Samsung Galaxy Watch5 and Galaxy Watch5 Pro: What You Need To Know

With the launch of its latest WearOS powered Galaxy Watch5 and Galaxy Watch5 Pro Samsung is planning on shaping our health and wellness habits. The Galaxy Watch5 offers enhanced features that consumers rely on every day, and with the Galaxy Watch5 Pro, Samsung offers its most versatile and durable watch yet.

Sensor Technology
The need to better understand and implement our own health goals has driven Samsung to provide users with in-depth monitoring and practical data that can help them achieve just that. Galaxy Watch5 is equipped with Samsung’s unique BioActive Sensor with digital health monitoring. When Samsung introduced the Galaxy Watch4 series, the BioActive Sensor used a single unique chip that combines two robust health sensors – Optical Heart Rate and Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis – to deliver extensive readings that include heart rate, blood oxygen level, and even stress level.

Galaxy Watch5 tracks health metrics more accurately than Galaxy Watch4 thanks to its increased surface area and direct contact with the wrist.

Holistic Journey
Unlike fitness trackers, Galaxy Watch5 provides a comprehensive experience from start to finish, including post-workout recovery, rest, and sleep. The Body Composition app provides a complete picture of a user’s health, allowing for a personalized approach to setting goals, guiding them through personalized workouts, and tracking their progress. And when it’s time to rest, the Galaxy Watch5 series also records recovery data, including post-cardio heart rate after an intense workout, and customized recommendations on water consumption based on sweat loss.

Battery Consumption
If you are concerned that your watch will run out of power or get damaged in rough terrain, the Galaxy Watch5 comes with 13% larger battery and provides eight hours of sleep tracking in just eight minutes, which is 30% faster than the Galaxy Watch4. The Galaxy Watch5 is the first display featuring a Sapphire Crystal glass, which offers a 60% harder outer layer, so the surface is more resistant to bumps and scrapes. Additionally, One UI Watch4.5 offers a fuller typing experience, an easier way to make calls, and a host of new accessibility features that make the Galaxy Watch more intuitive.

Galaxy Watch5 Pro
The Galaxy Watch5 Pro is the newest addition to the Galaxy Watch portfolio. Watch5 Pro is ready to take on any challenge thanks to its premium materials. Sapphire Crystal protects the display from any wear and tear, while a titanium casing protects the display with a protruding bezel.

Galaxy Watch5 Pro also comes with an all-new D-Buckle Sport Band that offers rugged durability with a sleek and clean fit. Galaxy Watch5 Pro has a larger battery which is 60% larger than Galaxy Watch4, which is key to keeping up with you while you conquer a new route.

Take advantage of GPX, that’s available for the first time on a Galaxy Watch. Head out on a hike and record and share it with fellow trail-lovers on the Samsung Health app with Route Workout. You can also download hiking and cycling routes as you practice for your next race or look to mix up your routine. As you hike or cycle, keep your eyes on the path and away from the map with intuitive Turn-by-turn directions. When you’re ready to head home, Galaxy Watch5 Pro will get you there easily with the trackback feature that takes you back the way you came.
