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

GALAXY WATCH 4 CLASSIC: mikeobrienmedia.com/Galaxy-Watch-4
Will miss the rotating bezel
I personally love the Watch 5 Pro ⛳️ edition
Portland, JAMAICA in the Building !!
Can you please review new lg buds
Battery life is must have, love my 4 but hate it's battery
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.
How Watch 5? How long is the battery life bro? Could you share me some experience?
@@kroemmuy452 I am getting about 3 and a half days of battery life and I am a heavy user.
Meanwhile i charge my gt3pro once every 10 days
The battery life on this 4 watch is terrible!! I want to upgrade, should look into it
@@bazezikov15 sweet, more days for Huawei to monitor what you're doing
Hi Mike. I haven't heard much on the OS used on the regular Watch5 and I was wondering if it a good option for someone who doesn't necessarily want to stick to the Samsung ecosystem (namely, Bixby...) but would rather have a Google-center experience (more specifically, Google Assistant, Google Wallet, and YT Music). Please, could you elaborate on that in a future video? Thanks and cheers!
Hi Mike, great video as always. Very thorough. I currently have the Watch 3 and I am looking for an upgrade. I also have the Pixel 6 Pro and was wanting your opinion if I should wait for the Pixel Watch or get the Watch 5 Pro?
I don't regret upgrading my 4 classic to 5 pro. The battery is amazing and is gorgeous black with gray band. It goes over 3 days easily while my traded-in 4 classic was barely going a full day. With all discounts I paid $170 for the upgrading.
Wow. What discounts did you get? I ended up paying £235 for my gw5 44mm by trading in my og gw for £50 and then getting 15% off. I'll also receive free buds live once my claim is reviewed.
@@fahdfarooqi5377 I traded in my 4 classic for $240, $16 educational discount, and $50 promotion, and $7 of my rewards. $450 was the price. With tax and other fees ended up to $168.
@@fahdfarooqi5377 I vacuumed my charger cord to the regular watch 4 I have to use my phone to charge it so it just sits on the shelf cuz I don't want to do that every other day annoying
I upgraded from Grear 3 to Watch 5 44mm
I got the 44mm 5 (first smartwatch - so nothing to compare it to!) - but it was difficult to choose between that, the 4 Classic and 5 Pro however something about that "flat" look of the 5 really appealed to me. Got a metal strap off Amazon to complete the look.
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.
Yeah, I'd go with the Pro version for larger battery but I don't like the design...
Did you get the Bluetooth version or the LTE version.
@@lakkadbagga The Bluetooth one. Personally - I'm never out without my phone (I use an armband for running with it) so I can do all the features like calls from my watch, replying to stuff from it etc that the LTE can do.
I loved my Watch4 Classic. It was a nice looking watch with the bezel and all that. But I upgraded to the Watch 5 Pro and I love it. I do miss the rotating bezel, but the battery life increase is worth it easily. I'm getting 2.5+ days depending on usage easily. I can wear it for sleep tracking two nights in a row without charging at all. I also love the new materials it's using - feel more like real traditional watch materials.
I've been getting 4+ days on my GW5 Pro. It's been amazing.
that is the reason I traded my 4 classic as battery was terrible
i get 1.5 days :9
unfortunately 45mm is too wide for my wrist but I need that battery life. 🥺
With my GW4 Classic, I'll hit the end of the day with only 15 to 20% left. And that's at only 1/2 brightness, no background metrics tracking during the day, but trackng a 1 & 1/2 hour workout every day. It sucks. I'm now getting sensor failure messages also. It's only 16 months old and it's hitting th end of its life. I'm looking at a GW5 Pro LTE, but they're $630 here in Canada.
I hade decided to get a smartwatch and cant decide witch one so do you have a recomendation? Im looking for a watch that can work for a day to day basis with my OP8 pro. Im not superactive but have a horse so it has to work when im out riding and the battery has to last atleast a day without having to worry. I think im gonna go for either 5 or 5 pro just cuz of the battery but still dont have a clue.
I have a question, does the watch 5 have a smaller black bezel around the display (normal not the classic) than the watch 4?
Fantastic review, best I've seen of this comparison. I was sold on watching the video after you summarized the target audience for each model in the intro.
Does the 5 pro have the same issue the watch 4 classic has..where it overheats/gets hot a lot and has to go into cooling down mode?
