Our take on the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Smartwatch

The Galaxy Watch 5 is Samsung's mainstream smartwatch, offered in 40mm and 44mm cases with Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and optional cellular. It runs Wear OS with Samsung's One UI Watch, tracks activity, sleep and calories, and adds GPS, water resistance and a body-composition sensor. It suits Android owners, especially Samsung phone users, who want health tracking and phone notifications without Apple's ecosystem. Against the Galaxy Watch 4 it is an incremental update: a slightly larger battery, tougher sapphire crystal and faster charging, but the same core sensors and design. Reviewers rate it highly overall, though many note the battery still needs near-daily charging and the health features are tied to Samsung phones.

  • Cellular models cost more and need a separate plan

Questions and answers

Is the Galaxy Watch 5 worth it over the Galaxy Watch 4?
Only if you want the bigger battery, sapphire glass and faster charging. The sensors and design are nearly the same, so Watch 4 owners have little reason to upgrade.
Does the Galaxy Watch 5 work with non-Samsung Android phones?
Yes, it pairs with most recent Android phones. ECG and body composition need a Samsung phone, and some features work best within Samsung's ecosystem.
How long does the battery last?
Most users get about a day to a day and a half per charge. The 44mm model lasts longer than the 40mm, and GPS workouts shorten it further.
Can I swim with it?
Yes. It is water resistant to 5 ATM and IP68, so it handles swimming and showers, though Samsung advises against high-pressure water and diving.
What is the difference between the 40mm and 44mm models?
The 44mm has a larger screen and battery, while the 40mm is lighter and suits smaller wrists. Both share the same features and sensors.
Does it have GPS and cellular?
GPS is standard on every model. Cellular is optional and needs a carrier plan, letting you take calls and stream music without your phone.
