This is my 3rd Samsung watch. My first was a Gear S3, second was a Watch 3 and now a Watch5 Pro. I can honestly say that the watch has gotten better with each iteration. I was initially worried about this purchase as it contained the removal of the front face dial that served as a functional slider essentially, but I now feel that my worry wasn't warranted. I believe if the watch was equal or less responsive than the Watch 3 then the removal of the dial would be an issue, but I am proud to say that the Watch5 Pro is much more responsive, especially when receiving a notification. I used the dial mostly to initiate the viewing of notifications that delayed in displaying. Notifications are much faster to load and the viewing of those notifications are much easier for ... MoreThis is my 3rd Samsung watch.

I used the dial mostly to initiate the viewing of notifications that delayed in displaying. Notifications are much faster to load and the viewing of those notifications are much easier for someone with aging eyes (I am far sighted and do wear medium strength reading glasses). I think most of the software benefits has come from the move from Tizen to Wear OS. One thing that stands out to me is the texting capability on the watch itself. It was about impossible on my older Watch 3 but on the Watch5 Pro it has the swipe texting which works very well so it is a huge step forward in this area. The battery is another big improvement although I will say the Samsung line of watches have always had much better battery life than other watches, but with the Watch5 Pro the battery life is not in days a required everyday charge. Obviously if you use the always on display you will have a couple of days life vs not using always on display will allow double that (depending on notifications and workouts also.) The last major upgrade I will mention is the D-Buckle band (this is one of the band options when purchasing.) If you are like me and very particular about the amount of pressure and location of your watch, then this band is the one for you. I think of it like a belt that uses holes to achieve the proper tightness, but one hole is too tight and one hole over is too loose. This band eliminates that issue and is by far the best band I have ever had on a watch. I have been using the Watch5 Pro for a couple of months and I have no buyer's remorse at all.

I'm uncertain how this reassessment will be beneficial since I am not disputing the fact that water entered the watch. It is clear to me that the watch does not meet the claimed IP68 rating and is not suitable for its intended purpose.In my opinion, no one should have to endure these frustrating ordeals. It would be better for consumers to avoid purchasing a product that fails to meet its intended purpose. I feel like I have wasted both my money on the watch and the extended coverage.Overall, while Samsung has consistently impressed me with their other products, my experience with the Galaxy watch has been disappointing, primarily due to the poor build quality and the unsatisfactory warranty claim process.

Inside the box, there are: a smartwatch, two-tone sport band (a.k.a. silicone band), quick start guide, and ice hockey puck-shaped charger. It has a titanium case and sapphire crystal glass that makes extra durable. A 1.4-inch Super AMOLED is fantastic, whether in terms of color, brightness, or refresh rate. To my surprise, this smartwatch earned the "MIL-STD-810G" certification. In many ways, Galaxy Watch5 Pro is the same smartwatch as its predecessor, the Galaxy Watch 4-series. It automatically detects outdoor activities - hiking, walking, swimming, and running, just to name a few. By the way, this smartwatch only pairs with a Samsung Galaxy phone and the Samsung Health app. For the past 14-days, I have been using it, and guess what?

