In both cases, this is a significant improvement over last year's models, which will give the user a few extra hours a day. Galaxy Watch 5 Pro, on the other hand, has a battery with a capacity of 590 mAh, which is an absolute gem in terms of battery life. Samsung estimates a battery life of around 80 hours, and we can more or less confirm this value. Three days straight is not too much of a problem.

Aside from the battery, the only other differentiating factor is the physical design. Galaxy WatchThe 5 Pro are slightly thicker and have a titanium case designed to withstand even the hardest impacts. Galaxy Watch5 in size are housed in an "Armor Aluminum" case which will protect them but is not nearly as durable as titanium. Samsung also used sapphire, which is present throughout the range, although it should be set a notch higher on the Pro model. But aside from the battery sizes and to some extent the physical appearance, these watches are essentially the same.
