I have seen 2 other videos in your channel before and this my 3rd video. Thank you for your honest review and thank you for putting your videos in 4K quality. I'm still debating to get the new Samsung watch 5 pro but we will see, have a good evening. 🌹
I have the LTE version of the Galaxy watch 5 pro. After a 3 day camping trip, I had 14% still remaining. I had GPS on, Wi-Fi off, AoD off, Bluetooth on, sleep tracking on, and brightness at 50-60%. We did a tracked hike of 70-90 minutes on 2 days. I was quite happy with the battery life. My only complaint is with the magnetic band. It did unlatch itself multiple times when scaling more rough terrain, as it brushed against object. I will need to find a good replacement for the band. P.S. there is a way to enable Blood Pressure monitoring by removing the geo-restictions...however, you sacrifice the ability to sync the data into the Samsung Health app directly.
Hi from Portugal! Great Review! What would you buy between GW 5 Pro and Garmin Venu 2 Plus? I work in a Gym and do a lot of exercise and some runs so i need a equipment who have good HR monitor and good fitness features. I know Garmin is more builld for atlhetes than GW and more accurate in different measurements. Have you another suggestion to Buy? Thanks
If you are looking for the better fitness watch it's definitely the Venu 2. The only other option would be the Fitbit Sense, but I would still take the Venu 2. Hopefully that is helpful
@@FitnessWithFrost hi thanks for help! I also saw the Polar alternatives, Vantage V2, Grit X pro & Pacer pro, i dont see many differences between these SW. And the other alternative are Coros Apex 2 Pro. I m very undecided because there are many option on the market. I already seen many reviews of this devices and i cant decide which one to buy 😅 Can you help me pls?
Please learn that Google Assistant and Bixby are not the same type of assistants. Although they can do some of the same things, Bixby is an assistant for the watch, phone, tablet ect interface. GA is for web search. Please take time to learn that so you won't be making the incorrect comparison.
I understand where you are coming from, but you also have to understand how they were trying to sell Bixby for the first couple years and the next best assistant. When they learned that they couldn't keep up with others in that then they leaned into it just being more of a device assistant. That's really not what people are looking for in general though
@@FitnessWithFrost I understand you. Samsung marketed it right. I feel people just heard the word "Assistant" and immediately thought it was meant the same assistance as Google Assistant. However, what I heard from RUclipsrs was that Bixby is not as good as GA. That comment got picked up by most every RUclipsr and it was constantly repeated. Hearing them say that told me that they had no idea what Bixby was meant for. If they'd read the tutorials that Samsung included and still includes they would have known it's use purpose and not unnecessarily compared the 2. Hearing you and others still throw in a little comment saying that GA is a better assistant or I prefer GA tells me that Bixby is still misunderstood and people have not takened the time to find what is used for. And actually it's very useful if you know what it can help you do.
I can totally understand that. I might change my wording around a bit on my Galaxy Watch 5 review. But thank you for the week thought it constructive criticism
They aren't the most accurate in the world, but I would trust it's body fat measurement over any of the smart scales I have tested thus far. Hopefully that is helpful
I want the black pro so bad, but I don't want to pay full price. I also don't want to trade in my gw3 because of the bezel. lol I'll just wait for the next sale on the gw5 pro. Thanks to your review, I'll know what's up.
Sadly I never got my hands on the Amazfit, but I'm general Samsung tends to be a little bit more accurate on both ends. Hopefully that is at least a little helpful
It is. I've been living what Amazf8t had been doing, but I can only budget so many expensive watches before I go broke sadly. When I get a bit bigger I might get review samples
I think a lot will come down to user interface. The Wear OS send to be the better option here. You're going to get faster charging and a bigger battery on the Samsung, but it did look like the Huawei does have the more advanced duel band GPS. I never gotten my hands on the GT3 personally, but from what I researched and you already having a Samsung phone then I would choose the Galaxy watch 5 pro. Hopefully that was helpful
Did I not go into it in the video? That's my fault. I'm a fitness instructor for a living so I'm always using it for time and what not. Are you getting 3 days with sleep tracking?
13 things Samsung is NOT telling you about the new Galaxy watch 5 1- Saphire glass is more scratch resistant, however shatters more easily. (This is why true time pieces don't use it) 2- The watch 5 looks the way it does, because Samsung decided to drop their actual watch partner in favor of in house design (Google still works with scoggin and fossil tho) 3- The battery is only bigger because the sensors have been upgraded, they added more tracking,and added another unnecessary sensor. More features all the time requires more battery usage...thus the bigger battery. 4- They decided to pull a page out of Apples playbook by designing the watch in such a way, that you almost are required to purchase a special cradle charger because the regular ones no longer work, and the shape of the bands prevents it from being used on most Samsung chargers made for watches, INCLUDING the one that came with it/ with the pre order... So now not only are they not including a charging brick...they are essentially making you purchase their new separate chargers as well. (Apple did this almost every year with their Mac books if you remember) 5 - it's basically the same specs as the Watch 4 under the hood, just with a new body. 6- They went with Titanium, not because of any light weight it has, or allergy issues. It was released in titanium because titanium can't be put into other colors without using acid based primers and all that stuff 8 can explain if you'd like... Basically they did this to prevent the issue with people asking for other colors...now they don't need to worry about that...u get black and grey...ta-da! 7- The new sensor probably won't be ready to use until the Watch 6 is released. 8- Almost every update the watch 5 has (including watch faces but minus the new sensor) will be pushed via an update to the Watch 4 series9- There are many unworked bugs in the system they knew about but released it anyway so they had a full line up on their last presentation. 10- They forgot to mention how the watch now doesn't like to play well with other phones that aren't a Samsung...granted a few things were cut off if you didn't own a Samsung phone....now even if it's an Android itself, you lose out of even more. 11- That strap is a sad excuse to not even give you a faux leather one anymore, because one wouldn't even look good on it. 12- that new "rotating the screen" to mimic the old rotating bezel...well that actually takes up battery as well. Every time you preform that, it's a gusture..just auto turned on backed into the system. Gustures take up battery, as well as the haptic feedback it gives you as part of its imitation. Just another reason for that bigger battery.. 13- This is the Galaxy Active line, rebranded. Until further backlash reverses the decision, the Classic line has silently been discontinued in favor of the more sporty Apple-esgue appearance.
I appreciate the well thought it response and some of those issues were in the video. But did you actually watch the video or did you just copy and paste this comment of multiple videos?
I'm a little surprised that Samsung and Apple can actually stay in business with watches that can't last a full day. But sure, they admittedly do more than some competitors like Amazfit. But personally it'd be hard to justify paying 4 times more to have an actual spotify app or a keyboard on my watch and reduce the battery life from 2 weeks to 1 day. It'd be maybe acceptable in a more entry level product but 300-500€ watch can't die in a day. It's somewhat pathetic to have to market the product that it charges fast while you are in the toilet so you can even get through one day lol. Obviously having to charge basically over night also kinda kills sleep tracking unless you wanna top it off between waking up and heading out, but... why? Competitors don't need to do that. I just.. dont get it.
I definitely agree. Everytime I get to test out a watch where I don't need to worry about battery life it just feels so much better. But since Apple kind of started the trend it became almost acceptable. If they ever made a watch that had a week worth of battery life it would blow people's minds
Yeah I know what you mean. You don't miss it as much you think you will, but I agree. The one reason I started wearing the S3 was it looking more like a watch then a smart watch