This is just another average android smartwatch.Samsung claims Sapphire Crystal display and Titanium frame make this watch "stylish and elegant," but I beg to differ. I find the black Titanium frame to be reminiscent of other smartwatches on the market. Galaxy Watch5 Pro is not equipped with a loud siren to alert others in the area, in case a wearer gets lost somewhere in the back country and needs help. I do not believe Wear OS 3 is programmed to handle L1 and L5 GPS signals. A 590 mAh battery lasts an average of 55 hours on a 100% charge (every notification turned on, checking e-mails, answering just about every phone call, receiving & replying texts, daily regular exercises – walking and running). As for distance accuracy, it is somewhat close, but not in the same league as other smartwatches with dual-frequency GPS. Do not expect auto "night display mode" for better visibility at night time. Worse, the physical rotating bezel that has been a staple on Samsung Galaxy smartwatches for years is no longer available. A virtual touch bezel around the screen to navigate between menus and options does NOT work well, especially if fingers are wet. No wonder why some Galaxy Watch5 Pro wearers are saying, "…worthless piece of…" you get the idea. Bottom line: This smartwatch is stocky and expensive. Yet, it is not intended for back country adventures or water sports, including recreational scuba diving.Made in Vietnam.
This was an upgrade from my ancient Gear S3 and boy was I disappointed.The way in which this watch pairs with and requires a smartphone to operate properly is utterly obnoxious, inconvenient and really defeats the purpose of having LTE. This is no more obvious than in the maps/navigation feature. When the watch and the phone are paired and able to communicate (i.e. flight mode is off), the maps app on the watch will force you to run the comparable google maps app on the phone. You can't tell it to simply navigate using its own GPS or independently of the phone, unless you turn the phone off or put it to flight mode.This became a serious problem when I needed to navigate somewhere, didn't have my phone, and then, when trying to use the watch maps app, was ... MoreThis was an upgrade from my ancient Gear S3 and boy was I disappointed.The way in which this watch pairs with and requires a smartphone to operate properly is utterly obnoxious, inconvenient and really defeats the purpose of having LTE. This is no more obvious than in the maps/navigation feature. When the watch and the phone are paired and able to communicate (i.e. flight mode is off), the maps app on the watch will force you to run the comparable google maps app on the phone. You can't tell it to simply navigate using its own GPS or independently of the phone, unless you turn the phone off or put it to flight mode.This became a serious problem when I needed to navigate somewhere, didn't have my phone, and then, when trying to use the watch maps app, was repeatedly told to check my phone to confirm. I couldn't do this because I had left my phone at home. Fortunately I was able to use my own familiarity with the area to get where I needed to go.This leads to the crux of my complaint. If this is watch is capable of navigating independent of the phone, which it is, and I need it to, then it should be able to. What would have happened if I were lost, in a life-or-death situation for which I needed navigation on my phone, only to be told repeatedly by my watch "please check your phone" and refusing access to the maps app? I'd be dead, that's what.I didn't spend $700 on the model with LTE only for it to be hopelessly slaved to the primary phone. If I have credit, and I've allowed data access, it should just navigate when I tell it to. I shouldn't have to turn the phone off or jump through other hoops to make it work the way I want to. I certainly shouldn't have to call someone who lives at my house and say "Hey can you go into my room and turn my phone off because Samsung has developed a device with pretentious and unusable features meaning I can't find where I'm meant to be driving to."What could otherwise be a lifesaving feature is instead crippled by bloatware and corporate partnerships with Alphabet. Also while we're on the subject; I wore the watch for a week, backed up the Samsung health data and then changed phones. The app stated "backed up successfully" but the data was nowhere to be seen on the new phone. Spotify is rubbish as well, not being able to play on the watches speaker, throws errors when I try to download music for offline listening and doesn't even present my headphone as a playback option despite just pairing with them in that very app.There are probably other faults of a similar nature but I completely lost interest in using other apps after these issues cropped up. I give this watch two stars because generally it works and is useable for its fundamental purpose of calls and texts but these design decisions are terrible. Just make a watch that does its job.

Buyer beware. This needs to be paired to a phone. If you are looking for a smartwatch with it's own phone number WITHOUT needing a phone to manage it this is not it. Even if this watch gets it's own phone number you are forced to pair it to a smartphone where all your phone information is shared. That feature makes it NOT STAND ALONE. I was led to believe I could buy this watch for young person so they could have an easy way to make calls or texts in an emergency. This watch will not act like a phone on your wrist without jumping through major hoops. If I have to connect it to a smart phone then why do I need this watch? If this smartwatch is LTE capable then why do I have to share my personal information by linking it to my smartphone just to buy someone a gift. ... MoreBuyer beware.

Basically to use this smartwatch as a true phone with gps tracking for a young person your going to have to get it it's own phone number (which is fine and makes total sense) but ALSO have a smartphone active that manages and shares info with the watch. I wish I knew this ahead of time and was not misled about how the smartwatch functioned. It makes a horrible gift as all the extra steps needed to make it work are just not worth it. And to whoever uses the smartwatch to tell them they had a horrible nights sleep. I find it ridiculous you need a $500 spouse attached to your wrist to tell you you snored last night. This device is being misrepresented and a waste of money. I am writing this review to help someone like myself from wasting $500. It was hard to find the true information about this smartwatch without purchasing it and going through the hoops I described above.
I recently decided to trade my 44mm Watch 4 for the Watch 5 Pro because I thought it would be good to have the extended battery life, and because the body sensors were supposed to be more accurate. Samsung was offering a decent trade in allowance, making the cost relatively inexpensive. So far I'm not impressed.With the settings I was using with my Watch 4, I was already getting about 40 hours on a full charge. That meant that, starting at 100%, I could wear it through the day and night, keep it on while going for my 2 mile morning walk, and still have about 50% left when I got back. I would then charge it while showering in the morning and then repeat. I never felt like the battery was inadequate. It would be nice to not have to charge it every morning, but time ... MoreI recently decided to trade my 44mm Watch 4 for the Watch 5 Pro because I thought it would be good to have the extended battery life, and because the body sensors were supposed to be more accurate.

