Besides the Z Fold4 and Z Flip4, Samsung today also announced the Galaxy Watch5 and Galaxy Watch5 Pro. The Galaxy Watch5 enhances the features that consumers rely on every day, while the Galaxy Watch5 Pro is Samsung’s most durable and feature-packed watch yet.
In case you didn’t know, there are actually three models — the Galaxy Watch5 in 40mm and 44mm and a Galaxy Watch5 Pro in 45mm. For the first time, Samsung has used the Sapphire Crystal display for three models, which offers 60% more resistance against scratches. The watches are also certified for 5ATM water resistance (IP68 too) and MIL-STD-810H. All three models don’t come with a hardware rotating bezel, since there’s no Classic watch this time around.
Samsung Galaxy Watch5
The 40mm Galaxy Watch5 sports a 1.2-inch 396×396 Super AMOLED Full Color Always On Display, while the 44mm version has a 1.4-inch 450×450 Super AMOLED Full Color Always On Display. Powering the watch is the Exynos W920 processor with 1.5GB RAM and 16GB internal storage.
In terms of battery, the 40mm packs a 284mAh battery, while the 44mm has a 410mAh battery. It runs on One UI Watch 4.5, which comes with a variety of new watch faces.
For exercise and health tracking, the watch comes with a range of sensors — Samsung BioActive Sensor (Optical Heart Rate + Electrical Heart Signal + Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis), Temperature Sensor, Accelerometer, Barometer, Gyro Sensor, Geomagnetic Sensor, and Light Sensor.
The Body Composition measurement tool provides a complete snapshot of the user’s overall health, providing them with a tailored approach to set goals, guide them through personalized workouts, and track progress. And when it’s time to rest, the watch empowers users with recovery data, including post-cardio heart rate after an intense workout, and customized recommendations on water consumption based on sweat loss.
A good night’s rest is important in wellness, and that’s why we’re helping users have a better night’s sleep. Understand sleep patterns through Sleep Scores that monitor stages of sleep, along with snore detection and blood oxygen levels. Achieve improved sleep habits with advanced Sleep Coaching which gives a tailored month-long guided program. Through SmartThings integration, the Galaxy Watch5 automatically sets connected lights, AC units, and TVs to predetermined settings that make for an ideal sleep environment. Users can sleep safe and sound knowing that the enhanced fall detection ensures an emergency contact is notified if you or your loved one stumbles at home or falls out of bed.
Samsung Galaxy Watch5 Pro
The Galaxy Watch5 Pro is only available in the 45mm variant, which sports a 1.4-inch 450×450 Super AMOLED Full Color Always On Display. The watch is also powered by the Exynos W920 processor with 1.5GB RAM and 16GB internal storage. The Galaxy Watch5 Pro has the biggest battery of any Galaxy Watch at 590mAh.
Other features are actually quite similar to the vanilla Galaxy Watch5, but the Pro comes with even more features and greater durability for the outdoor enthusiast. It features an enhanced Sapphire Crystal that better resists any wear and tear and a durable titanium casing that protects the display with a protruded bezel design.
The Galaxy Watch5 Pro also comes with an all-new D-Buckle Sport Band that offers rugged durability with a sleek and clean fit. You can use it to record and share a predetermined route in the form of a GPX file to your friends 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.
