The Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro is a great choice for those who want a full-featured Android smartwatch with good battery life and some outdoor sports-friendly perks. It's quite bulky for an everyday smartwatch, though.

The $449.99 Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro is meant to be a rugged smartwatch for serious outdoor athletes. It’s big at 45mm, but it also delivers better battery than the regular Galaxy Watch 5 and turn-by-turn navigation.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro is meant for outdoor fitness enthusiasts who want more than your normal Samsung watch can provide. It delivers on this promise of a rugged, sporty device, although Garmin converts are unlikely to be swayed as it’s still a true smartwatch rather than a performance tool.

The Galaxy Watch 5 Pro is a durable smartwatch that can take on the great outdoors, with a 90% stronger display, long battery life and unique outdoor-focused features. However, it’s bulky, certain fitness features are locked to those with a Samsung phone and it’s much more expensive than the standard Watch 5, so be sure you’ll make the most of the additional features on offer.

El Galaxy Watch 5 Pro es un reloj inteligente duradero con el que salir a la calle, con una pantalla un 90 % más resistente, una batería de larga duración y funciones exclusivas para moverte y utilizarlo en exteriores.  Sin embargo, su tamaño es grande y tiene ciertas funciones de fitness bloqueadas para aquellos con un teléfono Samsung. Es mucho más caro que el Watch 5 estándar, así que asegúrate de sacar partido a las funciones adicionales que ofrece.

The Galaxy Watch 5 Pro is one of the best Wear OS wearables currently available and a decent competitor to the Apple Watch 7 for any Android phone user. For the money you get a rugged smartwatch with a splash of advanced health and fitness tracking services traditionally only seen on more premium devices like the Garmin Forerunner 955. This makes the Galaxy Watch 5 one of the best all-round wearables on the market.
