The Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 is the company’s second stab at a Wear OS 3 smartwatch. It’s a very iterative update with few major updates. It does make some strides in breaking down Samsung’s ecosystem, but battery improvements are disappointing.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 makes a couple of tweaks to the design of the Watch 4 to give better protection, while offering a bigger battery and a couple of new features. It delivers a comprehensive offering and remains one of the top choices of wearables for pairing with an Android phone.

Demure, stylish, and very smart – everything, from the Galaxy Watch 5’s third-party app support to its fitness features, impresses. The main drawback is the one-day battery life, so if you’re not okay with a nightly charge, look to the Pro – or a less smart alternative.

The Galaxy Watch 5 is a well-priced Android smartwatch option that works best with Samsung phones but loses blood pressure and ECG features on other Android phones. It’s a solid option but there’s little market competition, and the digital bezel and battery life disappoint.

The Galaxy Watch 5 is an incredible wearable when weighed up against its competitors. However, as a successor to the Galaxy Watch 4, it’s a huge letdown. The upgrades are few and far between, and there certainly isn’t enough on offer here to warrant trading in last year’s model. Nevertheless, if you have an old Wear OS 2 watch that you’re looking to replace, then you won’t find a better wearable for the Android crowd than the Galaxy Watch 5.

El Galaxy Watch 5 es un smartwatch Android a buen precio que funciona mejor con los teléfonos Samsung, pero que pierde las funciones de presión arterial y ECG en otros teléfonos Android.
Es una opción sólida pero hay poca competencia en el mercado, y el bisel digital y la duración de la batería decepcionan.

Samsung's new Galaxy Watch is an evolution of the previous model. Featuring much of the same fitness hardware, but incorporating a bigger screen, slimmer case and more powerful internals in a package that's still pretty affordable.
