Test of the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5: a use galaxy to break down dry

Fortunately, an energy saving mode is offered. This is much more convincing, even if it cuts most of the interesting features. We lose the screen Always-on, follow -up of stress, heart rate and brightness drops similarly. In exchange for all this, the watch will drop from about 25 to 30 autonomy points per day without using it.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Test-is it the best Android connected watch ?

The Samsung Galaxy Watch5 is still the queen of Android connected watches in 2022 ? We give you the answer in our test.

Watches gradually imposed themselves as the essential companion for smartphones. Samsung has a long experience in the field. Its connected watches improve and improve the year after year.

There Galaxy Watch5 resumes the same design as the model of last year but it does not arrive without new products. We tell you everything you need to know about the Galaxy Watch5 in our test. (not sponsored)

Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 – A recognizable design and without false note

There is no surprise regarding his design. The Galaxy Watch5 retains the same appearance as the previous connected watch of Samsung. It is not an evil since it already benefited from splendid finishes.

The circular screen is embedded in a matt metal box with a cut at the bracelet. The whole design is chic, elegant and without false note. Unlike numerous connected watches, the Galaxy Watch5 adapts perfectly to the menus wrists.

The connected watch is light and very pleasant to wear. With only 28.7g, we would almost forget that we wear it. It comes with a soft silicone bracelet and easy to close. He got rid of the usual passers -by to block the end of the bracelet. It’s much more comfortable.

Regarding its use, its OLED screen offers good visibility in a high level of brightness of 1000 nits. You will have no trouble using the Galaxy Watch5 outdoors and in full sun.

Among the other good points, we will mention the presence of a speaker and a microphone. Thanks to them it becomes useless to take your smartphone out of your pocket. They allow messages to be dictated or responding directly to calls from your watch.

An interface under wearos ultra-complete

Samsung stop making a rider alone. The Galaxy Watch5 abandons Tizen to go under a hybrid bone developed with Google. Wearos 3 gives it access to all the applications of the Google Play Store.

You are spoiled for choice. YouTube Music, Golf App, Vocal Record, Spotify, Shazam, Google Wallet, etc. Other essential apps are already pre-installed such as Google Maps or Microsoft Outlook.

The interface is complete and very pleasant to use. It is full of functions, maybe even a little too much. By pressing or slid down, right or left, new options are made. We are never caught off guard.

Many shortcuts are planned to launch different apps such as sports exercises, calculating the number of steps, the oxygen level in the blood, the calories consumed, a headphones controller, etc.

To make navigation in the interface even simpler, especially with the 40 mm dial, Samsung has retained its virtual rotary ring system on the edge of the screen. It facilitates the use of the watch especially when you have big fingers.

As usual, the Galaxy Watch5 works together with Samsung Galaxy Wear, Samsung Health and Samsung Health Monitor for the most advanced health functions.

A connected watch to take care of your health

There Galaxy Watch5 carry a large number of sensors to help you monitor your health and your sports activities.

It includes in particular an analysis sensor of the bioelectric impedance. It will make you discover the interior beauty of your body by measuring your fatty mass or your skeletal mass. We must admit that the measure is complicated to perform. We had to get back to ten times before getting a result.

The ECG is less recalcitrant. It calculates your sinus rhythm and detects a possible sign of atrial fibrillation. Just put your finger on the button on the top of the watch for 30 seconds without moving to take a measurement. The watch gives the alert in the event of an anomaly.

To take advantage of the ECG and the tension you will need to install an additional app from the Galaxy Store. They only work with the Samsung Health Monitor application.

The tension sensor is relatively precise we did the test at a doctor. Before you start, you have to take its tension 3 times at the arm and enter the data into the watch as a comparison. Watch5 must be positioned high enough on the forearm. It then calculates your tension in 30 seconds. The data is comparable to those of the doctor.

Please note, Samsung permanently warns you. Its watch does not replace medical advice. If in doubt, the company recommends you to consult.

Finally, the Galaxy Watch5 also has functions to count your heart beats, manage your stress level or even analyze the quality of your sleep.

