SAMSUNG Galaxy Watch 5 Pro 45mm LTE Smartwatch w/ Body, Health, Fitness and Sleep Tracker, Improved Battery, Sapphire Crystal Glass, Titanium Frame, GPS Route Tracking, US Version, Gray

I have been eyeing this watch for a while and was researching between this and the new watch 6 model. I am a Samsung user (phone, tablet) for many years and wanted to get a watch that synced data to my phone seamlessly, which this does.I have mine set up to do continuous heart monitoring and can do the ekg as needed with a few taps. I haven't used the exercise monitoring yet, but it tracks steps easily.The battery lasts me about 4 days, it might last a little longer but i charge it when it gets below 15%.The watch itself is big and has weight to it, which i like but it takes some getting used to.Sleep tracking is great and you can see a lot of info in the app on your phone.I don't hate but also don't like the band it came with and ordered stretchy bands to use instead, which are much more comfortable and breathable and i adjusted them to get the right snug fit for the sensors to work well. The band it came with is actually really unique and does the job, but I'm not a fan of silicone bands as they cause my skin to sweat easily. Also, I'm wearing the watch on a wrist i broke decades ago and the silicone isn't flexible enough to allow the watch to sit comfortably where that bone didn't heal quite right and has a bump from it.I got a case and screen protector for this watch, like i do for all of my devices. I am clumsy and do not want to cause any damage to it.The connection to my phone for calls, reminders and messages works great, the phone calls are crystal clear, though the volume is not as high as my phone can go, but it doesn't really need to be for me. So that is not a complaint, just a heads up.Overall it is worth the price, research which one does the best job for what you need and choose based on that. This watch does everything i need it to do. I'm keeping an eye out for a model that does blood pressure and glucose, as I've seen that mentioned for future watches.

Great watch

Though I haven't really had this watch long enough to be giving too much of an review, I decided that I am still going to review it and edit as needed because I am already in love with this watch. First things first, for those that are having trouble downloading the Samsung health monitor app for this watch, just click on the Samsung health monitor app icon inside of the watch and then check your phone to follow up on the download from there. I am hearing a lot of people talking about the blood pressure sensor with this watch, so far I haven't found that yet as I am still going through the watch and getting to know it at the same time, if by chance I do find it and it doesn't work like I'm hearing it doesn't in the United States, I'm not going to worry too much because as long as the option is there, there's hope through updates, something you will need to do time you get this watch through the Galaxy Wearable app. I will still continue to use my Galaxy Watch 4 42mm for work, and being though this watch is bigger and more elegant, it's going to be the one that I wear on my off days to have something decent to wear when I go out to a nice place. I was having a extremely hard time getting this gem paired with my Galaxy S23 Ultra, but after awhile I noticed that this was due to fault of my own for not realizing at the time that I had to disable my ad blocker/VPN. After this was done everything went smooth from there, so do keep this in mind when setting up this watch. I am hearing other say that this watch will not work with other phone brands, people.... it's a Samsung watch, it was made and meant to be paired with Samsung products particularly Samsung Galaxy phones. This is only normal for anything, whereas you wouldn't pair this watch with a iPhone nor would you pair a Apple Watch with a Samsung Galaxy phone. They were meant to be matched up with their own brands. At last, at last..... a product that doesn't say "Made in China", this watch should last for years people. It has far more features than my Galaxy watch 4 with the rotating bezel which is cool to have but not all that, because it feels that one day, it's going to play out. With this gem, I don't have to worry about that because there is no rotating bezel. The only thing that I don't like so far is that Samsung replaced their own store with Play Store making it hard, if not impossible to get my purchased watch faces downloaded to this watch. "Update", after having this watch longer and getting to know it better I can say that this was a very good purchase made. It's so many things that Samsung has upgraded on this one. It has a much better GPS system in place that seems to work pretty much like the same system that's inside the Galaxy S23 Ultra, that "ultra wideband" feature. Even when I sleep in the watch, the battery lasts for days, also pretty much like the Galaxy S23 Ultra. The two combined couldn't be a better pair, both are very similar. This watch has seemed to have added some extra features in the Samsung health app. The sleep part of the watch is very accurate, far better than my first generation Galaxy watch. This thing is a must have. Getting just a bit personal, I do wish that Samsung had made this watch bigger, say.... 48mm. However, it still do what it do. This thing has even got Google Assistant. I will gladly recommend this watch to anyone in search of a awesome smartwatch with all the bells and whistles, not to mention the latest technology. Who said that you can't have your cake and eat it to.

I've used a couple other smart watches of lesser value and had issues with the functionality and navigation. I have been using this watch now for a month and I'm very happy with it. I'm not using the cellular activation only the Bluetooth. I pair it with my Samsung Galaxy s23 ultra. I don't like carrying my phone around with me when I'm doing my workout or fixing things around the house . This allows me to get all my notifications and incoming phone calls . It handles notifications from various apps perfectly, controls my Bluetooth speaker in the garage and monitors my health status without errors or issues. Navigating the watch screen is very intuitive. I love all the different watch face selections and customizations you can do. I've added a black cover and screen protector to my watch and they fit very well. The magnetic clasp is super convenient to pop the watch off and on when needed. So far I've been able to use it in my workouts and daily activities and it hasn't gotten damaged or fallen off. I sleep with the watch on so it can monitor my sleep and because it also has a do not disturb function that prevents the watch from lighting up at night if I move around. Cleaning it is fairly simple and the bands just pop right off with a little lever underneath the watch. I use the built in water tight function when I'm washing it. The battery life is pretty good. If I put it on battery saving mode I can run it for about 4 days between charges. If I turn off battery saving mode which basically just allows you to bring the watch up to eye level and it will turn on the sceen, it will run for about 2-3 days Very happy with this purchase and would recommend this watch.
