A particularly high-quality design meets a wide range of functions: that is the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro. The smartwatch is characterized by a case diameter of 45 millimeters. It is made of titanium, while its display is protected by sapphire glass. The smartwatch proves to be waterproof and is certified according to military standards. It offers its wearers added value in every situation in life.
It records workouts, navigates unfamiliar terrain on the wrist, and provides numerous health data. This includes blood pressure, blood oxygen content (SpO2), stress level and sleep quality. In addition, the smart watch creates an ECG on the wrist. Via a sensor, it detects the body composition of fat, muscle and water. The Wear OS operating system allows wearers to download additional apps.

The Galaxy Watch 5 Pro: Robust and up to any challenge
The case diameter of the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro is 45 millimeters. The smart watch is equipped with a 1.40-inch Super AMOLED display. It is capable of resolving with 450 x 450 pixels. An always-on mode ensures that the display remains permanently on, but works energy-efficiently.
The wearable is not only operated via the touchscreen, but also via the two buttons on the right edge and a digital bezel. This is to be understood as a touch-sensitive area that borders the screen.
The case of the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro is made of titanium. Sapphire glass is used to protect the display, while the straps are made of rubber. The smartwatch is certified according to military standards – that alone suggests its robust properties. It proves to be water-resistant up to 50 meters, as expected, so it can remain on the wrist even when swimming.
Interested parties can choose between the two color versions black and gray. They can also choose between models with LTE and Bluetooth. The existing wristbands can be replaced with others if desired. Samsung offers a variety of colors and materials for this.
Navigation, ECG, blood pressure, training partner, everyday helper – all in one watch
Samsung cooperates with Google and uses its Wear OS operating system for the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro. The advantage of the software is that users can download numerous apps from the Play Store that expand the smartwatch’s range of functions. They also have a choice in contactless payment: Samsung Pay and Google Pay are two services available. However, the smartwatch is only compatible with Android smartphones. Owners of iPhones are left out.
The Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro is offered in Bluetooth and LTE variants. The latter have an eSIM and can be used completely independently of the smartphone. These models can then also be used for making calls, sending and receiving messages, streaming music or downloading files.
The cell phone does not need to be within range for this. The Bluetooth versions, meanwhile, rely on pairing with the cell phone. If calls are received there, they can be accepted and made directly via the watch. A microphone and speaker are integrated in all versions.
The Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro has 16 gigabytes of memory. Of this, 7.5 gigabytes are free and can be used as desired. Among other things, there is room for map material. This turns the watch into a navigation system on the wrist. It helps its owners find their way around unfamiliar areas or find their way back to a starting point.
Athletes have the option of recording their outdoor routes. The Galaxy Watch 5 Pro records all kinds of workouts and gives individual advice. It also pays a lot of attention to health. Among other things, this means that it measures the pulse and the oxygen saturation in the blood (SpO2), analyzes stress or evaluates sleep.
Many will be familiar with a bio-impedance sensor, especially from scales. However, it is also found in Samsung’s smartwatch and helps determine the body’s composition of fat, muscle mass and water. The Galaxy Watch 5 Pro can also record an ECG on request, and it is one of the few wearables to measure blood pressure so far. Women can log their periods with the watch if required.
The battery life of the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro is up to 80 hours. Thanks to a fast charging mode, the smartwatch recharges for up to eight hours within eight minutes.
