Generationally, the Galaxy Watch 5 isn’t a huge upgrade, but thanks to continually capable health and activity tracking features and an easy-to-use interface, Samsung’s latest remains the best Android smartwatch around. Samsung’s outdoor-minded Watch 5 Pro isn’t that different from its counterpart. Aside from a larger screen, bigger battery and more durable glass, in terms of applications it offers few upgrades from the Watch 5. Still, with its rugged build and the company’s capable wellness-tracking software, the Watch 5 Pro is an excellent Android smartwatch for those who don’t mind big wrist wear.

I am having problems with ECG trying to download Samsung Health. i talked to Samsung and they told me the ECG only works with Samsung phones. Has anyone gotten the ECG to work with non Samsung Android phones
You should do a video of apple watch since is all you mentioned in this video instead of the actual watch you are supposed review, and had no idea what are you talking about.
Great video awesome review I have the watch 5 pro and I love it paired it to my fold 4 and the mke Great companions
You sleep only 3.5 hours a day wtf
Can I receive and send text messages and call and receive phone calls and is there also an option for the music player
Does it have always on display?
People overlook the Bluetooth 5.2 on the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro over the 5.0 on the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4. I use to get allot of disconnects from the 4 but on the 5 I have not had a single disconnect. Just my two cents.
Thank you for this review.
One of the worst and apple centric reviews I have ever seen in my life.
Btw which size is watch 5 u wear?
Galaxy watch 5 is a mistake and 5 pro is the final version due to its nits.
While I lime the Samsung watches, I'll be sticking with my Huawei with it's 2 week battery life.
You didn't mention if call audio quality for the caller and person answering they the watch. My gear S3 call quality was much better than the watch 4. Everyone could barely hear what I was saying not could I hear them
It's a nonsense and crap watch don't fall into the trap of Samsung their products are useless and service is pathetic my watch has stopped working since last 15days and samsung does not care a F
Damn watch looks like a brick on your wrist as you're not that petite.
I mainly use this for going out and checking time nothing else. Set it on airplane ✈️ mode ,it can last 2-3days without charging. Lol
The apple watch sleep tracking is horrible for sure! I work night shifts and my apple watch tells me that I was asleep for 8 hours of my shift. I wish! 😅
Worthless listening to her perspective. Ugh
Looks like I am keeping my Samsung Gear S3 Frontier. I like my rotating bezel and the underside is flat – no marks and comfortable. It links to my Nokia Smart Scale and fitness apps. I'm still not seeing anything I NEED to upgrade for … and I like the chunky look of the older one and not this girls looking sports watch it's now morphed into.
didnt mention texting or phone call features at all
A smartwatch that isn't smart. The selection of applications in the Samsung store is disastrous, half of the applications are things that resemble tamagochi, but you can't download telegram, viber, etc. to a smart watch with GSM and wifi 👎😒
Omg the fake tone of the voice on this video really distracts from the review. Go get an acting job.
can you make a phone call on the watch and does it have google pay app
I don't like reviews from Apple people because it's hard for them not to be biased
You lost all credibility at "the best non-Apple smart watch".
I dont get the sleeping tracker function. Why u need to know if u had a bad sleep is the watch going to help you have a better sleep?
Why No one is talking about the screen burn in!!!
If you keep the AOD on it will have screen burn in in less than a day !!!
4 and 5 feel cheap. Gen 3 hands down still the BEST.
