When you hear the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro, don’t think that it’s only for athletes and the like. It’s the rebirth of the Galaxy Watch 5. The Watch 5 comes in two variants – 40mm and 44mm. The Pro model also shares a lot of similarities with the 44mm variant.
Let’s start with the difference between the two models. The Watch 5 Pro has a 590 mAh battery. The Pro model has a larger body – 46 mm in dimension and 10.5 in thickness. Apart from this, the body of the Pro model is made of titanium. To be honest, it can be said that Pro is a slightly thicker model of Galaxy Watch 5.
Both the models have a 1.36-inch AMOLED display. However, the Pro model has the kind of design that will grab anyone’s attention. The Pro variant also has a slight difference in GPS functions. The Pro model has a few extra features that athletes might like, including build quality and durability. All these are expensive. Learn more about the Pro model and decide which one you prefer:
TheThe Watch 5 Pro model has a similar build to that of Garmin’s Apex 2 watch, a sports smartwatch. The price of this model of Garmin is 900 dollars. Samsung’s model costs only half of that price.
Throw in the 45mm case that comes with the Watch Pro and it may feel out of place for those with smaller wrists. The watch weighs 76 grams. This may seem overwhelming to many. Meanwhile, the AMOLED screen is excellent, and it goes without saying that Google’s Wear OS and Samsung’s One UI are the best we’ve ever seen on the Pro model.
The rotating bezel seen on Samsung watches is now replaced by a touch bezel. The Watch 5 Pro is easier to use than the Watch 5 due to its larger size. However, there are those who think that the previous rotatable bezel was better. Arguably, the earlier bezel could have been adjusted more precisely when used with sweaty, waxy fingers. But if that were included, the size would have increased again. Meanwhile, Garmin watch lovers won’t find the size of the Watch 5 Pro overwhelming.
∙ Performance
The new Watch 5 and 5 Pro models are powered by the same processor found in the Galaxy Watch 4 – the Exynos W920. While the new Watch may seem like it needs a new processor, reusing an old chip is one of Apple’s favorite smartwatches.
Although the processor is older, the responsiveness of the Watch 5 Pro is excellent. It can be said that the Watch 5 Pro is capable of doing what is asked of it. No problem is seen in using apps and making other settings. A QWERTY keyboard is included so you can type a message in case of need. It can be said that you can type with about 70 percent accuracy. The phone also has an LTE version so typing and calling can be done if that is used.
If you don’t like typing, Google Assistant and Samsung’s Bixby will convert it into letters. Samsung says it wants to add Google Maps to the watch soon. At some point that might come in handy. Customizable watch faces is a feature that many may like. The Galaxy Watch 5 Pro gets more customization than the Garmin Watch.
∙ Battery Life
A key answer to the question of why you should choose the Pro is battery life, since the Watch 5 can do everything you can do on the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro. Samsung says that the Watch 5 will get 40 hours of battery life, and the Pro model will get 80 hours. The Pro model may not have to charge again until the end of the day if it is fully charged in the morning. But if you’re constantly using heart rate, always-on-display, or Google Assistant is always in the background and GPS tracking is always on, you won’t get the three-day battery life that Samsung claims. Meanwhile, the battery will last for 80 hours if there is no heavy use.
The Galaxy Watch 5 series has been given a new 10w charging capability. Using this, the Watch 5 can be charged within an hour. However, it takes two hours to fully charge the Watch 5 Pro. But charging a bit is easy. 30 percent can be charged with 20 minutes of charging.
∙ Sleep Monitoring
After sevenAlso, get an invitation to practice good sleep. Try to practice restful sleep. However, the Watch 5 Pro model is not a great device for sleep tracking. For many people, weight and size may seem like an issue. The entry-level variant of the Watch 5 would be more appropriate for all of this. Samsung has included several types of exercise modes. Samsung will also get the same responses as the Apple Watch. However, better reports are available on Garmin
