You're just too cheap to buy the pro version...it costs me 430 Euro minus 150 Cashback so it was around 280 with the band. Bigger storage, more energy, track back function in the 5pro and ability to download maps and roads, also the embedded display protects it from breaking.
I can't believe they removed the rotating bezel. Pretty much the only reason I was a loyal Galaxy Watch user in the first place, as you can still use it in wet situations that would make it impossible to use the touchscreen.
@@lewismackay9533 Turning on water lock for the Watch 4 completely disables the touchscreen, and according to the manual you should "be sure" to turn water lock on when using the watch in water.
Not just that, but rotating bezel was literally the only thing that justified the round shape. Without rotating bezel, a round watch is totally inferior to a square-one.
Tbh there's only so many times you can innovate what a watch looks like. Though as a Galaxy Watch 4 user, the rotating bezel is both a useful feature and adds to the look of the watch, shame they got rid of that
Honestly. I might've even considered upgrading to the newer model if it had that. The sapphire glass and titanium case alone are a really nice add--though I'd probably use the default black band the Watch4 Classic came with.
I wonder if anyone would have considered a mundane change in shape of a watch an "innovation" of any kind, before they started considering them gadgets 😂
The lack of rotating bezel was a big dealbreaker for me. Probably one of the best features on the Watch4 Classic. If anything, now that it's being discounted that might be the model to get for someone who doesn't have either. They do share the same processor.
You're right. And as Samsung own the patent to a rotating bezel, they are at this point patent squatting. I won't buy a cheap looking round apple watch clone. I want to be able to control my volume and device when running with the bezel, not literally having to stop running and play swipe games.

@bzake I'd love to hear how their health is far more "detailed". Enjoy ur 1 day battery I'll keep enjoying my 4 days Samsung watch 5p. 1:1 to my medical blood ox, heart rate, ecg, ect. Apple makes great watches. People need to get their brown nosing of apple a break. Samsung is great also. It's unfortunate that both are locked in their own eco systems now. Those of us that have both and have the ability to experience both side by side can clearly see the bias it's beyond stupid. But no doubt if they weren't, locked more people would see how stupid this whole thing is. Apple and Samsung are on par with amazing technology on both. Unfortunately - Apple has the brand name tax attached and people have the need to feel superior cause unfortunately Apple likes to milk their customers extra hard.
@Bzake Sure, I think having safety features like car crash detection is good, but I wouldn't call them perfect. Battery life, and I would rather have better sleep tracking over car crash detection. It's cool that Apple Watches finally get sleep tracking though :)
I upgraded from the galaxy watch 1 42mm to the 5 pro and I honestly don't miss the rotating bezel as it always got gunked up with dirt and pulling off the bezel to clean wasn't too bad but it's hard to keep track of all the little balls.
Just like any other tech product, never upgrade unless something broke on your previous device. The real smart move is to keep things going - repair them, service them. Marketing will always try to sway you to spend money unnecessarily.
Or unless it no longer suits your needs, like old GPUs and CPUs slowly being less and less competitive. Doesn't mean you should upgrade every generation or anything like that, just that it's not wrong to upgrade if you're not getting the kind of performance you want out of games.
I just replaced my Gear S3 Frontier watch after 4 years because it is just outdated and scuffed up pretty good but it still works fine. Even the battery still keeps the watch running for up to 3 days.
Samsung just bricked my GW4Classic with a software update.....now it doenst charge, doesnt turn on, nothing....reached out to support they offered to fix mine for free (or give me a new (same model) device if needed. Also offered a discounted 5 Pro Golf (which I ended up getting) for a measly $317....... Considering they were the ones that broke my previous device, I wish I had a bigger discount.....
Still think that my galaxy watch 4 classic is way better than any of these for one simple reason: the rotating bezel is mechanical, and not just software and vibrations.
In my experience with the Watch 5 Pro I'm getting 4+ days on a single charge (or 96+ hours). Also there is a new sensor (a temperature sensor) that's supposed to help with sleep tracking that isn't functional yet (whenever the government agencies approve it). And while I do miss the rotating bezel of my GW4 Classic, I've actually gotten used to not having one anymore. And yeah, I didn't even fuss about with the band the GW5 Pro came with, I immediately uninstalled it and put on my Velcro strap that I used on my old watch. I have also noticed that due to the slightly different design of how the sensor sits on the wrist, it's actually more accurate and consistent when using the heart rate measuring continuously. And in my experience the watch actually charges pretty fast despite it having a massive battery. It's so much cheaper than Apples Ultra expensive model they just released.
I would rather have the watch 4 with a rotating bezel that allows me to actually interact with the device when running, and not at all interested in a temperature sensor, or a thicc watch as I charge all of my devices daily on the way to work.
