Both are equipped with new features and upgrades to provide users with a better experience and health monitoring. In the following article, let's discover the 5 best features of the Galaxy Watch5 series.
Enhanced Health and Sleep Tracking Features
The Galaxy Watch5 series has improved Samsung Health with advanced sleep tracking features that can detect blood oxygen levels and snoring. Additionally, Sleep Coaching comes with daily tasks, sleep scores, and reports.
Both the standard Galaxy Watch5 and Watch5 Pro feature BioActive sensors capable of measuring heart rate, blood pressure, blood oxygen, and ECG. And of course, body composition tracking is also favored on these smartwatches.
Galaxy Watch5 Pro boasts exclusive Samsung Health features such as Workout Routes, Stage-by-Stage Navigation, and Replay Tracking. True to their names, these features focus on outdoor activities.
Temperature Sensor Compatible with Third-Party Apps
Galaxy Watch5 and Watch5 Pro feature a new temperature sensor that further expands the capabilities of the Samsung Health platform. The infrared-based temperature sensor can reliably operate in various conditions.
It's also compatible with third-party apps, so besides enhancing the Health platform, Samsung says the sensor can spark innovative ideas for app developers.
Outstanding Finish Quality with High Durability Materials
Instead of using conventional Gorilla Glass DX, Samsung's new Galaxy Watch5 series employs sapphire crystal protective glass for 1.2-inch and 1.4-inch round Super AMOLED displays. The new solution is said to be over 60% tougher than Gorilla Glass.
Both these smartwatches boast IP68 dust and water resistance ratings as well as military-grade durability meeting MIL-STD-810H standards. However, the Galaxy Watch5 Pro takes it a step further by encasing its components within a titanium shell.
More Customization Options Than Ever Before
The Galaxy Watch5 series is not only more durable than the Galaxy Watch4 but also offers high customization capabilities (in certain markets).
To start off, Samsung is releasing a Golf edition for the entire Galaxy Watch5 lineup, including the standard 40/44mm models and the Galaxy Watch5 Pro. It comes with wrist straps and new watch faces.
Even more impressive is the Galaxy Watch5 Bespoke Edition, available in select markets at Samsung's online Bespoke Studio. This smartwatch currently offers enough color and strap design combinations to include 1,032 unique setups!
Impressive Battery Life
Samsung has upgraded the battery inside its latest smartwatches. They now feature larger capacities and can recharge twice as fast as the previous generation.
Galaxy Watch5 40/44mm comes with a 284mAh/410mAh battery, while Galaxy Watch5 Pro is equipped with a 590mAh cell. They support fast wireless charging at 10W, up from 5W on Watch4 series.
Standard Galaxy Watch5 will offer approximately 50 hours of battery life per full charge, while Galaxy Watch5 Pro will extend up to 80 hours. These are Samsung's smartwatches with the best battery life currently available.
Wear OS 3.5 and One UI Watch 4.5
The collaborative relationship between Samsung and Google has led to the development of Wear OS 3, allowing the Korean tech giant nearly a full year of exclusivity with the new operating system.
Now, continuing their collaboration, Samsung and Google are providing One UI Watch 4.5 and Wear OS 3.5. Galaxy Watch5 series is better integrated with Google Assistant, Google Maps, and third-party apps like SoundCloud and Deezer.
