<![CDATA[Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 vs Watch 5 Pro: Which should you buy?]]> In 2022, Samsung lifted the lid on the Galaxy Watch 5 and Watch 5 Pro, launching them alongside the Galaxy Z Flip 4 and Galaxy Z Fold 4. The Galaxy Watch 5 replaced Galaxy Watch 4, while the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro was a new model altogether focusing on outdoor sports and battery life. Now that they've been replaced by the newer Galaxy Watch 6 models, the Watch 5 series - comprised of the Galaxy Watch 5 and Watch 5 Pro - makes a lot of sense. They're older now, so they're cheaper, and still offer a great experience for the money.
