I TOUGHT IT WAS BIGGER BUT IS A GREAT SMARTWATCH !

Best upgrade they have done so far. Love this watch!

I have about 4 different “smart” watches. The oldest being about 4 years old. Technology hasn’t changed that much between the oldest and the Samsung Galaxy Pro watch. However, there are some small differences that make this watch better than the rest. Get the Pro series watch for the following reasons: - The battery life is better. I am getting about 3 to 4 full days usages before needing the charge. - Titanium watch clasp is worth it. Give the watch a premium feel - You’re able to see more on the watch. Other things I like about the Galaxy watch - There is an option for a sleep function which I think helps the battery life - Went swimming with the Galaxy and used the water lock function which works really well. - Syncing to my phone (Pixel 6) was simple and easy The biggest issue I have against smart watches in general is they don’t share the same changing adapter. You need to buy the specific changer for that watch. I think they should standardize it. Also the charge cable is USB type C. I understand why but would like it be to have USB C and A option (or a Y cable at least) Despite that, I love the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro series and would definitely recommend it.

Happy with purchase. Couldnt wait to gwt the watch.

It is great upgrade to the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4!!!

A gift for my husband He loved it! Would recommend

My father bought this about 2 months ago (Feb. 2024) for the ECG, heart rate and other health functions for monitoring his AFIB after getting a cardiac ablation...but has also liked being able to see what notifications and phone calls come in as he rarely keeps phone with him while at home. As he put it within the first month when going back into AFIB after the cardiac ablation..."as far as I'm concerned, it's already more than paid for itself. Without it, I probably wouldn't have known for at least another 4 to 6 months, if not longer" (and that was before finding out that additionally it could be written off as an out-of-pocket medical expense on his taxes...or going back into AFIB for a 2nd time now since getting it). For his health and my own peace of mind I've been trying for years to get him to look at something like this after initially going into AFIB; even one of those Kardia Mobile ECG units you see advertised because I never thought he'd even consider a smart watch. He finally spoke with a few cardiologists after going back into AFIB about 6 months ago (having unknowingly been out of sinus rhythm for around 5 months), and the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro was one of the top 2 or 3 recommendations because of their experience with accuracy in testing, and the data logs with graphing it creates for him to show his doctors (which the Kardia Mobile apparently wouldn't do, and the necessity of those data logs was emphasized to see the trend and history. The ECG testing has been near identical when tested against the ECG units at cardiologist office), and compared to the Galaxy Watch 6 this has a *much* longer battery life. Outside the health aspects my father uses it for (which was extremely easy to setup for him to be catered to his needs, plus set the parameters for when he'd get notifications of low/high ranged readings), as I'm the one who sets up any new device and am the family go-to any IT/network/device/computer issues...there is *a lot* packed into this watch! This was the first smart watch I've ever handled/tinkered with. If I could afford it, I'd definitely get one of these for myself. Beyond the initial guided setup, it's very easy to set whatever functionality facet to your liking, has loads of default or free customizations from the Google Play Store, and could nearly replace your phone in most aspects while working in tandem *with* your phone. Whether you're looking to get this as a regular smart watch or anything health related, from gym workouts or hiking/cycling/etc to using for heart rate or AFIB...I'd 110% recommend this (if you like hiking, cycling or most outdoors activities, the GPS functions seem like they could be a big added bonus). The only downside has been that blood pressure monitoring isn't available in the U.S. because that aspect hasn't been FDA approved yet (hopefully some day in the not-too-distant future)

The watch did not have a charging mechanism, nor was it easy to follow the instructions for use.

Purchased as a gift for family member. He is very pleased with this watch. The sporty look is also a plus.

Worst experience in the entire world i would never recommend anyone to ever go to Best Buy and purchase anything. Best Buy is a horrible company that could careless about customers. It is absolutely a horrible company.

I love the look and features amd the compatibility to my phone and other products

the watch itself is pretty good. however the band could be of a higher quality

Battery life isnt that great, my battery on the galaxy watch was better

All around good watch it has everything I need so I am happy with it

Nice watch, Use it for steps. Not the easiest to figure out.

