📜 Description 📜
--------------------------------------------
I've been wearing the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 (44mm) for two weeks straight and I've tried almost everything worthy about this watch. One of the features of the Galaxy Watch 5 is that you can wear it on your right wrist and rotate the watch so then the keys are positioned on the left side of the watch. This is a great feature for left-handed people and it is often taken for granted whereas there are many other smartwatches that, while you can wear them on the right wrist, you can change the orientation of the watch. So kudos to Samsung for this great feature!
Yes, the Galaxy Watch 5 doesn't have a physical rotating bezel and apparently a lot of the folks absolute loved that feature of the watch! But now we're dealing with a touch bezel (which can be disabled if you don't fancy it). In this video I'll show the couple best use cases for the touch bezel.
I also tested battery life and with a moderate use I was able to get 36-37 hours. But one thing I learned was to never go to sleep before charging it, if it has less than 25% charge. And that's because the first night the watch died in my sleep!
I also tested both the blood pressure and the ECG and I was shocked with I saw! The fact that I have afib! But is that true? Do I have afib? Well, I went for a check up and...
Do not use the ECG app if:
- You have have an implanted pacemaker, implanted cardiac defibrillator or implanted electronic devices
- You are under 22 years old
- You have known arrhythmias other than atrial fibrillation
U can change delay if you go settings go to about watch then go software info then tap multiple times on software version until it says developer mode on go back to settings and choose developer options scroll down until you see window animation scale then change animation to .5x and it will be faster.
Great tip, thank you!
Great! Thx!!!
If you turn it off completely it's faster
Should be butter out of the box.
Thanks Mate, It helped a lot ;)
As a left-handed, I'm already used to the buttons/crown pointing to my arm instead of my elbow. But the ability to change that is always appreciated. BTW, great review! I'm totally getting this watch.
Thank you for this.
I have the Galaxy Watch 4 (40mm) and had no idea about the orientation.
Total game changer.
Really glad this was helpful Ashley!
I was standing outside your window last night and I can confirm that you did wake up for an hour. :) All jokes aside, the Fold 4 and the Buds 2 Pros far exceeded my expectations. I would imagine the same would be the same for the Galaxy Watch 4. Unfortunately, I purchased a new Watch 4 just 3 weeks ago so it'll will be awhile before I get my hands on the 5. I'll probably go for the Pro version anyways. Again, thank you for your reviews that really answer questions for us everyday users.
LOL!
That's great to here J! And yes you're probably not missing out on a whole lot. If we forget about the slightly bigger battery, it's really just the skin temperature sensor that's actually new. Jumping to the Pro would make more sense indeed!
It would be very helpful from you to do a comparison between GW5 and Garmin venu 2 in terms of HR monitoring during workout
my first smart watch, i cant miss what i didnt have but the bezel would solve my only complaint with the watch.
You can swype with the Samsung keyboard. No need for gboard
Excellent review!
Don't forget to click on build # on watch settings to unlock dev mode & change your animation
I wouldn't bet on the Blood Oxygen rating being totally accurate-it measured 77 for me one night, I couldn't find where it shows for how long....but I'm still here....😁
Who said you will die if it shows 77....some t
@@adr23 it's called lack of oxygen to the brain.
Samsung keyboard has swipe too
Samsung keyboard in new WearOS support swipe as well. It's in the settings by default is switched off
Thanks for the tip!
I actually like the touch bezel it reminds me of the button wheel on the iPods :D
This works with watch 4 also..
The Samsung Galaxy watch 5 LTE does not support standalone Google maps. I took my bike for a ride without my phone and when I tried to connect to Google maps it asked me to connect to my phone. Defeats the purpose of an LTE. I returned it and I'm glad I did
Jason, are you sure you enabled mobile data and also turned on location access on your watch? It's supposed to work on the LTE version. 🤔
@@RyansTechMedia Yes, absolutely and I contacted Samsung. For now it doesn't support standalone GPS but they said maybe sometime next year
I mean I was aware that offline maps were planned for the non-LTE version, but I always assumed that with the LTE version you'd have access to it anyways. Well, at least I learned something new from you, so thanks!
