The health and fitness attributes of the GALAXY WATCH are emphasized by SAMSUNG. There is compatibility with the online fitness program of the company.

The new watch looks a lot like the old one. Functions such as the processor, operating system, memory, sensors, and storage remain the same. The addition of a new temperature sensor and a greater surface coverage area make the health metrics more accurate than the watch 4.

The Watch 4's battery is less than the Watch 5's, but it charges faster and has a bigger one. It's the first smart watch from the company to use a harder display.

The watch 5 pro model takes things to a whole new level. It has a titanium case with a protruded bezel for extra protection and a D-Buckle Sport Band. Users with smaller wrists could be turned away by the larger watch. The features are designed for outdoor enthusiasts.
