Samsung Galaxy Watch5 Bluetooth (44 mm, Silver, Compatible with Android only)

Just awesome

while speaking more than 10 minutes heating issue is coming otherwise remaining features ok

Overall product is good expect battery life.
If you want to explore the samsung eco system this would be best in price.
Otherwise if you want long battery life go for some other smartwatches

I loved this watch. There are a lot of pros and cons to this watch. But over all, it’s a good one and probably a better buy until galaxy watch 5 comes down to better pricing.

Pros :
1 software : what a smooth UI. What an experience. It feels so smooth and responsive to the touch, and there is an option to increase touch sensitivity too if needed. Really good and cohesive UI especially with samsung phones, this will go well. It is compatible with other android phones too. The animations and gestures are fast and don’t feel bad. There’s a touch sensitive bezel, like the classic galaxy watch has a rotating bezel. I haven’t tried the classic watch so I can’t say how this feature is in comparison to that. But I mostly don’t use the bezel scroll,as it is not so intuitive to me. Depends from person to person. The other side to this is that the touch and response is so good on the screen you don’t mind using it more.
2 Display : it has a very bright and sharp display. A delight to look at. Under bright sunlight also everything is visible properly. I sent a few photos to the watch. They’re so good. Context, they were all nature photos shot in s20 fe and on the watch they do look tiny but zooming in doesn’t distort or blurr the image. The sharpness is retained along with color quality. Over all amazing display from samsung as usual.
3 design : teh design of this watch is nothing short of premium. Everything from the materials used to the finishing to the straps all feels top notch. No doubt it is a sturdy watch. Can survive moderate to little rough usage. And the straps are user removable, you can remove them yourself. No need of any tool or taking to the shop. You can add third party straps as per your wish and style choices. All these straps have the same removable design and hence it is really good. If you don’t like the look of the watch, or bored of it, simply change the straps. The whole watch body is made of metal alloy which feels robust but is also very light.

Cons.
1 : battery. The watch battery is usually very small to begin with but other brand watches usually last around 5-7 days on a single charge. But this lasts 2 days on low usage and 1 day on heavy usage. And the bundled charger is very slow in charging it. Takes 2 hours to full.
2 workout monitoring : the heart rate tracking, sleep monitoring, stress system, even body mass composition features all of them are really good. Really really accurate too. They’re pretty close to the real world. But my only gripe (it’s nitpicking) is that there isn’t a proper workout tracking or detecting features. Walking running are detected automatically and recorded as exercise sessions. It even has GPS to get accurate distance walked or ran. The watch supports a lot of different workouts like swimming, cycling, walking and running and many many more. But it can only detect a few automatically, others you have to select yourself. I personally do more weight training and strength gym. I had to always select the particular workout I was doing and only then it could track it. Extra step is annoying but it’s personal really. This watch is so fitness oriented that it even has a swimming mode where in you can wear it for a swim and it will track your session and the screen won’t respond to touches and you have to disable it by long pressing the home button and it will eject the water in speakers with a high frequency sound. It also has sleep tracking that is really good.

Over all I would say getting it under 10k is really good. I have the Bluetooth version not LTE. LTE also needs esim to work. There really is no other smart watch in this price range that comes close to this one in every aspect. Go for it, its an all round amazing watch.