It got stolen the first day i had gotten it. Suxh a waste

Good but I miss my 4, The functionality was perfect

It's called the Galaxy Watch5 Pro, but I feel like it's a marketing gimmick to broaden the potential market for it. Using Samsung's own naming conventions, I would call it the Galaxy Watch 5 Plus, or Galaxy Watch5 Ultra if I'm being generous. Battery Its standout feature for the average user is its larger battery, which delivers on battery life. With Always On Display on, Wi-Fi on, Bluetooth on, heart rate measured every 10 minutes, An hour of streaming video played via the Samsung Internet app, Internet browsing, notifications, sleep tracking with snore detection on, using the flashlight a few times, several hours of GPS use (if I had to guess I'd say 3 hours), and 1 hour of working out on the elliptical, I got 2 days and 10 hours of battery life, enough to get 3 nights of sleep tracking because I started wearing it in the evening that I got the watch. So that was night 1. Then I was able to sleep with it for the next 2 nights. The 3rd night was a close call because the watch warned me that my watch won't last the night to sleep track. It was wrong. With normal use: Always On Display off, Wi-Fi on, Bluetooth on, heart rate measured every 10 minutes, no streaming video, light internet browsing (checking up on US Open scores), GPS use (about 3 hours), and 1 hour of working out on the elliptical, I got 2 days and 23 hours. So I would say it's safe to use intensively to still last you the day without the slightest worry of needing a charge. Charging the watch takes a little over one hour using the stock charging puck. However, charging it with the Samsung Duo charger takes about 4 hours. Evidently, the Duo charger doesn't take advantage of the Watch5 Pro's fast charging. My Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra's reverse charging also charges at the pace of 4 hours for a full charge. Unfortunately, the Watch5 Pro's included watch band, the sports D-band, doesn't play nice with wide/long chargers because of its no-gap style that won't allow the watch to lay flat near the Watch5 Pro itself. The D-band also doesn't opento expose the bottom of the watch like a traditional band. Think of a Rolex watch band. It only opens via the clasp. You can't really push the band aside to expose the bottom of the watch to charge because the material is too stiff. Style and comfort It looks a lot like the Galaxy Watch5 (and Watch4 for that matter) expect that it's thicker, with a raised capacitive bezel. It kind of reminds me of a wrist compass. I think if you're comfortable with wearing G-Shock watches, the thickness of the Galaxy Watch5 Pro will be no problem for you whatsoever. It looks worse in pictures than it actually is on your wrist, however it's going to look awkward on small wrists. Surprisingly, it doesn't feel as heavy as you'd think it would. Opting for titanium over stainless steel surely helped with that. I added a plastic case over the Watch5 Pro and it still doesn't feel that heavy to me. I had no issues sleeping with it like others have, so your mileage may vary. I found the sports D-band too bulky and restrictive to my liking. It feels comfortable, but I guess the magnet adds weight, and it's very inconvenient to adjust the size on the fly since it's designed to set it up to a fixed size similar to the typical d-band style watch band with metal links. Fortunately, you can replace the watch band with most 20mm watch bands. Durability Unlike the regular Watch5 which has an aluminum body, the Watch5 Pro uses a titanium body so it's more durable. I accidentally brushed my Watch5 Pro against the metal door handle at a Planet Fitness as I was exiting and I panicked. But when I checked my watch, there were no scratches. So it survived that test. Like the regular Watch5, it also uses a sapphire crystal display. After a week's use I haven't found any scratches on it. The raised bezel prevents it from being a point of accidental contact. I have found the display to be kind of a fingerprint magnet though. Software The Watch 5 Pro comes with One UI version 4.5 which is based on WearOS 3.5, the latest iteration of both. Google Assistant comes preinstalled, but Samsung's own Bixby is still available. You can configure the top button's press and hold function to be assigned to either. Google Maps can give you turn-by-turn navigation but only via driving, walking, or cycling. Transit directions are still notably absent and will need to be done from your phone to appear on the Watch5 Pro. Many watchfaces allow the use of "complications" which are like widgets. For example, I use Samsung's My Photo+ watchface where not only do I use my own pictures, but I have the Battery %, Timer, Date and Weather, and Alarm complications set up. If I want to start a timer, I tap on the timer complication on my watchface and set the timer. Then on my watchface I can see the timer counting down in real time. The same goes with my alarm. I can set it up from my watchface then see the countdown from my watchface. It's extremely convenient. Health tracking It has everything the Watch 4 had: ECG, Stress, Body Composition. And it also still doesn't have blood pressure in the US. It can track your heart rate continously, where you can see what your current heart rate is in real time from the watch's heart rate panel, but you can't see the real time measurements graphed in the Samsung Health app. Instead it will show the range of your heart rate over a period of time. There is a temperature sensor on the Watch 5 series, but it hasn't been enabled yet. There is no word or even the slightest hint of when this feature will be enabled. It may be enabled close to the release of the Galaxy Watch 5's successor, the way Google Assistant became available on the Watch 4 short months before the announcement of the Watch 5. "Pro" features So aside from the larger battery, the features Samsung sets aside exclusively for the Watch 5 Pro to label it "Pro" are: -Routes: where you upload a GPX file of your route for turn-by-turn navigation. It explains the easiest way to upload a GPX file, which is to get it from your previous hikes or cycling tracked exercises from the Samsung Health app. So you will have to have gone through the route previously. But there are other ways to get a GPX file. You'll want to research that on your own because I won't have enough space in this review to explain them. -Track back: which is basically an extension of Routes. It's only available on the Hiking and Cycling exercises, and accessible from the exercise's options (gear icon) after you start the exercise. You won't want to start Track back until you reach the point in your route where it's time for you to turn back to your starting point. My issue with this is that it's like the crumbs of Hansel and Gretel, it will give you the same route you took to get there but in reverse. So if you were cycling in one-way traffic, this feature can be useless. And that's it. These are very niche features, and for the more seasoned adventurer, these Pro features may be lacking compared to the competition that were designed for the outdoors with longer battery life than the Watch 5 Pro. There's just way too little from the Watch 5 Pro to differentiate itself to be called a "Pro". Everything I love about the Watch5 Pro is available on the regular version. The biggest distinguisable feature is the longer lasting battery. It all comes down to your use case. If battery life was a problem for you with a smartwatch, the Watch5 Pro is definitely for you, and if you don't mind its thicker look, you'll love it. But for everyone else skip the Watch5 Pro. The Watch6 should have the worthy features to differentiate it from the standard Watch5 because the Watch5 Pro doesn't.

