    Let me know your questions and I’ll do my best to answer here or in the full review coming soon!

      Hello Lexy👋🏾 we ladies are dying to know your opinion now that you had wrist-on experience with the galaxy 5 pro/ 5. Would you as a female with small to medium wrist size & style/ look wise purchase the pro over the 5? By the way, your 1st experience review was great and gave plenty of insight.

    • Lexy Savvides

      August 13, 2022 at 11:22 pm

      @Leandro Freitas as far as I am aware it is not

    • Prohesizer

      August 13, 2022 at 11:39 pm

      Can you let us know how the sensor accuracy compares to the previous iterations? Samsung has had notoriously poor sleep and fitness tracking. Hoping that improves with this iteration. Thanks!

      Will the LTE model have Bluetooth also in the watch on the watch 5 pro

    • Pazuzu

      August 14, 2022 at 11:10 pm

      The most important question for me is does it have the Health Dashboard+ face? That’s the only one I use in the 4 classic and this would be a deal breaker for me if it doesn’t have it.

    • Lexy Savvides

      August 14, 2022 at 11:17 pm

      @Pazuzu it does!

    • Pazuzu

      August 14, 2022 at 11:21 pm

      @Lexy Savvides Whoohooooo! Preordering tomorrow, thank you!

    • R Days

      August 14, 2022 at 11:44 pm

      Does it over heat? My Galaxy 4 overheats if i use for a phone call or powershare.

    • Pazuzu

      August 14, 2022 at 11:57 pm

      @R Days Not OP but powershare is an extremely ineficient tech that is in its infancy and it will always overheat. Can’t say anything about calls though.

    • Felix Lösch

      August 15, 2022 at 4:49 pm

      Can you please test whether the Watch 5 is still overheating during standalone LTE calls.

    • Felix Lösch

      August 15, 2022 at 4:51 pm

      @Daniel Frederick I would also be interested in an answer to that question.

    • newvillagefilms

      August 15, 2022 at 5:47 pm

      @Lexy Savvides “How it feels on your wrist?”… that sounds like a review. It may not be a full review but it is a review.

    • Rafael Manoukyan

      August 15, 2022 at 7:19 pm

      Dear Lexy, always on display is a must have function for me on smartwatches. Coould you please tell me/or test the battery life on w5 with AOD turned on. Thx in advance.

    • bennythejet 55

      August 16, 2022 at 12:03 am

      Late to the party, but can you confirm that notifications will only register if on the wearer’s wrist? Samsung has omitted a setting allowing push notifications even when off the wrist since the Watch 4 and I’d like to know if this is the same for the Watch 5 Pro. Thanks.

  2. Curt Ott

    August 13, 2022 at 10:37 pm

    How good is the LTE for phone calls on Galaxy Pro 5 compared to the top end Apple watch and how much does it drain the battery?
    Great evaluation video!

    All what I care about is battery. Because if its not improved I’ll skip this year. So please let us know more about it.

  5. Leon Rodriguez

    August 13, 2022 at 10:46 pm

    I haven’t changed watch since the original Galaxy Watch which it has 472mAh that’s the reason I haven’t switched but after they announced this Watch Pro with more battery, I’m really interested i just ordered mine, will be a nice change and a lot of new features since the old one.

  6. Karthikgns Kasi

    August 13, 2022 at 11:07 pm

    Was super fed up with Samsung’s customer care service, they promise something and changed it to something else. I still like the products though, cancelled the order and for now sticking to my flip3+watch 4 classic combo.

    No rotating bezel and minimal upgrades. Piece of JUNK

    Just hope the people that want the rotating bezel will hold off buying the 5 pro so maybe samsung with make a classic version. I need to stop watching these watch 5 pro videos because it just makes me sad they drop the bezel. And if anybody has the LTE version be careful if you have to send it into samsung for repair. Had to do that with mine and two weeks after I sent it in I got a notification late on a Saturday night it was connected to my phone. When I contacted samsung about why somebody was using my watch they claimed they had not received it even after I showed them tracking said they had. Then oddly enough they said they got it the next day and it was shipped back to me that same day.

