Galaxy Watch 5 Pro Review in 2024! Still The Best Android Smartwatch!

[@kimberleysweetser6087]

I purchased a new Samsung Galaxy 5 Pro smart watch through Best Buy this morning, for $199! Thank you for the great review.

[@jinside]

These are a steal...bought my wife and I the LTE version from Amazon renewed and they are working great!..Safe travels Adam!

[@nafeeahnaf6296]

How much did it cost?

[@jinside]

$150 each. Getting 5 days easy .. I don't enable all the features and haven't used lte yet. I hear LTE drains the battery pretty bad so I may never.

[@Yoshimatsu414]

I just ordered mine last night, getting it today, can't wait 👍🏿 I've been a long time Android user, I try Apple here and there and after my longest time of using an iPhone yet (9 months, previously it was only 1 week lol) I'm glad I switched back to Android and have the option of using a great watch like this for this great of a price.

[@christopherlastname7638]

I just got one for 99 dollars it was supposed to be renewed in good condition of 8 out of 10 but I don't think someone wore it !

[@christopherlastname7638]

​@@Yoshimatsu414my wife lost my iPhone 12 mini so I got a Galaxy s22 and the watch 5 pro and it kills the iPhone and iwatch everything works with any thing i want the apple watch sucks i thought i could watch videos on my apple watch but no it didn't do pop

[@Oozy9Millimeetah]

I knew nothing about smart watches when i got my 5 pro, now i couldn't imagine being without one, apart from fitness tracking, i absolutely appreciate the most the vibrating alarm, its so nice to wake up without any alarm sound, also getting enough sleep is hard for me so i really like the sleep tracking, it's important to me to know that at least i slept 5 hours... also when at work i need to answer calls all the time ( i operate heavy machinery) so it's so convenient to see whos calling and answering from my watch since i wear a Bluetooth headset... the band it came with is the best watch band/strap I've ever worn, only wish that it had a security latch or something since ive accidentally opened it few times... the 5 pro is so good

[@Rehnstrand]

I changed my watch 5 pro to watch 6 Classic LTE, 47mm, but because of the bad battery time and that the watch 5 Pro, LTE was on sale I went back to it and haven't regretted that at all. In my opinion the watch 5 pro is still the champ of the Galaxy watch lineup.

[@bc3395]

Agree completely with you sir! I’ve owned all previous versions of galaxy watches and this is a refreshing upgrade and well worth it as for the features you mention in your review!

[@deuashachai]

How is this compared to the gear 3 frontier?

[@WonderBlubber]

been on my wrist since it came out! the battery is KING

[@BigJeffroeX438]

This has to be a sign because I was just on a website today thinking about upgrading from my Galaxy watch 4 classic and I almost pull the trigger on the Galaxy watch 5 because of the battery life and then you come out with this video I'm definitely going to do it now thanks for the video brother keep up the good work

[@jasonredhorn6973]

Chiefs fan here, I totally agree, I love everything about my 4 classic but the battery is ASS

[@DerrickCuffie]

Don't know if you upgraded yet but the classic 4 battery is trash. I just traded mine for the 6 Classic

[@Skyler_Deacon]

I got one for 160$ this past week, and i love it. I wanted a longer batter because I tend to forget to charge stuff.

[@thisisnotreallife20]

I love my Titanium Watch 5 Pro. I rotate it between my regular Watch 5(nice blue color) and the GW6 Classic(Black). I'm hoping they stay with the Titanium color with a GW7 Pro.

