Just got mine today as an upgrade from galaxy 3 . Not really missing the bezel as much as I thought the watch is super responsive. Seems to integrate a lot more with your phone (S22 ultra) than the three. Looking forward to doing a bit of hiking and checking the fitness tracking . Strap is as Chris said superb. One happy upgrader.
I have decided to get rid of my smart watch having had the Smart watch 4 6-7 months now. As a fitness tracker it is poor, GPS all over the place, heart rate monitor is poor. There is a problem with software if you do HIT style running, the GPS is always wrong, when compared with just walking or just running, this issue was on their Gear S3 so they ignored my observations. The watch 4 is charged twice per day! Yes twice per day when I drive to work and when I drive home, if I don't, it wont last the night. I am going on Holiday soon and I am taking a normal watch, because I don't want to spend all day in my room charging the damn thing. As a smart watch? I don't really see the pint of it. I am beginning to lose interest in Tech, you know what? it doesn't help you at all.
But that fat bezel and bended screen. And bigger battery gives only 24h more...same hardware as series 4...bah..and...Huawei isnt even a proper smartwatch...many functions missing like writing msges. Hence the battery life.
it cost esim cost $705.00 excluding 8% gst 40 mm without the samsung concerige cost SGD$171.00 for a year .. Way too expensive I rather wait for the price to go down because there small straps.
I really don't see how people get 3 days of battery life out of the watch. I've had mine for a week and I've even tried to turn off every function, but the max time I get is two days and 5 hours. Even with power saving on it only lasts 2 days and 17 hours. So either there's something wrong with my watch, or reviewers are just saying stuff without testing.
Did it get any better? Because I've had this watch for a week and I could get 3 days easily, but why push it, if you have opportunities to charge it why not..
Omg they still can't get it right I battery life!!!!They should look at the Chinese nearly all their smart watches 10≥14days. BTY I have 2 Huawei and Xaomia. And fully functional running on 4 GPS signals on each beautiful displays on both .. and for less money than them robbing Bastard's!!!!
The way you looked when you said you might just get 2 and a half days out of the battery is still 3x better than the watch 4 classics shitty half a day to a day battery life
I still have the original Samsung galaxy watch. I'm reluctant to upgrade till their wear os version can match the battery life of the Tizen watches I had some hope for this one...
Is there an option to enable LTE only when you get disconnected from the phone? (Can it be done automatically?). I have Gear S3 and I think about replacing it for 5 pro LTE.
I've had mine for jut over a week, can't sleep with it, and unlike you as a desk surfer, mine is already scratched and dinged. The standard straps are horrible as they don't breath and keep your sweat against your skin. Also the curved back causes a pressure point. Also this watch does not workbwell with any of the qi chargers that I've used thanks too this curved back. Can't wait for the next firmware update. My feed back is it is uncomfortable too wear if you have small wrists. I got mine for £280 direct from Samsung UK.
I have this watch, and I am on 50% after 4 and a half days. I am in Airplane mode, daily I switch back the BT once and off. Continuues pulse is on and steps and sleep. And thats it. So 8-9 days in a single charge.
Do you think it's worth getting a Galaxy Watch4 Classic over the Watch5? I like the rotating bezel and have found refurbished 46mm going for around $200. I primarily use it for notifications, reading and replying to messages , and the occasional Assistant question. As long as the battery holds out for 12ish hours I'll be happy.