Thanks for de vídeo. A question. Where did you get that the sapphire of one is 24 GPa and the other is 29 GPa? I didn't find it anywhere else.
Does it over heat? I notice when I had the watch active2 it would overheat when I played music and had timer going or when I would play music in the shower on waterproof mode
Where can I get the blue watch band thats on the smart watch 5? See it says uled but can't find it online... Thanks!
Please make a video on the built in apps for working out. All videos are about running. I need the watch for weight lifting, etc.
Hi, can you tell me please what navy band it is that you have on watch 5 please. Trying to find it. Thanka
Did you purchase that navy blue watch band separately? I don't see any on the Samsung website.
which strap color/type are you using exactly for the regular watch 5??
I do a HIIT workout on a treadmill.
It consists of a warmup, the workout, and the cool down.
The workout has 8 segments of 2 minutes each with 30 seconds running at 7.6 mph with 90 seconds of walking at 2.5 mph.
Is there a fitness tracking watch that can contend with that?
I'd like to add jumping rope to this routine with 8 segments of 30 seconds of speed jump roping and 90 seconds of rest. Can any fitness tracking watch deal with that?
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.
I got the Pro for only £280 (trade in and student discount). Great screen, the sunken screen really helps with the virtual bezel. It feels like a big upgrade from my Garmin Vivoactive 2 but Samsung need to update the software to allow gpx files for running (only hiking and cycling at the moment). Very happy with my purchase so far but need to test it fully
How much discount was the student code?
Hey what did you trade in? I currently have a Vivoactive 3, but want the day to day features so am looking at watch 5.
Does the 5 lte still suck and overheat constantly? I sent 4 of the 4's back and gave up on samsung watches.
I guess this is the first product test I´ve seen ever with a damaged product. Kind of funny but realistic. Looks like a real test.
Managed to get the watch 5 pro with a solid student discount for 2500 sek which is 225 usd. Can't complain for that price! Great review Mike! 👏
Hi Mike, I love your videos btw. Keep up the great work. With the new iwatch and fitbits coming up. What do you think is the best allrounder on the market right now?
Hi, thx for the nice comparison video.
Where can I get the bigger watch 5 withe silver colour and the blue bad? Can't find it anywhwere.
Regards Andreas from Germany
Great Review. You mentioned there are 3rd party app that can be installed on Watch 5 for GPX route tracking feature, which Samsung only makes available on Watch 5 Pro. Would you mind sharing which App(s) they are?. Thanks.
Am definitely getting the watch 5 pro ... I know I will miss the bezel but I need the longer battery life ...hope they will bring up the bezel on the 6th generation of the watch
You've become my go-to for all my tech purchase reviews. Thank you sir
So would the watch 5 and watch 5 pro golf edition be the same as these two except the golf edition gets the caddie app for life. ?
Can anyone address if the fall detection feature works well on this watch ?
Ty
Thanks, very informative video, I came here after comparing them on Samsung website to figure out better if there was any other differences than the battery. I will probably go with the Watch 5 44mm 👍
I'm getting BT version; I like to be free from constant texts etc on a lovely dig walk. Thank you so much for explaining concisely.
Hello there, can you tell me if watch 4 classic will be a better buy than these watch 5 and 5 pro?
I have a protection case for the bezel made from silicon. Could lower the risk for scratches
Hmm I think I'll wait for now until they unveil the new phones in February. Maybe there will be an updatet classic.
does it have tennis tracker on the sports list??
Thanks for your detailed review Mike 👍🏽 No plans to upgrade at this point, still enjoying my Galaxy 4 😊
Great review, Mike. I traded the GW4 (44mm) for the GW5P for the very reasons you presented in the video. I am keeping my GW4C for dressing up and church. Keep up the excellent work and be blessed.
You mentioned the ability to navigate win 3rd party apps, but Komoot and Google maps requires a connection to a phone to navigate. Does the 5 Pro let it use navigation without the phone?
Is the watch 5/pro the newest version of the galaxy active 2?
0:30 did he just say appearance like the word experience appearience 🤣🤣
Straight to the point. Great video!
I upgraded from the 44mm Watch 4 to the Watch 5. I walk, cycle and do stair stepping. So the regular 5 is fine for me. Got a good price with the Samsung trade in offer. Better battery life and more accurate heart rate and sleep tracking were the main reasons. There are tweaks to extend battery life. I get a full two days with moderate use and sleep tracking turned on.
do you wear your watch when you sleep? when do you charge it?
