I have been using Fitbit devices for the last dozen years and always found them to be marginally useful and with a life span of less than a couple of years. I have had my Galaxy watch 5Pro for a few weeks now and and am extremely impressed with all of the features and how well they work. Also, these devices look like high end watches and the build quality seems to be top notch. The only negative I have is that I wish the battery life could be 5 or 6 days instead of 2 or 3. But that is a minor issue compared to the the high quality and number of great features of the this unit.
Love: Feel and weight. Great looking titanium watch. Comfortable strap. Plenty of apps. Pretty much everything you'd expect from a watch in this range. Do not love: Battery life. Terrible. Barely lasts 3 days, if I'm lucky.

This is my third Samsung watch, I also owned the Gear S2 and the S3 Frontier. I decided to purchase the 5 Pro because of the longer battery life, the titanium construction, and some other updated features. Also my Frontier was showing signs of screen burn in and it was getting annoying. I have been using the 5 Pro for a couple of weeks and really like it. The WearOS operating system is a nice upgrade to the Tizen system that the Frontier and S2 had. The watch is more responsive, smoother, has a hardened glass face and seems to be pretty rugged. I do miss the rotating bezel somewhat but the digital bezel will be a good substitute for it.
I love it, for a man of 84 years old, it is very easy to use.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After using the piece of artwork, I have a great appreciation for Samsung watches ⌚️. Always helpful with emails, alerts & calendar events. I don't go anywhere without my Samsung watch
Nice watch. Thought the Pro had a gps for tracing routes but it's proprietary file system. That's the only difference in the galaxy 5 and galaxy 5 pro. If all the features are enabled (gps, heart monitor, etc.) battery hours take a big hit. You get maybe a day out of it. The magnetic band got replaced immediately. Nice office feature but not meant for outdoors.
