long time, I would not change Samsung for anything in the world

Great watch. It has long battery life. Looks great

It is very good. Battery is good. The apps which comes with it is good. The Health app is very good

Battery life is top notch! 3 days of usage is not bad

Great smart watch. Very comfortable. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Easy to set up and use. Lots of features including automatic exercise tracking. And let's face it, answering your phone from your wrist is just plain cool. Charge lasts about 3 days which is less than the full week I got with my old tracker. All in all, very happy with this replacement for my old Fitbit Charge 5.

I love this watch. I had the Galaxy 3 and this is a major upgrade from that one

Love this watch. I wear it all day and only need to charge every 3 to 4 days. Very durable too, considering my line of work.

Comfortable, intuitive, does everything i need for heath and information

Have not worn a watch in 20 years. i needed one for vitals. I had just purchased 2 phones from BEST BUY. Thanks to Rubin at the Huntsville,Al store. I was so impressed with him I called for advice on the watch. I made another 100 mile round trip for it. He installed the apps I needed. I really like this watch.

This is a great watch. I never in the past keep a watch on while sleeping. This has not been a problem.

The best item i have spent on in a longtime. Very easy to navigate and the design is superb.

Great product, a little heavy but compensate with all the features and the sitlysh look, battery life improved.

I am a big fan of smartwatches, Google Wear OS ones in particular. Quick and easy access to text and email notifications is a must for me (oh, and I guess showing the time as well). I have owned two smart watches over the past 5 years, and while their features have improved with each new watch, the biggest problem I have run into is declining battery life. My first one, which was one of the first Android Wear 2.0 (precursor to Wear OS) watches, barely made it to a year before had to charge it mid-day to make it to the end of the day. Eventually, I got tired of charging twice a day, and upgraded to one from big fashion watch brand name. That one has been great, very stylish (with a metal band), and had brought to me new features I was wanting (heart rate monitor, NFC payments, etc.). Alas, after 3 years, the battery life started degrading as well, to the point during the past I wouldn't really wear it unless I was about to leave the house since it would barely last 10, maybe 12 hours (even as much as I really wanted to wear it all the time). I was planning to upgrade to the latest version of that brand, but I unintentionally waited long enough that and new version of smartwatch from a different brand came out. Luckily, that brand was one of my favorite brands (Samsung), and that was the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro. With the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro, instead of using the Wear OS app on my phone to connect and control, it uses the Samsung Wearable app, which after connecting to the watch, it prompts to install Galaxy Watch5 plugin. While it is slightly different from the Wear OS App, it is evident that the Wearable/Galaxy Watch5 plugin is based on it (evident if you've had previous experience with the Wear OS App). One nice thing about the Wearables/Galaxy Watch5 plugin is that pretty much every setting on the watch is exposed in the app on the phone. And some settings/features are only available on the app, such as rearranging the right-swipe tiles or rearranging the watch app list. Updating the watch faces and their settings are simple in the app as well. Honestly, I had stayed away from Samsung smartwatches as I preferred Wear OS, and up until the Galaxy Watch 4, they didn't use it. With the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro, they introduce Watch OS 3.5, with their One UI 4.5 interface. I will say this a big change (mostly improvements) over the Wear OS 2.8 my previous watch was using. The 2.8 version and the previous watch itself had been fine for me but pairing up 3.5 with some additional sensors and other available functionality, the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro has really distanced itself. While I didn't have a chance to try out the newest watch of my old brand to see all the improvements with it, I don't care about that anymore. Some of the gestures are different, so it took a little while to get used to it (I was used to swiping from the bottom to view notifications, but now need to swipe from the right. Access to the apps is much improved, with a condensed icon-only display (basically 3 columns), swiping up to view (and get to) more quickly. My old watch had a rotating post to turn to go through the list, that was listed one at a time (but with titles), it took a little longer to get to the apps. As a note, most notifications from apps are turned off initially on the watch. To turn notifications on, will need to go through the app list in the Wearables app and turn on desired notifications. If desired, there is a setting to turn on notifications for newly installed apps. I was pleased that I could set Google Wallet (formerly Google Pay) as the default tap to pay app (I've never used Samsung Pay