[@th83]

I bought a 5 Pro LTE as a birthday present to myself back in October 2022. At one point, I was able to get up to 4 days of battery life with continuous heart rate monitoring and full sleep tracking. However, after a few updates, that dropped to roughly 3 days. That's still great, especially when the Pixel Watch barely lasted a full day and the Pixel Watch 2 falls just a bit short of two full days for me. Another great thing about the Pro is just how solid it is. It's built like a tank, unlike the Pixel Watches which need a case just for me to wear them without fear of accidentally smashing them on a door frame or something lol I'm hoping there's a Watch 7 Pro with an even larger battery, more powerful + efficient processor, and the slightly bigger screen from the 44mm Watch 6/47mm Watch 6 Classic. I'm also hoping it's just a tad bit larger overall, maybe 46-47mm. After using a 47mm 6 Classic for a few months, the 45mm 5 Pro almost seems a bit small on my wrist. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on the OnePlus Watch 2! I like what I've seen so far and it's the right size for me, but I don't think I need another smart watch hahaha.

[@CoronaV19]

I'm torn between GW6 and GW5Pro. They are about the same price though.

[@th83]

@@CoronaV19 Hmmm, that's a tough one if you're comparing the 44mm 6 or 47mm 6 Classic with the 5 Pro. The bigger versions of the GW6 have a 1.5" display that makes the 1.36" display on the GW5 Pro look small in comparison. Another thing to consider is the thickness of the watch. The Classic and the Pro are both rather thick, so if you're looking for something with a lower profile (and don't need the extra durability), the regular 6 is the way to go. For the same money, I'd personally take a 47mm 6 Classic over the 5 Pro for the added style and bigger display. Yeah the 5 Pro has the larger battery, but as a light user (no AOD, limited workout tracking, but all health monitors on continuous and full sleep tracking) I can still get 3 days out of the 47mm 6 Classic on a full charge. The 5 Pro after a full factory reset once again gets me 4 days with the same usage, but anything over 2 full days is a win in my book. If the Classic's rotating bezel isn't important to you, the 44mm GW6 is still a great option and has the same battery life. Another thing to consider is age. As it's a year newer, the 6 will get updates for another year after support ends for the 5. On top of that, there's the fact that the 7 is just 4-5 months away, and the 5 Pro will be two years old at that point. I'd say go for the 6 or wait for the 7 unless you can find the 5 Pro at a deep discount.

[@otepdotnet]

This is one of the most underrated product to date. I have this for 1.5 years the battery life is amazing, it's ultra light and very comfortable to wear and not that big

[@user-up1tj5vq4t]

It's very good, I have it and I won't change it. Greetings from PR.

[@ClapperDan]

Hey, I was gonna buy a watch from Back Market in the best condition possible, but I found a great deal on a Watch 5 Pro and bought it from a private seller for $165. It's in amazing condition! So far, it's working really well! I started using it at around 11:20 a.m. with 85% battery, and it's now a day and a half later. I have Bluetooth connected and the Always-On Display turned on, and it's at 33% battery! My Watch 4 would have died by now. I forgot my charger at home, so I'll charge it at work using wireless PowerShare and use my tablet in the meantime. I'm gonna adjust the settings a bit more, maybe watch a video on the best settings for battery life without turning on Watch mode or power saver, and then do a full 100-0 battery cycle to see how well the battery holds up.

[@thundergato84]

I wonder if Samsung will make a Watch Galaxy Pro 7.

[@graeme4538]

Thanks for this video, Adam. Couldn't agree more. Love the cleaner design than the Classic series. Not at all bulky to wear also at night and the only Wear OS smartwatch that's practical to use because of the 3 day battery.

[@marcochavanne]

I have the 5 Pro and went back to it after a month with the Pixel 2. Its still great. Just not a fan of Samsung Health. Preordered the OnePlus Watch 2 and if its good enough I may retire the 5 Pro.

[@AlexKunstar]

The galaxy watch 5 pro looks pretty awesome... but the watch 6 with the rotating bezel, brighter nicer screen is an absolute must for me. Do i wish it had that extra 100milliamps of battery life? Sure do, but im not giving up the sleeker design and better performance. Once the galaxy watch 7 pro comes out im sure we will both agree its superior to everything before it. Til then this is mostly user preference.

[@adinwalls]

I saw some reviews saying the GPS accuracy is bad. This is important for me for running. Do you think it's worth worrying about?