But it can't save your life in an emergency if the batteri is dead! Can't believe that Shortcircuit covers these watches instead of the Iridium 9555 Satellite Phone with solar charging. SMH my head!!1!
@@Lu-db1uf It's a joke about Apple's fall event which had an introductory video that focused on the apple watch and iphone saving peoples lives and messages to Tim Cook about Apple saving their lives. LTT and many others have made fun of it for how goofy it is.
that's the type of clasp that's used on luxury watches like Omega. not sure if it would be the same quality but I'm impressed by the design of the band
That uniloop band stretches out to a point that it becomes too loose.. It has an expiry date, almost like planned obsolescence, Apple wants you to like it so that you can buy more of these every few months (or days) based on your usage.
Pretty accurate. Loved the braided solo loop it was fantastic. I even bought a size smaller than recommended and it still ended up stretching to the point of being unwearable. Recently got the Nike Sport loop and so far it’s been pretty great
In the A/V industry, where I work, most real "pro" equipment just has a descriptive letter and number combination. Most of the equipment which is actually labelled with "pro" in the name, is usually consumer stuff.
guys, I honestly never saw someone having so much trouble with a deployant watch. like seriously, I used those since I was 14 and never struggled once, and nobody I know ever did, so that's either the worst deployant ever, or I don't know man...
I have used the pro for about a month and a half. I haven't been bothered by the physical bezel being removed so far I have never had a case for using it. Even if swimming I just put on water mode. The side button controls stop pause and finish so its not really an issue. The sensors are great, it is very accurate and knows when I have just been sitting, or if I am active it starts tracking my exercise for me. I have been using it heavily as I normally workout for about 2 to 3 hours a day and a charge normally last 2 with a good 15% left over. I have just switched to charging it while I take my showers though and now do not have to worry about it dying. For the band I have the magnetic one. When adjusted I often forget about it being on my wrist. I love how easy it makes taking it on and off though so I have stuck with it. My labtop does have a metal surface though and I have noticed the metal on metal is very unsettling. So I just move the watch a bit further up my wrist while I am using it to not make contact. Have not used the hiking map feature but when I looked at how to do it. You have to upload a trail file from your phone for each different trail head you might go on.
Idk if this has been said before, but for that 799$ price, doesn’t Apple Watch ultra have titanium too? Samsung definitely undercuts it but I am not so sure about the watch 5 pro tbvh, is from a Samsung user.
I absolutely love my Galaxy Watch 5 Pro. It's by far the best watch I've ever used. Also, that band is the most convenient band there is really. It's not as much of a problem as you're trying to make it out to be.
I like how the s Galaxy watch 5 doesn't have a design change and reviewers go mad but apple has the same design since the first watch and everyone is ok with it.
These reviews have gotten pretty bad. They are basically full of mistakes that normal tech reviewers would find out during the review, instead we have several pieces of misinformation or small complaints that don't mean anything. I understand this is supposed to be a humorous unboxing channel, but it's often full of misinformation
Who sleeps with their watch? I do. Sleep monitoring is half of the usage for me. My watch lasts about a week on a charge, with all-time heart monitor and sleep, and a bit of gps tracking.
No issues with the Pro name here. You have a regular one and one with added features. It was classic before, didn't make much sense. Now it's in line with the naming of other products like phones and tablets.
That´s why I just upgraded from my Watch 44mm BT to a Watch 4 46mm BT. The Watch 4 Classic was a snatch at 189 € at the last Prime Day sale compared to the upcoming Watch 5 .
When you have adjusted the band, you need to put the mini clasp down to lock the position on the band and then it doesnt hurt your arm when you put it down and after that it opens and closes very fast with the magnet.
as for selling your watch 4 for a 5 I traded my watch 4 into samsung for £100 off a watch 5 pro, that's probably the best way to go. The watch 5 pro also has a skin temp sensor on it but it's not used yet.
@@CRneu well compare to apple, 3-4 days is great. Compare to my old Huawei gt watch that lasts a week but can't connect to anything and tells me it is 3 am when it is noon, it isn't great
Ive always wondered if the ecg in watches are any good and going by that readout I dont think so. The way you're supposed to complete the circuit makes it very difficult to not tense any muscles in your arms, which results in a LOT of interference. You can pretty much just see the RR interval here, whereas with a thumb ecg you can get a graph you can actually show a doctor.
it actually is good. There's a ton of posts on r/galaxywatch of people showing the watch ecg next to a real ecg monitor and it's always either right on or off my 1 or 2 points. So it's actually really accurate.
I really like my new Watch5 Pro. Bought with EPP without band, as the stock one felt bad. Also, in the UK Samsung accepts any smartwatch for trade-in for a 100 pounds discount. Even a cheap Chinese tracker with watch display. Ended up having one for a bargain price.
