In the 90s, everything was "Turbo". In the 2000s, everything was "HD". In the 2010s, everything was "smart" and today, everything is "Pro" haha

I can't believe they removed the rotating bezel. Pretty much the only reason I was a loyal Galaxy Watch user in the first place, as you can still use it in wet situations that would make it impossible to use the touchscreen.

Tbh there's only so many times you can innovate what a watch looks like. Though as a Galaxy Watch 4 user, the rotating bezel is both a useful feature and adds to the look of the watch, shame they got rid of that

The lack of rotating bezel was a big dealbreaker for me. Probably one of the best features on the Watch4 Classic. If anything, now that it's being discounted that might be the model to get for someone who doesn't have either. They do share the same processor.

_”But you know who else is Pro? Our sponsor!”_

I've never seen someone screw up putting on a watch band so badly. Like no shade but you almost did it backwards 😆

Seeing him how he struggled to figure out how deployment clasp works was kinda painful

You can really tell he’s never worn a traditional watch before

I'm sure other commentors have pointed some of this out, but as an owner, I had a couple of comments . . . 1st: when I Get the clasp set up the way I like it, it's set it and forget it (and quite comfy), but I do not like that it gets in the way of charging sometimes (I get around this by inverting it) 2nd: it does actually have a new sensor vs the previous gen, which is a temperature sensor. It doesn't do anything yet though, to be fair, but I'm sure it will. 🙂

Seeing Jake in forefront of a video where he is not at linus's new house is refreshing...

"They look the same as the old ones" says someone using an Apple Watch.

Fun fact: In the truck word, the Ford F-150 Lightning Pro is the cheapest trim because it's actually for professionals (work truck with no fancy amenities).

he hates on Samsung , but praises apple for a cheap ass watch band.

I upgraded from the galaxy watch 1 42mm to the 5 pro and I honestly don't miss the rotating bezel as it always got gunked up with dirt and pulling off the bezel to clean wasn't too bad but it's hard to keep track of all the little balls.

I had been telling time like an amateur my whole life.

The battery life upgrade ALONE is worth the upgrade. over 3-4 DAYS of battery life in a single charge WITHOUT a battery saver enabled! Also we have upgraded materials TITANIUM casing on the 5 pro and sapphire crystal covering the display in both watch 5 and 5 pro. Also the watch 5 / 5pro now feature a temperature sensor which is nice.

dude, the sleep tracking is the only reason i own a smartwatch...

idk why but a lot of people put the band on wrong

Stop calling things pro: Okay, What about Ultra then?

I just bought a Watch 4 classic as a replacement for my Gear S3 (that still works fine after 4 years btw.) I didn't bother with the 5 because the rotating bezel is gone. This feature is so good. It feels great to interact with the watch using the lunette plus you don't smear all over the screen all the time and you can interact with it while wearing gloves. Round watches look great with the round screen and the lunette was THE killerfeature to buy one from Samsung imho. I hope they are going to add it again in the future

Still think that my galaxy watch 4 classic is way better than any of these for one simple reason: the rotating bezel is mechanical, and not just software and vibrations.

Ive always wondered if the ecg in watches are any good and going by that readout I dont think so. The way you're supposed to complete the circuit makes it very difficult to not tense any muscles in your arms, which results in a LOT of interference. You can pretty much just see the RR interval here, whereas with a thumb ecg you can get a graph you can actually show a doctor.

I love how the end of the gateway to the sponsor is the most replayed section

I actually love the new watch band for the pro. I like the look and how easy it is to put on once sized. The magnetic piece at the bottom does not bother me at all. The battery is great on the pro. It lasts two nights and three days where my watch 4 did not even last the full day.

Just like any other tech product, never upgrade unless something broke on your previous device. The real smart move is to keep things going - repair them, service them. Marketing will always try to sway you to spend money unnecessarily.

I have used the pro for about a month and a half. I haven't been bothered by the physical bezel being removed so far I have never had a case for using it. Even if swimming I just put on water mode. The side button controls stop pause and finish so its not really an issue. The sensors are great, it is very accurate and knows when I have just been sitting, or if I am active it starts tracking my exercise for me. I have been using it heavily as I normally workout for about 2 to 3 hours a day and a charge normally last 2 with a good 15% left over. I have just switched to charging it while I take my showers though and now do not have to worry about it dying. For the band I have the magnetic one. When adjusted I often forget about it being on my wrist. I love how easy it makes taking it on and off though so I have stuck with it. My labtop does have a metal surface though and I have noticed the metal on metal is very unsettling. So I just move the watch a bit further up my wrist while I am using it to not make contact. Have not used the hiking map feature but when I looked at how to do it. You have to upload a trail file from your phone for each different trail head you might go on.

