In the 90s, everything was "Turbo". In the 2000s, everything was "HD". In the 2010s, everything was "smart" and today, everything is "Pro" haha
You're just too cheap to buy the pro version...it costs me 430 Euro minus 150 Cashback so it was around 280 with the band.
Bigger storage, more energy, track back function in the 5pro and ability to download maps and roads, also the embedded display protects it from breaking.
Don't forget "Plus" in the 10s lmao
@@maxmusterwitzig9287 wrong comment doofus
@@maxmusterwitzig9287 That’s because you got “cash back”.
Expect "Ultra" soon.
I can't believe they removed the rotating bezel. Pretty much the only reason I was a loyal Galaxy Watch user in the first place, as you can still use it in wet situations that would make it impossible to use the touchscreen.
I've never had issues using the touch on my galaxy watch when wet or under water. Are you sure you are doing it right?
@@lewismackay9533 Turning on water lock for the Watch 4 completely disables the touchscreen, and according to the manual you should "be sure" to turn water lock on when using the watch in water.
Yeah, with that gone the only smart watch that can be actually used underwater is the Apple watch ultra.
Not just that, but rotating bezel was literally the only thing that justified the round shape. Without rotating bezel, a round watch is totally inferior to a square-one.
@@ebsolas or non-touchscreen ones. lol. People seem to forget/ignore the whole world of watches that dont market themselves as "smart watches".

I used to watch your tutes to edit my COD videos, crazy seeing your comment here now
WRONG! *"MY MOOOM!"*
Oh don’t give them ideas…
Tbh there's only so many times you can innovate what a watch looks like. Though as a Galaxy Watch 4 user, the rotating bezel is both a useful feature and adds to the look of the watch, shame they got rid of that
Honestly. I might've even considered upgrading to the newer model if it had that. The sapphire glass and titanium case alone are a really nice add--though I'd probably use the default black band the Watch4 Classic came with.
So stupid that they did that.
well...the big battery alone making upgrade worth it...but bezel....i'm missing it...
I wonder if anyone would have considered a mundane change in shape of a watch an "innovation" of any kind, before they started considering them gadgets 😂
The lack of rotating bezel was a big dealbreaker for me. Probably one of the best features on the Watch4 Classic. If anything, now that it's being discounted that might be the model to get for someone who doesn't have either. They do share the same processor.
Who knows, they might bring it back in the next iteration if this years model doesn't sell well.
I can't believe they took it off. Hard pass.
@@sidd0123 that's exactly what they'll do. Then they will advertise it as a feature
I can't really get of you're joking or not cause it's kinda useless on a smartwatch, but ok
You're right. And as Samsung own the patent to a rotating bezel, they are at this point patent squatting.
I won't buy a cheap looking round apple watch clone. I want to be able to control my volume and device when running with the bezel, not literally having to stop running and play swipe games.
Seeing him how he struggled to figure out how deployment clasp works was kinda painful
I think the only watch this guy has ever owned is a smart watch.
Yup, legit took me 10 seconds to figure out on my own
Seeing Jake in forefront of a video where he is not at linus's new house is refreshing...
They finally released him from the dungeon.
I've never seen someone screw up putting on a watch band so badly. Like no shade but you almost did it backwards 😆
Fun fact: In the truck word, the Ford F-150 Lightning Pro is the cheapest trim because it's actually for professionals (work truck with no fancy amenities).
Prolaps is for those who are professional and like doing laps
It's also only capable of towing a trailer about 80 MI.
How do you define a truck for professionals? The Maverick and Ranger are cheaper and could be used as a work truck.
@@jordanmartinetti8224 Bed is way to small for those.
Didnt know that. Sounds great and actually realistic 💪😎

Isn't that pretty much the target market for both smartwatches and this channel though? Basically zero millennials wear watches.
@@KarlBaron I prefer real watches and I'm in that arbitrary bracket.
@@funkmon I‘ve never seen those clasps with a magnet, though…
exactly.
I was thinking the same thing lol
I'm sure other commentors have pointed some of this out, but as an owner, I had a couple of comments . . . 1st: when I Get the clasp set up the way I like it, it's set it and forget it (and quite comfy), but I do not like that it gets in the way of charging sometimes (I get around this by inverting it)
2nd: it does actually have a new sensor vs the previous gen, which is a temperature sensor. It doesn't do anything yet though, to be fair, but I'm sure it will. 🙂
Good having coments because this video was really a low effort. Not the ltt standard
"They look the same as the old ones" says someone using an Apple Watch.
he hates on Samsung , but praises apple for a cheap ass watch band.