Go for it. You'll save a bunch of money and still have a great watch. I have GW4C and I love it. The only thing I miss is a bigger size since mine is 42mm (it came free with the phone anyways) but the rest is just perfect. For me the rotating bezel is a win and nothing beats it. Battery life is also great. I sleep with it and do an early morning exercise (treadmill 3-5km, 3-5 weight and cable machines exercises and 20 minutes swimming), charge it for about an hour until I get ready for work (usually it gets full charge) and then go to work. Charge it again in the evening before I go to sleep and that's it. Never seen less than 30%. IMO GW5 don't have enough features worth upgrading (I think body temp only if you're into it). Again, rotating bezel is just so satisfying. Good luck
i have the watch 4 classic, disappointed with the watch 5 pro, not much has changed except the battery but i get a day and a half out of my gw4 classic... going to wait for the pixel watch and see what it brings. Also waiting on the Amazfit GTR4 that should be released in October as the GTR 3 pro is pretty great. ive a feeling samsung made a deal with google, to bring out a bad watch this year and for google to take over this year.... heres hoping. knowing google though they can disappoint in recent years with their phone releases, nothing they have brought out has been as exciting as their pixel 2 xl
I have to agree with you about Amazfit watches. They are great!!! I have 2 of them. The vibration motors in them are insanely great!!! I am a very heavy sleeper these watches can easily wake me up. Samsung, Tic watch, nah not happening!!! Battery life is awesome!!! My tic watch gets easy 3 days no problem and its the tic watch ultra 3...
Yet no one mentions you can't charge the watch on the promo gift duo charger. Just got mine yesterday, and Samsung confirmed this, and recommends using the luck charger instead. What's? What good is a promotion gift that doesn't work on the purchased?
@TwinTurbo Ray noun 1. a small timepiece worn typically on a strap on one's wrist. "my watch had stopped" Sounds like a watch, looks like a ⌚ must be a ⌚
Champion review. Mine's coming the morra so I'll give you some feedback of my own after a bit. I'm missing the bezel already, and can't keep my fingers off my phone as may last clicky happy times come to a close. P.S. The Lads will make the play-offs. Mebs.
Maybe it's just me, but why would you need your watch to last 3 or 4 days when your phone doesn't? I own the Pro myself, and I find that if I forgot to charge or something, that extra day and a half is worth it, and that's all I need. i don't see how the battery is a negative
Huawei doesn't offer NFC, LTE,or Wi-Fi conductivity so couldn't be really considered as smart watch. Google assistant is probably the best upgrade recently for Samsung because you can control all your smart things make phone calls etc. Battery life should really be compared with Apple Watch which has the same conductivity as Samsung watch.
my favorite part of this channel is that the reviews are always what i expect from big tech publications and bam always a guaranteed weeb wallpaper lmao
I bought this in the sale and it's crap! I prefer my £29.99 Honor Band 6 which uses the Huawei Health app giving far more precise information than Samsung Health. What a let down!!!
I received GW5P today, and I like it! I traded in my GW4 (44m) and believe it is a good upgrade due to the increased battery life. However, I will keep my GW4C (45m) when I want to dress up! Plus, the rotating bezel is a classic clean look. Lol, see what I did there😏
How you liking the watch 5 Pro? I really loved the GW4 Classic and am really partial to the rotating bezel. But if it gives 2-3 days more battery life I'd be willing to give it up for that.
Unfortunately Galaxy watches aren't accurate when it comes to sleep tracking and heart tracking, which is the whole point. It's too bad, I've been expecting it. I've been watching the The Quantified Scientist channel where he tests all kinds of smart watches and as usual, the iWatch is better with everything. I'm pro Android, don't like iPhones hence I'll wait till Samsung will come with a GOOD device.
unpopular opinion: tizen os is better than wear os. I use both a galaxy watch and a watch 4. the galaxy watch puts the watch for to shame in almost everything. functionality, design, efficiency, esthetic and this is just the OS. build, battery and design is also better. I am very disappointed. I love the look of watch 5 pro but I will bet, the galaxy watch beats in everything still. might not have oxygen, snoring and whatnot features but for all the features it has, it would be better. pls do a comparison. that's would be a good video
Love it so far, I've read some watch face downloads can reduce battery life, but, that's why I got the Pro, extra powerful battery. Thanks for your video.
Got my hands on it and its almost perfect except I still find the aesthetics make it look more like a cheap sports band than a classic watch which is frustrating considering the price vs Huawei GT and Xiaomi S1 watches. Plus the bottom button can't be reassigned to something other than going back through screens... annoying!
