Battery life could be better
Still not standard Qi charging
The handy point of difference the rotating ring is gone
There's not a lot to separate it from other wearables
Android only
Seems to need Samsung devices for some features
New temperature sensor is nice to have but won't be available until later via a software update
No iPhone support
As opposed to older Samsung smartwatch models
It's really a watch for Samsung smartphone owners who will get the most out of the features

A relatively fast and slick device, the Watch 5 is a good looking piece of hardware that makes use of the foundation Samsung has built before, even if it feels it hasn't gone anywhere, new or otherwise. This is mostly about minor updates and durability, b...

In Review: Samsung Galaxy Watch5. Test unit provided by Samsung Germany.The Samsung Galaxy Watch5 can do almost everything. It impresses with the ability to provide very precise measurements of many vital signs: heart rate, ECG and blood pressure. It's ju...
Abstract: Samsung made a bold step last year by ditching its own Tizen OS for watches and moving over to Google's Wear OS with its own One UI skin on top. The bet was big, but it seems like it's paying off because the appetite for Galaxy smartwatches has remained s...
Enhanced toughness from scratches Vibrant AMOLED display Clean and minimalist design New skin temperature sensor Compatible with third party 20mm straps,
40mm version a bit small for men Skin temperature sensor doesn do much at launch
Redesigned health sensor makes for a better fit, Improved sleep tracking, complete with insights, Charging speeds are vastly improved, Wear OS 3 really shines, complete with onboard Google Assistant, Sapphire Glass seems to hold up, so far
Battery life doesn't come as advertised, Key features are limited to Samsung Galaxy phones, Essentially the same as the Galaxy Watch 4 with a new name, Touch bezel is practically useless
Samsung decided to play it safe with the Galaxy Watch 5 this year, bringing more changes to the Watch 5 Pro instead. But even with claims of longer battery life and improved health tracking, the best Android smartwatch doesn't do much to raise the bar. It...

Abstract: We've had a Samsung review blitz over the past two weeks, covering all the products the company announced at its recent Unpacked event. In my write-up of the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, I noted how understated the product line was, in contrast to its flash, bomba...
Google apps out of the box, Reasonable price, Snappy performance, Better fit thanks to curved sensor, Sapphire crystal glass for a more durable display
Some health tracking features still only work with Samsung phones, Battery life upgrade is minimal, No rotating bezel
In almost any case I'm definitely going to suggest that you buy this smartwatch if you're looking to get a smartwatch in the first place, and want the best option out there for Android users. And as I noted earlier, I still recommend this model over the G...