He literally preferred the watch 5 watch band, what are you on about?
@KeonXD compare to the watch 5 pro band not the apple one lol .
The battery life upgrade ALONE is worth the upgrade. over 3-4 DAYS of battery life in a single charge WITHOUT a battery saver enabled! Also we have upgraded materials TITANIUM casing on the 5 pro and sapphire crystal covering the display in both watch 5 and 5 pro. Also the watch 5 / 5pro now feature a temperature sensor which is nice.
I had been telling time like an amateur my whole life.
dude, the sleep tracking is the only reason i own a smartwatch...
It explains a lot if you struggle during a long workout. Then you see the sleep you actually got last night and understand why.
Ask any Apple watch owner, they just charging them every night.
@@vadnegru nope, and especially not with the Ultra
@@vadnegru nah I charge it in the morning when I’m in the shower and getting ready for 30 minutes :D
I upgraded from the galaxy watch 1 42mm to the 5 pro and I honestly don't miss the rotating bezel as it always got gunked up with dirt and pulling off the bezel to clean wasn't too bad but it's hard to keep track of all the little balls.
You should have tried the watch4 bezel. Wayyyyyyyy better than the 1. It being missing on the 5 is a tragedy
Stop calling things pro: Okay, What about Ultra then?
can the galaxy watch 5 pro be submerged under 100 meters of water and be used as a dive computer?
@@danielhirsh2937 there really is no competitor to the Watch Ultra
idk why but a lot of people put the band on wrong
because it's shit and complicated.
I just bought a Watch 4 classic as a replacement for my Gear S3 (that still works fine after 4 years btw.) I didn't bother with the 5 because the rotating bezel is gone. This feature is so good. It feels great to interact with the watch using the lunette plus you don't smear all over the screen all the time and you can interact with it while wearing gloves. Round watches look great with the round screen and the lunette was THE killerfeature to buy one from Samsung imho. I hope they are going to add it again in the future
It's really funny that a lot of tech reviewers will quickly and quietly move past Apple products being the same thing each year but then actively stop and give it's competitors shit for it.
have you been on the internet? every single tech reviewer gives apple shit for iphones being the same every year with an updated camera
@@jamshush Yes, did you read my comment? Or were you too caught up in trying to be a jackass?
cus this one can be considered a downgrade
@@jamshush right? idk what this guy is on about
It's really funny how this isn't true at all. You seem to have an agenda . . .
Just like any other tech product, never upgrade unless something broke on your previous device. The real smart move is to keep things going - repair them, service them. Marketing will always try to sway you to spend money unnecessarily.
Or unless it no longer suits your needs, like old GPUs and CPUs slowly being less and less competitive. Doesn't mean you should upgrade every generation or anything like that, just that it's not wrong to upgrade if you're not getting the kind of performance you want out of games.
I just replaced my Gear S3 Frontier watch after 4 years because it is just outdated and scuffed up pretty good but it still works fine. Even the battery still keeps the watch running for up to 3 days.
Samsung just bricked my GW4Classic with a software update.....now it doenst charge, doesnt turn on, nothing....reached out to support they offered to fix mine for free (or give me a new (same model) device if needed.
Also offered a discounted 5 Pro Golf (which I ended up getting) for a measly $317.......
Considering they were the ones that broke my previous device, I wish I had a bigger discount.....
I love how the end of the gateway to the sponsor is the most replayed section
I have used the pro for about a month and a half. I haven't been bothered by the physical bezel being removed so far I have never had a case for using it. Even if swimming I just put on water mode. The side button controls stop pause and finish so its not really an issue. The sensors are great, it is very accurate and knows when I have just been sitting, or if I am active it starts tracking my exercise for me. I have been using it heavily as I normally workout for about 2 to 3 hours a day and a charge normally last 2 with a good 15% left over. I have just switched to charging it while I take my showers though and now do not have to worry about it dying. For the band I have the magnetic one. When adjusted I often forget about it being on my wrist. I love how easy it makes taking it on and off though so I have stuck with it. My labtop does have a metal surface though and I have noticed the metal on metal is very unsettling. So I just move the watch a bit further up my wrist while I am using it to not make contact. Have not used the hiking map feature but when I looked at how to do it. You have to upload a trail file from your phone for each different trail head you might go on.
