[@andreasb4kken]

Yes, the Samsung watches are the best thing on the Android side. Especially if you have a Samsung Phone (sms and email app). And while it does typically last longer the usability, or "user-friendlyness", still isn't on par with the Apple Watch. I think that's largely thanks to the square"er" screen as well though. It's simply better at displaying stuff. Also, I've never gotten more than around two days of battery life on my Samsung watches. They can last for four days, if you use them more lightly. The Apple Watch 4 didn't care what I did (except if I was using eSIM) but carried on to last for about two workdays.

[@joshuamawango8460]

Responding to 7:44, as an android user, Samsung to be precise, i use the galaxy watch, amd i don't think there is anything better out there. The galaxy store is limited in terms of 3rd party apps but Samsung already provides all the essentials, which are already good enough for me. To name a few features, standalone appstore, always on display, sleep tracking, multiple day battery life, decent fitness tracking features, auto workout detection, water resistance, samsung pay, stress level monitoring, spotify, ability to control other smart devices in the house etc. I still don't understand why they say the series 5 is "way ahead" of the pack, other than in terms of sales volume. Kindly balance me here🤷🏾‍♂️ I mean, the casing is stainless steel as standard, no need to pay extra for better materials!

[@taotuhao5969]

Completely Agree, no way is an Apple watch better than any of the latest Samsung Galaxy or Gear watches. As you have mentioned, we have all of these features already. Apple is just catching up and attempting to make the world believe that they were first.

[@hdttyson]

You've already said it: 3rd party Apps.

[@Jaycee3]

Just to piggy back on this, I can text back using the Samsung Gear being paired to my Pixel. Also, the watch has a third party watch face that works for me: it has the weather temp, date, steps count and battery %. It also has colors on ambient mode. It's like the reviewer trashed everyone else without doing research.

[@tomcaswell1529]

“Your watch doesn’t need to be refreshing that often when you’re not looking at it.” Correct. You could say it actually doesn’t need to be on at all. I never understood why people needed an always-on screen. When you’re not looking at it, it’s schrodinger’s watch. It’s both and off at the same time.

[@TheYooToob2000]

For the exact reason he described. You can't glance at your watch to see the time without raising it up in an obvious way. Think sitting at a conference table in a meeting for example.

[@TylerINFOCUS]

TheYooToob2000 you can move the Digital Crown and you can see the time that way as well

[@natashastarlight]

Get a Galaxy watch if you are on Android. 3 day battery. An always on display. Innovative rotating bezel. 5ATM water resistant (50 meters). Good software. Text message and calling support. Internet browsing. Sleep tracking. And all the other things you would expect to find in an apple watch. (with the exception of an ECG which is only on the watch active 2) The only flaw is that it's app ecosystem is much more limited. Also worth knowing is that the software has received a bit of an overhaul so it won't look the same or have the icons or animations as the review videos

Series 5 is better because...its better! Honestly; this video did not offer any compelling arguments as to why this particular smartwatch is better than its predecessor. Dieter summarised the video perfectly by saying that it's a very minor update. I like your enthusiasm for the brand and product, but please don't lead consumers into thinking that it's ok to pay 400 dollars for something that essentially did not change at all. A reviewer should take a critical stance between company and consumer and not let their enthusiasm/love for the brand cloud their judgement. You are a reviewer, not a sales rep!

Apple undersells the actual battery life, I have a Series 3 which is two years old, and even after being used all day every day I get almost 3 days use on a single charge (uses 30-40% every 24 hours). I also use a third party sleep tracker every night.

[@numspacsym]

Good review but you didn’t even mention the increased storage capacity (now 32 GB on both the cellular and non-cellular models as compared to 16/8 GB on the series 4 cellular and non-cellular models respectively). That means more apps, more songs, more audiobooks without cellular service or data charges. I think that’s an important thing to consider if you’re trying to decide whether or not to upgrade.

Anthony ogegbene he was actually. By saying “welcome” it’s insinuating that the Apple Watch is joining the competition versus that watch. Apple is so far ahead in the watch market that there is no competition. Despite features that other watches have, when it gets added to the Apple Watch it’s just a bonus to something that’s already amazing and when Apple adds it the feature actually works really well and in a clever way. Just like an always on display that’s color and a LTPO screen to save battery life. It’s really smart.

[@AMalas]

Have you even been near a Galaxy watch? No sleep tracking? Really?! How about 4 day battery with everything on, including a coloured AOD with a smooth continuous dial?

@@gewdvibes the real question is why does it take Apple so long to implement simple features into their devices. When Android has had them for years and when Apple finally gets them you Apple fan boys act like it's the best thing ever...😒

[@gewdvibes]

Dorenda Standifer yea that’s why the Apple Watch is outselling every single android watch dozens of times over. Hmm I wonder why people aren’t getting android watches if they’re so ahead of Apple Watch 🤔 maybe it’s because they’re NOT ahead of the Apple Watch. The reason Apple takes longer is because they implement it the right way, I bet your LG watch doesn’t have variable refresh rate, low power consumption, dims when not raised, etc. Apple literally created an entirely new OLED technology just for this Apple Watch

[@Reneg8d_Locs]

@@gewdvibes I don't have an LG Watch! 😂 I only buy Samsung Products. I'm still confused as why you think the Apple watch is ahead even tho they are using old technology and calling it new.

