Galaxy Watch5 Pro

GW5 Pro - best battery life for Galaxy watch

I think gw5 pro is a of the battery for the galaxy watch. Traded in for gw7 ultra and similar battery performance as the gw5. Just got me Fenix 8 51 mm.. not much of an athlete, but used mostly for notifications, steps, HR and sleep tracking. I have charged it fully for 14 days ago, and the battery life is at 68%... It's not bragging or comparing, but I used to charge Samsung every 3rd day before the shower.

Bro, why did you upgrade from 7? I have the Watch 5 Pro, and I don't think I need an upgrade. You said that there are small changes; I think those don't matter too much.

Yes! I had the Galaxy 5pro for 2 years and was training for a half and was looking for a better fitness watch. I did switch to Garmin 4runner, which was awesome for that purpose but hated it as a smartwatch. When the Ultra came out I sold the Garmin and upgraded to that hoping it would be better. It really was more the same for fitness as the pro, but heavier and chunkier on my wrist and I think sleep was even worse somehow. Finally I sold the Ultra and moved to the pixel 3, been with it for 3 months now about and love it. Not as good as the Garmin with all the stats and metrics they throw at you but tracking has been great and I really like Fitbit way more then Samsung Health. My big issues with Samsung Health is what ever algorithms and their new AI they are using is off like almost on everything but I really noticed it on sleep but it's everywhere. I don't know if it's because of the watch sensors or with it or anything to do with it but man most the time its funky. Also, I know this is subjective, the UI on the pixels is way better, I feel like oneUI is dated and needs an update. I left before the last update so not sure if it got better though but going to pixel watch I think it's better looking. Again subjective. The pixel has been great so far not sure I will upgrade to the 4 until reviews come in as it doesn't seem the 3-4 will be a major upgrade yet but if your going to switch I would wait for the 4 to get the latest. unless price is a factor might score a deal on a 3.

Well you have a pixel 8a there are some benifits like were mentioned by getting the pixel like payments and even more. Like synced alarms, do not disturb, calendar, reminders, tasks and such. Some of that works with a Samsung watch just not fully well. Your not into fitness but what about over all health? Maybe try out sleep tracking and stress? Cycle tracking (assuming Female that is) It's fun to watch your metrics and just see what your body is doing. Food tracking, step tracking just for fun. Also what about LTE so you can use the watch if your phone dies, lost, or stolen and can still make calls get texts in emergency's. All of that can be done in most of the big name watches but if you want the smart features you want to probably stick with Samsung and Pixel watches. I have used a Samsung watch (Pro 5 then Ultra 7) for the last 3.5 years, long before that I was Fitbit fan and jumped to Pixel 1 when it was release before going to Samsung. Recently tried Garmin Venue 3 (NOT a smartwatch) right back to Pixel watch 3. I really enjoy and like my Pixel 3 it syncs and works perfect with my Pixel 9 when the phone goes into DnD the watch does. When I set an alarm on ether one it sets it on the other. When your using your phone and text comes in it will not buzz your watch. It's little things like that you can set up.

Well, like the 5 Pro, the Ultra has a bigger battery and will last you up to \~3 days, whereas the 8 Classic has a smaller battery, which will probably last you \~1,5 - 2 days. Also, the 8 Classic has a significantly smaller screen than the Ultra, and even its biggest version (44mm) is 1mm smaller than the 5 Pro, which is 45mm. Two days ago, I was in the same situation you are right now. I absolutely loved my 5 Pro and wanted something similar in terms of (battery) performance and I wanted something that felt as robust as the 5 Pro, and after careful consideration I could only go for the Galaxy Watch Ultra. I've been very happy with it - it looks absolutely stunning.

Galaxy Watch 5 Pro. If you can find a new one.

I'm new to PW and I have a 3 and I haven't had any issues except for changing notification sounds and accessing photos on my PW3. I have a Samsung watch5 Pro which I can do all those little features. I'm still on the fence with the PW3

Second. I use the same setup.
