Samsung Galaxy Watch5 Pro Is Now $150 Off
The Samsung Galaxy Watch5 Pro is a rugged smartwatch focused on outdoor fitness. Right now , the Samsung Galaxy Watch5 Pro is on sale for $299.99 (originally $449.99). According to various price comparison tools, this is the lowest price ever. However, this smartwatch isn’t for everyone, so read on to find out if it’s right for you.
The Watch5 Pro comes in one size with a 45mm screen, so people with smaller wrists may find this smartwatch too big. Also, unlike other Galaxy smartwatches, there is no physical rotating bezel to navigate through the smartwatch menu. Instead, the Pro version has a touch-sensitive bezel, which likely prevents dirt and debris from getting into the physical bezel mechanism.
The watch is IP68 water and dust resistant and has a scratch resistant sapphire screen. It’s based on the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5, with the same sensors, most of the same features, and the same interface. The Pro version doubles the battery life (up to 80 hours) and has additional outdoor features like “tracking back” to help you retrace your steps if you get lost. It can also import and export GPX files so you can, for example, import routes from Strava from a friend. You can read PCMag’s “excellent” review here for a more in-depth review.
The Galaxy Watch5 Pro is not intended for serious athletes as it lacks features such as recovery metrics and the battery is not designed for multi-day activities. But if you’re looking for a sports smartwatch and don’t need something super hardcore, this might be the way to go.