Sports functions

If the Galaxy Watch5 does not really have the look of a sports watch, it nevertheless masters the subject perfectly.

The watch recognizes 90 sports activities. Hiking, bodybuilding, martial arts, rowing, ballet, bowling, deltaplane, climbing, slits, golf, pilate, diving, rollerblading, there is necessarily one that will suit you.

Certain practices do not even need to trigger the start of a working session. The watch automatically detects simple activities such as walking, running, bicycle or swimming. Of course, the Galaxy Watch 5 calculates all your constants during the effort and records them in a history to follow your progress.

A GPS accompanies you on your movements and dispens you to take your smartphone during your running sessions or hikes. Thanks to him you will never get lost.

To confirm its independence, the Galaxy Watch5 also incorporates a speaker and a microphone to dictate messages or answer a call from the watch while lifting cast iron.

Another proof that the Galaxy Watch5 may be the best friend of the athletes. It is certified IP68. You will not have to remove it for fear of a surplus of sweating or to pass in the shower.

Autonomy

The watch recharges with the magnetic dock provided in the box. He is not accompanied by a block taken. It will therefore be necessary to remember to recover one with a USB-C connector or leave a USB-C free port on your computer. You also have the option of using the reverse recharging of your smartphone if it is compatible as the Galaxy S22 Ultra.

With its 10W charging block, the watch recovers 100% battery in 73 minutes and 45% load in 30 minutes. On paper the battery offers the watch an autonomy of 50 hours.

In fact, she resists two days with a daily sports session and classic use. If you push it a little further with the activated GPS, tensioning and ECG, it will not exceed the day.

Also forget the Always On Display mode which melts the battery.

What we think

The Samsung Galaxy Watch5 is an elegant and refined connected watch that suits all styles. He really lacks little thing to be perfect.

Health, sport, it is ultra-complete and its passage under Wearos tenfold its possibilities. Its interface is also simple and instinctive to use.

The only reproach that could be made concerns its limited autonomy when pushing it in its entrenchments.

In the end, we can say that the Samsung Galaxy Watch5 improves and improves over time taking advantage of the experience of Samsung acquired over the years. This is one of the best Android connected watch in 2022 !
The Galaxy Watch5 is sold from € 279 with dials of different colors marrying the bracelets.

Our full opinion
Samsung Galaxy Watch 5

September 16, 2022 09/16/2022 • 15:41

For 2022, Samsung has simplified its range of connected watches with a pro model dedicated to sport and a simpler, but also cheaper model, the Galaxy Watch 5 here present. We have already tested the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro. We will focus here on the main differences to note: autonomy and design. Small bonus, we were also able to test the watch with a Samsung Galaxy smartphone to see what the Seoul firm brings to its ecosystem. Let’s Go.

This test was carried out with a watch loaned by Samsung.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Design

On the design, the watch we test is the smallest 40 mm version. There is also a 44 mm diameter model. First observation: the Galaxy Watch 5 looks a line for its predecessor, the Galaxy Watch 4. We keep the double horn system which runs along the circle of the case and comes to fix it to the bracelet.

The latter was slightly improved for the occasion. Still silicone, it has a Ardillon loop clasp. Concretely, once past the clasp, you can wedge the tip of the bracelet by passing it in a hole provided for this purpose. A very effective system.

On the rest, the Galaxy Watch 5 is still as pleasant to wear. It is a light watch that is easily forgotten on the wrist. There is no design fault to report, the heart sensor is well hidden at night and therefore does not bother to sleep. Let us add that the Galaxy Watch 5 has an IP68 certification which saves it from being removed from each shower or swimming (in a swimming pool).

Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Autonomy

The biggest difference with the pro model will obviously be played on autonomy, since the Galaxy Watch 5 only has 284 mAh. An accumulator that seems a little riquiqui next to the Galaxy Watch 5 44 mm with its 410 mAh and the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro which displays 590 mAh.

To summarize briefly, on the model we have tested, we will have to count a little more than a day of autonomy, no more. As soon as you ask him for a little more strong uses, such as running with the integrated GPS or by activating the screen Always-on, We quickly come to a round day.

