This could be a change in Samsung’s software, or due to the change in materials. Countless times a swipe on the bezel has resulted in an unintentional interaction with the app on screen.

It jumps through the software quicker and requires more accuracy to reliably use.
Perhaps the only thing I noticed in my time was that the “rotating bezel,” aka the touch sensitive strip outside of the display itself, feels worse this year. It has the same coating that picks up fingerprints constantly – something I’d love to see Samsung address in future models – and the same basic feeling under your finger. The sapphire glass covering the display feels and looks just like a typical glass display, too. And if all goes well, it’s something you won’t technically notice. With no raised lip to cover the display and how common it is to accidentally smash your watch into something you’re walking past, this is great to see. Samsung has moved past Gorilla Glass and on to sapphire, a considerably stronger material that should ensure the watch remains basically scratch-free over its lifespan.
#WEAR OS TRACK MY GOLF APP UPGRADE#
Sapphire is the biggest upgrade you’ll hopefully never noticeīut on the hardware front, the actual biggest upgrade comes in the glass covering the display. Plus, that thickness comes for a reason, as Samsung says that it helps the health sensors make better contact with your skin, and it probably also helps make room for the larger battery – more on that later. After a couple of hours, the thickness never crossed my mind again, and comfort is easily equal to last year. Now, this isn’t to say that the Galaxy Watch 5 is too thick. The same situation is applied to the Watch 5 Pro, but in a much more exaggerated fashion on that device versus this one. Samsung says the Watch 5 is 9.8mm thick, but it’s actually closer to 13mm when measured. Just strapping on the watch it feels noticeably thicker on the wrist, because it is. This smartwatch is claimed by Samsung to be the same thickness as its predecessor, but it most certainly is not. Perhaps the only thing you might notice about the Galaxy Watch 5 that’s different from the Watch 4 is its physical size on your wrist. You shouldn’t have to trade screen size and battery life just to get the gold option, nor should you sacrifice a compact size just to get the blue. But as with last year, I wish Samsung would offer all of these colors on all models.
The 40mm model also comes in silver and gray, as well as a pink gold option that looks equally great and is more universal than the blue on the 44mm. If you plan to switch bands regularly, or already have an extensive collection, I’d probably recommend avoiding the blue colorway – it’s out of stock on Samsung’s website at the time of publishing anyway. But even so, blue isn’t the only color choice, and both the gray and silver options look excellent in person. My typical go-to brown leather band feels out of place at a glance. The sole complaint I have is that the shade is just light enough in person, especially in outdoor settings, that I worry it won’t match any band other than the blue sport band it came with. I’ve been using the Blue version of the 44mm Galaxy Watch 5, which has a light blue tint to the metal and looks excellent in person – so much so, that it’s the color I purchased myself. The only key change is that, now, there are some new color options, some of which look really nice. The Galaxy Watch 4 and Watch 5 are visually identical at a glance, from the side rails to the buttons. The Galaxy Watch 5, more than almost any product I’ve seen in recent years, is quite literally its predecessor with a fresh coat of paint from a visual perspective. Hardware | The same formula, now in new colors How can you follow up the watch that tripled platform sales in just one year? With the Galaxy Watch 5, Samsung answers that question with some relatively minor improvements. Finally, good hardware gave the platform a chance to thrive, which is only getting better now. After years of neglect, Google finally gave Wear OS a boost last year, and that arrived with the help of Samsung and the Galaxy Watch 4.
