Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 reviewed: minor updates and durability
A relatively fast and slick device, the Watch 5 is a good looking piece of hardware that makes use of the foundation Samsung has built before, even if it feels it hasn’t gone anywhere, new or otherwise. This is mostly about minor updates and durability, because that’s what the Watch 5 brings.
Pros:
- Fast and slick, Comes with Sapphire glass, Water resistant, Quite a few health sensors including bioelectrical impedance
Cons:
- Battery life could be better, Still not standard Qi charging, The handy point of difference -- the rotating ring -- is gone, There's not a lot to separate it from other wearables, Android only, Seems to need Samsung devices for some features

The best Samsung phones in 2023: our 8 favorite Galaxy phones
So far, 2022 has been a year of iterative updates for much of Samsung’s portfolio, and the Galaxy Watch 5 is perhaps the best example of that. Looking at the Galaxy Watch 5 and its predecessor side by side, it’s difficult to tell what’s different. Both smartwatches have the same chipset, nearly identical designs, similar health features, etc. But look a little closer, and you start to see what makes the Galaxy Watch 5 tick. It boasts a larger battery, faster charging, a more durable design, and improved accuracy for health tracking. None of these are groundbreaking upgrades, but they once again prove that Samsung is among the best in the business for Wear OS watches. The iterative nature of the Galaxy Watch 5 is seen immediately in its design. The Galaxy Watch 5 comes in 40mm and 44mm sizes, with my review unit being the former. The only real physical difference with the Watch 5 is the 3-in-1 BioActive Sensor on the bottom, which is larger than before to get you more accurate health da...
Pros:
- Lightweight, comfortable design
- Robust health tracking
- AMOLED screen looks excellent
- Easy access to Google apps
- Very fast charging speeds
Cons:
- Skin temperature tracking not yet available
- Falls short of battery life claims