@@RyansTechMedia Np, that is what I thought too. Everything else works on LTE version except Google maps
I cant weer silicone bands because i am alergic for nylon, this is in Tholen bands so i wear only stainles steel without nikkel
Idk if i might be allergic to anything but ima buy mine tomorrow where do i get stainless steel for the watch 5?
Will you prefer a watch 5 pro or venu 2 plus for a Samsung fold 4 owner ? Interested mainly in heart rate and sleep tracking and health metrics .
If I can answer this... I feel like I have some insight here, ha. I'm currently wearing the Venu 2 Plus - it's a fantastic watch for sleep tracking and health metrics, as you were asking about. I also have here the Galaxy 5 Pro (I will be returning, its simply too large, in my opinion - and I typically like larger watches), and I also have the Galaxy 5 44mm - which I will probably keep. Although, from my testing so far, the battery life on the Galaxy Watch is so risky - meaning you have to be constantly monitoring it and checking on it... As Ryan said - if you go to bed with it below ~25% you will wake up with a dead watch. With the Garmin Venu 2 Plus you could be at 12% and still 1) go to the gym and record a 1-hour workout 2) wear the watch all day long and 3) still track that night full sleep and 4) probably almost make it through the next day! This watch is a battery champ. I only wish it looked slightly nicer - even with changing out bands etc the Garmin is more of a "puck" and the Galaxy has a bit more style to it. That's what I'll keep the Galaxy is to wear when I'm going out etc or just need a nicer looking watch. But the Venu will be on my wrist 95% of the time I just think its a superior watch for the things I want on a daily basis. Hope this helps!
@@CoryBurke thank you so much for a great reply . Can you also tell me do you lose or gain anything when using Samsung watch with a Samsung phone or it's just a minor inconvenience if you don't . I do know venu doesn't hsve BP and ecg but other than that?
Great review - i actually have a question abou the device namelyis there a gps map app for it.
Its a big miss if there are none, it would be great for biking, hiking, boating,.... its easy to access, safe and nonintrucive just a glance away on your wrist
Thanks V D! Currently you need to have the watch connected to your phone to use the map (Google Maps) on the watch, unless you get the LTE version. But if I'm not mistaken later this year there will be some updates that will allow offline navigation with Google Maps. So if/when that becomes reality, that's a game changer imo. Regardless, if you care about GPS and navigation a lot I highly recommend the GW5 Pro version because of its larger battery.
@@RyansTechMedia great news thank you so much
Question. How is the vibrator motor? I had to return two watch 4's because it they a weak vibration and i was missing notifications on watch at work when my phone was on silent and i had it on the strongest vibration setting I am hoping there is an improvement with the watch 5 motor. Is it same or stronger than the watch 4? I am back to using my active 1 for now 😑
That's such a good question Sarah! I'm afraid not only is it not stronger, it actually feels weaker! 🙁
But I appreciate you watching the video.
@@RyansTechMedia noooo 😭😭 ty for replying
I didn't like it so replace it with another band
I am looking for a watch that will install the Zello walkie-talkie app. Can you confirm if this Galaxy watch 5 can? (Looking to use standalone over wifi without my phone).
I'm pretty sure it does have stress alert.
My Galaxy Watch 5 will not install the ecg and i cant get a blood pressure icon either.
BP isn't available in the states yet.
5 pro is to thick for me. is this one still good battery life compared to 5 pro?
The 44mm is not too bad, but everybody gets a different battery life. If you're not a hardcore user then it's probably fine.
I've watched countless reviews up to now about the pro watch. What I got is, There is nothing different except biggee battery. So the question here, Is it worth the big number to get the pro version over the 4 classic and the other GW5. Or not that much and should save money and get one of them.