@@cooluser23 Nonsense. In reality it's about 2/3s of a single day. The GW4 classic has 360mAh and lasts 24 hours with every feature and sensor turned on. In order to extend that to 2 full days days the battery would need to be doubled to 720mAh. The GW5 pro actually only has 590mAh, so that leaves you short of two days. What is the point in an extra half a day? You're still going to need to charge it daily unless you want to run out of power half way through the 2nd day.
@@NeonVisual Actually it is about 2 more days.... 4 days (actually almost 5) in total for battery life. You're taking into account only the battery life, the processor upgrades and others also contribute to the better battery... I switched from a GW4 to a GW5 pro and I'm getting 4 1/2 days of battery under full use... calling, texting, all health features turned on and so on.... my biggest conundrum with smart watches is battery life and I have to say I am thoroughly impressed with the changes brought to the GW5 pro
@@rumplestiltskin3441 Processor isn't the main cause of battery drain thanks to the co-processor. The primary batter drain is the display. If you work out every day for an hour and making full use the data, you're not going to get 2 days out of it.
As owner of 4 and now 5... WHY would you want it to look different? It looked great already, I just wanted upgraded internals. And it's NOT really the same, the back is quite different (sensor array) and so is the band. If you want a different look, change the watch face or band. I have several different bands I change depending on season and feel. There's no need to change the watch shape and design itself, certainly not after just a year or even two.
@@Thedippestofshits I mostly bought 5 because of hope that the new sensor array layout would make it track heartbeat and exercise better, plus the battery increase and sapphire glass. But I agree that I could have stuck with 4 (active 2?) and just waited another year.
I pre-ordered the GW5 because I got a great deal through a discount program I get through work, plus I traded in my original GW active. I like the 5 a lot, but it's funny that all of the accessories for the 5 we're made for the GW4. Edit because I see others mentioning it: I got the active because I have small wrists and I work in a data center environment where I'm constantly reaching into small spaces. A larger watch wasn't feasible for me so I was never a fan of the rotating bezel because of this. Having said that, it would be nice if the larger version had the rotating bezel for those that want it, it's been a staple of the GW family so idk why they would get rid of it.
I know people miss the bezel, but the bezel made the Watch overall bigger and thicker without adding any battery life OR screen size. The current watches are smaller with a larger battery. So in turn, it is more wearable for a larger audience. although i completely understand missing the utility of a physical bezel.
@OrderFlowArchives it's one of those things where which one you would rather have. A 42 mm watch with a smallish battery and screen. Or a 40mm with a bigger battery and similar screen. Most people complain wearables have shit battery life so Samsung chose the bigger battery option
I Had a watch4 and now the 5 pro. The battery Life is Just so good and Something i needed with my 4. Now with trade in and preorder, i paid 130 Euros. Cant complain
Samsung has a trade-in program. I traded my 3 Titanium (which had a metal clasp) for a discount on a 5 pro and enjoying the new features and the updated OS. I did not have the same issues with the clasp. I'm guessing these guys have never had a traditional clasp watch before? Unlike a traditional clasp it's nice that it's adjustable to your wrist and you just pull to separate. The lip definitely helps if you knocking your wrist around things, so it's a good deterrent against damage to the screen.
what I don't like about these short circuit and linus tech tips channels are that they basically do only unboxing and first impressions, read the specs and conclude the video. they dont use it daily enough to review how good or bad the product is because you will only know how good or bad the product and their features are working only after daily driving them for like few days or weeks. they just conclude their thoughts based upon few minutes or hours spent with the products and trying some features either its a watch, earbuds, tv, laptops or phones
I don't really have a lot of excitement for smart watches. The only reason I wanted one in the first place was after learning that Fitbits use web technologies like XML and CSS for their displays, so I made a custom display for myself and have never upgraded past my Versa 2.
Thanks for sharing and adding literally nothing to the conversation. I absolutely cannot stand folks like you who have an unnatural need to say "i don't like that" about videos where you probably shouldn't have even bothered clicking in the first place.

@@nohero178 settle down Karen. Saying you don’t like something is no more valid or invalid than likening something. You Linus simps get so touchy about criticism
You can't figure out a regular clasp band? And what's there to dislike about it? I have GW5 pro and I find this band to be the best and most comfortable compared to other bands, you adjust one size according to your wrist and then it's just the matter of opening or closing the clasp, it's quick and easy to put on and never feels too tight. The thickness of the clasp/magnet might be an issue to some but it didn't bothered me even when typing on a keyboard, I do miss the rotating bazel but it's still a great watch.
