Samsung Galaxy Watch5 44mm 4G LTE Smart Watch, Silver (UK Version)

Product Information

With an always-on display, a tracked 70-minute workout with automated tracking of walking throughout the day, I was able to get through almost 30-hours of use before the watch dropped to 15% from a full charge. Disclaimer: Users should measure their blood pressure when at rest, as they would do with a traditional cuff, and refrain from measuring when they are working out, smoking, or drinking. Given that this test involved multiple tracked workouts, including one 30-minute walk with GPS enabled, that’s a seriously impressive result against the 18-hour battery life of the Apple Watch 7. Again, the bright display really helps to sell the visual style of these watch faces, and there’s plenty of customisation on offer for adding complications and even tweaking the colour of the dials. 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.

First, you need to download an altogether different app, Samsung Health, to take advantage of any of its health tools, and then you'll need the Watch 5 Plugin before you can really start using your wearable. This isn't surprising – different mechanisms for measuring bodyfat generally generate different results. Disclaimer: The rated capacity is 573 milliampere hours for Watch5 Pro, 398 milliampere hours for Galaxy Watch5 Large, and 276 milliampere hours for Galaxy Watch5 Small.

What this means, at the time of this review, is that the temperature sensor largely serves no purpose.

The Galaxy Watch 5 has a 15% bigger battery than the Galaxy Watch 4, promising up to 50 hours of battery life.One gripe that I do have – one that would be easy for Samsung to fix – is the type of workouts available to track.

You’ll need to arrange and pay for the courier, you should also make sure the product is insured with the courier and securely packaged for the journey. Express yourself and your individual style with the option to mix and match interactive watch faces with a range of colourful straps[3]. The Galaxy Watch 4 was that device, and being one of only a handful of watches that actually carries Wear OS 3 (even at the time of this review), it remains an excellent smartwatch that’s easy to recommend. The floor count may not reflect the actual number of floors climbed if there is a difference in height between floors.I actually got to 48% from dead in a timed 30 minutes, which should mean a complete charge in one hour.

Those who have used the Samsung Health app, or have had experience with their own Galaxy Watch, will know that Samsung takes more than a few cues from Apple in the fitness tracking department. We use industry standard testing to compare features properly and we use the watch as our main device over the review period.