I bought this to have blood pressure measure but it does not do that i wasted my money on this. I wish that i checked the device before i bought it not only trusting on ads

This watch is for sure the one to get out of the watches they have right now. It has the best hardware, and battery life of anything they offer. I workout daily, and I'm pretty active for my age. This watch is great for that purpose, those that are somewhat more active than others. I have the Watch4, and it's great. However, it does not compare in battery life to this watch by a long shot. When I use my Watch4, I sometimes keep power saving on. This watch has beat that experience, and no power saving needed. I like the design of this watch, but it a little on the big size. I'm a big guy, so I like it. However, ladies you might want to go check it out in person first to test fit it. I banged up my Watch4 a few times, and it took a hit on the side. This watch is titanium, so I should be good in that area. It has the same size screen as my 4, and same internal specs nearly in every way. However, the ban on the watch is different. It might take some getting used to, and it uses a different clasp to keep it on your wrist. I'm still getting used to it as of right now. You can buy another ban though, as this is 20mm...so it's pretty standard that you would be able to find a more traditional ban if you want to. Overall, I like it...and it's for sure an upgrade on battery, that is the main thing i wanted. I got it. Only con so far, is that it did not auto pickup my workout this morning, my watch4 does it every time I workout. It did not record anything. Also had a little trouble reading my pressure. I'm sure this will resolve itself. Buy this one over the Watch5 if you need battery, and better hardware on the outside.
