Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro Review | Stellar battery life?

Reviewing Samsung's Galaxy Watch 5 Pro, one of the best new premium smartwatches of 2022, with its massive battery and rugged design. I've been testing the Samsung Watch 5 Pro for almost a fortnight and here's my verdict on the everyday experience.

This 45mm model boasts several upgrades over the regular smartwatch although lacks the rotating bezel of the Watch 4 Classic. You've got a bigger cell for improved battery life (even if it's still lacking vs Huawei rivals). That titanium body and enhanced sapphire screen are also impressively tough, so the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro is one of the most durable offerings in 2022.

Google's Wear OS is again on board, but with those Samsung services such as Pay and Bixby instead. You also have dedicated fitness and exercise tracking tools which tie directly into Samsung Health. So the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro is certainly best suited to Sammy fans with a Galaxy smartphone, those Buds TWS, etc.

Check out my reviews of other fresh smartwatches and I'll be testing out the regular Watch 5 from today, stay tuned for the final verdict in a couple of weeks - including which is best!

Just got mine today as an upgrade from galaxy 3 . Not really missing the bezel as much as I thought the watch is super responsive. Seems to integrate a lot more with your phone (S22 ultra) than the three. Looking forward to doing a bit of hiking and checking the fitness tracking . Strap is as Chris said superb. One happy upgrader.

great review..I received mine 4 days ago direct from Samsung.. one QUESTION.. there is NO way to add a Custom ringtone like on my other Samsung Galaxy watches the original and the Watch 3... any thoughts on how to add a Custom Ringtone.. from the Wearable app on my Note 20 Ultra there is no + in the Ringtones section to add a custom Ringtone

Does the 5 pro have the same issue the watch 4 classic has..where it overheats/gets hot a lot and has to go into cooling down mode?

[kevincampos]

Another top class review absolutely love this channel you don't piss about you get straight into the details and you say it how it is no beating around the edge

[SirLucidThoughts]

Love it so far, I've read some watch face downloads can reduce battery life, but, that's why I got the Pro, extra powerful battery. Thanks for your video.

I never had a smart watch about to get. Is good with heart rate?.with real life numbers?. Do you change risbands?

[Matitzarichie]

Champion review. Mine's coming the morra so I'll give you some feedback of my own after a bit. I'm missing the bezel already, and can't keep my fingers off my phone as may last clicky happy times come to a close. P.S. The Lads will make the play-offs. Mebs.

[danielking]

I've seen these being sold as brand new never opened on market places, but they come without a strap or charger. Are there versions that are sold without strap and charger or are they falsely advertising? Thanks

[rahilahmed]

Hi bro I m not able to connect watch 5 pro with huwavi p30 pro plz help me.

[RevanRagnarok]

I've always had problems adding new watchfaces to my Galaxy Watch 4. It's either an app to add to your phone or it says not compatible with your watch.

[GuloGulo]
