Samsung Galaxy Watch5 44mm 4G LTE Smart Watch, Graphite (UK Version)

Product Information

Running Wear OS 3, both Google and Samsung are still finding their feet in the wider smartwatch space. The operating system is richer when it comes to apps and features than those of the semi-smartwatch competition like the Huawei GT 3, but you don't quite get the polish Apple's watchOS brings to the table. Change your airtime tariff after 30 days and then once every billing month during your minimum contract period, choosing from a selected family of tariffs. Some tariff extras are only available on the starting tariff, are not transferable, and may be lost if you change to an ineligible tariff. Devices are subject to availability.

Compatible with Galaxy Watch in Wear OS powered by Samsung. Requires pairing with smartphone with latest version of Smart Switch installed. Blood pressure feature is not intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions, or in the cure, mitigation, treatment or prevention of disease. Do not interpret or take clinical action based on the predictions made without consultation of a qualified healthcare professional.Additionally, SmartThings integration also pairs your sleep cycle with your connected smart home, meaning lights can be set to dim or switch off, and other IoT devices will refrain from making noise when the Watch 5 detects that you're going to sleep. However, aside from that, the experience here has been largely the same as that I enjoyed roughly a year ago with the Galaxy Watch 4. With even last year’s chipset making a return, there are no speed improvements to be found when using the software. The new smartwatch from the South Korean manufacturer could be the closest thing to a rival to the Cupertino-based flagship wearable. Without going into detail, and making it clear that they are two different worlds, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 has some of the features that made the Californian watch so popular, and it is also cheaper. There are those who will still prefer to buy the Apple Watch Series 7, especially those loyal to the brand, but what is clear is that this, along with its Pro version, is the most advanced Android smartwatch so far. Numerous Health Functions

Both premium smartwatches have a round Super AMOLED display available up to 46mm. But the Galaxy Watch5 Pro truly stands the test of time with the built in Sapphire Crystal Glass. What’s more, the Galaxy Watch4 Classic has up to 40 hours usage time, whereas the Galaxy Watch5 Pro can last up to twice as long with up to 80 hours of usage. You might be thinking that Wear OS means the Watch 5 syncs with Google Fit, and it does, but not by default. Out of the box, this is a Samsung Health gadget (and Samsung Health doesn't sync with Google Fit). You can, however, install Google Fit and switch out your defaults, but you'll be saying goodbye to the integrated metric monitoring Samsung's Watch makes a big deal of – specifically, sleep and body composition. Specifically with regard to the 40mm version, if you don't work out, you might scrape through two days; but if you do, expect no more than a day of battery life from the Watch 5. If you're coming from a long-lasting smartwatch like the Huawei Watch GT series, it's a serious adjustment. Provided when GPX format route file is imported for hiking and cycling and route is set as target under Samsung Health settings. It’s really impressive tech that ensures I’ll be wearing the Galaxy Watch 5 long after writing this review – or at least until I can get my sleeping pattern how it should be.Testing conducted by Samsung in June 2022 using pre-released version of Galaxy Watch 5 (BT & LTE), each paired to a Samsung phone; all devices tested with pre-release software, Galaxy Watch Magnetic Fast Charging USB C Cable (EP-OR900), and Samsung 25W USB C Power Adapter (EP-TA800).

Swipe to the left-hand screen to see notifications, and keep swiping through the screens to the right of the watch face to cycle through your tiles. These are rich widgets of sorts, each giving you a peek into an app or feature, or a shortcut to the full experience. UK and Europe Zone data usage only.