Just like someone said it before, the rotating bezel was something i thought was really cool on these watches. Although i cannot wear any watch, to me it feels really bad to wear them, over time i feel my wrists start to hurt (tried multiple brands). The funny thing is the price, in my country it costs around 520 USD... I could buy a mid range phone, or an airpods max for that price. Even a series 7 Apple watch cost only 400USD. I would not buy this watch, the band looks awful as well. I have Samsung fit 2? But the way you have to lock it on your wrist it just sucks. Why using such a stupid locking mechanism? Was the normal way not good enough?
Might be due to friction, which can become an issue either when the band is too tight or too lose. Also, you should wash your watch daily. And it could also be sensitive skin or allergy.
I mean I definitely like the titanium and sapphire glass for the decent price. For me the apple watch would be close to perfect if it had slightly more battery life. Having to charge twice a day if you want to do sleep tracking just outright sucks. I refuse to use a fitbit with how they are now locking features behind a premium subscription. I almost considered the apple watch ultra because I am pretty hard on watches but ugg I hate paying for LTE when I am not going to use it. I really wish there would have been a version that was 100 cheaper with no LTE.
I currently own a Watch 4 Classic and I really wanted the Apple Watch Ultra, but it turns out it's not compatible with android devices and I have a S22U, that sucks but I guess it's to be expected from an Apple product. And there is no way in hell I'm switching to an iPhone just to have an Apple watch.
The amount of times he says it's the same as last time physically hurts because even apple does it to their watches (excluding the new pro one) So it's not bad that it's the same lmao
It kinda pisses me off whenever tech UA-camrs complain about a product seeming similar to the previous year's. People don't replace their tech every 3 months whenever the next company releases a new flagship lineup of products. In the case of the GW5 it gives consumers the chance to buy a more refined version of the highly-appraised 4 with updated specs, support, warranties, etc. And, if you want to save money, you can always go for last year's model. I'm still using the OG Galaxy Watch (basically just to give me the time and ballpark-track my workouts as it's far too antiquated for anything else) so the 5 is an attractive option for me, especially with a nice deal come November.
Proper typing technique is that your wrists are supposed to be in the air (prevents carpal tunnel), not touching a wrist rest. So your watch band should never be hitting your laptop or desk. What's with all these technology people not knowing how things are supposed to work?
I have waited for announcement of these 5th generation of watches so I could upgrade my Gear S3 Frontier but after figuring out that it doesnt have rotating bezel and its basically internaly Watch 4 with bigger battery I went for Watch 4 Classic LTE and still safe almost 200€.
My parents watches have the same mechanism to close the band. Without magnets though and integrated so it’s just as big as the rest of the band. Not that easy to adjust though.
The fact that they genuinely underestimated how much ppl wanted the bezel is probably the dumbest thing I have seen Samsung do since I have been a supporter
Actual facts. I was like "maybe there's a different model coming out later" kinda like how the Note series of phones worked. But nope, Samsung is just brain dead this time around.
@@cooluser23 I don't need a smart watch at all that's not the point it's the usefulness and separation. I we were talking about what we NEED smart watches aren't even in the conversation
@@cooluser23 I really do need the bezel. It's useful on both Tizen and WearOS. It's actually why I went for the Watch4 Classic over the Watch4. YOU might like a rotating crown, but I don't. We shall see, however. If this watch doesn't sell well I imagine it'll (hopefully) reappear on the Watch6 Pro.
I actually would like to hear about the privacy of these devices, both in various emissions (does it beacon constantly and make you easier to follow in stores and such?) and also the privacy policy and data transmission (What is it sending and how often?)
I'm still using an old Amazfit Pace which has a Zirconia Ceramic bezel and zero scratches whatsoever. I would really like to see this material used more often. Yes, it's more brittle than metal but it feels premium and is very scratch resistant. At least for the non pro models, zirconia could work great.
Apple Watch 8 looking the same as the seven models before it: “yay a new Apple Watch” … Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 with the same model as last years: “oh…they look the same as last year’s”

Still think that my galaxy watch 4 classic is way better than any of these for one simple reason: the rotating bezel is mechanical, and not just software and vibrations.
Just bought the 4 classic because the 5 has no lunette....and it's half the price 😅
I love how the end of the gateway to the sponsor is the most replayed section
In my experience with the Watch 5 Pro I'm getting 4+ days on a single charge (or 96+ hours). Also there is a new sensor (a temperature sensor) that's supposed to help with sleep tracking that isn't functional yet (whenever the government agencies approve it). And while I do miss the rotating bezel of my GW4 Classic, I've actually gotten used to not having one anymore. And yeah, I didn't even fuss about with the band the GW5 Pro came with, I immediately uninstalled it and put on my Velcro strap that I used on my old watch. I have also noticed that due to the slightly different design of how the sensor sits on the wrist, it's actually more accurate and consistent when using the heart rate measuring continuously. And in my experience the watch actually charges pretty fast despite it having a massive battery. It's so much cheaper than Apples Ultra expensive model they just released.