Still think that my galaxy watch 4 classic is way better than any of these for one simple reason: the rotating bezel is mechanical, and not just software and vibrations.
Just bought the 4 classic because the 5 has no lunette....and it's half the price 😅
I actually love the new watch band for the pro. I like the look and how easy it is to put on once sized. The magnetic piece at the bottom does not bother me at all. The battery is great on the pro. It lasts two nights and three days where my watch 4 did not even last the full day.
I pre-ordered the GW5 because I got a great deal through a discount program I get through work, plus I traded in my original GW active. I like the 5 a lot, but it's funny that all of the accessories for the 5 we're made for the GW4.
Edit because I see others mentioning it: I got the active because I have small wrists and I work in a data center environment where I'm constantly reaching into small spaces. A larger watch wasn't feasible for me so I was never a fan of the rotating bezel because of this. Having said that, it would be nice if the larger version had the rotating bezel for those that want it, it's been a staple of the GW family so idk why they would get rid of it.
That uniloop band stretches out to a point that it becomes too loose..
It has an expiry date, almost like planned obsolescence, Apple wants you to like it so that you can buy more of these every few months (or days) based on your usage.
Pretty accurate. Loved the braided solo loop it was fantastic. I even bought a size smaller than recommended and it still ended up stretching to the point of being unwearable.
Recently got the Nike Sport loop and so far it’s been pretty great
if you give this kind of energy to the Galaxy, u should honestly be more brutal to the new Apple's watch, since the changes is even less.
personally i think the changes they did with this are good except for two, naming, and the removal of rotating bezel
@potatophant 9999 out of 100000 people will never use airbags. Such a useless thing to have.
@Bzake being the perfect smart watch isn't a huge feat lmao everyone has great smartwatches they've plateaued.
@bzake I'd love to hear how their health is far more "detailed". Enjoy ur 1 day battery I'll keep enjoying my 4 days Samsung watch 5p. 1:1 to my medical blood ox, heart rate, ecg, ect. Apple makes great watches. People need to get their brown nosing of apple a break. Samsung is great also. It's unfortunate that both are locked in their own eco systems now. Those of us that have both and have the ability to experience both side by side can clearly see the bias it's beyond stupid. But no doubt if they weren't, locked more people would see how stupid this whole thing is. Apple and Samsung are on par with amazing technology on both. Unfortunately - Apple has the brand name tax attached and people have the need to feel superior cause unfortunately Apple likes to milk their customers extra hard.
@Bzake Sure, I think having safety features like car crash detection is good, but I wouldn't call them perfect. Battery life, and I would rather have better sleep tracking over car crash detection. It's cool that Apple Watches finally get sleep tracking though :)
@potatophant You would avertise the first car that has an airbag though.
but why would I buy this when clearly only Apple watches can save my life in an emergency??? can't believe ShortCircuit condones death, smh my head
what?
But it can't save your life in an emergency if the batteri is dead! Can't believe that Shortcircuit covers these watches instead of the Iridium 9555 Satellite Phone with solar charging. SMH my head!!1!
@@Lu-db1uf It's a joke about Apple's fall event which had an introductory video that focused on the apple watch and iphone saving peoples lives and messages to Tim Cook about Apple saving their lives. LTT and many others have made fun of it for how goofy it is.
Can’t believe you all are covering watches when only god can save you in emergencies! You all condone death smh my head!!’11!’n!
You know android watches have had the same feature since 2019, right?
I'm still using an old Amazfit Pace which has a Zirconia Ceramic bezel and zero scratches whatsoever. I would really like to see this material used more often. Yes, it's more brittle than metal but it feels premium and is very scratch resistant. At least for the non pro models, zirconia could work great.
that's the type of clasp that's used on luxury watches like Omega. not sure if it would be the same quality but I'm impressed by the design of the band
Yup, a "butterfly clasp"
Ive always wondered if the ecg in watches are any good and going by that readout I dont think so. The way you're supposed to complete the circuit makes it very difficult to not tense any muscles in your arms, which results in a LOT of interference. You can pretty much just see the RR interval here, whereas with a thumb ecg you can get a graph you can actually show a doctor.
it actually is good. There's a ton of posts on r/galaxywatch of people showing the watch ecg next to a real ecg monitor and it's always either right on or off my 1 or 2 points. So it's actually really accurate.