That uniloop band stretches out to a point that it becomes too loose.. It has an expiry date, almost like planned obsolescence, Apple wants you to like it so that you can buy more of these every few months (or days) based on your usage.

I pre-ordered the GW5 because I got a great deal through a discount program I get through work, plus I traded in my original GW active. I like the 5 a lot, but it's funny that all of the accessories for the 5 we're made for the GW4. Edit because I see others mentioning it: I got the active because I have small wrists and I work in a data center environment where I'm constantly reaching into small spaces. A larger watch wasn't feasible for me so I was never a fan of the rotating bezel because of this. Having said that, it would be nice if the larger version had the rotating bezel for those that want it, it's been a staple of the GW family so idk why they would get rid of it.

Idk if this has been said before, but for that 799$ price, doesn’t Apple Watch ultra have titanium too? Samsung definitely undercuts it but I am not so sure about the watch 5 pro tbvh, is from a Samsung user.

that's the type of clasp that's used on luxury watches like Omega. not sure if it would be the same quality but I'm impressed by the design of the band

I got a Watch4 Classic for the rotating bezel and when I bump and scrape my watch on stuff I'm genuinely surprised it has no scratches. My only issue is the leather band is falling apart already..

I was able to get one a little before release for an unboxing and while there are a few growing pains, I'm enjoying it so far. I thought I would dislike the lack of rotating bezel, especially with how much I bump into things, but that part I've gotten used to pretty fast. All the apps I use daily are fast and easy and just there. My only real complaint is that you have to be connected to a phone to use speech to text. You CAN NOT use it in LTE mode for that.

Let’s call them ultra. Plus Ultra.

guys, I honestly never saw someone having so much trouble with a deployant watch. like seriously, I used those since I was 14 and never struggled once, and nobody I know ever did, so that's either the worst deployant ever, or I don't know man...

I'm still using an old Amazfit Pace which has a Zirconia Ceramic bezel and zero scratches whatsoever. I would really like to see this material used more often. Yes, it's more brittle than metal but it feels premium and is very scratch resistant. At least for the non pro models, zirconia could work great.

Correct me if I'm wrong but, doesn't the watch pro 5 have a temperature sensor?

I absolutely love my Galaxy Watch 5 Pro. It's by far the best watch I've ever used. Also, that band is the most convenient band there is really. It's not as much of a problem as you're trying to make it out to be.

It's really funny that a lot of tech reviewers will quickly and quietly move past Apple products being the same thing each year but then actively stop and give it's competitors shit for it.

You can't figure out a regular clasp band? And what's there to dislike about it? I have GW5 pro and I find this band to be the best and most comfortable compared to other bands, you adjust one size according to your wrist and then it's just the matter of opening or closing the clasp, it's quick and easy to put on and never feels too tight. The thickness of the clasp/magnet might be an issue to some but it didn't bothered me even when typing on a keyboard, I do miss the rotating bazel but it's still a great watch.

To that clasp, i use a Fitbit watch and it has the older clip in style and the clip constantly comes undone and sometimes falls out entirely as it just sits in a hole

but why would I buy this when clearly only Apple watches can save my life in an emergency??? can't believe ShortCircuit condones death, smh my head

PLEASE cover garmin, their birthday was recently and I'm wondering what to buy

It's has got a new sensor by the way. It has a body temperature sensor which I believe is a first in wearables. Unfortunately it's just not active at the moment as they are still figuring the laws pertaining to it in each region.

do any of these have the old wrist gestures where you can navigate the watch without your second hand?

Just like someone said it before, the rotating bezel was something i thought was really cool on these watches. Although i cannot wear any watch, to me it feels really bad to wear them, over time i feel my wrists start to hurt (tried multiple brands). The funny thing is the price, in my country it costs around 520 USD... I could buy a mid range phone, or an airpods max for that price. Even a series 7 Apple watch cost only 400USD. I would not buy this watch, the band looks awful as well. I have Samsung fit 2? But the way you have to lock it on your wrist it just sucks. Why using such a stupid locking mechanism? Was the normal way not good enough?