I would rather have the watch 4 with a rotating bezel that allows me to actually interact with the device when running, and not at all interested in a temperature sensor, or a thicc watch as I charge all of my devices daily on the way to work.
So, just buy the watch 4 then?
This comment is more useful than the video! Thanks.
holy crap that battery life is so awful. If you can't get a week of battery out of a watch then that's just bad.
@@CRneu well it miles ahead of the Apple Watch Ultras paltry 36 hour battery life.
but why would I buy this when clearly only Apple watches can save my life in an emergency??? can't believe ShortCircuit condones death, smh my head
what?
But it can't save your life in an emergency if the batteri is dead! Can't believe that Shortcircuit covers these watches instead of the Iridium 9555 Satellite Phone with solar charging. SMH my head!!1!
@@Lu-db1uf It's a joke about Apple's fall event which had an introductory video that focused on the apple watch and iphone saving peoples lives and messages to Tim Cook about Apple saving their lives. LTT and many others have made fun of it for how goofy it is.

You know android watches have had the same feature since 2019, right?
that's the type of clasp that's used on luxury watches like Omega. not sure if it would be the same quality but I'm impressed by the design of the band
Yup, a "butterfly clasp"
That uniloop band stretches out to a point that it becomes too loose..
It has an expiry date, almost like planned obsolescence, Apple wants you to like it so that you can buy more of these every few months (or days) based on your usage.
Pretty accurate. Loved the braided solo loop it was fantastic. I even bought a size smaller than recommended and it still ended up stretching to the point of being unwearable.
Recently got the Nike Sport loop and so far it’s been pretty great
dude, the sleep tracking is the only reason i own a smartwatch...
It explains a lot if you struggle during a long workout. Then you see the sleep you actually got last night and understand why.
Ask any Apple watch owner, they just charging them every night.
@@vadnegru nope, and especially not with the Ultra
@@vadnegru nah I charge it in the morning when I’m in the shower and getting ready for 30 minutes :D
In the A/V industry, where I work, most real "pro" equipment just has a descriptive letter and number combination. Most of the equipment which is actually labelled with "pro" in the name, is usually consumer stuff.
guys, I honestly never saw someone having so much trouble with a deployant watch. like seriously, I used those since I was 14 and never struggled once, and nobody I know ever did, so that's either the worst deployant ever, or I don't know man...
“I don’t know who’s crazy enough to wear a watch while sleep”. Maybe someone who needs to wake up at a specific time to - I don’t know - work
I have used the pro for about a month and a half. I haven't been bothered by the physical bezel being removed so far I have never had a case for using it. Even if swimming I just put on water mode. The side button controls stop pause and finish so its not really an issue. The sensors are great, it is very accurate and knows when I have just been sitting, or if I am active it starts tracking my exercise for me. I have been using it heavily as I normally workout for about 2 to 3 hours a day and a charge normally last 2 with a good 15% left over. I have just switched to charging it while I take my showers though and now do not have to worry about it dying. For the band I have the magnetic one. When adjusted I often forget about it being on my wrist. I love how easy it makes taking it on and off though so I have stuck with it. My labtop does have a metal surface though and I have noticed the metal on metal is very unsettling. So I just move the watch a bit further up my wrist while I am using it to not make contact. Have not used the hiking map feature but when I looked at how to do it. You have to upload a trail file from your phone for each different trail head you might go on.
Idk if this has been said before, but for that 799$ price, doesn’t Apple Watch ultra have titanium too? Samsung definitely undercuts it but I am not so sure about the watch 5 pro tbvh, is from a Samsung user.
I absolutely love my Galaxy Watch 5 Pro. It's by far the best watch I've ever used. Also, that band is the most convenient band there is really. It's not as much of a problem as you're trying to make it out to be.
I like how the s
Galaxy watch 5 doesn't have a design change and reviewers go mad but apple has the same design since the first watch and everyone is ok with it.
These reviews have gotten pretty bad. They are basically full of mistakes that normal tech reviewers would find out during the review, instead we have several pieces of misinformation or small complaints that don't mean anything. I understand this is supposed to be a humorous unboxing channel, but it's often full of misinformation
Let’s call them ultra.
Plus Ultra.
apple already has.
Gives it grief for looking the same.... wears an Apple watch.
Don't be too hard on them, apparently Linus hires special needs people who can't figure out a watch band.
Who sleeps with their watch? I do. Sleep monitoring is half of the usage for me. My watch lasts about a week on a charge, with all-time heart monitor and sleep, and a bit of gps tracking.