For example, one day off, I unplugged the watch at noon when it was 100 %. In order to push it a little in its entrenchments, I decided to use it a bit like a mini-scartphone, which is still a little the idea behind these smart watches. So I downloaded a hundred titles on Spotify, then activate the permanent monitoring of cardiac activity and the screen Always-on. I also made 15 minutes of physical activity with the GPS on and the music on the watch. I also listened to music for 45 minutes off the race. Verdict: at 9:53 p.m., I had 6 % autonomy left. Clearly, in less than 10 hours of intense use, the watch had no longer had a lot of minutes before it before turning completely.

Fortunately, an energy saving mode is offered. This is much more convincing, even if it cuts most of the interesting features. We lose the screen Always-on, follow -up of stress, heart rate and brightness drops similarly. In exchange for all this, the watch will drop from about 25 to 30 autonomy points per day without using it.

Recharge

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 is sold with a owner cable that recharges the watch by induction. It is also compatible with Qi and it is also possible to load the watch using a recent Galaxy smartphone via Induction load.. Connected to a Samsung charger in 25W, I obtained a load in just under an hour. We are thus far from a fast load, which is all the more unfortunate when we have to refuel once a day.

In detail, here are the percentages obtained on the Galaxy Watch 5 starting from 0 %:

• 18 % after 10 minutes;
• 36 % after 20 minutes;
• 58 % after 30 minutes;
• 74 % after 40 minutes;
• 90 % after 50 minutes.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 health features

Regarding the health and sports activity aspect, the Galaxy Watch 5 fully takes up the pro technical sheet by integrating an accelerometer, a gyroscope, a barometer, a geomagnetic sensor for the compass, a sensor of the impedance of the impedance of the impedance bioelectric, for the fat mass rate, an electrocardiogram, a blood pressure monitor and a cardiofrequency meter. All this allows you to measure your number of steps and your heart rate, but also to guide you, to display your fat mass rate, to make an electrocardiogram, to measure your tension or to measure your oxygen saturation in the blood.

Heart frequency monitoring

The Samsung watch is more focused on the general public than its pro colleague. Nevertheless, who says connected watch says big focus on health. Here is what the Monitoring of cardiac activity On a racing sequence as a rise then descent while walking (in red) comparing with a heart belt referring in the matter, the Garmin HRM-Pro (in blue).

We note that the watch has a time of “heating” relatively long of about 5 minutes before stalling on a value closer to the belt. The bracelet also displays a certain latency before adapting in the changes of heart rate, nothing scandalous for a watch not focused, however. However, the values ​​remain close to what the belt affects, by displaying an average of two beats lower and struggling to reach the real max level.

Heart belt	Galaxy Watch 5	Delta
Average	165	163	-2
Max	191	188	-3

GPS monitoring

The GPS monitoring of the watch has a high quality: it does not take shortened and seems to refresh the GPS point very regularly. On the other hand, it is clearly lacking in precision when it comes to determining the exact place where we are located. Rather judge on this card which compares in orange a smartphone GPS (far from being perfect, but better) and that of the watch.

The features reserved for Samsung smartphones

Unfortunately, Samsung reserves certain more advanced health features for its recent Galaxy smartphones users (under one UI 4.1.1).

These go through the Samsung Health Monitor application, available on the Galaxy Store. The easiest to use is an electrocardiogram. Its objective is to finely analyze your heart rate and determine whether or not you have atrial fibrillation. The application is rather clear and without detours and explains the results obtained well, while advising in case of doubt to consult a doctor. You can also share the results in PDF very easily.

For blood pressure, it’s a little more complicated, since you will first have to calibrate the watch with the help of a blood pressure monitor.

Be careful if you live in the DOM-TOM, many users of Martinique, Reunion or Guadeloupe complain about the Health Monitor application, indicating that it does not want to embark on their geographic area. Note also that the application forces you to use a mobile connection and refuses to launch in case of connection to Wi-Fi.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 for the rest ..

