Samsung has two new smartwatches this year. The first is the Galaxy Watch 5, which carries over most of the features of last year's Galaxy Watch 4. The second is the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro, which replaces the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic, and seems like a deliberate attempt at pre-empting Apple’s long-rumored “rugged” Apple Watch Series 8 “Pro”.
Like the other devices announced at Samsung’s Unpacked event today, these new Wear OS smartwatches are refinements rather than genuinely new takes on the space. But the improvements should still be meaningful for anyone looking for better durability or battery life out of their smartwatch.