Idk if this has been said before, but for that 799$ price, doesn’t Apple Watch ultra have titanium too? Samsung definitely undercuts it but I am not so sure about the watch 5 pro tbvh, is from a Samsung user.
I was able to get one a little before release for an unboxing and while there are a few growing pains, I'm enjoying it so far. I thought I would dislike the lack of rotating bezel, especially with how much I bump into things, but that part I've gotten used to pretty fast. All the apps I use daily are fast and easy and just there. My only real complaint is that you have to be connected to a phone to use speech to text. You CAN NOT use it in LTE mode for that.
In the A/V industry, where I work, most real "pro" equipment just has a descriptive letter and number combination. Most of the equipment which is actually labelled with "pro" in the name, is usually consumer stuff.
guys, I honestly never saw someone having so much trouble with a deployant watch. like seriously, I used those since I was 14 and never struggled once, and nobody I know ever did, so that's either the worst deployant ever, or I don't know man...
I absolutely love my Galaxy Watch 5 Pro. It's by far the best watch I've ever used. Also, that band is the most convenient band there is really. It's not as much of a problem as you're trying to make it out to be.
It's has got a new sensor by the way. It has a body temperature sensor which I believe is a first in wearables. Unfortunately it's just not active at the moment as they are still figuring the laws pertaining to it in each region.
I got a Watch4 Classic for the rotating bezel and when I bump and scrape my watch on stuff I'm genuinely surprised it has no scratches. My only issue is the leather band is falling apart already..
Let’s call them ultra.
Plus Ultra.
apple already has.
It must be a generational thing, but to me that is a very common and comfortable clasp. I changed my plastic galaxy strap for a stainless steel one, with this clasp. And only then did I really like my watch. Great video, and thanks for the laugh, watching you guys figure it out.
Can you send a link for those stainless steel straps ?
“I don’t know who’s crazy enough to wear a watch while sleep”. Maybe someone who needs to wake up at a specific time to - I don’t know - work
No issues with the Pro name here. You have a regular one and one with added features. It was classic before, didn't make much sense. Now it's in line with the naming of other products like phones and tablets.
Samsung has a trade-in program. I traded my 3 Titanium (which had a metal clasp) for a discount on a 5 pro and enjoying the new features and the updated OS. I did not have the same issues with the clasp. I'm guessing these guys have never had a traditional clasp watch before? Unlike a traditional clasp it's nice that it's adjustable to your wrist and you just pull to separate. The lip definitely helps if you knocking your wrist around things, so it's a good deterrent against damage to the screen.
Just like someone said it before, the rotating bezel was something i thought was really cool on these watches. Although i cannot wear any watch, to me it feels really bad to wear them, over time i feel my wrists start to hurt (tried multiple brands).
The funny thing is the price, in my country it costs around 520 USD... I could buy a mid range phone, or an airpods max for that price.
Even a series 7 Apple watch cost only 400USD. I would not buy this watch, the band looks awful as well. I have Samsung fit 2? But the way you have to lock it on your wrist it just sucks. Why using such a stupid locking mechanism? Was the normal way not good enough?
The clasp I guess is more like a business style of watch, but in my experience it only works on hard watch bands, otherwise it does not work
Might be due to friction, which can become an issue either when the band is too tight or too lose. Also, you should wash your watch daily. And it could also be sensitive skin or allergy.
I have a couple of 20 buck smartwatches I bought on ebay. They are light, comfortable and simple to use. The gear S3 I have it gathering dust.
that is a traditional clasp on normal watches so not being able to use an old school clasp is quite surprising tbh
I have a pixel coming from iphone and I miss my apple watch. Is the Galaxy watch where I should be looking or should I check another brand out?
Agreed with the video's title. A lot of cheap devices now have the Pro moniker, which is really funny
I really like my new Watch5 Pro. Bought with EPP without band, as the stock one felt bad. Also, in the UK Samsung accepts any smartwatch for trade-in for a 100 pounds discount. Even a cheap Chinese tracker with watch display. Ended up having one for a bargain price.