For the rest of this test, I’m going to send you back to the Galaxy Watch 5 PRO test carried out by my colleague Geoffroy, because everything that will be addressed in more detail. Indeed, the watches completely share the following points: they both run under Wear OS 3 with the advantage of being able to install many applications, they can both make calls, connect to Bluetooth 5.2, Wi-Fi 4 and share a very similar screen (apart from its size).

In a few words, Wear OS 3 is a real pleasure to manipulate. It is not uncommon for one to question the possibility of performing an action and that we find a few seconds later, surprised, that this feature is indeed understood.

Navigation in the Play Store inside the watch even allows you to move away a little more from the smartphone medium to really dive into your watch. I even tested the experience of running just with my watch, some music downloaded on YouTube Music and Buds. You can respond to texts by typing your text, you can answer calls, in short, the Galaxy Watch 5 is a resolutely versatile watch. Many dials, oscillating very graphic to that full of health information, come to crown this very good impression.

On the other hand, we can frankly regret two elements: the disastrous autonomy which ruins certain basic features, such as the monitoring of sleep, or the download of music, as it draws on the battery. And as the main competitor at the Apple Watch, we would still expect greater fluidity. However, the watch often accumulates too long loading times and important lags. Nothing that makes it unusable, but the user experience loses a few points.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Price and release date

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 is available at a price of 299 euros for the 40 mm version and 329 euros for the 44 mm version. The same versions with LTE cost 349 and 379 euros respectively.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 test: an interesting evolution, but too shy

First watch to operate with the Google Wear OS 3 system.5, the Galaxy Watch 5 emphasizes its health functions and improved autonomy. Improvements that must convince to make an unchanged design watch attractive.

Presentation

A year after its Galaxy Watch 4 which inaugurated the Google Wear OS operating system, Samsung puts the cover back with its fifth generation of watches, this time hosted by a Wear OS 3.5 of which they have the primeur.

Available in 40 mm and 44 mm formats, the Galaxy Watch 5 does not arrive alone, since a professional version more imposing (45 mm), with a larger battery and sports oriented the proposal of the Korean manufacturer. However, the “Classic” version disappears, at least at first.

The call price for the Galaxy Watch 5 is € 299 for the 40 mm Bluetooth version. The 44 mm Bluetooth version is offered at € 329. You must add 50 € to these prices to acquire 4G variations in Esim Integrated.

Ergonomics and design

While the Galaxy Watch 4 evolved the design of its elder the Galaxy Watch Active 2, this is not the case with the Galaxy Watch 5 which is content to get broken bracelets with new colors. We will not complain about it especially, since the features of the Samsung watch always seem in tune times.

The glossy black polymer housing is therefore always associated with a fine anodized aluminum telescope. This is extended by horns on which the ends of a fluoroelastomeric bracelet are attached.

Very light, the watch only displayed 49.5 g on our scale and is forgotten on the wrist.

Not that fine

The Galaxy Watch 5 also plays the card of finesse, but cheat a little on this point according to our checks, because if it is announced at only 9.8 mm, it is clear that its curved case was excluded of measurement and still exceeds a little when we wear the watch on the wrist – unless you tighten it excessively.

News: Connected watch
LAB – The Galaxy Watch 5 and 5 Pro Watches much thicker than announced by Samsung

On our wrist for a few days, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro connected watch already reveals a big surprise. In the sense of.

A beautiful screen that could have been bigger

If the design does not change, we would still have appreciated that Samsung makes an effort on the size of the screen and the reduction of the edges of its watch. Unfortunately must be satisfied with the same diagonal of 1.2 “and therefore of fairly wide black borders. Admittedly, these merge with the very deep black of the Amoled screen, but other manufacturers like Apple or even Xiaomi are working to reduce the borders of their watches to give pride of place to the display without having to Increase the width of their boxes.

We nevertheless appreciate the good quality of display of the AMOLED screen of the Galaxy Watch 5. Bright, it remains readable in full sun and always takes advantage of a light sensor so as not to have to worry about manually changing the latter according to the light conditions. This screen is now protected by a sapphire glass that Samsung announces as 1.6 times more scratch resistant than the glass of the Galaxy Watch 4.