[@_M-_-C_]

I bouhgt mine refurbished from amazon for £168, it came with a screen protector on it but apart from that you couldnt tell anyone else had touched it looks brand new and i love it. I have bought a few different screen "cases" and straps and i change its appearance regular. Everything i use it for it does as perfect as you would expect.

[@_M-_-C_]

Damn i just realised how much my comment looks like an advert lol its not but i would defo recommend it.

[@samuraisoul2]

I've been very happy with my Watch5 Pro and will probably pass on the Watch7 varients based on what I have seen about them. Love the durability and size and does everything I need.

[@alpha_y2k438]

I just got one and it is the best money I've spent in a long time

[@TechOdyssey]

It's a solkd watch.

[@servantofthetruth8203]

Do you think is better than OnePlus watch 2?

[@athaminabil5896]

Hi, if I take the lte Version, do I need to take or install an esim when I have an samsung a54 5g?

[@topsadda]

Using the amazfit T-Rex pro. Battery is great. At least 8 days. No speaker though. No apps. Here I am thinking of the GW5Pro...

[@Reapingmaverick]

I get close to 3 days of battery on the watch 5 pro. It’s amazing. I have the 6 as well and it’s so frustrating having to charge so much…

[@viazel2796]

Awesome update. Will you be reviewing the OnePlus Watch ? Thank you

[@nccapone344]

I have the Samsung watch 5 pro, And I really like the look of the new Oneplus watch looks sweet 🙃🥳

[@TechOdyssey]

Yes. I will be. Probably next week.

[@WickedStyles]

I didn't see much of it but that non-smart watch looked awesome. I hope you still wear it sometimes. Also, I have a Galaxy Watch 5 Pro. I can't wear it to bed atm because my 1 year old likes to mess with it. She almost put it in SOS mode a few times while we're just trying to get some sleep. Don't need the cops showing up for nothing. I did like the sleep tracking features when I could use them.

[@Brianfox52]

I just picked up the Galaxy watch 544 mm. Add the watch 4 in the smaller face, But I like the Is flat screen on the Watch5 Better than having a fake bezel. I used to have the Galaxy watch 4 classic also with the rotating vesseldid not like how bulky it was

[@srbell67]

Why not the 6 classic over the 5 pro??

[@jasonredhorn6973]

Probably the price is twice as much

[@B.i.d.e.n]

Battery sucks pro is king

[@Saeedmadanni]

I had the samsung watch 4. I got frustrated with the batterylife so went to a similar smart watch with more battery capacity. I'm happy Garmin venu 3 one month now. I do love Samsung though but c'mon samsung get it together with the batterylife for 5 days at least.

[@superiortoall22]

I mean the Garmin Venu 3 doesn’t really do much compared to the Samsung. When you start throwing in the ability to do third party apps (meaning Wear OS) it’s going to drain the battery.

[@Saeedmadanni]

@@superiortoall22 It's not even close to Samsung in that regard. Garmins health tracking metric and sensors is pretty good. Venu 3 can answer and make calls / replying to to text msgs, google assistance Spotify which is pretty much what I used mostly in samsung watch, and not having to worry about battery in a smart watch all I needed, so it was as close as I could get to Samsung from Garmin. I wish Samsung can do the same with their watch battery, I would have gotten the Samsung 5 or 6 otherwise

[@Tha-King-Arthur]

Garmin Venu 3 is also a laggy watch.. Just scroll down in the menu from above till down in one swipe and u will noticed in the middle it get stuck..

[@Saeedmadanni]

@@Tha-King-Arthur Venu 3 is is snappy watch when scrolling and do everything. As a samsung ultra user I would not tolerate any lagging lol overall it is great as a lifestyle athlete smart watch. Different echo systems than samsung, been a great experience so far. And battery not lagging at all either

[@24liquorice]

[@user-rm1ie7mp2g]

Does it has a, Find My Phone feature. My kids occasionally use my phone for kid's games and lose my phone from time to time. I have a galaxy S24 Ultra phone.

