Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro 45mm Smartwatch with GPS, LTE, Sleep Coaching, and Fast Charger - Renewed

The watch came in non-original packaging, just a white box containing the watch and charging base. I recharged the battery and set it up very easily using an S24+. A software update was required. I have been using it for a month, the watch works well, the battery has lasted two days. Connectivity is good, notifications work well. The strap is comfortable, but the fact that it doesn't open completely can make it difficult to use some types of chargers. It's a big watch, so be aware of that. Despite its size, it's not uncomfortable to wear. It's a nice looking watch, and it appears to be durable, the metal case looks very sturdy. The health mapping features are very interesting. I recommend purchasing it, it's a good choice.

This was my 1st purchase of an Amazon Renewed product & although I was kinda nervous about the quality of the product I was getting, now I can happily say it came in excellent condition and the battery as well seems to be in fantastic condition & lasts easily over a day. That was also something i was concerned about when I made the purchase. I am a tech enthusiast and knew I was gonna be putting the device to its fullest use in pretty much every way possible. I have the always on display turned on as well as the brightness at max. So the fact that i can get through a day without it dying on me is a huge plus as no other watch I've had before was able to do that. The amount of features this watch has is also another big reason I'm happy with the purchase. Honestly, I used to think my friend's Apple watch was the best watch made but compared to this one it's seriously lacking in multiple areas. Also, the watch has LTE capabilities which allow me to keep it fully functional without needing my phone close by which, to me, made this buy such a huge bargain its kind of hard to believe I got it for the price I did. Anyone on the fence for this watch should just get it because its a great price for such a fantastic device.

It's a good watch, but there are some disappointing experiences:1) First time I went for a run and wanted to test out the cellular connection, it overheated and told me to wait. This happened twice since I've owned the watch, and it's usually been on actually hot days. I do have a protective cover, so that may be part o the problem.2) Run tracking is buggy...sometimes. I often start my run from my front door, where my watch has a connection with either my WiFi or phone. When I start a run from this location, it always seems to have trouble determining how far I've run. I'll be 3 minutes into my run and it will say I've done a mile (I wish!). If I bring my phone with me, there is no issue. If I drive to a trail and run it does perfectly fine. I have the feeling their run tracking is using a WiFi rough location to start my run.3) Spotify. This won't count against the watch so much, because it's probably mostly a software issue. I would think it's a pretty good chance that using Spotify with headphones while you're not around your phone is a pretty good use case for a cellular watch. This does work, but it's really not intuitive to use. Sometimes the Spotify UI will just sit there and not tell you whether it's trying to play something, or if it's loading, or whatever. You can literally sit there for minutes fiddling around trying to figure out what Spotify is trying to do. Sometimes when it does work, the events are delayed. For instance I may have chosen a song 10 seconds ago, and gotten no feedback from the UI, yet it will eventually play something.4) Google's apps aren't fully integrated. It's like they're still not fully committed to wearables. For instance, if someone is at the door, you will get a notification. Would you like to see who it is? Well, you will have to go find your phone. There are many apps that don't show useful notifications on the watch. There is so much opportunity to make wearables actually much better than they are, and it's frustrating that Google just doesn't put in the effort.That's pretty much the bad stuff. Now for the good news. When this watch works, it does a really nice job. The watch faces built in are really nice IMO, and you can customize them pretty well with useful shortcuts. (I added a shortcut to start a workout and another to set a timer). We do get Google Assistant now, and I've assigned mine to be triggered by long pressing one of the buttons. Google pay works fine for me. In my experience the battery is much much better than my previous Android watches, which removes some level of anxiety. The build quality is great. I am rough with my watches, and the screen on this one is pretty much scratch free at this point. I take this in the pool and in the shower, so absolutely no issues with water exposure. The workout tracking software is actually great when it is recording correctly.

Been about a month since I've purchased this renewed version of the GW5 pro. It came almost flawless, besides a few minor scuffs on the outer bezel. With all features on, continuous monitoring, adaptive brightness, Wifi, Bluetooth, NFC, sleep, step & stress tracking on, along with frequently checking messages, weather radar, and my daily planner, I can get about 36 hours of battery life. With all those features off on power save mode, it can last roughly 60 hours. So depending on the desired use, you have a decent window to work with. I charge mine once per day, typically on my lunch break. Charge time takes about an hour to fully charge from 40%. Even faster if you shut the watch off. If you're not worried about a rotating bezel, the GW5 PRO is a fantastic smart watch. Even more so than the GW6 classic in my experience, which when fully utilized dies in about 20 hours. My GW6 classic is about 20 feet deep in my local lakeside community and honestly, I'm glad I got the GW5 pro. I couldn't deal with the constant need to charge. Also, the new One UI 6.0 and the wear OS 5.0 update that came thru a few weeks ago seemingly gave the watch a smoother look, feel and font, along with more accurate sleep and health monitoring abilities. 5🌟 All day.