Very bias. Typically apple user
If you really want to set things on fire, try changing the title to "Stop with the pro nouns!"
Naw, they too woke for that
Yeah they do look similar to the previous version but so does the apple watch that he is wearing

Apple really try do to something new with every generation. While this lacking rotating bezel might turn away previous model enjoyers.
No issues with the Pro name here. You have a regular one and one with added features. It was classic before, didn't make much sense. Now it's in line with the naming of other products like phones and tablets.
In Europe the Galaxy watch 4 classic can be had for 200€, which is a lot better deal than these new ones
That´s why I just upgraded from my Watch 44mm BT to a Watch 4 46mm BT. The Watch 4 Classic was a snatch at 189 € at the last Prime Day sale compared to the upcoming Watch 5 .
"They look like pretty the same"
Wearing the same (literary) design Apple watch for the last ~ 6 years :D
When you have adjusted the band, you need to put the mini clasp down to lock the position on the band and then it doesnt hurt your arm when you put it down and after that it opens and closes very fast with the magnet.
as for selling your watch 4 for a 5 I traded my watch 4 into samsung for £100 off a watch 5 pro, that's probably the best way to go. The watch 5 pro also has a skin temp sensor on it but it's not used yet.
And I thought Apple was overly generous with the name pro (more so with the iPhones).
they used to have a good naming scheme, and different ("Classic"for the more expensive one)
@@ezrapardede1921 Marketing go brrrr
I keep enjoying my 3-4 days real world usage on my watch5. Having Apple and Samsung side by side this generation. I choose Samsung without a doubt
3-4 days is absolutely awful battery life. This comment section is blowing my mind with what people put up with on "smart" watches.
@@CRneu well compare to apple, 3-4 days is great.
Compare to my old Huawei gt watch that lasts a week but can't connect to anything and tells me it is 3 am when it is noon, it isn't great
how do you manage that? without aod, tilt to wake etc enabled? i can only manage 1 and a half.
Ive always wondered if the ecg in watches are any good and going by that readout I dont think so. The way you're supposed to complete the circuit makes it very difficult to not tense any muscles in your arms, which results in a LOT of interference. You can pretty much just see the RR interval here, whereas with a thumb ecg you can get a graph you can actually show a doctor.
it actually is good. There's a ton of posts on r/galaxywatch of people showing the watch ecg next to a real ecg monitor and it's always either right on or off my 1 or 2 points. So it's actually really accurate.
I really like my new Watch5 Pro. Bought with EPP without band, as the stock one felt bad. Also, in the UK Samsung accepts any smartwatch for trade-in for a 100 pounds discount. Even a cheap Chinese tracker with watch display. Ended up having one for a bargain price.
Get a watch 4 classic and realise what you've lost.
@@NeonVisual well you gained about 2 days of more battery life.
@@cooluser23 Nonsense.
In reality it's about 2/3s of a single day. The GW4 classic has 360mAh and lasts 24 hours with every feature and sensor turned on.
In order to extend that to 2 full days days the battery would need to be doubled to 720mAh.
The GW5 pro actually only has 590mAh, so that leaves you short of two days. What is the point in an extra half a day? You're still going to need to charge it daily unless you want to run out of power half way through the 2nd day.
@@NeonVisual Actually it is about 2 more days.... 4 days (actually almost 5) in total for battery life. You're taking into account only the battery life, the processor upgrades and others also contribute to the better battery... I switched from a GW4 to a GW5 pro and I'm getting 4 1/2 days of battery under full use... calling, texting, all health features turned on and so on.... my biggest conundrum with smart watches is battery life and I have to say I am thoroughly impressed with the changes brought to the GW5 pro
@@rumplestiltskin3441 Processor isn't the main cause of battery drain thanks to the co-processor. The primary batter drain is the display. If you work out every day for an hour and making full use the data, you're not going to get 2 days out of it.
As owner of 4 and now 5... WHY would you want it to look different? It looked great already, I just wanted upgraded internals. And it's NOT really the same, the back is quite different (sensor array) and so is the band. If you want a different look, change the watch face or band. I have several different bands I change depending on season and feel. There's no need to change the watch shape and design itself, certainly not after just a year or even two.
They have the same chip and memory though. A slight increase in battery and bluetooth 5.2 is all you're getting.
@@Thedippestofshits I mostly bought 5 because of hope that the new sensor array layout would make it track heartbeat and exercise better, plus the battery increase and sapphire glass. But I agree that I could have stuck with 4 (active 2?) and just waited another year.
As detected by the Galaxy Watch5 Pro ECG, you might want to get your rapid heartbeat/palpitations checked as a precaution...