and really didn't want to). And I was able set up Google Fit for use (same thing there, never used Samsung Health, only Google Fit, although there are some features that are only in Samsung Health I use, such as the Body composition). One thing I have an issue with so far with the OS side is that when I perform an action on a notification (such delete, confirmation, etc.), it buzzes my phone (even with "silence notifications on my phone" selected, which I always use as well as Do Not Disturb always active on my phone). Also, if you don't have a Samsung Galaxy phone, you will not be able to use the ECG watch app as it required the Samsung Health Monitor app, which is only available from the Samsung Galaxy store, which itself is only available on Galaxy phones. I do have a Galaxy tablet, but the watch can only connect to one device at a time. One other thing I ran into, the watch prompted to do a watch software Update. I proceeded with it but seem to be stuck on the Copying Update (after the Downloading Update was completed). I went into Settings > Software update to initiate the process again. The first time it still had issues in the Copying update portion. I tried again, but this time, I tapped on the Galaxy Watch5 Manager notification on my phone, and this time it was able to complete the copy process. Then, had to tap Install Now on the watch to complete. The overall design is very nice! It is lightweight (especially compared to my previous watch), with a titanium case with Sapphire crystal glass so it will last (I haven't been worried enough to buy a screen protector yet). The watch is a little bit thicker than what I was used to with my previous watch (3-4mm thicker), but part of that is the raised rim (that, when the setting is turned on, can be used to scroll through the content being displayed buy running a finger along the curved inside edge). The width, which some may find quite large, is about the same as my previous watch, so I am used to it. The silicone band is nice and comfortable, and completely adjustable to the perfect fit (unlike being limited on the fit based on how the metal links came out on my previous). I really like the magnetic titanium closure, although it is a little thicker than the closure on my previous metal band but have gotten used to it. It does have two buttons, the Home Key and Back Key (top and bottom buttons respectively when worn on the left wrist). Both can have their function changed. The Home Key actually has two activations - Press and hold and Double press. The Press and hold can be set to open Bixby, Google Assistant, or the Power off menu. Double press can be to go to the most recent app, as specific app, or Accessibility shortcuts. For the Back Button, it is a single-press that can go to the previous screen (same as a swipe from left) or Sho recent apps. It also will silence the vibration (and assumingly the watch ringtone) on an incoming call (without "dismissing" the call). And like most mobile devices (watches, phones, wireless earbuds), it is water-resistant up to 5 feet for up to 30 minutes. I don't plan on swimming in it, but at least I don't have to take it off when doing the dishes. OK, you've probably been wondering about the battery life since I mentioned quite a bit about that at the beginning. With a 590mAh battery (which is the main reason why I went with the Pro), I no longer have to worry about it lasting through the day. Typically, from 7:30am to about 11:30pm, it will get down to 75% on the first day. That is mainly with quite a few notifications throughout the day, no sounds, and with the blood pressure check every 10 minutes. I don't wear it to sleep (so haven't attempted to use any of the sleep-related functions in Samsung Health), but I have been leaving it off the charger overnight after the first day. After the second day of similar use, it has been getting down to about 30% still left. Now, I normally don't do a whole lot with any apps on the watch for the most part, so I'm not using it to be the source of music or tracking a physical activity (walk or jog with GPS), but it is nice to know I can and still last as long as I need it to. I have tried a few things out that I normally wouldn't do to see what the battery performance was like. A couple of times, I played music from the watch (mp3's one time and then using Spotify) with my Galaxy Buds 2 connected. As expected, it did use a little more, but only around 1% every 9-10 minutes. The only time it used quite a bit of battery was when I did the software update, but at least it didn't completely wipe out the battery. As you can see, so far, the battery life has been excellent, but only time will tell how long that will keep up. Also, be aware that the charging cable plugs into a USB-C port, so you may have to buy something if you don't have an extra USB-C charging adapter lying around (we only have four, and those are all used around the house for other purposes). I ended up having to buy a replacement 6-outlet, Surge protector that had a USB-C port since my other one only had 2 USB-A. So far, the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro has definitely changed my thoughts about what my favorite watch brand is, moving into the top spot. Now, they just need to put some polish on the App to make everything just about perfect.
