Samsung's line of smartwatches with the Classic moniker is officially on hold. The company announced the line at the Unpacked event Galaxy Watch5 and as expected we didn't get any classic versions this year. But instead came the Pro model. But which one will be better for you?  

Samsung already new in the form of a series Galaxy Watch5 listed, but i is still on the menu Watch4 to Watch4 Classic, when the basic version in the form Watch4 will probably release after the stock is sold out. However, the Classic model should continue to feature in the offer, precisely so that Samsung can cover the needs of users who prefer functionality over materials.

Design and build quality 

The most obvious design difference between the watches Galaxy Watch5 For a Watch4 Classic consists of a rotating bezel around the display. This can control the user interface while Galaxy Watch5 Pro ditched the rotating bezel in favor of a stronger, concave and solid exit protecting the sapphire glass. But this new "frame" is more of a design choice than a functional part.

On the other hand, the device Galaxy Watch5 Pro uses better materials. It has a titanium case (similar to the more exclusive and expensive variant Watch4 Classic Titanium) and uses sapphire glass to protect the display, which is said to be 60% stronger than Gorilla Glass DX. Plus a new watch Galaxy WatchThe 5 Pro ditches the standard sport strap in favor of a new D-Buckle wrist strap that's easier to adjust. 

Hardware and features 

Galaxy Watch5 Pro bring over the model Watch4 Classic some notable hardware improvements, but the new chipset is not among them. However, this is not a problem considering that Galaxy WatchThe 5 Pro uses the same 5nm Exynos W920 chip that Samsung designed specifically for the smartwatch. The memory also remains unchanged at 1,5 GB of RAM and 16 GB of built-in storage, which should be more than enough for everyone.

The only major component that has seen a significant improvement is the battery. Galaxy Watch4 Classic hide a 361mAh battery, which is enough for about one day of use on one charge. New Samsung watch Galaxy WatchHowever, the 5 Pro boasts a huge 590mAh battery with faster 10W charging, so it should last more than three days while charging faster. 8 minutes is enough for you to track 8 hours of sleep. In terms of health features, the new Pro model brings a temperature sensor and improved sleep tracking, as well as three exclusive outdoor features with route navigation.

In conclusion, the watch Galaxy Watch5 Pro offer compared to the model Galaxy Watch4 Classic quite a lot of attractive features and improvements, so you might not even mind the absence of a bezel so much. But the price is interesting, because the Classic version has become cheaper and you can get it for 7 CZK, while the new one will cost you 490 CZK or 11 CZK with the LTE module. Which is again a question of whether to spend that much more. Let's also add that the novelty is only available in 990 mm size, while the Classic version is available in 12 and 990 mm sizes (which currently costs CZK 45).
