    Samsung's Watch 5 Pro is nearly identical to the Watch 5, but with a few major differences. The question becomes, are these differences worth $170?

    ADDITIONAL REVIEW NOTES:
    APPEARANCE
    40 and 44mm vs only 45mm
    5 has graphite and silver in both sizes, plus gold in 40mm and sapphire in 44mm
    5 pro only has black and grey
    Chunkier Pro model but sportier as well
    Hides bezel slightly better, but still not well
    Neither have rotating bezel, but GW5 Pro has better finger reference for digital bezel
    FUNCTIONALITY
    Protected bezel seriously goes a long way. I already damaged my GW5 and my GWA2
    Titanium vs Aluminum body
    Both have sapphire crystal display but Pro is more durable - 29GPa vs 24GPa
    Display sizes are identical for 44mm and 45mm watches
    Battery life is nearly double in my experience
    25% in a 4 mile run with music on the Watch 4
    Same RAM, storage, processor, health sensors, UI,
    Software differences? These feel like updates inbound
    Track Back
    Route loading (can do with Komoot anyway)
    PRICE
    $450+ vs $280/$310+
    Get Galaxy Watch 5 if you want smaller watch, more subtle design, want to save money
    Get Galaxy Watch 5 Pro if you want longer battery life and more durability but money is no object. The GPX route imports are nice too, but there are apps that can do that on the non-pro model. Alternatively, the Galaxy Watch 4 may be a great option for many as it has the same chip inside and nearly identical specs across the board but includes a physical rotating bezel

    Although I love the rotating bezel of the 4 classic the battery tradeoff on the 5Pro is well worth the trade off for me. I'm heavy user between notifications, workouts and GPS and my 4 classic would barely make it a day and that's with me sticking it on the charger for a quick charge during the day. With the 5Pro and same usage I charge every 3 days. With the watch 4 classic I charged 7days a week with the 5Pro I charge twice a week.

    I don't use it for fitness or sleep tracking so turning all those sensors off, AOD on, reading notifications and replying to messages I get an easy 2d / 48 hours...end of 3d / 72 hours I'm at like 15% which isn't ideal. But I think I'm OK with a charge every 2 days.

    One nice thing is that the band of the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro is made of a stretchy rubber-like substance that can expand. This is important for me because my wrists change size a lot when I lift weights. My previous Galaxy Watch (1st gen) had a band that could not change size, so I had to constantly readjust the watch band during workouts until I bought a third party band from someone else.
    I resisted upgrading from the Galaxy Watch because of battery life. The Galaxy Watch 5 Pro is the first one to come close to the original Galaxy Watch in battery life, although mostly I upgraded because various firmware updates over the years ate into the meager storage space. I only had a few watch faces, and was using around 3GB out of 4GB. I had long ago uninstalled apps that I liked to free up space.
    PS-Although the battery life of the Watch 5 Pro is pretty close to the original Galaxy Watch, it's still less, and I can feel it as I use the watch.

  • @csimet

    It came down to size for me... I have smaller wrists and the 5 Pro and 44mm 5 (regular) are just too big to fit properly and I feel the band would always be loose. I went with the 40mm Watch 5, knowing it lacked a few features of the 5 Pro (I don't think I'll ever need) and has the smallest battery of them all. Hopefully my daily routine of charging my watch each morning for about 30-40 minutes as I shower and get ready for the day is more than plenty to keep it going until the next, even with heavy use. A few adjustments to save power by disabling unused features will also come in handy.
    For $160 with the current special and trade-in rebate, it was time to upgrade.

    • @RemmyRiffs

      I upgraded from the 1 to the 5 lol. Also, your not missing ANY features other then the "track back" feature which as he say's there are apps you can already download that does this, and a larger battery. The biggest difference between the 2 is the look and if you've ever actually seen the 5 Pro with your own eye's the thing is a SLAB. I'm not even talking about the width...the thickness is insane lol. It looks like your wearing a damn tower on your wrist. So of course the battery life is as good as it is, your literally wearing the thickness of TWO watches lol. The base 5 just looks so much more sleek. And as for durability you can easily buy a watch case.

    I think the pro is for someone who’s forgetful and reducing the amount of devices that need a battery pack to be carried along. Even if it’s really expensive , it helps if you’re forgetful yet active. Also since smartwatches keep to do lists adds to helping this kind of situation

    • @ericgranstrom8513

      I was on watch active 2 40mm and upgraded to the 44mm watch 5. No regrets. I have small/medium wrists so the 40mm watch active 2 looked better on my wrist when I compared to the 44mm watch active 2 in store when I tried them on. But the watch 5 has a better design and not as chunky. Slimmer body and just works better on your wrist with the whole sensorhousing not protruding as much as on the watch active 2. So when I tried on the 40mm watch 5 in store it looked very small on my wrist. But the 44mm looked perfect and fit very well. I'm very happy with my choice of the larger watch. I suggest you go into the store and try on both watch sizes and go from there.

  • @CaptainCandycorn
    @CaptainCandycorn Pƙed rokem +8

    I went with the 44mm watch 5. The pro is just way too bulky and overkill for a daily watch. Battery life has been great, however I dont see why people take issue charging their watch every night as their phone is already on the charger. Samsung sent their dual wireless charger with the watch for free as a pre order bonus, so I just toss my watch and phone on it every night. However I also just ordered the new Amazfit GTR 4 to compare it to, and from my experience with the GTR 3 Pro the Amazfit kills it for the price and I like the looks more.
    As far as the Watch 5 goes, throw a Ringke sport case on it with their metal bezel and you have a perfect smartwatch. I got the set for 14 bucks and a set of 39.5mm glass screen protectors from aliexpress for 3 dollars shipped. They fit perfectly inside the metal ring and the watch is bulletproof.

    I have the Watch 5 44mm and the battery life seems to be solid enough. Looks like I can get two days out of it, similar to my previous Watch 2 Active.
    The Watch 5 Pro is great for serious athletes and those who know that they can't charge their watch within two days. Even a 5km run with accurate GPS tracking would put a serious dent in the battery life of my Watch 2 Active, so I bet the larger battery in the Pro model helps a lot.
    Also... It is a LOT less expensive than the Apple Watch Ultra while offering mostly the same features.

    I got the Watch 5 upgrading from the Watch 42mm from 2018. It suits my wrist and fits in the budget. I like the sleek design, the "bigger" battery and the revised software in coop with Google. I miss the rotating bezel sometimes. My biggest complaint is that they removed the cycling auto detection. Somehow a downgrade in my opinion.

    I’m considering upgrading from the 4 classic to the 5 pro just for the extra battery life. If I wear the 4 classic all day with the LTE function on, I may not make it through the day , especially if I do some exercise tracking. Or use it as a stand alone phone. So if I can RELIABLY make it through the day before needing a charge, it’s probably worth it. I’d miss the rotating bezel though.

      @@JohnnyFaber I’d say mostly. Under normal circumstances, it doesn’t overheat . I actually had a 1/2 hour phone conversation once using the speaker on the watch using it as a Stand alone phone, and it didn’t overheat. I also streamed music for about 45 minutes using the watch speaker (I didn’t have any earphones at the time) with no problem. But if I’m in an area with a very weak signal with the location service on, it may still overheat just sitting on my wrist. But it will cool as soon as I get around a good signal again. I hope they fix that on the 5 LTE. Most GW 5 reviews I’ve seen have been positive. .