Get a watch 4 classic and realise what you've lost.
@@NeonVisual well you gained about 2 days of more battery life.
@@cooluser23 Nonsense.
In reality it's about 2/3s of a single day. The GW4 classic has 360mAh and lasts 24 hours with every feature and sensor turned on.
In order to extend that to 2 full days days the battery would need to be doubled to 720mAh.
The GW5 pro actually only has 590mAh, so that leaves you short of two days. What is the point in an extra half a day? You're still going to need to charge it daily unless you want to run out of power half way through the 2nd day.
@@NeonVisual Actually it is about 2 more days.... 4 days (actually almost 5) in total for battery life. You're taking into account only the battery life, the processor upgrades and others also contribute to the better battery... I switched from a GW4 to a GW5 pro and I'm getting 4 1/2 days of battery under full use... calling, texting, all health features turned on and so on.... my biggest conundrum with smart watches is battery life and I have to say I am thoroughly impressed with the changes brought to the GW5 pro
@@rumplestiltskin3441 Processor isn't the main cause of battery drain thanks to the co-processor. The primary batter drain is the display. If you work out every day for an hour and making full use the data, you're not going to get 2 days out of it.
Yeah they do look similar to the previous version but so does the apple watch that he is wearing
lately youtubers praise everything apple does.
@@alejandronuno9829 bad take you’re cynical
@@PhaythGaming ratio
@@alejandronuno9829 it's the opposite you mean
Apple really try do to something new with every generation. While this lacking rotating bezel might turn away previous model enjoyers.
Correct me if I'm wrong but, doesn't the watch pro 5 have a temperature sensor?
To that clasp, i use a Fitbit watch and it has the older clip in style and the clip constantly comes undone and sometimes falls out entirely as it just sits in a hole
I mean I definitely like the titanium and sapphire glass for the decent price. For me the apple watch would be close to perfect if it had slightly more battery life. Having to charge twice a day if you want to do sleep tracking just outright sucks. I refuse to use a fitbit with how they are now locking features behind a premium subscription. I almost considered the apple watch ultra because I am pretty hard on watches but ugg I hate paying for LTE when I am not going to use it. I really wish there would have been a version that was 100 cheaper with no LTE.
I currently own a Watch 4 Classic and I really wanted the Apple Watch Ultra, but it turns out it's not compatible with android devices and I have a S22U, that sucks but I guess it's to be expected from an Apple product. And there is no way in hell I'm switching to an iPhone just to have an Apple watch.
And I thought Apple was overly generous with the name pro (more so with the iPhones).
they used to have a good naming scheme, and different ("Classic"for the more expensive one)
@@ezrapardede1921 Marketing go brrrr
I like how the s
Galaxy watch 5 doesn't have a design change and reviewers go mad but apple has the same design since the first watch and everyone is ok with it.
I wear my smart band 6 when I sleep everday. Been 2 years nothing happened to it. The size is not the same but I don't think it would change things much.
Gives it grief for looking the same.... wears an Apple watch.
Don't be too hard on them, apparently Linus hires special needs people who can't figure out a watch band.
If you really want to set things on fire, try changing the title to "Stop with the pro nouns!"
Naw, they too woke for that
Have they fixed the overheat issue while on lte and listening to Bluetooth. 2 mins and it's shutting down
PLEASE cover garmin, their birthday was recently and I'm wondering what to buy
When you have adjusted the band, you need to put the mini clasp down to lock the position on the band and then it doesnt hurt your arm when you put it down and after that it opens and closes very fast with the magnet.
My plan was to use the watch 4 until it dies. But I'm still annoyed they didn't release a 'classic' variant this time around. It get so fiddly at times with the small screen that it's just really nice to have the ability to use the dial as well. But I'm just hoping my galaxy watch 4 doesn't die like my galaxy watch 1 did where it burned my wrist and then shut itself down.
is this a reupload, I am having the biggest deja vu rn
In Europe the Galaxy watch 4 classic can be had for 200€, which is a lot better deal than these new ones
That´s why I just upgraded from my Watch 44mm BT to a Watch 4 46mm BT. The Watch 4 Classic was a snatch at 189 € at the last Prime Day sale compared to the upcoming Watch 5 .
