40mm version a bit small for men Skin temperature sensor doesn do much at launch
Battery life doesn't come as advertised
Key features are limited to Samsung Galaxy phones
Essentially the same as the Galaxy Watch 4 with a new name

Abstract: Two new Samsung Galaxy Watches launched at the company's August Unpacked event. The Galaxy Watch 5 will replace last year's Galaxy Watch 4, and a new Watch 5 Pro model brings beefier battery life and a more premium titanium body. CNET Editor at Large Scot...
Abstract: Aside from the Apple Watch, not many smartwatches capture mainsteam interest like the Samsung Galaxy Watch. So when Samsung announced its latest model, the Galaxy Watch 5, I was eager to get my hands on it. Luckily, the stars aligned and the Galaxy Watch...

Abstract: The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 and Z Flip4 are here and while they may look similar to their predecessors, they bring a number of key updates.Last year was all about making the foldable an everyday smartphone and not a device you had to baby and protect. Sa...
Fast and slick, Comes with Sapphire glass, Water resistant, Quite a few health sensors including bioelectrical impedance
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
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, b...
Almost 2 days worth of battery life, Bright, large and easy to view screen (44mm model), Google Wear OS means it works with Google Assistant and Google apps, Sleek design, lightweight and comfortable to wear
New temperature sensor is nice to have but won't be available until later via a software update, No iPhone support, as opposed to older Samsung smartwatch models, It's really a watch for Samsung smartphone owners who will get the most out of the features
There's little to object to with Samsung's latest Watch5, as it offers an impressive combination of style, comfort, health tracking and Google app support...
Incremental upgrade compared to the previous model, Optimized for Samsung phones,
The Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 is an incremental upgrade if you already own the 4, but there's no denying it's the best Android smartwatch around right now. Stylish to look at with a vibrant display, it's packed with comprehensive fitness tools.Reasons to buy...

Good core smartwatch features, Comfortable to wear, Some good fitness tracking elements
Not hugely different from Watch 4, Battery life worse than Pro model, Still an average sports watch
The Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 remains a good vessel for the new Wear OS, but the changes between it and the Galaxy Watch 4 are so small that this isn't one to rush to upgrade to. If you're an Android phone owner looking for a smartwatch that actually behaves...
Abstract: If you've used a Galaxy Watch 4 in the past, operations on the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 will feel very familiar. Because of the similarities between the 4 and the 5, those upgrading from the Galaxy Watch 3 or older will enjoy the differences, with the 5 rea...