I mean I definitely like the titanium and sapphire glass for the decent price. For me the apple watch would be close to perfect if it had slightly more battery life. Having to charge twice a day if you want to do sleep tracking just outright sucks. I refuse to use a fitbit with how they are now locking features behind a premium subscription. I almost considered the apple watch ultra because I am pretty hard on watches but ugg I hate paying for LTE when I am not going to use it. I really wish there would have been a version that was 100 cheaper with no LTE.

In the A/V industry, where I work, most real "pro" equipment just has a descriptive letter and number combination. Most of the equipment which is actually labelled with "pro" in the name, is usually consumer stuff.

I have a pixel coming from iphone and I miss my apple watch. Is the Galaxy watch where I should be looking or should I check another brand out?

When you have adjusted the band, you need to put the mini clasp down to lock the position on the band and then it doesnt hurt your arm when you put it down and after that it opens and closes very fast with the magnet.

I really like my new Watch5 Pro. Bought with EPP without band, as the stock one felt bad. Also, in the UK Samsung accepts any smartwatch for trade-in for a 100 pounds discount. Even a cheap Chinese tracker with watch display. Ended up having one for a bargain price.

Have they fixed the overheat issue while on lte and listening to Bluetooth. 2 mins and it's shutting down

is this a reupload, I am having the biggest deja vu rn

It must be a generational thing, but to me that is a very common and comfortable clasp. I changed my plastic galaxy strap for a stainless steel one, with this clasp. And only then did I really like my watch. Great video, and thanks for the laugh, watching you guys figure it out.

Samsung has a trade-in program. I traded my 3 Titanium (which had a metal clasp) for a discount on a 5 pro and enjoying the new features and the updated OS. I did not have the same issues with the clasp. I'm guessing these guys have never had a traditional clasp watch before? Unlike a traditional clasp it's nice that it's adjustable to your wrist and you just pull to separate. The lip definitely helps if you knocking your wrist around things, so it's a good deterrent against damage to the screen.

“I don’t know who’s crazy enough to wear a watch while sleep”. Maybe someone who needs to wake up at a specific time to - I don’t know - work

My watch came with that band, its uncomfortable and the metal starts hurting you after like 12 hours of use even of you are wearing it loose. I swapped to the cloth band and its so much better. It's easier to take the watch on and off for charging and it moves out of the way easily so you can use it on standard flat wirless chargers without having to remove the bands like you did with the stock ones.

Yeah they do look similar to the previous version but so does the apple watch that he is wearing

if you give this kind of energy to the Galaxy, u should honestly be more brutal to the new Apple's watch, since the changes is even less. personally i think the changes they did with this are good except for two, naming, and the removal of rotating bezel

No issues with the Pro name here. You have a regular one and one with added features. It was classic before, didn't make much sense. Now it's in line with the naming of other products like phones and tablets.

Does anyone know where to get that band from jakes apple watch?

Gives it grief for looking the same.... wears an Apple watch.

My plan was to use the watch 4 until it dies. But I'm still annoyed they didn't release a 'classic' variant this time around. It get so fiddly at times with the small screen that it's just really nice to have the ability to use the dial as well. But I'm just hoping my galaxy watch 4 doesn't die like my galaxy watch 1 did where it burned my wrist and then shut itself down.

What iwatch band is that? Love the idea of a one piece strap

And I thought Apple was overly generous with the name pro (more so with the iPhones).

My parents watches have the same mechanism to close the band. Without magnets though and integrated so it’s just as big as the rest of the band. Not that easy to adjust though.

I wear my smart band 6 when I sleep everday. Been 2 years nothing happened to it. The size is not the same but I don't think it would change things much.

The next suffix now is "Ultra". I can hear the Killer Instinct announcer screaming "ULTRA!'

Actually, I like the slower innovation pace more because my current products don't get outdated as quickly

In Europe the Galaxy watch 4 classic can be had for 200€, which is a lot better deal than these new ones

The "needs a mobile network connection" thing is definitely for region locking. I had to travel across the border to Germany to be able to activate the damn app (found that out while on a road trip). I've never noticed the clasp on the Watch 5 Pro as uncomfortable, but maybe my arms are too spindly.

I'm currently still rocking an OG Galaxy Watch 46mm LTE. It is still in perfect working condition after 3 years, and the battery is holding up fairly good. Do you think it's worth upgrading to the latest one?

Supposed to wear it on your wrist, not your hand

If you really want to set things on fire, try changing the title to "Stop with the pro nouns!"

Agreed with the video's title. A lot of cheap devices now have the Pro moniker, which is really funny

I got this watch and there are cases and screen protectors you can get.

