26:03 Is the Watch 5 Pro Worth It?

Intro: This is the brand new Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro. And in this video we will take a first look at the heart rate accuracy, sleep tracking performance, GPS tracking and oxygen saturation measurements of this new watch from Samsung. In the last weeks, I already shared several videos in which I performed extensive tests on the standard version of the Galaxy Watch 5. However, many of you have been asking how the Pro version compares to the baseline model. So, in this video we will take a first look at the sports and health tracking performance of the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro. And, honestly, the Watch 5 Pro definitely has some advantages over the normal Watch 5. However, if spending the extra money is actually worth it, is something you will have to decide for yourself, and I hope this video will help you make that decision.

Conclusions: In terms of sports and health tracking, I get the impression that the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro performs about the same as the normal Galaxy Watch 5, and as we saw in my other tests. This also means it is not performing that differently from the older Galaxy Watch 4. Now, future firmware updates might change this, because we have seen updates make major differences in the performance of the Galaxy Watch 4. Still, if you do not care about the battery life, the navigation features, or the different look of the Watch 5 Pro, you might as well get the much cheaper Watch 5 or even the Watch 4. However, if money is not an issue, I do quite like the look of the Watch 5 Pro, especially if you replace the strap with this brown one.
Now, let’s take a step back, and see if I would actually recommend the Watch 5 pro in general, or even the Watch 5 for that matter. Well, from a sports and health tracking perspective they are OKish watches, with good heart rate tracking for stationary cardio exercises, and the SpO2 sensor on the Watch 5 Pro also shows some promise. However, there are definitely better watches out there. I would mostly consider getting one of these watches if you also care about the smartwatch features themselves, and your focus is not mainly on sports and health. Therefore, based on my experience so far, overall I would give the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro: 3.5 out of 5 stars.
