The Galaxy Watch 5 Pro strikes a good middle ground between true smartwatch and sports watch. But it’s BIG.

Thanks. This is very helpful and informative.
Sold I’m getting one You had me at waterproof
You can buy casing protector from Samsung if you are clumsy type
god your voice is ABYSMAL
why are you hissing into the mic?????
Still can’t use offline satellite or topographic maps… Basically just another Fitbit on steroids that is only useful for people who never leave their local cellular area — absolutely useless for adventurers who go WAY off the beaten track…
dose turn-by-turn work with maps
Protip: this POS needs to be resetted every couple months because it will lose connection to the phone, you’ll have to pair it again and wipe the device, have had to do it 3x so far in less then a year and i know im not the only one
Would’ve been nice if they made a stylish and classy looking watch. Not everyone wants to look like a spandex monkey
Awesome video, thank you so much!
I had the galaxy watch 4 classic and the main reason I would never use it is that the always on display would not work because of having tattoos on my wrist, is the 5 pro any better in that situation?
She’s cute
Disappointed in the design changes they’re making. I miss the frontier design language. They had something going with that. Now it’s just kind of… meh. Definitely don’t like that they got rid of the rotating bezel.
Anyone know if this watch works with Garmin heart rate chest straps?
Pure garbage when Samsung decided not to allow this watch like the 4 to roam outside the USA..
Very informative and non bias. Very honest view
How long would pro last with LTE
The sport smartwatch you can barely see outside 😂 great job Samsung
Can we connect galaxy watch 5 pro with iPhone??
I just never use ALWAYS ON. I wear my watch constantly and raising my wrist to see the time is absolutely perfect. I’m coming from the Galaxy Active 2 which was a problem from the start, (VERY short battery life, display phantom triggering amongst other things!), and it recently died on a water therapy session. I reactivated my original galaxy watch in the interim from ordering this one. I personally REALLY like the virtual bezel, my original watch the bezel jammed, unable to move it. It moves now but very tightly, not a good thing. Interesting strap for seniors who’s hand mobility is starting to be an issue, I had to put an expandable band on my Galaxy Active 2, and am interested to see how the magnetic latching works. Thanks for a great review, I’m really going to like this watch, I can tell!
Ok, cutest voice ever 😁Great review thanks
So I purchased this and three days later I returned it because the phone speaker is terrible

10:40 That’s kind of insane for a watch made by the same company who’s flagship pro model phone charges in the same amount of time. The watch then be able to charge fully in like 30 minutes or less?
Uhh… when in the description it says “this channel MAY receive commissions on every Samsung watch bought from this link” you meant “this channel received this product for free AND gets a commision every sales” ?
Wtf is this dodgy phrase, if you can’t even be clear with us on such a simple thing I dont see how can I trust you on giving a neutral review
So they are sport watches now. For athletes and people that are addicted to working out every second of the day. Ok got it
No fitness readiness score = FAIL. Goodbye Samsung watch.
I bought a galaxy 5 pro watch last week. Now the phone bell rings only on the watch and not on the phone
How can I adjust it to ring on both phone and watch. Please guide.
Is the Watch 5 pro bottom plastic?
How dumb you need a Samsung phone for an app to work.
You have a Portie?
MANS WRIST??!!! You mean Their wrist?? 🤣
Wait… its not even water proof?
I am still waiting for Samsung, or another OEM to make a bracelet style watch with a long and wide curved screen.
Hello. This is one of the few review channels by women that is actually good. No annoying pronunciation with too many typical hissing sounds, no annoying American accent but lovely British. Well thought through and useful information. No endless repetition. Congrats!
So this is a watch for just women then??
Exactly, I missed rotating bezel.too
If you want a Galaxy watch that won’t get scuffed, this is the one.
No physical bezel… That sucks. Total deal breaker for me… 😢
Seems like a lot of what are missing for serious health enthusiasts are SOFTWARE upgrades — so — QUESTION: what’s your experience suggests the software apps availability for Samsung vs Fitbit?
Good watch good review good future but no money…😅😅
The regular watch 5 also has the sapphire glass, othewise a really good review!
Hi there! Thank you for your review. I am considering buying this watch, but I do have a question. I have a Google pixel 7 Pro with Google fi service. Would I still be able to get the lte functionality? Thank you so much!!
I’m very satisfied with my phone.
I bought a Casio, the battery life is 10 years.
I regret upgrading from the Frontier S3 to the Watch 5 Pro last year. The black rim scratches easily whereas my Frontier S3 looked like new after years of tough use. The sleep function is useless. On most nights there are huge chunks of time it does not record sleep – either at the start, in the middle of the night, or less frequently close to morning. I think I would know if I was awake for 4 hours while in bed! Ironically, my Samsung phone (S21) shows a more accurate number of hours slept, but without the detail the watch is supposed to provide. The Watch 5 Pro also does not accurately record my activity. For example, on a recent 100km cycle ride I received only 13k steps. The last straw was two days ago when I started the cycling tracker, the timer started but no distance appeared. I tried starting it 3 times and then had to reboot the watch to get it to work. I’m not sure why I continue to wear the watch! I guess it does notify me of texts and I can talk on it if my phone is not nearby. But the watch is a disappointment. If anyone has a watch that does better, I’d love to hear about it.
Hi Lexxy..which Samsung watch would you recommend as a replacement for a medical alert. If i need to call 911 or wifey…thanks
Can’t make my mind up whether to get the 5 Pro or the Watch 6 44mm.
