UPDATE: First few days wearing any of these new GW5 series watches, you will notice battery may not last more than 1.5 days. If you look under battery settings it will say "Learning your usage patterns". After 2 days the watch will work as normal, giving you your full battery capacity and the message "Learning your usage patterns" will disappear. I have experienced this with GW4, GW5 and GW5 pro. So initially if you get a rubbish battery life, that is the reason. Just keep using it as normal for a few days and it will resolve itself. Thereafter battery life will be much much better. Hope this clears things.
Samsung is excellent at advertising false claims about battery life and I'm sure this watch will be no different. I'm all in on Sammy, so I'm not a hater. I'm just calling it as I've seen it for over a decade now.
Use to have the Galaxy Watch 3 never had a smartwatch for a long time. Now i have been doing many outdoor activities like running and cycling i need a watch again. I have been debating between the galaxy watch 6 and galaxy watch 5 pro now after watching your review i think the 5 Pro will better suited for my lifestyle.
thanks for this, I just bought mine and took it to the gym for the first time, I was disappointed because I could not see my calories as I was on the elliptical, how do I fix this. and is there an online version of the Samsung health ?
i have never ever seen such a detailed review on RUclips. Why didn't I find this channel before, I'm annoyed lol. Great review sir. I have a question to ask though - will they discontinue GW4 BT version soon? By that I mean the updates on the GW4 will not be deli by samsung? I still like my old GW 4 BT version it's decent except for battery. I might (just a probability tho) that I'll switch to iPhone during the new year month so I'm kinda avoiding new GW5 at the moment but still concerned about the GW 4 updates by samsung. Thank you again for your help!
Great video Sir ......question ? with smart watches can you wear them on the inside of your wrist vs facing out ? I prefer wearing my watches facing inside. Will the sensors work the same ?
. Loving the some of the qualities that make this watch a gem .even with improved battery and built quality and materials..sad that it still comes with the same chip set and ram and storage from last years model. Thanks chigz. Awesome job as usual..😁😁😁👍👍👍
My use case is playing offline RUclips music to bluetooth headphones while tracking an activity via GPS. It's asking a lot of the watch really. The CPU to decode the AAC file for the song, the data stream via bluetooth to the airPods and a data stream (or polling to be more exact) to satellites and processing that data for the activity, not to mention all the body sensor data it's processing in real time. Does the watch have the grunt to do that without music 'skipping' for example?
For those of you watching this video in the US, the blood pressure monitor and the temperature sensor is not yet available (today's date is 8-20-22). It is manufactured into the watch it's just not made accessible.
Well done review. I should receive mine on Tuesday. I will see a big difference since I'm using a gear s3. I still see if I miss rotating Bessel . Question, Notifications from WhatsApp are good on the watch?
Have you done any more treadmill testing? the last samsung watch i had was a gear sport, and it was abysmal at accurately tracking my running distance on a treadmill. im hoping this is doing a bit better? i know you did a treadmill test in the video, im just curious if it is consistently showing accurate readings compared to the treadmill itself?
But what about the GPS while walking, running etc? I keep reading bad reviews all over the internet and seeing the discounts on the watches, that is putting me off.
I'm psyched. Can't wait. If you are upgrading your Samsung gear and there's a phone AND watch promo, they goinging to offer the galaxy 5. Heck no, insist on the 5 Pro in the bundle; so instead of the 'free' Gal 5 watch that you aren't really happy with, you get the 5Pro for about $3-$4 extra per month. Never just accept something that's just so so. Speak up and get what makes you happy. ✌. BTW, thank you for this excellent vid. Its very helpful, easy to understand AND entertaining. Blessings for your help.
No, you don't. Save yourself the extra line cost from your carrier if you carry your phone with you when you're out. Also, the LTE models have a staggered delay when it comes to new system updates compared to the BT models. I also hear they get pretty toasty from the LTE chip, and battery takes a hit as well.
Hi Just received my Galaxy Watch5 Pro Bluetooth without the Watch strap spoke to Samsung they are not aware and was told I need to buy from the web site is this right?
Very nice review of the product. I have a question I can't seem to find an answer for though, the frame is made of titanium but what about the back of the watch where the sensors are housed? Is it plastic?
Great Video!!! I'm getting it for Christmas it just came today from Samsung on a PayPal payment plan since I couldn't get it on a payment plan with my phone carrier because they limited the number of devices I can have on my plan but I'll let you know if there's the blood oxygen and the ECG on the watch!!! 🤗⌚️❤️
@@slaydao.g9650 my watch 4 last a whole day with about 30% juice still left when I place it on the charger and I use my watch endlessly throughout the day, so...ion know what u doing...