    Hi great video a video I watched said the compass 🧭 is way out what is your view please and lastly does it come in LTE and Bluetooth when your not using LTE as I am a bicycle rider myself your views will be greatly appreciated also don’t want to take my phone on a long ride so this is the reason I want the Watch 5 pro LTE Bluetooth

  15. All Atsea

    August 13, 2022 at 11:36 pm

    I had the S3 and the watch 4 and will never get a samsung watch again. The watch 4 rarely showed the time when I raised my wrist, constantly lost connection to my Samsung phone and just made random noises every once in a while. 2 weeks ago my 12 month old Samsung phone died and I moved to Apple – the design of the Samsung is better but the Apple watch 7 beats it in every other area. Samsung tech is cheaply made. Buy cheap, buy twice.

    I’m a male with a medium sized wrist. How will the 40 mm variant do for me?

    • Caleb Brown

      August 13, 2022 at 11:39 pm

      I’m trying to decide which size to get.

  17. Cat Colwell

    August 13, 2022 at 11:42 pm

    I’m frustrated by the decision to only offer the pro in the large size – it seems the assumption is still pretty gender biased! As a woman with moderately small wrists, how would you feel about that size longterm? Does it get in the way/ caught or anything like that?

    • CherieBomba

      August 14, 2022 at 1:22 am

      It is gender biased! The rose pink one only comes in a smaller size. I’m a girl with big wrists so I can’t buy pink.

    In summary, if you have a watch 4, no good reason to upgrade 😂

  21. Day Dren

    August 14, 2022 at 12:29 am

    Can you set a picture as your watch face? As in a personal photo of a family member or pet for example, or do you have to use a pre installed one?

  22. illdaddyrod

    August 14, 2022 at 12:38 am

    Is it worth upgrading from the 4?

  23. melvin5818

    August 14, 2022 at 12:42 am

    Lets be honest the removal of the movable bezel is bad really really bad. Its not like people didn’t like it, a lot did. One of the biggest advantage it had was it also protected the edges of the screen so less likely the screen will crack.

  24. Paul Loren

    August 14, 2022 at 12:48 am

    Can you use the included charger (USB C) to charge a watch 4/classic faster ? Does it come with a wall plug? Or do I need to buy one? All my plugs only have USB A female to accept USB A cables

  25. F. Johnson

    August 14, 2022 at 1:24 am

    Not really a fan of the watches with the rotating bezel..I had the gear S2 classic and gear s3 frontier with rotating bezel and it was ok but not a deal beaker..but so far I had the gearS2 Classic gear S3 Frontier galaxy active 2, galaxy watch 3 and 4…now looking forward to the Pro 5

    Not interested of the temperature sensor, give back the rotating bezel.

    I never used the rotating bezel anyway

  32. Jroc2k Beats

    August 14, 2022 at 4:24 pm

    If they make a watch 5 pro with a rotating bezel, then I’ll buy it, other than that I’m keeping my watch 4 classic

  34. Arturo Rosario

    August 14, 2022 at 7:13 pm

    the rotating bezel was the difference in all watches and looks like a real watch no like a toy watch so for me is a bad idea
    ( I DON’T KNOW ¿IF IT GOING TO WORK WHIT YOUR WET HANDS INNTHE GYM OR IN THE POOL?🤔🤔 OTHER THING IS MORE BULKIER, IS COMFORTABLE SLEEP WHIT THE PRO 5 ALL NIGHT? 🤔🤔 FOR SOME CLOTHES OR STYLES OR SOME WORK OUTS HAVE SOMETHING SO BIG IS NOT COMFORTABLE ,🤔🙄
    I LIKE MY CLASSIC 4 BUT I ORDER THE PRO 5 BUT I HAVE MY DOUBTS…Samsung always do the same first the took away the infrared you can change the tv from your phone like a regular controller, listen regular radio stations /then took away the micro sd card and offers you a phone who can record in 8k but no have enough space🙄🤦🏾‍♂️ /and now took away the best feature have the watch the rotating bezel🙄Samsung why🤷🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️

    Is it compatible with iOS !??

  36. Jacob Aalborg

    August 14, 2022 at 7:51 pm

    As I learned from the watch 4, the sensors and apps tired to the sensors don’t matter if they aren’t accurate. I am doubtful there is any improvement so I’ll be looking for any competition that is accurate than the watch 5.

    So pretty much like the apple watch it’s designed for neurotic health freaks with health anxiety disorders. 😂

  41. Alan Cardenas

    August 14, 2022 at 8:50 pm

    I pre-ordered the 5 Pro. I just really like the look of the grey titanium. I personally don’t miss the rotating bezel. For some reason mine really seemed laggy and not smooth at all. I also got a 340.00 discount from 449.00 to 109.00 with bundle price eth the flip.