@@FitnessWithFrost you're welcome. Thank you for doing the review. I have the watch 5 pro and your review was helpful to me.
Good luck with your new band!
Hi, please share the link for the band you are using, i don't see it in the description. thank you!
Totally forgot to add it. Just added it in. Thank you!
I would love to get that 5 pro & with my 4 classic I can get it for a great price. But I really don't want to lose the rotating bezel.
Great video dude! Do you think it can last 15 hours in full running gps mode?
Samsung says it can last 20 hours in GPS mode. Hopefully that is helpful
Which is better for fitness and general health tracking this or huawei watch gt3 pro for you?
Great review!
I wonder how accurate the body composition measurements are ?
They aren't the most accurate in the world, but I would trust it's body fat measurement over any of the smart scales I have tested thus far. Hopefully that is helpful
@@FitnessWithFrost thank you very much!
Not a problem. Good luck on your fitness journey
@@FitnessWithFrost you too !:)
Would b great if you review the body composition data has it improved over watch 4?
I might do that. I know it is faster by a decent amount
I want the black pro so bad, but I don't want to pay full price. I also don't want to trade in my gw3 because of the bezel. lol I'll just wait for the next sale on the gw5 pro. Thanks to your review, I'll know what's up.
Yeah that price is very steep. They will definitely have a sale on it in a couple months. I'm glad you enjoyed the review!
Has there been any reason given as to why the blood pressure monitor isn't active in the U.S.?
I'm pretty sure it's needs government approval. It took them a while to allow the ECG, but I haven't heard anything
Hello. If you take care only about HR and GPS accuracy which one would be better Amazfit GTR/GTS 4 or Watch 5 Pro?
Sadly I never got my hands on the Amazfit, but I'm general Samsung tends to be a little bit more accurate on both ends. Hopefully that is at least a little helpful
@@FitnessWithFrost I was under impression that you have tested GTS but maybe I messed up something. Thx for the answer
I've done a good amount of Amazfits but not that one yet
@@FitnessWithFrost is it on your radar?
It is. I've been living what Amazf8t had been doing, but I can only budget so many expensive watches before I go broke sadly. When I get a bit bigger I might get review samples
Hi!
what would you buy between galaxy watch 5 pro and huawei gt3 pro and why?
Thx.
First thing. What smart phone are you using? 2nd. What do you want out of your watch and what are you going to do with it?
@@FitnessWithFrost I use the Galaxy S21, I want the watch for phone notifications and heart rate measurement
What region of the world are you in?
@@FitnessWithFrost România (Europe)

A thanks.. maybe tell people exactly what you do with it since I never have to charge it at night after using it all day. A good 3 day +.
Did I not go into it in the video? That's my fault. I'm a fitness instructor for a living so I'm always using it for time and what not. Are you getting 3 days with sleep tracking?
Where are the band links, please?
I don't have the links for the Samsung ones, they are on their website. I did just add in the one I used for my Watch 4

Can I use my olight magnetic charging cable
Still works with the old one
@@FitnessWithFrost what really. I was joking. The Samsung watch cable Just looks like the Olight Charging cable.
Lol I think I read that and saw magnetic charging cable and didn't read Olight. That's my fault
@@FitnessWithFrost all good.
I luv my Galaxy Watch 5 Pro " 💪💯
Still my daily driver
@@FitnessWithFrost is that the Samsung extreme sport band? I just ordered one for my Watch
Not exactly sure if it's the extreme one, but they do look very similar. I like that band a lot
Thanks!
No rotating bezel? Why? Why Samsung? That's the one feature that left the Apple watch in the dust that Apple had no answer for.
Yeah I know what you mean. You don't miss it as much you think you will, but I agree. The one reason I started wearing the S3 was it looking more like a watch then a smart watch
Anyone still rocking the 5Pro in 2024?
Nobody needs this bullsht, they've just been convinced they think they do.
I mean to that end no one needs anything. Do you really need that smartphone in your hand?
SHIT!!!!
Are you ok?