A permanent display mode (Always-on) is also offered, to keep the time display continuously in particular. Its brightness is however reduced to preserve the battery and, necessarily, the readability in direct sunlight.

Thanks to its micro and speaker torque, the Galaxy Watch 5 can always manage telephone calls via its Bluetooth link with the smartphone. Our interlocutor generally understands us quite distinctly, although we need to use Bluetooth headphones and bring the watch closer to our mouths in noisy environments. The sound issued by the speaker in a quieter environment is not exceptional, but it has the merit of not saturating too much if we avoid adjusting the volume to the maximum.

Interface

The Galaxy Watch 5 introduces version 3.5 from Google Wear OS, with a Samsung Oneui 4 overlay.5. On the program, improvements in the entry of messages with an option of scan on the Azerty keyboard and the possibility of changing the entry method at any time to choose for example the vocal dictation or the drawing of handwritten letters. What to find happiness to respond quickly to a message, with also help in completion as on smartphone.

Furthermore, the watch now manages double -simtphones with double sim and adds accessibility options as well as dial customization options with the possibility of saving them in favorites.

A fluid and well thought out system

Discreet new features therefore, which perfect an already very pleasant system to use and perfectly fluid with the hardware chosen by Samsung (same chip Exynos W920 as on the Galaxy Watch 4 and always 1.5 GB of RAM). As an Android, we find the shortcut shutter down from the top of the screen by simple finger sliding down, while the applications installed on the watch appear from the bottom by an opposite movement.

A horizontal scan to the right of the screen triggers the display of notifications. To the left, it allows you to scroll through widgets – called “cards” by Samsung. Inheritance of the previous galaxy Watch with rotary bezel (Galaxy Watch 4 Classic and previous versions), the scrolling of widgets can also be done faster via a virtual telescope, dragging your finger on the edge of the screen. However, the gesture turns out to be less precise and less natural than with a real physical telescope.

The Galaxy Watch 5 nevertheless keeps two physical buttons on its right edge. The upper one serves to return to the main dial at any time or to call the voice assistant (Bixby by default or Google Assistant) if it is stressed. A double support on this button makes it possible to return to the last open application, but we can associate this action by opening an application of our choice (to start an activity, for example).

Application

The Galaxy Watch 5 only works with an Android smartphone. The watch must first be configured with the Galaxy Wearable application which also allows you to download new dials and reorganize widgets/cards, shortcuts and applications.

Cheers

To view activities and health data, a second application is however necessary. Named Samsung Health, it consists of several tabs, such as a good number of competing applications. The home page displays several data tiles that can be reorganized as we see fit. By default, we visualize daily activity (number of steps, duration of activity and calories spent), the duration of the sleep as well as the latest health data obtained via the watch (heart rate, stress level, oxygen rate in the blood. )).

We can also launch a sporting activity from the application and view the history of activities and then access their detailed data. Samsung Health also offers to indicate the foods and drinks that we have consumed, in order to help us maintain a reasonable caloric level.

The second application tab, named “Sharing”, brings together community functions. We can notably participate in challenges with our friends, which consist in making a certain number of steps; a little summary to our taste. We would have preferred to see more sporting challenges and a more pronounced social aspect, with why not interactions with popular social networks.

Various training programs, but no real sports coach

To train, the third “fitness” tab offers various activities to gain flexibility, endurance, muscles or losing weight, for example. We obtain for each training a program generally spread over several weeks. Practical to be guided, although in our opinion that we are missing a real coach which makes the link between physical activity and health parameters. In general, this lacks the link between the different data, the application not taking into account the quality of our sleep or the level of intensity of the activities to determine our state of form and thus propose an adapted program. Sports watches generally go further at this level, especially with Polar and Garmin.