14:42 IP68. Will it get wet inside after cc. 2 years, like many samsung watches? (e.g.Watch Active2) After the glue is released. Because too much watch price! Great, thorough show video. Thx Chigz!
Thanks for the review. I have read other reviews as well and now I don't know if to cancel the watch 5 Pro that I pre ordered (not yet delivered) and buy watch 4 classic instead, all because of the rotating bezel and the watch 4 classic coming at a lower price. Please advise 🙏
I only got the 5 pro because of the package discount through Samsung. I looked at the 4 and I would have gone that route of I didn't get the 5 pro at such a good price. Either way you'll be happy, but that new build, battery life and quality does make me happy I'm getting the 5pro.
It doesn't exist. That sensor is only used to 'enhance' the readings from the other sensors, sleep in particular. If you have the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic, stay put. Extra battery life is good, but not worth the upgrade (since all other specs are identical, incl. chipset, RAM, and storage).
Good review in that you helped me decide whether or not to ditch my watch 3. Unless I break or lose my current watch, I'll wait another year to see what they come up with. Watch 5/5 Pro simply isn't worth it if you already have one of their older ones
@@stevester1983 yes I know. Also another pair of Buds. (Got 3 unopened in my house). Still means I spend £200 on something that in my case is no different functionally than my watch 3. Also no bezel, no sale. The current design means I'd leave finger prints all over my watch screen.

That's s pretty good detail to mention thank you for this. Till now for me you made the best review for this watch . Great job thanks
Is the picture quality better
Samsung is excellent at advertising false claims about battery life and I'm sure this watch will be no different. I'm all in on Sammy, so I'm not a hater. I'm just calling it as I've seen it for over a decade now.
@@SooHooSamaSito not a surprise . I've seen more than one review showing you can actually get 2-3 decent days of use
It is by far the best review of Galaxy Watch5 PRO on the entire Internet right now. Thank you for all the detailed insights. :)
Great review, thank you. There are so many "reviews" out there just showing Samsung stock footage, nice to find a real review at last.
Appreciate that thanks.
Yeah, it`s rarely on RUclips. Channel is new for me and i like it.
Another good Channel is Flossy Carter.
I just bought one of these tonight with my s23 ultra and buds. Excited as hell mane.
Use to have the Galaxy Watch 3 never had a smartwatch for a long time. Now i have been doing many outdoor activities like running and cycling i need a watch again. I have been debating between the galaxy watch 6 and galaxy watch 5 pro now after watching your review i think the 5 Pro will better suited for my lifestyle.
Best video I've seen yet on this watch!
As of April, there is no BPM in the U.S. The watch has a temp sensor, but that is also not yet in use in the U.S.
For the BP feature, is automatic be use in the watch ? Also can't answer calls ?
thanks for this, I just bought mine and took it to the gym for the first time, I was disappointed because I could not see my calories as I was on the elliptical, how do I fix this. and is there an online version of the Samsung health ?
It should calculate calories for every exercise. You can view the reports after the workout is complete.
i have never ever seen such a detailed review on RUclips. Why didn't I find this channel before, I'm annoyed lol. Great review sir.
I have a question to ask though - will they discontinue GW4 BT version soon? By that I mean the updates on the GW4 will not be deli by samsung?
I still like my old GW 4 BT version it's decent except for battery. I might (just a probability tho) that I'll switch to iPhone during the new year month so I'm kinda avoiding new GW5 at the moment but still concerned about the GW 4 updates by samsung.
Thank you again for your help!
This guy is always in depth with his reviews. He's known more for covering android TV boxes but I'm glad he's doing other product reviews.
Thanks for the review. I remember that in the GW4 it didn't work with Google Assistant. Do we have it in this one?
Great video Sir ......question ? with smart watches can you wear them on the inside of your wrist vs facing out ? I prefer wearing my watches facing inside. Will the sensors work the same ?
Ordered the standard gw5 as my 1st smart watch. Excited still and the free buds
U got free buds with it???
I keep on viewing Galaxy watch 5 videos mostly to convince myself to upgrade, but without the rotating bezel, it's difficult to be convinced.
It is not the useless bezel that counts, it's the overàll performance and specs that matter.
I have to say I love the rotating bezel too! But I've just ordered one ! And I'd love one to have one with the bezel!
I started my journey with 5 pro
Yup, if you've had the rotating bezel it would be like removing the steering wheel in your car and swiping to turn... :(
It's Worth it
Great detailed review! Thank you!
By far the best review for this watch and i've been watching many the past few days. Subscribed!