It would be nice to not have to charge it every morning, but time will tell if the battery life really is better. I really hate the D-Buckle band that came with this watch. It is hard to adjust to the precise size, it causes the watch to sit too high to effectively use by charging pad duo, and is more difficult to put on the watch than my other bands. Fortunately I have bands from my Watch 4 that I will be using instead.Other than that I don't see any real functional differences impacting the way I use my watch. The only real difference that I notice is that it is about twice as thick as my prior watch and noticeably heavier. It was an impulse buy to "upgrade" because I wanted the titanium body and larger battery, plus I liked having a more protective edge around the display. Still, I am hoping I won't regret having made this change, or not waiting until the next iteration at least.
Having had used the Samsung Galaxy Watch5 Pro for just under a week, it is safe to say that I am extremely pleased with the results.Whilst unboxing the watch, I immediately loved the clean, polished and simple yet elegant look of the watch. On my relatively average sized wrist the 44mm watch face looks rather large, however, I am a fan of the real watch look it gives.The watch was relatively easy to set up to my phone, which isn't a Samsung. I had to download a Galaxy watch plugin as well as the Galaxy Wearable app, to ensure compatibility with my phone. After that the watch went through all the options to set it up. I only came across one problem when setting up and personalising my watch, this was with Samsung Pay not the watch itself.

I only came across one problem when setting up and personalising my watch, this was with Samsung Pay not the watch itself. Samsung Pay doesn’t except some Bank cards (like Metro bank) so I thought I wasn’t going to be able pay from my watch. However, after some playing about I realised you could download app directly onto the watch, therefore I downloaded Google pay and set up my payment. Also, unfortunately due to not having a Samsung phone, I am unable to download the Samsung Health Monitor which means I cannot use the Blood pressure and ECG feature on the watch.The watch was perfect to take to the gym, as it has a plethora of work-out options to fit with the form of exercise that you choose. The watch tracked the precise measurements of treadmill including the speed and the calories expended. Whilst using the weights the watch track my heart rate to convert into calories expenditure.The watch also has a sleep tracker function, which tracks the length of sleep and splits the sleep into stages: Awake, REM, Light and Deep. It also records any snoring/ noise and tracks blood oxygen during sleep. These are quite interesting to explore and find out how to improve sleep.Through-out the day, I only charge the watch for 30/45mins maximum and the battery will last through the night and next day. If I am not too active with recording/tracking exercise the watch will only lose 30% charge over 24 hours and when active it will lose 50%. The fast charging and long battery life are so impressive and extremely helpful for someone who is always on the move.
My old Samsung Galaxy Wearable was the Galaxy Watch 3, which I was a big fan of but I wanted to upgrade and the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro was something that greatly appealed to me with it's improvements in both the hardware and software departments.The first striking thing about this Smart Watch is it's aesthetic design. The Titanium build is instantly noticeable and compared to the Aluminium chassis of my previous model, I really can notice a difference.

The Titanium build is instantly noticeable and compared to the Aluminium chassis of my previous model, I really can notice a difference. In addition to the solid Titanium body, having a sapphire screen adds even more safety in regards to durability of this wearable. Another big upgrade from the Gorilla Glass on my previous model.I have to say how impressed I am with the included D Buckle strap. The magnet works fantastically well, very easy to adjust, and never comes undone, even during vigorous hiit workouts or playing sports. The quality of the strap is great and both looks smart while being extremely comfortable for activity, and the colour really matches the Grey Titanium body of the watch.The new Google Wear Operating System is something I was eager to try, having always been used to Samsung's own Tizen OS which had been ever present on my previous wearables.But I am delighted with the software on this watch. Having access to Google Pay, You Tube music and Google Maps has taken the functionality of this watch, for me, to a whole different level, to what was previously possible for me with previous Samsung devices. The user interface is much more friendly, as well as looking a lot better on the eye. The widgets are great and the pre-installed selection of watch faces and integrated personalisation of those is fantastic. With the ability to download hundreds more, there really is something for whatever I fancy and mood I am in.The improved health tracking was a big selling point for me. Body Composition to easily keep tabs on my body fat and mass is great and allows a much more regular and up to date progress report of how I'm getting on. The sleep tracking improvements are also noticeable and the battery life has impressed me aswell. Easily getting 2 full days and nights before needing a charge. But even when charging has been required, it reaches 100% in no time at all.All in all, absolutely thrilled I have upgraded and would highly recommend it to anyone thinking about getting one.