ECG and blood pressure reserved for Samsung Galaxy smartphones

As if we did not have enough of two applications, Samsung offers a 3rd in his Galaxy Store: Samsung Health Monitor. Only compatible with Samsung Galaxy smartphones, it is dedicated to the realization of electrocardiograms and blood pressure measures. We would have preferred that it be integrated into Samsung Health and open to all Android smartphones, this Apple software bridle that does not really make sense in the middle of an open Android ecosystem. It makes you lose interest in the Galaxy Watch 5 which only delivers its full capacities.

Uses and precision

A temperature sensor that acts for presence

In addition to its usual sensors (accelerometer, barometer, gyroscope, compass) and a set of bioactive sensors dedicated to cardiac frequency measures, SPO2, ECG and bioelectric impedance, the Galaxy Watch 5 is equipped with a infrared sensor skin temperature. An addition that is not used for the moment to shine on the technical sheet, because Samsung does not yet use it, leaving the developers to find a use. Its use seems to us to say the least uncertain, since the skin temperature is known for its irregularity, in particular at the wrist, quickly changing depending on the external conditions, the wearing of clothes with long or non -sleeves. Samsung does not even provide the raw data of this sensor in its application or even widget on its watch.

Measures for health prevention and monitoring

In the health component, the possibility of making electrocardiograms can reassure users subject to cardiac weaknesses or fearing their appearance due to family history, for example. A measure that does not replace a medical consultation, however, let us remember, but it can serve as the first alert signal. The same goes for the blood pressure measurement, the watch, however, to be calibrated at least once a month with a medical blood pressure monitor. In the absence of suitable equipment, we cannot assess the accuracy of the data obtained for the moment.

More interesting on a daily basis, the measurement of the impedance provides an estimate of the bone, fat, muscle and water masses. Practice to follow up on our body composition and check in passing if our sports activities bear fruit.

A fairly precise heart rate measure, but not always

Galaxy Watch 4 Achilles heel, the heart rate measure has visibly been improved. The Galaxy Watch 5 follows rapid frequency variations much better during exercises at irregular rhythm like the split race, which can be observed on the curves below.

However, it reaches its limits when the wrist is subject to pronounced movements or vibrations, during an exterior cycling activity, for example (image below).

It should be noted, however, that the bioactive sensor has probably not changed, it is likely that the improvements that we have found during the test of this Galaxy Watch 5 will be verifiable on the Galaxy Watch 4, because it has benefited from updates since its release a year ago. Not being able to recover the latter in time, we could not carry out new measures.

Acceptable GPS follow -up

On the geolocation side, the GPS chip offers good precision. We observe some cut turns, but the watch follows the real tracks overall. She encounters more difficulties when trees or buildings block the signal, for lack of a double frequency band, but is doing with the honors despite everything.

Perfectible sleep monitoring

Highlighted by Samsung, the sleep tracking of the Galaxy Watch 5 is halftone. The watch generally detects the waking phases, even short (when you move simply to turn, for example), as well as the deep sleep phases which, despite perfectible correspondence compared to those noted by our DREEM reference banner 2, are found during appropriate periods. The calculation of the duration of the sleep is thus relevant.

The distinction between light sleep and paradoxical sleep poses more problems with the Galaxy Watch 5, without the results are catastrophic. We will simply avoid it too long.

Autonomy

Main weak point of watches under Wear OS, in the same way as those under Watchos (Apple Watch), autonomy remains a problem with the Galaxy Watch 5. In particular for this 40 mm version which must be satisfied with a modest battery of 284 mAh. It’s always better than the 247 mAh of the Galaxy Watch 4, but Samsung does not get too wet and continues to announce up to 40 hours of autonomy on the technical sheet of his new watch, the same duration as that of his elder.

Unsurprisingly, our essays bear witness to an autonomy that always struggles to reach two days. In fact, the Galaxy Watch 5 even struggles to reach 36 h of operation if we indulge in physical activities operating the GPS and that we start to multiply the sending of messages and taking phone calls. Anyway, there is no exception to a daily recharge to keep a certain peace of mind and take advantage of the sleep tracking that the watch offers.

A fast load nevertheless allows to regain 45 % battery in 30 minutes, so as to end the day or start a good night. Count 1 h 14 min for a full load.
