Why the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro is a better buy than the Watch 6
The Galaxy Watch 6 (review) is considerably a refinement rather than a complete upgrade from its Galaxy Watch predecessor. Hence, buying the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro (review) would be a logical choice, for many good reasons.
First off, the Watch 5 Pro does offer longer battery life than the Galaxy Watch 6 or Galaxy Watch 6 Classic, lasting a couple of days in smartwatch mode and about a week longer with the battery-saver mode enabled. Plus, charging ratings on both are similar with wireless charging support at 10 watts. You can also read the top Galaxy Watch battery life tips here.
Besides the rotating bezel, the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro looks to be identical to the Galaxy Watch 6 (Classic) as well. Even so, both get the same rugged and military-graded build, but the former is made of a more premium titanium frame compared to the stainless steel on the latter.
There is also no massive difference in terms of performance despite the Galaxy Watch 6 being equipped with a newer processor. The Galaxy Watch 5 Pro remains a solid performer and works fluidly and as fast as its pricier counterpart. While in tracking, the features are unchanged too, with blood pressure level, ECG, and skin temperature reading, among others.