I need a gps for 8 hrs per day. Would a Galaxy 4 or 5 have a big enough battery for this?
Great video, and as far as the durability I use a screen protector and a rugged sport watch band, so I never have issues with scratches.
Great review! What's the size of the display on the 40mm?
1.2"
I think the 5s were to fix the hardware issues with the 4s. My 4 always on display keeps turning off and I have to wake the watch to turn it on again and the battery life seems to be getting worse regardless of me doing anything to the watch. With the 5s they have a slight bump so when I trade in my 4 for the 5 hopefully that issue will be resolved for me along with the battery issues.
Take advantage of Samsung's trade in deals for this watch and for all of their products. You'll save more money versus going through your retailer store
Saw a review that the sensors on the new watches are more reliable because the fit to the wrist has changed.
Person:
Galaxy Watch 5 or 5 pro?
Me:
Galaxy Watch 3 refurbished.
Same. $100 on Amazon and it's been flawless.
Got the watch 4 44mm brand new for 160 dollars, can't complain despite the daily charging
Yeah I'm actually a little mad at myself that's about my watch last year I didn't wait. 12 months later and I would have saved $130
Definitely going to get either the watch 5 or watch 5 pro, as I use the S22 Ultra as my phone. Was an iPhone 12 Pro user and series 6 watch, changed my provider for work and personal use.
Thanks for the video, enjoyed it and I will decide but if anyone can help I’d be grateful. 🙏
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.
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.
Agree 100%. After a week, no regrets with the 40mm. Love it. I did add a Spigen Liquid Air case... perfect fit with no noticeable increase to bulk. It also provides a slight lip to the edge (helps with circular finger swipes).
@@csimet what about battery?
Does anyone know if you can use Samsung Pay+ Curve on Samsung Galaxy Watch 5????
TY! Durability is important to me. For bulk in China shop reasons. This helps, great video 👍 pro
I'm still over here using the gear S2 and I'm just now trying to decide whether to go with the watch 4 classic or the watch 5 pro.
Hard to make the case for upgrade, a day or two more battery life isn't a big leap.
i'm curious about "your" cpm. could you be a good sport and share it if you are comfortable; atleast average cpm across "your" channel.
What the Golf editions of Watch 5/5Pro?
It’s an easy decision pro for me .
Longer battery life and better case are worth the extra $$$.
Although I’ll wait a month or 2 for sales to start .
I tested Watch 5 PRO GPS VS Suunto 9 Peak during a 6 hr hike in the forest and the Watch 5 pro GPS performance is really disappointing. Many times the W5P reported off- route deviations though I'm right on track.
Where did gou get the watch band?
what kind of band is on the pro in this video? anyone?
Amazing review
Is both model have a blood pressure?
I have a Watch 3 classic and didn't see a need to upgrade to the 4 even though it ran Wear OS. Samsung has a promo where you can trade in a smartwatch in any condition (physically. still needs to turn on and function).
I couldn't pass it up, as I still had the Gear Sport sitting in my closet. Ended up getting $75 credit towards the GW5. I like having Wear OS with all the Google apps vs. Tizen. I do miss the rotating bezel.
I'm happy with the watch so far.
Doesn't the digital bezel version react to water?
I have the watch 3 and seeing that deal. I’m debating should I upgrade to the 5 pro or 5 since it’s enhanced trade in.
I just got mine and just ordered a cover the protects the screen and the aluminum sides
I wish the Huwaei Watch GT 3 Pro could use Wear OS.......now THAT'S a beautiful smartwatch, with killer battery life to boot.
I'll wait till TMobile does the free pro with an added line. I'm still rocking a Bluetooth gear S3 frontier 😂
I've got the 40mm Galaxy Watch 4 Classic... and while I love the physical rotating bezel, the battery life is absolutely horrendous. I take it off the charger in the morning, and making it all the way to bedtime without a few more minutes on the charger is sometimes difficult. I'm thinking of upgrading to the 44mm Galaxy Watch 5, as I've got average to larger wrists, and the bulky look of the Watch 5 Pro does not appeal to me at all. How's the battery life on the regular Watch 5 (44mm)? I don't need sleep tracking, but will it make it through an entire day pretty easily?