Hi,
Is it a blood pressure option available in USA? Thanks
. Loving the some of the qualities that make this watch a gem .even with improved battery and built quality and materials..sad that it still comes with the same chip set and ram and storage from last years model. Thanks chigz. Awesome job as usual..😁😁😁👍👍👍
Appreciated thanks. 👍
Does US watch has ECG and BP? Do we need to purchase any subscription for any of the features or advance report?
Why does no one talk about or review the fall sensor & emergency call features?!
Bought this watch today
And honestly I'm totally hooked
Yes you and me both.
Watch 5 pro is lte or bluetooth version only?
Does this watch have NFC tag reading capabilities? Or is it only for Samsung pay?
Also Google pay
Live the in depth review. I've been sitting on the sideline of buying one. The face size is too big for my small wrist.
Yes it’s quite a big watch.
@@ChigzTech I wish they make watch sizes for women with small wrist. I think, It doesn't look feminine.
Fr the best review bro, i love your honesty ❤
Does Australia get the ECG and Blood Pressure ?
What a great informative review 👏 👍 👌 got mine today.
Also the back is it plastic?
My use case is playing offline RUclips music to bluetooth headphones while tracking an activity via GPS. It's asking a lot of the watch really. The CPU to decode the AAC file for the song, the data stream via bluetooth to the airPods and a data stream (or polling to be more exact) to satellites and processing that data for the activity, not to mention all the body sensor data it's processing in real time. Does the watch have the grunt to do that without music 'skipping' for example?
How does this fare with the Amazfit GTR 3 Pro
Very in depth review, thanks!
The GW5 pro is a more advanced smartwatch with lots more features. GTR 3 is basically a premium fitness tracker.
Does the GPS work without cellphone service?
the best review I watched for this galaxy watch 5 pro. thanks.
As for the watch face, would I be able to change it to a photo?
One of the best and most comprehensive reviews on the Galaxt 5 Pro I've seen out there! Thank you! great job!
For those of you watching this video in the US, the blood pressure monitor and the temperature sensor is not yet available (today's date is 8-20-22). It is manufactured into the watch it's just not made accessible.
Good to know the features are there, im planning on buying one in the states and bringing it home to Australia..
Not yet?
Can you change bands
hellow sir just want ask what is the app samsung galaxy 5 pro in smart phone thanks ..
Galaxy wearable app
Well done review. I should receive mine on Tuesday. I will see a big difference since I'm using a gear s3. I still see if I miss rotating Bessel . Question, Notifications from WhatsApp are good on the watch?
Yes, but does it have AOD seconds displayed?
I watched your review and have now purchased this watch as a result. Fantastic review, and it also got 10% off on a Black Friday deal
Dang im getting tye pro Wednesday its 399 at bestbuy 😁
Best RUclips review about the watch so far. Makes me feel a little better about pre-ordering it. Just a little. Lol
Have you done any more treadmill testing? the last samsung watch i had was a gear sport, and it was abysmal at accurately tracking my running distance on a treadmill. im hoping this is doing a bit better? i know you did a treadmill test in the video, im just curious if it is consistently showing accurate readings compared to the treadmill itself?
Can I have heart rate in the complication 2 space?
But what about the GPS while walking, running etc? I keep reading bad reviews all over the internet and seeing the discounts on the watches, that is putting me off.
For real world use I have found no issues with accuracy. It is nearly on par with Apple Watch.
@ChigzTech thanks for your feedback. I'm waiting to see the new Watch 6 coming out soon 👍🏻
Intro was insane🔥

I assume no ios support like the GW4?
Exactly, no iOS support.
Oh damn really? I really wanted to upgrade to this watch but I do have an apple phone. Might have to skip out then
@@ChigzTech im using the GW3 with the 13 pro but the watch is getting slow and battery drain.
Can we use for swimming?
What I understand.. It is .." When you are up-to-date, you are NOT late! And that my friend, THAT is GReAT!!
Will it show your speed if cycling?
Can you add more than 1 route to rhe watch?
Does it have a fall sensor like apple watch?
Nice review and video once again. Love the in depth and how you go through all the specs and more. 👍🏼💪🏼
Is this watch made out of Aluminium or Titanium the video says Aluminium at 5:33 ???
The pro is titanium and the normal 5 is aluminium
@@Mike.Tech. 👍
For the blood pressure do you need to buy a Samsung phone? Can we use another android phone?
BP and ECG requires a Samsung phone.
do you think i can get gps to last 15 hours on runiing?
All around great vid! I do not typically wear watches (I hate the feeling on my wrist), but I bought this after watching this, thank you
Great review, thank you for being so thorough. Very helpful
Have you reviewed the 2022 TAG connected smartwatch yet?
