The bet was
big, but it seems like it's paying off because the appetite for Galaxy
smartwatches has remained steady. And you get considerably better integration
with your Android smartphone.
This year,
the company made another bold move removing the rotating bezel from the Classic
model and renaming it to Pro. Now, the line-up consists of the Galaxy Watch5
and the Watc5 Pro. There's still the virtual bezel control, but the physical
one will be missed.JH. The vanilla Watch5 also gets a bigger battery,
but the upgrade is relatively modest 410mAh from 361mAh at least as far as the
44mm is concerned.
Another upgrade worth noting
is that the new Watch5 series have a sapphire crystal protecting the display
and the Watch5 Pro takes it one step further with a titanium body.
As
for the rest of the hardware, it's pretty much identical as all four watches
run on the same Exynos W920 platform, use the same 1.4-inch Super AMOLED
display with 450 x 450px resolution and have the same set of sensors. This
includes the ECG monitor, and the blood pressure monitor, too.
Although
small, these changes may affect user experience quite a bit, so we dive deeper
into the Galaxy Watch5 capabilities.