Great video. I have a question on battery issue. I wonder if the extra battery capacity of the Pro is so important. I would think it might be easier to remember to charge every day rather than every other day. On the other hand, if you want to analyze your sleep pattern, etc., you can't charge while sleeping. I am learning toward 5 because it is more like a size of normal watch. Should I wait for another generation of the watch, hoping that that might have more battery capacity?
And what? Dud you buy it?
@@koroboro Not yet.
1:37 looks like someone scuffed up their Galaxy 5 over there
I just got the Galaxy 5! I was going for the 5 Pro but once I tried it on it was very bulky and basically uncomfortable for me.
Which one is worth the money? Watch 5 pro LTE or Watch 5 pro bluetooth/Wi-Fi?
Especially tricky when you add the variable then Galaxy 4 watch with the same chip and the rotating bezel is now Dirt Cheap on the resale Market
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.
Fully charged after your use it still says 4 days 4 hours
Quick question i have the original galaxy watch so I guess the 1 , is it worth the upgrade ?
I believe the trade in is 75.00 for that
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
I mean if you have a samsung phone you could just charge it on the back of the phone. Left it when you sleep and get both at full charge on the morning
@@mehshutup3041 yeah but the latest Samsung phones have pretty mediocre battery life as it is. The s22 in particular doesn't really have much room to spare
It's ment for active ppl. When you go out camping u don't have ur watch dying in a day. If they wanted it for forgetful they make the watch last for weeks or months. But they want to pack features with a good display and sacrifice a lot of battery for it.
Ok as long as the Classic is an ongoing model, I'll stick to it.
Super explanation 👌
We noticed the paint is already scuffed off the top of the Watch 5 you are wearing, and it seems you haven't worn it very long. Could you please address that? You mention it, but how easily did it happen?
Hey Mike, I like your content, your style and the way you present your products. Such a humble though very competent RUclipsr.
Keep it up bro.
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.
Is it worth to trade in watch 3 with 5 pro?
I found the Watch 5 Bluetooth 44mm for 184$ US, is it worth it?? I've never had a "smartwatch", just an Amazfit band 5 that died last week :(
Can you compare Galaxy watch Pro 5 versus Michael Kors Gen 6? I have the Galaxy 3 watch still and I like it very much. But I'd like to get matching watches for myself and my husband. I like the aesthetic of the Michael kors they don't sell just the band.
I may have to get the pro just for the battery life. I'm not a big exercise buff but I'm horrible about charging accessories
i use the have a watch active 2 when it first came out and before that i had the galaxy watch 3 as well might go for the 44mm watch 5 regular
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.
Wait you can get a case with a metal bezel? Does it rotate or you use as touchscreen? Or is it not functional
the issue with charging overnight is some people want the sleep tracking function. one main thing im looking for
I track my sleep using it . Thus it's very helpful
Thanks I got duped one time for the galaxy buds2 😅 but after watching your review I have survived now.
I think the watch 5 pro provides more battery to let users have better experience in smart watches. In the past, many functions were turned off to save power. Increasing the battery allows users to experience the convenience brought by the watch more completely.
Can you explain how you damaged your Watch 5?
I wanted to know how likely that I will be damaging my watch...
Thanks for the comparison but I only wanted to know about the Pro watch
I got the Watch 4 over the Pro because I like the look of the Watch 4 more
The bezel and titanium body saved mine... Took a bad mtn bike crash and bruised ribs and sprained fingers, but the watch was still flawless!. My Galaxy Active 2 would have been ruined witht he same fall.
Just got the pro yesterday the battery is definitely incredible
Whats the battery size difference?
I already have the regular 5 only wifi but today I bought the 5 pro LTE version, but yes they're basically the same.
Samsung should make a regular model..a pro model.. and a classic model.. would make a nice thing to add a classic 5 for the rotating bezel
So like..3 differnt model if possible to appeal to the classic rotating bezel users...casual user..and sports user
Well that and the rotating bezel does look nice
Nice video explaining the difference. But aren't they coming out with the 6 by the end of July 26 /2023
If it wasn’t for the steep discount I probably would have stuck with my watch 4. But $14.24 for the 5 pro….couldn’t pass that up. Full price I would probably pass it up
wait u got that for $14? thats a goddamn steal man
How did you get it for that amount?