I pre-ordered the GW5 because I got a great deal through a discount program I get through work, plus I traded in my original GW active. I like the 5 a lot, but it's funny that all of the accessories for the 5 we're made for the GW4.
Edit because I see others mentioning it: I got the active because I have small wrists and I work in a data center environment where I'm constantly reaching into small spaces. A larger watch wasn't feasible for me so I was never a fan of the rotating bezel because of this. Having said that, it would be nice if the larger version had the rotating bezel for those that want it, it's been a staple of the GW family so idk why they would get rid of it.
Bitching at the clasp while wearing it incorrectly is strange.
I know people miss the bezel, but the bezel made the Watch overall bigger and thicker without adding any battery life OR screen size. The current watches are smaller with a larger battery. So in turn, it is more wearable for a larger audience. although i completely understand missing the utility of a physical bezel.
The bezel was everything.
@OrderFlowArchives it's one of those things where which one you would rather have. A 42 mm watch with a smallish battery and screen. Or a 40mm with a bigger battery and similar screen. Most people complain wearables have shit battery life so Samsung chose the bigger battery option
Seems like the amount of preparation for these videos could be improved.
"They look pretty similar to their previous one", from someone wearing an apple watch.

I mean, he did say he had worn previous iterations of the galaxy watch, so yeah, preach elsewhere
@@anthonygeorgiou3926 I'm not preaching. It's just my observation.
I use a textile armband for my Galaxy Watch too :)
Actually, I like the slower innovation pace more because my current products don't get outdated as quickly
Would be interesting if LTT channel did a "state of smartwatches" (yearly) review
Do it after the Pixel watch comes out.
Editing probably should’ve included the series 8 and the Ultra pricing, but oh well
I guess this was made prior to Apple event, but yeah, as a last minute edit could put that somewhere.
I Had a watch4 and now the 5 pro. The battery Life is Just so good and Something i needed with my 4. Now with trade in and preorder, i paid 130 Euros. Cant complain
Samsung has a trade-in program. I traded my 3 Titanium (which had a metal clasp) for a discount on a 5 pro and enjoying the new features and the updated OS. I did not have the same issues with the clasp. I'm guessing these guys have never had a traditional clasp watch before? Unlike a traditional clasp it's nice that it's adjustable to your wrist and you just pull to separate. The lip definitely helps if you knocking your wrist around things, so it's a good deterrent against damage to the screen.
what I don't like about these short circuit and linus tech tips channels are that they basically do only unboxing and first impressions, read the specs and conclude the video. they dont use it daily enough to review how good or bad the product is because you will only know how good or bad the product and their features are working only after daily driving them for like few days or weeks. they just conclude their thoughts based upon few minutes or hours spent with the products and trying some features either its a watch, earbuds, tv, laptops or phones
I don't really have a lot of excitement for smart watches. The only reason I wanted one in the first place was after learning that Fitbits use web technologies like XML and CSS for their displays, so I made a custom display for myself and have never upgraded past my Versa 2.
Thanks for sharing and adding literally nothing to the conversation. I absolutely cannot stand folks like you who have an unnatural need to say "i don't like that" about videos where you probably shouldn't have even bothered clicking in the first place.
Knob
i didn't know fitbits could do that, a custom watch face with xml???
thanks for sharing might try and get my hands on one

You can get it removed at certified retailers IF you choose to upgrade
Quite a bit of "I don't know" going on. Seems like some more prep should have been done ahead of time.
PLEASE cover garmin, their birthday was recently and I'm wondering what to buy
After this Jake needs to be the one to review the apple watch pro.
*Ultra, not Pro
This guy must have the weakest fingers in his age group.
You can't figure out a regular clasp band? And what's there to dislike about it? I have GW5 pro and I find this band to be the best and most comfortable compared to other bands, you adjust one size according to your wrist and then it's just the matter of opening or closing the clasp, it's quick and easy to put on and never feels too tight. The thickness of the clasp/magnet might be an issue to some but it didn't bothered me even when typing on a keyboard, I do miss the rotating bazel but it's still a great watch.
Just like someone said it before, the rotating bezel was something i thought was really cool on these watches. Although i cannot wear any watch, to me it feels really bad to wear them, over time i feel my wrists start to hurt (tried multiple brands).
The funny thing is the price, in my country it costs around 520 USD... I could buy a mid range phone, or an airpods max for that price.
Even a series 7 Apple watch cost only 400USD. I would not buy this watch, the band looks awful as well. I have Samsung fit 2? But the way you have to lock it on your wrist it just sucks. Why using such a stupid locking mechanism? Was the normal way not good enough?
The clasp I guess is more like a business style of watch, but in my experience it only works on hard watch bands, otherwise it does not work
Might be due to friction, which can become an issue either when the band is too tight or too lose. Also, you should wash your watch daily. And it could also be sensitive skin or allergy.
