Samsung has finally taken the wraps off the much-awaited latest Galaxy watch models. This time around the company not only launched the Galaxy Watch 5 but also unveiled the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro and the Watch 5 Golf Edition. The Galaxy Watch5 improves on features that customers use every day, while the Galaxy Watch5 Pro, the newest model in the Galaxy Watch family, is the company’s most robust and feature-rich timepiece to date.
Samsung Galaxy Watch5 – Specs & Features
The next generation of digital health monitoring is powered by Samsung’s own BioActive Sensor, which is a feature of the Galaxy Watch5. The BioActive Sensor, which debuted on the Galaxy Watch4 series, combines three potent health sensors into a single, special chip to provide comprehensive measurements that include heart rate, blood oxygen level, and even stress level. These readings come from the BioActive Sensor. Additionally, users can monitor their ECG from their wrist to gain a greater understanding of their heart health.
The Galaxy Watch5 tracks health parameters with even better accuracy than Galaxy Watch4 because of its larger surface area and closer contact with your wrist. Additionally, the Galaxy Watch5 series’ other sensors, like the recently added temperature sensor, work in conjunction with its potent 3-in-1 BioActive Sensor to give consumers a comprehensive awareness of their wellness. Even when the temperature of your surroundings varies, the temperature sensor uses infrared technology for more precise readings. This creates new opportunities for both users and developers to benefit from brand-new experiences related to health and wellness.
The Galaxy Watch5 provides a full end-to-end user experience that extends beyond fitness activities to include post-workout, rest, and recovery. The Body Composition measuring tool provides a comprehensive picture of the user’s overall health, allowing them to set objectives, guide them through specific workouts, and track progress. When it’s time to relax, the Galaxy Watch5 series provides users with recovery statistics, such as post-cardio heart rate after a hard workout and personalized water consumption recommendations based on sweat loss.
The models also have Sleep Scores, which track sleep stages as well as snore detection and blood oxygen levels. Improve your sleeping habits with sophisticated Sleep Coaching, which provides a month-long guided regimen.
Through SmartThings integration, the Galaxy Watch5 automatically adjusts connected lights, AC units, and TVs to specified sleep settings. Users can rest easy knowing that the improved fall detection will notify an emergency contact if you or a loved one stumbles at home or falls out of bed.
The Galaxy Watch5 has a 13% larger battery and can track eight hours of sleep in just eight minutes, which is 30% faster than the Galaxy Watch4. The Galaxy Watch5 is protected by an extra layer of toughness. Samsung is unveiling its first smartwatch display with a Sapphire Crystal display, which has a 60% tougher outer layer and will keep your watch trustworthy in everyday use.
The smartwatch features Google Assistant voice prompts and, in the near future, Google Maps, allowing users to navigate without a smartphone connection.
Furthermore, One UI Watch4.5 provides a more complete typing experience, a more convenient way to initiate calls, and a slew of new accessibility features that make the Galaxy Watch more intuitive.
Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro
The Galaxy Watch5 Pro is the most recent addition to the Galaxy Watch lineup. Because of its superior materials, the Watch5 Pro is up for any challenge, from hiking to cycling and beyond. It has an improved Sapphire Crystal that is more resistant to wear and tear, as well as a sturdy titanium housing with a protruded bezel design that protects the display. The Galaxy Watch5 Pro also includes a brand-new D-Buckle Sport Band that combines tough sturdiness with a sleek and clean design.
The Galaxy Watch5 Pro boasts the largest battery in a Galaxy Watch. It’s 60% larger than the Galaxy Watch4, which is important for keeping up with you when you tackle a new path. Take advantage of GPX, which is now available for the first time on a Galaxy Watch. Take a hike and record and share it with other trail-lovers on the Samsung Health app with Route Workout.
You can also download hiking and cycling itineraries to help you prepare for your next race or to change your routine. With intuitive Turn-by-turn guidance, you can focus your eyes on the path and not the map as you hike or cycle. When you’re ready to go, the Galaxy Watch5 Pro will alert you. When you’re ready to go home, the Track back features on the Galaxy Watch5 Pro will lead you back the way you came.