[@Mike.Tech.]

Yes it does

[@srbell67]

The 6 classic smokes the 5 pro in everything except battery and somehow, it’s the best android smartwatch??

[@paulkline3011]

I have absolutely no issue with the battery life on my 6 classic. As soon as I wake up in the morning I put it on the charger because I take the watch off anyway to take a shower. By the time I'm ready for work and leaving the house it's charged 100% ready for the day. It's not a hard thing to do. I just laugh at how many people cry over the battery.

[@TechOdyssey]

Lighter, thinner, titanium build, better battery life, gps. All other capabilities equal. Pro wins. The 6 has a bezel.

[@srbell67]

@@TechOdyssey additionally, the 6 pro has a larger screen to bezel ratio and in fact does have a larger screen.

[@TechOdyssey]

@@srbell67 sure. But your claim is that is smokes it in every turn except battery. I’m fairly certain you failed to demonstrate that

[@christopherlastname7638]

​@@srbell67I work 3 days on 4 days off so the battery lasting till I get off is the most important part plus I paid 99 dollars for a titanium watch that looks good no moveing parts not to big not to small 6 owner's always say my screen is bigger do you actually read or watch KZbin videos are you gaming on it what's the deal compensating for something then yes size matters dosen't matter what she said like my pro 5 it's perfect when the watch 7 comes out I'm getting a 6 but just like my watch3 46mm watch4 classic 46mm I'm going to keep them and ware them for different activities!

[@Yoshimatsu414]

I've been using this watch for some months now, the LTE model and unbelievable but it STILL has the "overheating" issue when using it in what I assume is low signal areas. The watch low just go into limp mode basically and say it's overheating and can't do anything on it but look at the time. They've been having this issue from what I noticed since Galaxy Watch 3. It's silly that randomly in certain areas it can just do that especially when you're on a call, it does it even faster, makes the standalone LTE mode not useful. When are they going to fix that??

[@Antoinemalone]

I have the GWC4 but hardly use it since I have the PW2. It's a better watch imo at least for my uses especially working out the GW keeps randomly pausing, also it's more accurate as Marquis and others tested. Only time I use my GW is when I wake up I use the body composition. That's the only thing for me the PW doesn't have but PW has been much smoother, easy to use, easy to text, watch bands easier to switch out (GW still uses pins not sure about the 5 but they need to get with the times lol). I do miss the snore feature. It says they have it on the pixel under wellness or something. It's there but I'm not sure how to use or activate or use it 🤷 that being said it's known that GW is a terrible sleep tracker but still not a bad watch.

[@Tha-King-Arthur]

I really don't understand the hype of these Samsung Watches.. The response time is downright slow, the RAM memory is so low that it makes the watch laggy, the sleep registration and blood pressure measurement is inaccurate..Starting up GPS often takes a very long time, and if it works, it is certainly not accurate when exercising indoors. And the batteries of these watches are just very bad, Samsung Health looks very cheap... But perhaps I am also used to luxury watches such as the Huawei GT4 and 4 Pro, Apple Watch Ultra 2, then the limitations of a Samsung watch quickly become apparent.

💥💥 I doubt that the ticwatch pro 5 is better than this also galaxy watch 6 is better and 4 classic. Also this Galaxy watch 5 pro doesn't have the rotating bezel. I don't understand people, why would you be okay with Samsung removing features? The rotating bezel is what made the galaxy watch stand out. I don't understand why would be okay with that it literally makes no sense. This is the problem with some of these tech reviewers man they just let these companies just remove stuff and be okay with it. it's like call of duty. call of duty remove stuff in their game that was popular and then we supposed to be okay with it and accept it. Then when their new game suck then they bring back those old features that we liked that they never should've got rid of. Obviously Samsung listen because they brought back the rotating bezel on the galaxy watch 6 classic.