Amazing work.. I v just bought 5 Pro. It is amazing I love it. I have subscribed in your great channel
Nice review 👌🏽
I'm in the US & the GW5P had ECG on release but on both the FDA will not authorize Blood Pressure monitoring.
good to know
I might have missed it in your review.. is there still a 'rotary view' that can be accessed for apps by pressing the lower button??
I' ve alreadi bought it, I like it's nice more for you and everyone who will buy it. Janko from Slovenia.
Chigz review are extremely informative. Others are more commercial like. 💯💯💯💪💪💪🌟✨✨
This was epic.. PS. Do you have the LTE or BT version?
Mate what's the music you have on in the background?
It’s a track from RUclips music library called never surrender.
Nice presentation . Whats the difference btw the bluetooth and lte edition ????
I can only guess that BT you would need your phone in range to take calls etc as with the LTE it would be independent from your phone
Do we really need lte if connect via bt to phone?
No, you don't. Save yourself the extra line cost from your carrier if you carry your phone with you when you're out. Also, the LTE models have a staggered delay when it comes to new system updates compared to the BT models. I also hear they get pretty toasty from the LTE chip, and battery takes a hit as well.
Wonder if the spen would work with the screen
It does not.
Do you leave your watch display on?
No I don’t use the always on feature. It just drains battery.
does this watch have gallery as app?

Which one to pick between GW5 nd GW5 Pro...plz do suggest
I prefer the GW5, smaller and lighter for my wrist.
@Chigz Tech Reviews Thanks...same is the case here,GW5 Pro will be quite bulkier for my wrist btw how is the battery backup of GW5
It says on Amazon that it is compatible with I phone? Did Amazon describe incorrectly?
Yes, it is showing incorrectly. Watch 5 pro is incompatible with the ios
love my classic watch 4.. its the best still, the rotating bezel. it looks and feels like a regular watch...
Bezel don't do u no good when your always charging it
@@slaydao.g9650 i can usually get almost two days out of it. day and a half
@@slaydao.g9650 my watch 4 last a whole day with about 30% juice still left when I place it on the charger and I use my watch endlessly throughout the day, so...ion know what u doing...
Have order my first smartwatch looking forwards to using it
Nice, did you get the 5 Pro?
Yes
I just pre-ordered this with my new ultra 23. Upgrading from a galaxy active 2 and a note 10+ 5g hopefully I'll like the upgrades
14:42 IP68. Will it get wet inside after cc. 2 years, like many samsung watches? (e.g.Watch Active2) After the glue is released. Because too much watch price! Great, thorough show video. Thx Chigz!
I've had the GW4 Classic for over a year and it's still running strong. Plenty of water from hand washes, showers, and swims.
Thanks for the review. I have read other reviews as well and now I don't know if to cancel the watch 5 Pro that I pre ordered (not yet delivered) and buy watch 4 classic instead, all because of the rotating bezel and the watch 4 classic coming at a lower price. Please advise 🙏

awsome video
Amazing information. Thank you
Your welcome
Cab Verizon Message app be use with Galaxy 5 Watch Classic?
5 pro is connect xiaomi mobile ?
missing your old intro music PLEASE bring it back 🤜🏾🤛🏾💯
Just mixing it up, old music is still my fav too. Will bring it back in some vids.
Does this watch has internet access
Bro smashed it with this review. Literally exactly what I wanted to know. Appreciated 😅👍🏾
Have you tested the body temperature feature?
It doesn't exist. That sensor is only used to 'enhance' the readings from the other sensors, sleep in particular. If you have the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic, stay put. Extra battery life is good, but not worth the upgrade (since all other specs are identical, incl. chipset, RAM, and storage).
Got mine last week in the USA and still no BP or body temp, it does to the ECG though which is odd.
Thank you for the detailed review. Can you please compare with Garmin Venu 2 plus
Good review, I got my pro watch today. Amazing watch😎
Getting the watch 5 pro Wednesday 😁😁
Nice enjoy
CONECT WITH ECHO DOT ?
Earned a new sub. Phenomenal review.
Also, some people said that the Camera Controller is also Samsung-exclusive.
Good review in that you helped me decide whether or not to ditch my watch 3. Unless I break or lose my current watch, I'll wait another year to see what they come up with. Watch 5/5 Pro simply isn't worth it if you already have one of their older ones
Samsung UK will give you £100 quid off the watch 5 if you trade it in . Its on their site pre orders only .

I have the same watch 3 and I wont be changing its just not worth it
Yup, love the chrome bezel on my Galaxy watch 1 46mm, think ill stick with my O.G
Great preview
