Samsung has kind of over delivered with the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro. It has a beautiful 1.4 inches Sapphire glass touchscreen which is very durable, and a lightweight titanium watch case.
The Watch 5 Pro may sound like a big watch but it’s not as chunky as popular Garmin and Coros wearables.
It has a boatload of sensors including a 3-in-1 Samsung BioActive Sensor (Optical Heart Rate, Electrical Heart, and Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis) for heart rate, irregular heartbeat (ECG), blood pressure, and blood oxygen levels readings as well as temperature, gyro, and light sensors.
The watch also monitors your stress level and offers breathing exercises if needed. It runs the Wear OS 3 platform co-developed by Samsung and Google and you don’t have to worry about missing out on popular Google apps.
It packs a 590mAh battery and easily lasts two days, which is impressive for a feature-rich smartwatch. It also offers outdoorsy features such as turn-by-turn hiking and cycling directions.
In short, if you need a rugged adventure-centric watch with long battery life, full suite of smartwatch features and optional cellular connectivity, the Watch 5 Pro is your best bet, especially if you have a Samsung phone.
The LTE model has been discounted by $70, and you can get it for $429.99 instead of $499.99.
That’s not all, as Samsung is also throwing in a free two tone sport band. Additionally, you can get up to $240 trade-in credit if you are willing to part with a used smartwatch, bringing the potential savings to as much as $310.
