Looking at the Galaxy Watch 5 and its predecessor side by side, it’s difficult to tell what’s different. Both smartwatches have the same chipset, nearly identical designs, similar health features, etc. Contents • • • • • • • • Show 3 more items But look a little closer, and you start to see what makes the Galaxy Watch 5 tick. It boasts a larger battery, faster charging, a more durable design, and improved accuracy for health tracking. None of these are groundbreaking upgrades, but they once again prove that Samsung is among the best in the business for Joe Maring/Digital Trends The iterative nature of the Galaxy Watch 5 is seen immediately in its design. The Galaxy Watch 5 comes in 40mm and 44mm sizes, with my review unit being the former. The only real physical difference with the Watch 5 is the 3-in-1 BioActive Sensor on the bottom, which is larger than before to get you more accurate health data. The Watch 5 is also slightly heavier, with the 40mm model weighing 28.7 grams compared to the 25.9 grams of heft for the 40mm Watch 4. Otherwise, the Galaxy Watch 5 is virtually identical to its predecessor. But that’s far from a bad thing in my book. The aluminum casing is sleek and minimalistic, just how I personally prefer my smartwatches to look. The two power buttons are wonderfully clicky, The 44mm Watch 5, and even larger Galaxy W...

Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 review

One gripe we have with the Watch 5 is the lack of data synchronization between Samsung's fitness features and Google Fit, despite plenty of overlap between the two services. It would've been nice if exercise records including step counts could be easily shared between the two. That said, once you decide on the tracking service you want to use, options are abundant, with the MapMyRun and Strava apps downloadable through the Google Play Store, in addition to other tools like MyFitnessPal and Lifesum.

If you can handle a daily charge and want a small, subtle digital timepiece with smart app support, the Galaxy Watch 5 could be for you. For anyone who wants all the Watch 5's features and superior battery life, though, the new Galaxy Watch 5 Pro is the option to go for. • Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 at Best Buy for $229.99 Samsung Galaxy Watch 5: price and availability • Available in two sizes – 40mm and 44mm • Starts at £269 / $279.99 / AU$499 • Also available with LTE (via eSIM) (Image credit: Basil Kronfli / TechRadar) Both the Watch 5 and Watch 5 Pro are available to buy right now, with retailers including most of your usual suspects and Samsung's online store.
