A little background. I’ve had smartwatches, many with LTE, since they first arrived years ago. The Galaxy Watch was my favorite go-to watch from the beginning, and I always upgraded as new models were released. My annoyance flared when advertised capabilities were either missing or poorly implemented. In some cases, promised features never came to fruition, while other times they showed up but more than a year later. Because of this, a few years ago I decided to move to a Fossil Watch with LTE. One of the biggest draws for me was Fossil’s integration with Google Assistant. As someone heavily invested in the Google ecosystem, this one specific feature was a game changer for me. Even though I still like the Fossil, I decided to reverse course and give Samsung’s new Galaxy Watch 5 Pro a chance. At this writing, I am now using the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro Black LTE version. This is a top-notch flagship model that offers a ton of nice features, many in the health and fitness arena, and keeping in mind that my last Galaxy Watch was a model 3. In my opinion, this watch is aesthetically much nicer looking than previous versions of the Galaxy watch; it has a premium look and feel about it. As expected, the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro is also noticeably more expensive than the standard version, and by a wide margin. A big draw for me moving to the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro is its 80-hour battery. While I haven’t had this watch very long, thus far the battery has been pretty good. I gave it a full charge last night ending at 10:30pm, then kept it on my wrist throughout the night in bedtime(?) mode. I got out of bed around 6:30am and turned bedtime mode off. Overnight, the battery had dropped from 100% to 87%. Even though it wasn’t connected to my phone during that time period, it was connected to cellular. I used the watch throughout the day, including four 2-mile walks (which the watch considers exercise periods). I used the timer a bunch and checked the weather a good number of times. And don’t forget Google Assistant. At about 9pm that evening, remaining battery was 49%. Now, the watch face does support a good number of Complications, so I have to imagine that that impacts battery over time. There is something about the Watch 5 Pro’s watch band that I find very comfortable. It doesn’t pinch my wrist or grab my arm hair. And the band’s design makes it very easy to make minor size adjustments, unlike more traditional bands. On the downside, the band’s clasp which sits in the center of my wrist, started losing color immediately. There were scratch marks all over it, so much so that the underlying material was clearly visible. Fortunately, a black sharpie came to the rescue. I am pleased to say that the thickness of the watch turned out to be a non-issue. It doesn’t feel heavy to me, although I’m guessing that the light-weight titanium material is why. So, kudos to Samsung on a good choice of materials. Setting up the watch couldn’t have been easier - it was completed in just 40 minutes. This was followed by setting up the LTE portion. I was initially concerned that having my Fossil LTE already configured with my cellular provider would be a problem, but it only turned out to be a minor bump. I did have to rerun the LTE portion three times to remove the Fossil, but it eventually was removed from my phone company’s database and replaced with the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro. Easy-peasy! Here are some general observations about the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Watch is very attractive: People I’m chatting with will interrupt me and ask about the watch. They all seem to like the color, and the titanium look and feel. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The watch’s thickness: Yep, noticeably thicker but acceptably light. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Watch Band: Very comfortable to wear. I immensely like how adjustable it is. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Black Color: Very much to my liking. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ONE UI: It uses Samsung’s ONE UI Watch 4.5 atop Wear 3.5. (This is a big change from my Galaxy Watch 3 and my current Fossil, and I like it) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Watch Face: It’s a 1.4-inch super AMOLED with Sapphire crystal for protection ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Battery: Li-Ion 590 mAh. Per the specs good for 80 hours of use ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sensors: Accelerometer, gyro, heart rate, barometer, thermometer for your body temp ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wi-Fi: 802.11 a/b/g/n, dual-band ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bluetooth : Version 5.2, A2DP, LE ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GPS: Yes ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Internal Ram: 16GB ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rotating Bezel : Sadly, no more rotating bezel. Still, it hasn’t taken long to get used to sliding my fingertip around the screen’s edge ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Charger: It comes with a USB Type-C magnet charging puck, but lacks an actual charger -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The face of the Watch 5 Pro is lower than the bezel by a fraction of an inch, differing from other watches where the watch’s face is flush to the top of the bezel. This recessed placement is pretty shrewd. With as many times as I’ve accidently scratched/banged my watch going through a doorway, being recessed should protect the watch face from, well, me. In the beginning of this review, I alluded to how important Google Assistant is to me. I figured with Samsung and Google’s close relationship that Google Assistant integration was a given. Well, I couldn’t get G.A to work. Plus, one of my favorite features from the Galaxy Watch 3 was its SOS ability. That too didn’t seem to work. I was very unhappy. Yet, someone at Google or Samsung must have heard my grumbling and decided to sprinkle pixie-dust on the watch while I slept. Because in trying them again the next morning, both worked perfectly. Full disclosure on the SOS feature: to activate SOS to send out an alert message, it is necessary to press the home button super quick, like 3 or 4 times within a second. I admit part of the reason I couldn’t get it to activate earlier was because I was slow pressing the home button. With all the smartwatches I’ve used over the years, this is my all-time favorite. The screen is bright and very readable, and the watch is easy to set up and thus far to maintain. It handshakes transparently with my Samsung Fold 3 smartphone, and the Wear app sitting on the phone is well thought out. Hmm, I wonder if it supports the Audible app!

I love the Samsung watch. It's versatile and durable

This watch works well and does everything i need it to with ease.
