Samsung Watch5:
The Galaxy Watch5 is equipped with Samsung’s unique BioActive Sensor that drives the next era of digital health monitoring. First introduced on the Galaxy Watch4 series, the BioActive Sensor uses a single unique chip that combines three powerful health sensors – Optical Heart Rate, Electrical Heart Signal and Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis – to deliver extensive readings that include heart rate, blood oxygen level, and even stress level[.
Galaxy Watch5 comes with 13% larger battery and provides eight hours of sleep tracking with just eight minutes of charging. This is 30% faster than Galaxy Watch4. An extra layer of durability protects the Galaxy Watch5. Users can now cue up their favourite songs on Spotify with just their voice using Google Assistant.
Coming soon you’ll be able to find your way using Google Maps from your wrist without a smartphone connection. Music and audio lovers will appreciate updates that include new apps like SoundCloud and Deezer. Additionally, One UI Watch4.5 offers a fuller typing experience, an easier way to make calls, and a host of new accessibility features that make the Galaxy Watch more intuitive.
It comes with all-new neutral color options that will turn heads, with the Large 44mm option available in Graphite, Sapphire, and Silver and the Small 40mm option available in Graphite, Pink Gold, and Silver which features a Bora Purple strap that pairs perfectly with the Galaxy Z Flip4.
Samsung Watch5 Pro:
Samsung says the Watch5 Pro is created for those that love being outdoors. From hiking to cycling and beyond, the Watch5 Pro is ready thanks to its premium materials. It features enhanced Sapphire Crystal that better resists any wear and tear and a durable titanium casing that protects the display with a protruded bezel design.

Samsung says it has the biggest battery on any Galaxy Watch. You can take advantage of GPX, that’s available for the first time on a Galaxy Watch. Head out on a hike and record and share it with fellow trail-lovers on the Samsung Health app with Route Workout. You can also download hiking and cycling routes as you practice for your next race or look to mix up your routine. As you hike or cycle, you will also be able to keep your eyes on the path and away from the map with intuitive Turn-by-turn directions. When you’re ready to head home, Galaxy Watch5 Pro will get you there easily with the Track back feature that takes you back the way you came.
It is available in Black Titanium and Gray Titanium, with a 45mm display.
