Full disclaimer: the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro is built for those who are into adventures and extreme sports. But that doesn’t make it any less ideal for those who treat exercise as an afterthought. Besides, by getting an outdoor activities-focused watch, you may talk yourself into slowly transitioning into a more active lifestyle. No pressure though.
The Galaxy Watch 5 Pro has a gorgeous 1.4-inch Sapphire crystal screen and its 45mm case is made of titanium. These rugged materials, along with certifications that make it safe to use the watch in extreme environments, make the Watch 5 Pro a perfect companion for adventures. It will also give peace of mind to clumsy users like me as water and dirt won’t harm the watch.
The real reason you buy a watch is its fitness features and the Watch 5 Pro over delivers in the area. The watch can track your blood oxygen saturation, take electrocardiograms (ECG), calculate your body composition, and monitor sleep and stress levels.
It can track a range of activities, including walking, running, and swimming. You also get adventure-specific features such as track back, route workout, and turn-by-turn directions.
The Watch 5 Pro retails for $449 but you can only get it for $285 and save $164 through Walmart’s deal. Go for it if you need a small device that’s an extension of your smartphone and will help you achieve your health goals.