It's way too big, received it yesterday. I have a large watch collection with 44mm pilots and this just doesn't sit right on the wrist. Truly like a brick on your wrist. If you need a daily beater get a G-Shock.
I upgraded from the first generation galaxy watch, and it is so nice! The only gripe I have is that I can't use the watch speakers for apps like spotify, which is something I could do on the first Gen watch. Other than that though, such a massive upgrade! Great and in depth video!
Still getting to grips with my new GW5Pro, but the obvious disappointment is the loss of the bezel. I soooo miss that navigation tool, and unique selling point. In my view, aesthetically the bezel made the Samsung Classic ranges so distinguished. Ok, enough about what I miss. Generally the watch is very nice. However, I'm finding the gesturer response is slower than I experience with my GW3. So when I rotate my wrist to see the time, there's a noticeable delay. To make sure I wasn't imagining the difference, I did side by side comparisons and filmed it. There is a .01 difference. Not the end of the world, but not what I expect for a £460.00 piece of hardware. Especially when compared to a 4yr old watch. I assume Wear is to blame. I was going to send it back because in my view there just isn't enough of a step up from my Watch 3 to make this worth the cost and loss of the beloved bezel. That said, I need a new watch, so this will do for now.
Bro, a physical bezel is a weakness. It's just another failure point. These smartwatches are more durable and long-lasting without a rotating bezel. In daily use it really makes no difference. I'd rather not have something that water, sand, and dirt can get lodged into. Way happier with no bezel.
@@iannelli2448 I don't disagree that the more moving parts, the greater the failure points. I just like it!! I've had/have 3 or 4 versions of Samsung's watches, from the 1st iteration with the bezel to 5Pro. I guess I'm just a creature of Habit. That said, now that I've been using it for a month, I'm getting used to not having the bezel. I also have the 4 Classic, and transitioning back and forth I'm finding I don't use the bezel much on my 4 Classic. So I guess, "you can teach an old dog new tricks!". 'This is the way!'
@salawu This is the way! But I'm glad it's working out for you man. I keep seeing people praying for a rotating bezel on the GW6 and I'm like... why would you want to turn back the page on this technology? It'd be like reintroducing more physical buttons on phones, or even a physical keyboard on phones. I think we are all better off embracing the newfound durability and weatherproof-ness of these devices :)
Not sure about battery life.... Have mine and could barely get from 10pm monday 100% to 10pm tuesday 20% Before complete charge. I could maybe get the night for sleep track, but not the wednesday
I wish Samsung had stock with the Gear S3 design. These latest Galaxy watche designs IMO just look ugly compared to the recent Ones they's released in Time past.
I Still have a Watch 46mm from 2018 with Tizen and want to upgrade to the 5 pro. Is it a upgrade? Because i still have 5 data of more batter life now… and tizen is still fast,tracks sleep well etc
love the watch but does anyone else find the Spo2 sensor crap every morning i wake up my spo2 is always between 70 and 100 percent when i had apple watch never dropped below 96 percent during sleep, also i find the ecg hit and miss
I just received my 5 pro watch, to be honest, I don't like it at all and I regret buying it. It has been two hours now using it. I will give it some time and hopefully I would change my mind. However, the physical gear is a deal breaker but I don't know why I bought it anyway!
The thing about the arms, Chris your a Killa thanks for the humour as always but seriously thanks for spreading the joy, oh about the watch, it is impressive and you make it look even better but I maintain that smart watches are for only and I say it again only the "morally upright", never the less it is an impressive device.
Lol samsung already selling Galaxy watch eith wear OS now.Iam already more than happy eith original GW unbeatable battery life and i dnt fiddle with watches much.
Like your reviews but do you really need to say the full name of the device so many times? Do you get paid for every time you say it? Get's quite annoying. Just saying. Keep up the good work!
Need a new smart watch, I think given the price I'll probably pick up a galaxy watch 4 and mess with the settings to extend the battery life, I just can't justify the price Vs real world difference with last one