I have a couple of 20 buck smartwatches I bought on ebay. They are light, comfortable and simple to use. The gear S3 I have it gathering dust.
that is a traditional clasp on normal watches so not being able to use an old school clasp is quite surprising tbh
Yeah so true, better think of a new name for your "Mustache Pro".
I mean I definitely like the titanium and sapphire glass for the decent price. For me the apple watch would be close to perfect if it had slightly more battery life. Having to charge twice a day if you want to do sleep tracking just outright sucks. I refuse to use a fitbit with how they are now locking features behind a premium subscription. I almost considered the apple watch ultra because I am pretty hard on watches but ugg I hate paying for LTE when I am not going to use it. I really wish there would have been a version that was 100 cheaper with no LTE.
I currently own a Watch 4 Classic and I really wanted the Apple Watch Ultra, but it turns out it's not compatible with android devices and I have a S22U, that sucks but I guess it's to be expected from an Apple product. And there is no way in hell I'm switching to an iPhone just to have an Apple watch.
GoPro is crying from this title
imagine spending half a video showing us all how you misunderstand basic things.
Kinda a representation of the LMG
The amount of times he says it's the same as last time physically hurts because even apple does it to their watches (excluding the new pro one)
So it's not bad that it's the same lmao
It kinda pisses me off whenever tech UA-camrs complain about a product seeming similar to the previous year's. People don't replace their tech every 3 months whenever the next company releases a new flagship lineup of products. In the case of the GW5 it gives consumers the chance to buy a more refined version of the highly-appraised 4 with updated specs, support, warranties, etc. And, if you want to save money, you can always go for last year's model.
I'm still using the OG Galaxy Watch (basically just to give me the time and ballpark-track my workouts as it's far too antiquated for anything else) so the 5 is an attractive option for me, especially with a nice deal come November.
You literally have an apple watch on, and yet you talk about the new watch looking the same as before?? lol
Proper typing technique is that your wrists are supposed to be in the air (prevents carpal tunnel), not touching a wrist rest. So your watch band should never be hitting your laptop or desk. What's with all these technology people not knowing how things are supposed to work?
I have waited for announcement of these 5th generation of watches so I could upgrade my Gear S3 Frontier but after figuring out that it doesnt have rotating bezel and its basically internaly Watch 4 with bigger battery I went for Watch 4 Classic LTE and still safe almost 200€.
the battery in the 5 pro is perfect. I can wear it for 2 days where I couldn't do that with my apple watch or watch4
is this a reupload, I am having the biggest deja vu rn
My parents watches have the same mechanism to close the band. Without magnets though and integrated so it’s just as big as the rest of the band.
Not that easy to adjust though.
I'll stop calling things Pro when you stop calling that a moustache.
The fact that they genuinely underestimated how much ppl wanted the bezel is probably the dumbest thing I have seen Samsung do since I have been a supporter
Actual facts. I was like "maybe there's a different model coming out later" kinda like how the Note series of phones worked. But nope, Samsung is just brain dead this time around.
Yeah, companies don't care if you're a supporter of them. As long as they can sell, that's all that matters
You really don't need the bezel. It was useful on Tizen. It isn't on WearOS. A rotating crown would be much better.

Don't the new apple watches look exactly the same as the old ones? Not a whole lot there to change
Watching these I wonder why Garmin devices keep getting over looked.
because they look like junk.
They are not for techies actually so they skip on look and feel to focus on sport things. Also military people loves them.
So glad I’m in the Apple ecosystem and just use a Apple Watch. All these other watches look so crappy
@@vadnegru As a techie I love my Garmin watch. It has much more "tech" than any Samsung or Apple watch.
I'm still using an old Amazfit Pace which has a Zirconia Ceramic bezel and zero scratches whatsoever. I would really like to see this material used more often. Yes, it's more brittle than metal but it feels premium and is very scratch resistant. At least for the non pro models, zirconia could work great.
Apple Watch 8 looking the same as the seven models before it: “yay a new Apple Watch” … Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 with the same model as last years: “oh…they look the same as last year’s”
Samsung takes your old watch as a trade in, and yes, I wear the watch while sleeping. Tracking my sleep is a must for health these dats.
I got this watch and there are cases and screen protectors you can get.
I upgraded to watch 5 from active 2. I wear watch 5 while sleeping to track my sleep really important and snoring detection is really good.
I've had a s3 frontier for a few years now and I don't have any reason to upgrade currently, but when the time comes I hope Samsung brings the rotating bezel back. It's super useful.
Correct me if I'm wrong but, doesn't the watch pro 5 have a temperature sensor?
He didn't really talk about not being able to get excited because a product looks like last years one while wearing an apple watch, right?