Purchase one for my wide and I three days ago. LOVE THEM!!! We’re still playing with them, trying to figure out all of the features.

[@davidkristof]

I have a series 2 right now. But after the wwwdc I preordered the series 5. The always on screen is something that I was hoping for the Apple Watch since forever. I’m super excited

[@joshritter6281]

You know what else has an always on display? A real watch.

[@joseolvera9287]

I never had an Apple Watch ever in my life but I feel like getting the series 5 in a couple of weeks :)

[@sidwahi773]

Ummm. Would love for them to see the gear s3 again and then compare.... gear has had so many of these features well before series 5

[@thakursachin]

Agreed. My Samsung Gear Sport has 3-4 days battery life and does most of what this review says about Apple watch. There's not a single explanation in this review how Apple watch is way better.

[@mmzmunkynutz]

Was looking for these responses... My S3 Frontier is and has been great since I bought it... And I can install 3rd party screens right out of the box?

[@windylim]

Apple fanboys are not the most objective, unfortunately. This guy was gushing about how the Apple Watch is way ahead of the competition (and HIS reason is the watch can do things on iphone that other watches can't... well, DUH). Try out Samsung Gear S3 with a Samsung phone and you pretty much get the same experience, or in some cases even better. Samsung's rotating dial and interface is pretty damn good, and I've yet to see any bugs. Battery life? 2-3 days. The ONLY thing I would say Apple Watch is better, is the ECG and some of the health features they built in.

[@KenoshaCaptures]

I have the Galaxy Watch, and Tizen is just the best and most intuitive watch OS there is out there.

Watching this because I get mine in the mail tomorrow!

[@RobYTACC590]

According to the guy at the apple store . My dad was the first person in the world to pre order the Apple Watch 5

[@Zyfiels]

Can you turn off the always on display for better battery then the series 4?

[@yosefitche]

Zyfiel yes you can set the display to turn completely off like the series 4. Not sure how much that will improve battery, but likely just as good if not better than Series 4.

[@ne0tic]

Yes you can. The battery last about 10% longer (well, that is what I have heard) compared to having the AOD on!

[@flare6969]

I see a potato. Tbh battery life isn’t an issue in my experience. They charge really quick too. Charge it at night, or while you’re in the shower. Easy charge all day, and night if you wear it

[@Tronic-X1]

[@galeboetticher2290]

Yeah you can turn it off completely or put your watch in to theater mode for just a quick toggle if you're at the movies

Apple has the tablet and smart watch markets on lockdown. The competition isn’t even close here

[@williamlopez3397]

Jormungandr it’s like the other companies are ok with apple being dominant in these 2 markets.. still hasn’t made sense. Although I think what it’s gunna take is for a company to develop hardware that optimizes super well to the hardware and the software looks “cohesive.” Hmm maybe a similar approach to... surprise, Apple. IMO

[@L.G.productions]

I got the series 5 for Christmas, much better then the series 2 for sure.

[@albertomsn55]

Nice review and all but you always mention that the watch does what it does. What is it exactly? From what you've said it seems that it performs barely better than the older version...

[@aneeshsankruth9115]

"What's new in series 5 compared to series 4? Honestly, it's not that much" This pretty much sums up all of apple, these days, for me.

[@larrytate1657]

And they took away our damn 3.5 mm head phone jack. That’s new feature too. After all less options is always good.

[@havenothadmycoffee]

This Apple Watch 5 (silver aluminum, 44mm, milanese strap) will be my first Apple Watch, ever. I got my grown kids the Series 3 for Christmas awhile back and have been looking into getting one myself ever since. I especially like that they now have fall detection. That is my main reason for getting one. I am 47 and have MCTD (an autoimmune disease) and have taken a fall from time to time. I also have Osteoarthritis and Osteoporosis, yes, at 47-years-old, and falling for me is like a 70-year-old falling. I could break a hip or something. I didn't really care that the face went to the edge now or any of the other features, as cool as they are. I also will be installing a sleep app as well to track my sleep, this is paramount in anyone's health! They need to add a seperate ring for sleep for sure! I am a bit unsure if I made the right decision in getting the 44mm but well, my eyesight is about as good as a 70-year-old as well, so... hopefully it's not too bulky. I personally think if you have a Series 4, no need to upgrade yet...but if you have a Series 2 or 3...look into it and see if it's worth it for you!

[@extremeloco23]

You helped me buy an Apple watch series 2 3 years ago, and here I am again. Aha, I love that its the same gentleman every year for these.

Seriously, we need a long and detailed review for the Galaxy Watch Active 2 because i believe that it is the best smartwatch on the android side of things. It lies somewhere between the Apple Watch Series 3 and 4 but closer to the Series 4.

[@Poochyke]

6:15 Sleeptracking is missing because you would need to wear your Apple Watch during your sleep, making it impossible to charge at night?? If you’re also using your apple watch during the day, well, when do you charge? 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@rileyk7]

My Apple Watch takes less than an hour to charge. Sleep in it every night.

Apple watch can't put a sleep tracker yet..it needs Charing every night..n apple expects u to charge at night time..apple knows it..till then they don't improve to atleast 2 days battery life..they can't put sleep tracker

[@trentbosnic]

@@zohebsaikia Do you have an Apple Watch or know anyone with one? You currently get 2-3 days on a charge, you can get 4 days if you're really conservative. Apple is known to undersell the actual battery life.