In my experience with the Watch 5 Pro I'm getting 4+ days on a single charge (or 96+ hours). Also there is a new sensor (a temperature sensor) that's supposed to help with sleep tracking that isn't functional yet (whenever the government agencies approve it). And while I do miss the rotating bezel of my GW4 Classic, I've actually gotten used to not having one anymore. And yeah, I didn't even fuss about with the band the GW5 Pro came with, I immediately uninstalled it and put on my Velcro strap that I used on my old watch. I have also noticed that due to the slightly different design of how the sensor sits on the wrist, it's actually more accurate and consistent when using the heart rate measuring continuously. And in my experience the watch actually charges pretty fast despite it having a massive battery. It's so much cheaper than Apples Ultra expensive model they just released.
I would rather have the watch 4 with a rotating bezel that allows me to actually interact with the device when running, and not at all interested in a temperature sensor, or a thicc watch as I charge all of my devices daily on the way to work.
So, just buy the watch 4 then?
This comment is more useful than the video! Thanks.
holy crap that battery life is so awful. If you can't get a week of battery out of a watch then that's just bad.
@@CRneu well it miles ahead of the Apple Watch Ultras paltry 36 hour battery life.
do any of these have the old wrist gestures where you can navigate the watch without your second hand?
"They look like pretty the same"
Wearing the same (literary) design Apple watch for the last ~ 6 years :D
Actually, I like the slower innovation pace more because my current products don't get outdated as quickly
I know people miss the bezel, but the bezel made the Watch overall bigger and thicker without adding any battery life OR screen size. The current watches are smaller with a larger battery. So in turn, it is more wearable for a larger audience. although i completely understand missing the utility of a physical bezel.
The bezel was everything.
@OrderFlowArchives it's one of those things where which one you would rather have. A 42 mm watch with a smallish battery and screen. Or a 40mm with a bigger battery and similar screen. Most people complain wearables have shit battery life so Samsung chose the bigger battery option
I've always had an Otterbox EXO Edge case on my Apple Watch. It makes it slightly bigger, but it's great protection.
The "needs a mobile network connection" thing is definitely for region locking. I had to travel across the border to Germany to be able to activate the damn app (found that out while on a road trip).
I've never noticed the clasp on the Watch 5 Pro as uncomfortable, but maybe my arms are too spindly.
I'm sure there are easier ways to side load the app.
I keep enjoying my 3-4 days real world usage on my watch5. Having Apple and Samsung side by side this generation. I choose Samsung without a doubt
3-4 days is absolutely awful battery life. This comment section is blowing my mind with what people put up with on "smart" watches.
@@CRneu well compare to apple, 3-4 days is great.
Compare to my old Huawei gt watch that lasts a week but can't connect to anything and tells me it is 3 am when it is noon, it isn't great
how do you manage that? without aod, tilt to wake etc enabled? i can only manage 1 and a half.
I don't really have a lot of excitement for smart watches. The only reason I wanted one in the first place was after learning that Fitbits use web technologies like XML and CSS for their displays, so I made a custom display for myself and have never upgraded past my Versa 2.
Thanks for sharing and adding literally nothing to the conversation. I absolutely cannot stand folks like you who have an unnatural need to say "i don't like that" about videos where you probably shouldn't have even bothered clicking in the first place.
Knob
i didn't know fitbits could do that, a custom watch face with xml???
thanks for sharing might try and get my hands on one
You don‘t like people who dislike content? I guess you didn‘t get how opinions work. This is the internet, and not happy world where everyone has to be a fan.
@@nohero178 settle down Karen. Saying you don’t like something is no more valid or invalid than likening something.
You Linus simps get so touchy about criticism
I found the bezel-battery trade off was worth it. The bezel was nice, but not necessary. The pro edition also has a lip that has kept my watch even more protected, and the battery like I said is SO worth it. I went from charging my 4 classic once a day, to charging my 5 pro twice a week
I have a hand-me down Gear S3 Frontiers. While I find the software very limiting compared to what I see of the Apple Watch or newer Galaxy Watch devices I absolutely adore the "dad watch" feel this specific design gives. Usually I do prefer a sleeker and more low-key look for my devices, but for something like a watch just being a circle looks so boring.
