Review on Smart watch Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 40 mm Wi-Fi NFC, pink gold by Mateusz Praga ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Wonderful quality, one hundred percent satisfied!

This is a Vietnam timepiece. In 2022, you'll need to choose a locale that supports some features for them to really work. The language is 2022, the watch connects easily to the S21 (rosstest smartphone), and the information from my old watches is automatically synced with the new ones. I quickly settled on Cyprus. After leaving my Samsung galaxy watch active 2 behind for two years, I've finally upgraded to a new watch. What else can I say? The fifth battery was a letdown; it discharges twice as quickly as the previous two, and it charges almost as slowly as the second. This leaves me wondering where the promised improvement in charging speed and runtime has gone. At the same time, they both have nearly the same functionalities. On the second, we had a pulse, an electrocardiogram, and a blood pressure reading (both the second and fifth display only the calibrated tonometer data), with oxygen saturation (which I measured on the fifth, but only after trying five times!) and body mass index (BMI) missing. These improvements, which took place over the course of five watch generations, are insufficient for three generations of watches. In 2K, the galaxy store was a nice place to shop for dials and apps, but in 5G, you had to go through some hoops to get them from Google Play, and the selection there isn't great. I also found the training recognition to be lacking; while 2 out of 10 could figure out that I was walking, 5 out of 20 couldn't, so I had to manually activate training. Whereas in 2k the clock only lit up when he raised his hand, the inclusion of the gesture in 5k makes it more reactive, resulting in the clock burning for any movement of the hand during the night (and discharging faster as a result). I really hope they can get this ates congestion cleared out soon. Overall, the watch is more advanced and quicker than my previous two-up; it also has better graphics and a bigger screen, but otherwise I can't tell the difference. When taken together with the second, I give them a 3.5/5 rating; when taken separately, each receives a 5/5 rating from me. You should get a bumper + film / cover right away because the sides are easily scratched and I have no idea how durable the glass is.

Pros
  • Elegant, accommodating, swift, and functionally superior.
Cons
  • Dials, app store, and questionable blood pressure and oxygen monitoring capability are all downsides.
