Samsung Galaxy Watch 5

 

Samsung is back with its second Wear OS 3-powered smartwatch in the Galaxy Watch 5 – but is there enough here to warrant an upgrade?

The best example of Wear OS 3 ; New and improved sleep tracking ; Solid battery life for a Wear OS device ; Accurate HRM results

Barely any different to the Galaxy Watch 4 ; Temperature sensor is an afterthought ; The workout selection needs improving

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...

Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 review: smart and powerful

 

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 looks excellent while being smart enough to monitor all you could need

Lightweight design ; Extensive fitness features ; Reasonable battery life

Incremental upgrade compared to the previous model ; Optimized for Samsung phones

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 is an incremental upgrade if you already own the 4, but there's no denying it's the best Android smartwatch around right now. Stylish to look at with a vibrant display, it's packed with comprehensive fitness tools.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 review: Marking time

 

Samsung has updated its Galaxy Watch, bringing more features and a longer battery life. But does it do enough to impress in this growing marketplace?

Great display ; Sapphire crystal protection ; Loads of functions ; Plenty of customisation options ; Decent battery

Design is a little safe ; Overshadowed by the Watch 5 Pro ; Doesn't work with iPhone

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...

Samsung Galaxy Watch5 and Watch5 Pro review

 

Samsung made a bold step last year by ditching its own Tizen OS for watches and moving over to Google's Wear OS with its own One UI skin on top. The bet...

Sapphire glass and good build quality, especially the titanium Pro model.

The non-Pro option comes with a subpar silicone band.

Still, if you've been holding off a smartwatch purchase due to the inadequate battery life, the Watch5 Pro may be what you've been waiting for. The 3-day battery life here is finally up to a level where charging no longer feels like a chore, and you...

Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 review: peak of Android smartwatches

 

In 2021, the Galaxy Watch 4 stood out as one of Wear OS's best smartwatches. In 2022, the Galaxy Watch 5 does the same thing.

Lightweight, comfortable design Robust health tracking AMOLED screen looks excellent Easy access to Google apps Very fast charging speeds

Skin temperature tracking not yet available Falls short of battery life claims

“The Galaxy Watch 5 is far from an exciting upgrade over the Watch 4. But if you're getting your first Wear OS smartwatch or upgrading from an older model, it's one of the best available in 2022.”

Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Review

 

Competitive price ; Sleek design ; Bright, durable display ; Good app selection ; Slight battery life improvement over previous generation ; Digital bezel for quick scrolling

Temperature data unavailable at launch ; Lacks outdoor-specific features of Pro model ; Questionable SpO2 measurements ; No heart rate variability or respiration data

Samsung's Galaxy Watch 5 improves on a winning formula with a more durable design and longer battery life than its predecessors, making it the best Android-compatible smartwatch on the market,

Galaxy Watch 5 review: Should you go Pro?

 

The Galaxy Watch 5 is here — the workhorse of Samsung's new wearable range.

Sleek, timeless design ; Comfortable to wear and sleep with ; Vivid and legible display ; Fast charging means less time away from your wrist ; Wear OS is a joy to use

Battery life is still just okay ; Incremental changes from the previous generation ; Ecosystem issues - some features are exclusive to Galaxy phones