Well if your an outdoor/adventure type of person then it would be worth to upgrade to Pro. That's what the pro is design for. I'm not that type of person so that's why I brought the regular 5 instead of pro
@@sylvesterfoster5957 I dont go on long trips. But I need the LTE version. So I guess thats like an equal reason to what you mentioned.
I think the sapphire glass is a nice uptick as well. I don't think the previous models have this.
is it possible to install Tidal?
Does the watch notify you when you're feeling stressed?
I think I mentioned this in the video. But unfortunately no, it doesn't. But I've heard that they'll add this feature at some point with a software update.
Lol if you're stressed, should you not be able to recognize it without a device telling you?
🤣
I guess I'm missing the point here. Are we turning into cyborgs?
@@davidsong5315 Not necessarily unfortunately. Not everyone and not every day you get the same physiological reaction. If you start monitoring your stress level carefully with a reliable device you can clearly see days where you're seemingly fine and yet due to higher stress your energy level drops much faster and so on which affects everything including how you sleep that night. A higher than usual stress alert can immediately remind you to take it easy and maybe do actions to lower it a bit.
Another point is that a good device can sometimes measure the higher stress level before (as a result of continuous high stress) you get any reaction like headaches, etc.
@@RyansTechMedia yes thats what im trying to avoid, especially at work when i have to focus on the tasks that i dont notice my stress level steadily increasing. Its only when i get from work that i feel the aftereffects like rash breakouts, etc. Thanks for your reply, i'll try to find another alternative!
How are getting 30+ hours batterylife? I can't even get a full 24 hrs.
It might be that because the watch is new you use it slightly more often. But yeah this is the problem with this watch and that's why it's not my daily driver. And yet there are some people who claim they get 4 or 5 days! If that's true it means they turn off pretty much every useful feature on this watch.
He has the 44mm. I was disappointed not to see it more clearly stated in the description but you can see it at 6:20. Do you have the 40mm?
@@mrsstaypuft3822 Thanks for the feedback. I've added this to the title of the video.
Can I do calling with this smart watch ? Plz reply
Only if it is the LTE model, the Bluetooth version can't do calling.
Only I want to know water resistant underwater
In fresh water yew in water whit clorene and salt it damages watch
I have a watch 5 pro coming from a 3, I don't miss the rotating bezel and I didn't get a 4 when it came out because I thought I would. On my 3 I got 3 days on a single battery. The watch 5 pro I got to 4 and 33% left. I charged it because I wanted to test out sleep app tonight
Are you running LTE?
@@chrislarson6589 no, I'm never without my phones. My job requires me having them on me. I get this type of battery life because I have few notifications pushed through the phone. My watch face is kept simple, no AOD, times out within 5 seconds, I have to push a button to wake the watch, dim is set to low, etc
Use watch 5 pro
How do you measure BP? I don't see it?
You can see it at 07:23 Kristin. Thanks for watching!
Like Kristin says ... I don't find blood pressure measuring function anywhere. Where on the watch is it located?
I thought she couldn't find that in the video! You need to live in one of these countries: Australia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Chile, Croatia, Cyprus, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Hungary, Iceland, Indonesia, Ireland, Italy, Korea, Latvia, Lithuania, Netherlands, Norway, Paraguay, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, UK and UAE
The other countries need to approve those features first to make them available.
Nah if you are a lefty the watch is supposed to be on the right arm 😊
I think you misunderstood me! That's exactly what I'm saying in the video: a lefty who wears the watch on the right wrist can enjoy rotating the screen to use the buttons easier.
What is your wrist size?
More or less 7 inches.
@@RyansTechMedia my wrist size is 7.3 inch. Is 44mm perfect or I need to go 40mm? What you think?
I think so. Even if the 40mm looks better on your wrist, because of an even worse battery life I don't usually recommend it. By at the end of the day it's a personal preference to choose a smaller smartwatch or bigger one.
@@RyansTechMedia OK. Thanks for answering my quarries.
@@saltnpepper6675 No problem, thanks for watching!
Hope to get a reply...can we write a message on the watch..and send a text...