The amount of times he says it's the same as last time physically hurts because even apple does it to their watches (excluding the new pro one)
So it's not bad that it's the same lmao
Supposed to wear it on your wrist, not your hand
You can't figure out a regular clasp band? And what's there to dislike about it? I have GW5 pro and I find this band to be the best and most comfortable compared to other bands, you adjust one size according to your wrist and then it's just the matter of opening or closing the clasp, it's quick and easy to put on and never feels too tight. The thickness of the clasp/magnet might be an issue to some but it didn't bothered me even when typing on a keyboard, I do miss the rotating bazel but it's still a great watch.
Man I loved that rotating bezel! A shame my classic aouldnt turn on anymore and had to trade it for a 5 pro. The pro is amazing in its own way with the crazy battery life, but one just cannot beat the bezel
Editing probably should’ve included the series 8 and the Ultra pricing, but oh well
I guess this was made prior to Apple event, but yeah, as a last minute edit could put that somewhere.
Very bias. Typically apple user
Maybe don't have a guy with THEE thiccc-ist wrist I've ever seen review a watch band. Haha!
The clasp was such a difficult thing to manage at first. I like it don't get me wrong but the magnetic force initially is like absurdly strong. 1 month in though now, the magnetic force is still pretty strong, but now I can unclasp it without trouble, might also just be muscle memory
My parents watches have the same mechanism to close the band. Without magnets though and integrated so it’s just as big as the rest of the band.
Not that easy to adjust though.
I have waited for announcement of these 5th generation of watches so I could upgrade my Gear S3 Frontier but after figuring out that it doesnt have rotating bezel and its basically internaly Watch 4 with bigger battery I went for Watch 4 Classic LTE and still safe almost 200€.
the battery in the 5 pro is perfect. I can wear it for 2 days where I couldn't do that with my apple watch or watch4
The next suffix now is "Ultra". I can hear the Killer Instinct announcer screaming "ULTRA!'
Does anyone know where to get that band from jakes apple watch?
These reviews have gotten pretty bad. They are basically full of mistakes that normal tech reviewers would find out during the review, instead we have several pieces of misinformation or small complaints that don't mean anything. I understand this is supposed to be a humorous unboxing channel, but it's often full of misinformation
Who sleeps with their watch? I do. Sleep monitoring is half of the usage for me. My watch lasts about a week on a charge, with all-time heart monitor and sleep, and a bit of gps tracking.
As someone who's still rocking the Galaxy Watch (CB7C), I was excited until I saw they got rid of the rotating bezel. That feature is incredibly handy and extremely intuitive!
I also upgraded from the same watch as well. It's nice upgrade over all, but with tizen, I got 4 days off a single charge. Miss that..
Would be interesting if LTT channel did a "state of smartwatches" (yearly) review
Do it after the Pixel watch comes out.
I actually would like to hear about the privacy of these devices, both in various emissions (does it beacon constantly and make you easier to follow in stores and such?) and also the privacy policy and data transmission (What is it sending and how often?)
the privacy comes with not owning one :)
That's one way to get customers to stick to your brand. They simply cannot get the watch of the arm ;)
You can get it removed at certified retailers IF you choose to upgrade
I upgraded to watch 5 from active 2. I wear watch 5 while sleeping to track my sleep really important and snoring detection is really good.
what I don't like about these short circuit and linus tech tips channels are that they basically do only unboxing and first impressions, read the specs and conclude the video. they dont use it daily enough to review how good or bad the product is because you will only know how good or bad the product and their features are working only after daily driving them for like few days or weeks. they just conclude their thoughts based upon few minutes or hours spent with the products and trying some features either its a watch, earbuds, tv, laptops or phones
You literally have an apple watch on, and yet you talk about the new watch looking the same as before?? lol
This guy must have the weakest fingers in his age group.
as for selling your watch 4 for a 5 I traded my watch 4 into samsung for £100 off a watch 5 pro, that's probably the best way to go. The watch 5 pro also has a skin temp sensor on it but it's not used yet.
That heart rhythm looked like atrial fibrillation, WTF? 😂
Watching these I wonder why Garmin devices keep getting over looked.
because they look like junk.
They are not for techies actually so they skip on look and feel to focus on sport things. Also military people loves them.
So glad I’m in the Apple ecosystem and just use a Apple Watch. All these other watches look so crappy
@@vadnegru As a techie I love my Garmin watch. It has much more "tech" than any Samsung or Apple watch.
