Check out what's new on the Samsung Galaxy Watch5
Introducing Samsung’s latest line of watches available on our website: the Galaxy Watch5 and Galaxy Watch5 Pro! These sleek, stylish, and powerful devices use Google Wear OS Powered by Samsung to provide a variety of features like the Play Store, Google Fit health trackers, and improved GPS navigation. You can also customize your watch in your favorite colors using our exclusive accessories. Make sure to set up your watch with the Galaxy Wearable app on your phone to take advantage of everything it has to offer.
Galaxy Watch5 compatibility
The Galaxy Watch5 and Galaxy Watch5 Pro have a few things in common with the previous Galaxy Watch4 series. Like the standard Galaxy Watch4, both Galaxy Watch5 models include a bezel-less design. So, if you’re switching over from the Galaxy Watch4, you’ll learn how to navigate your Galaxy Watch5 in no time!
However, like the Galaxy Watch4 series, the Galaxy Watch5 and Galaxy Watch5 Pro cannot be set up as a standalone watch or with an iOS device. They must be set up with a compatible phone via the Galaxy Wearable app, which can be downloaded from the Play Store. You should also make sure your phone has the latest software before connecting your new watch.
Exercise and health tracking
The Google OS integration continues on the Galaxy Watch5 series, which means you can take advantage of both Samsung Health and Google Fit features. For example, you can use Samsung Health trackers like Daily activity, Steps, Sleep, Heart rate, Stress, Blood glucose, and Blood pressure. Google Fit trackers include Breathe, Goals, Heart Points, Heart rate, and Workout. The Google Fit trackers will need to be downloaded to your watch from the Play Store.
The Galaxy Watch5 series’ accurate sensor will help you get incredibly detailed readings when measuring your heart rate, as well as body composition stats like body fat, skeletal muscle, and basal metabolic rate. You can also stay updated on your sleeping habits with Advanced Sleep Coaching, which detects your sleep cycle and heart rate while you're resting.
Note: Advanced Sleep Coaching requires the latest version of the Samsung Health app. You must wear the watch while sleeping for seven days, and then respond to the survey when prompted.
Battery, durability, and GPS
When you’re taking your watch for a ride on your bike, a quick workout at the gym, or even a nearby walk or hike, you’ll want to make sure it can withstand anything. The Galaxy Watch5 series includes the strongest watch face yet, thanks to the scratch resistant Sapphire Crystal glass coating, so you won’t need to worry about damaging it. Plus, the Galaxy Watch5 Pro includes an incredibly tough titanium case.
These watches have a longer battery life when compared to the Galaxy Watch4 series, providing you with up to 50 hours on the Galaxy Watch5, and up to 80 hours on the Galaxy Watch5 Pro. This means you can use the improved GPS navigation features on the Galaxy Watch5 Pro, like voice input, for hours without interruption.
The Galaxy Watch5 Pro also offers the new Import route feature, which lets you import a GPS route file from your phone. Then, strap on your watch and go! When you’re finished exploring, you can use the new Track back feature to follow the same route back home.
Accessories
Several new and exclusive items are available for both customizing and protecting your Galaxy Watch5 and Galaxy Watch5 Pro. These include colorful bands for multiple occasions and special protection faceplates. You can also display your watch while it’s charging on the Charging Cradle. Be sure to personalize your Galaxy Watch5 with all the available accessories you can find on Samsung.com.