    Not the review I was looking for. I wanted to see how it works on tracking workouts and exercise activities. Sure don’t want to spend $500 and realize it can’t track fitness activities like my Garmin does. Ugh.

  44. Lav

    August 14, 2022 at 9:27 pm

    Mmm I’ve got a screen protector on my watch 4 Pro 44mm and honestly the ring around it is full of scratches from accidentally bumping it everywhere! But I really hate the battery on watch 4!2 days max even on power saving! I hope they’ve improved it!!

  45. XL

    August 14, 2022 at 10:25 pm

    So it it basically the Watch 4 with longer battery life. If you have the Watch 4 44mm why upgrade?

  46. June Anthony

    August 14, 2022 at 11:26 pm

    They should have added a rotating crown in replacement of the bezel

  47. Roy Travels

    August 15, 2022 at 12:17 am

    Pro should last a week. What if youre in the middle of forest and trap there and you need backtrack. 1 day is not enough.

    It looks junk without rotating bazel. It looks like any other toy watch or kids watch.

  51. Genilyn Chua

    How is the battery life? Thats my pain point for gw4

  52. kasb58

    August 15, 2022 at 12:38 pm

    I saw a watch 5 pro display model at Best Buy, it indicated a blood pressure monitoring feature, no reviews I have seen discuss that. Can you shed some light? Thank you.

  56. Darren Wolf

    August 15, 2022 at 2:48 pm

    Is it the same case as the 4? Would my protective case fit the 5?

  57. Driss

    August 15, 2022 at 3:11 pm

    I’ve tried rotating bezels before and it’s more of a fun gimmick but kind of unnecessary. You can just swipe onto the screen itself, I believe Samsung is realizing this and with fewer parts to replace it’s easier to service as well.

  58. XRP Music

    August 15, 2022 at 3:28 pm

    I don’t get what has improved since the galaxy watch 4 classic and no bezel. No need to upgrade

      The Pixel watch is way nicer lol

  61. Jay_LastNameHere

    August 15, 2022 at 4:28 pm

    I’ve never owned a Galaxy watch before but I really enjoyed the idea of a physical bezel. That’s kind of what attracted me to the GW4 Classic. However seeing this review just kind of makes me realize I wouldn’t really use it that much. I do think it’s sad they’re removing and I wish they offered it as an optional thing but maybe they’ll bring it back as an optional “accessory” for their next watch if people want it back. That being said the GW5’s raised lip seems like it’ll solve the problem.

  62. Felix Lösch

    August 15, 2022 at 4:48 pm

    Can you please test whether the annoying Overheat issue of the Watch 4 LTE ist still present in Galaxy Watch 5 when doing LTE calls or whether it is gone.

  63. Joseph Pepe

    August 15, 2022 at 5:06 pm

    Literally the ugliest watches I’ve ever seen, the Apple watch and Pixel watch are way better looking

  64. Joseph Pepe

    August 15, 2022 at 5:14 pm

    I’ll get the Pixel watch instead.

  65. Øystein

    No physical rotating crown is a big deal breaker..

    Boy these watches and this presenter are easy on the eyes…

  67. Jordan

    August 15, 2022 at 7:45 pm

    I bought the small version for my watch 3 but I think the apps and faces are more designed for the larger watches. some watch text gets really small. Plus the pro has a bigger battery finally. I bought my watch 3 over a year ago for $244 on sale and they will give me $190 trade in off the new watch. So $309 total cost. I dont think thats bad at all. Im tired of the short battery life on this one anyway so I think the upgrade will result in me using the watch more, since its not dead!

  68. Joel

    August 15, 2022 at 8:37 pm

    Excellent review. I’ll stick with my Garmin 😄

  69. No Prob 4 Rob

    August 15, 2022 at 8:42 pm

    Nice to hear an Australian accent for a review. I find the bezel on my first gen Galaxy watch protects the watch face and edge from scratches on the glass.

  70. Ahmed Al Kathiri

    August 15, 2022 at 9:02 pm

    Really need to know the battery life of the pro model for a normal usage.

    The OG Galaxy Watch 42mm was 3 days and the 46mm was 4 days. It amazes me we’re now considering over 1 day great 🙄.