I know people miss the bezel, but the bezel made the Watch overall bigger and thicker without adding any battery life OR screen size. The current watches are smaller with a larger battery. So in turn, it is more wearable for a larger audience. although i completely understand missing the utility of a physical bezel.

In my experience with the Watch 5 Pro I'm getting 4+ days on a single charge (or 96+ hours). Also there is a new sensor (a temperature sensor) that's supposed to help with sleep tracking that isn't functional yet (whenever the government agencies approve it). And while I do miss the rotating bezel of my GW4 Classic, I've actually gotten used to not having one anymore. And yeah, I didn't even fuss about with the band the GW5 Pro came with, I immediately uninstalled it and put on my Velcro strap that I used on my old watch. I have also noticed that due to the slightly different design of how the sensor sits on the wrist, it's actually more accurate and consistent when using the heart rate measuring continuously. And in my experience the watch actually charges pretty fast despite it having a massive battery. It's so much cheaper than Apples Ultra expensive model they just released.

I like how the s Galaxy watch 5 doesn't have a design change and reviewers go mad but apple has the same design since the first watch and everyone is ok with it.

What model phone are you using in the video?

I don't really have a lot of excitement for smart watches. The only reason I wanted one in the first place was after learning that Fitbits use web technologies like XML and CSS for their displays, so I made a custom display for myself and have never upgraded past my Versa 2.

Editing probably should’ve included the series 8 and the Ultra pricing, but oh well

Since I am happy with my watch4 classic, I will only switch if a new killer feature comes out. Sad about the missing rotating bezel, hopefully they will bring it back.

Well the only reason to upgrade is the battery life, as it is a big problem in....any smartwatch actually. That 530 sounds so tasty....But is it justify the much higher cost and the loss of rotating bezel tought?

I keep enjoying my 3-4 days real world usage on my watch5. Having Apple and Samsung side by side this generation. I choose Samsung without a doubt

I have waited for announcement of these 5th generation of watches so I could upgrade my Gear S3 Frontier but after figuring out that it doesnt have rotating bezel and its basically internaly Watch 4 with bigger battery I went for Watch 4 Classic LTE and still safe almost 200€.

and here i am still using the original 1gen tickwatch pro. i have ALL the health bullcrap disabled and i sleep with it on, only need to charge it once a week for 2 hrs and im back at full charge for another week...still havent found a single reason to "upgrade" to a new watch....

I do ware my watch as a sleep tracker. I am bebating about a Withings ScanWatch Horizon but i wake up several times a night and i loke the bright big numbers on my galaxy watch. not planning on upgrading until the current watch no longer works.

This guy must have the weakest fingers in his age group.

The amount of times he says it's the same as last time physically hurts because even apple does it to their watches (excluding the new pro one) So it's not bad that it's the same lmao

I just want to know what band that is for the apple watch :

as for selling your watch 4 for a 5 I traded my watch 4 into samsung for £100 off a watch 5 pro, that's probably the best way to go. The watch 5 pro also has a skin temp sensor on it but it's not used yet.

These reviews have gotten pretty bad. They are basically full of mistakes that normal tech reviewers would find out during the review, instead we have several pieces of misinformation or small complaints that don't mean anything. I understand this is supposed to be a humorous unboxing channel, but it's often full of misinformation

I have the watch 4 classic and love the rotating bezel so much. It was my upgrade from the gear s3 frontier but straight up the battery life has been quite disappointing. The battery life leap really has me considering but I just don't think I could give up the bezel.

I have a hand-me down Gear S3 Frontiers. While I find the software very limiting compared to what I see of the Apple Watch or newer Galaxy Watch devices I absolutely adore the "dad watch" feel this specific design gives. Usually I do prefer a sleeker and more low-key look for my devices, but for something like a watch just being a circle looks so boring.

I found the bezel-battery trade off was worth it. The bezel was nice, but not necessary. The pro edition also has a lip that has kept my watch even more protected, and the battery like I said is SO worth it. I went from charging my 4 classic once a day, to charging my 5 pro twice a week

You literally have an apple watch on, and yet you talk about the new watch looking the same as before?? lol

I actually would like to hear about the privacy of these devices, both in various emissions (does it beacon constantly and make you easier to follow in stores and such?) and also the privacy policy and data transmission (What is it sending and how often?)

I've been enduring commercials for this device for weeks, not sure why I keep getting them.

I've always had an Otterbox EXO Edge case on my Apple Watch. It makes it slightly bigger, but it's great protection.

"They look pretty similar to their previous one", from someone wearing an apple watch.
