Galaxy Watch5 Series
Precise Body Composition Measurement and Holistic Monitoring Tool for a Healthy Lifestyle
Samsung Galaxy Watch5 series offers a variety of smart monitoring functions to help users do exercise, maintain a healthy lifestyle and manage health conditions easily. The Body Composition measurement tool[1]sends microcurrents to get a detailed snapshot in just 15 seconds, with key measurements like skeletal muscle, basal metabolic rate, body water and body fat percentage, allowing accurate track of fitness progress and personalized exercise goals. Samsung’s unique BioActive Sensor runs three powerful health sensors — Optical Heart Rate, Electrical Heart and Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis to deliver extensive readings that include heart rate, blood oxygen level, and even stress level[2]. Users can monitor their hearthealth and control the right intensity by monitoring blood pressure[3] and ECG[4][5]. Galaxy Watch5 Pro provides real-time running analysis and VO2 Max readings, which help users track the effectiveness of aerobic exercise and improve exercise performance. The real-time running analysis can simultaneously monitor body asymmetry, lower body power, regularity, vertical vibration amplitude and touchdown time during exercise, guiding users to improve their posture down to every detail and reduce the chance of injury.
After an intense workout, the Galaxy Watch5 series empowers users with recovery data, including post-cardio heart rate after a strenuous workout[6], and customized recommendations on water consumption based on sweat loss[7], ensuring a proper rest and recovery. Samsung also cares about women's health. The smartwatch can help users track their menstrual cycles, providing additional insight into their physical conditions.
Quality sleep is an important part of a healthy lifestyle. The Galaxy Watch5 series features a comprehensive range of sleep monitoring[8] designed to help users improve their sleep quality and ensure a good rest. Understand sleep patterns through Sleep Scores that monitor stages of sleep, along with snore detection[9] and blood oxygen levels, which continuously measures users’ oxygen saturation and records snoring sounds. Achieve better sleep habits with advanced Sleep Coaching[10] that gives a tailored guided program of four to five weeks. Users can sleep safe and sound even when living alone, knowing that the enhanced fall detection ensures an emergency contact is notified if one suddenly faints or falls out of bed[11].
New Materials and Advanced Technology For a Worry-Free Experience
Designed to be durable, the Galaxy Watch5 series included Samsung’s first smartwatch display featuring a Sapphire Crystal display, which offers a 60% harder outer layer[12] and seconds only to diamond in terms of scratch resistance, making it the perfect material to withstand the wear and tear of everyday use. The Galaxy Watch5 and Galaxy Watch5 Pro are available in aluminium and titanium cases respectively, designed to be lightweight for sports enthusiasts. With 50m water resistance and military-grade durability, the smartwatches are equipped with built-in GPS and compass to accompany users when hiking and ensure excellent performance under extreme conditions, come rain or shine.
Developed jointly with Google™, the Galaxy Watch5 series features the new Wear OS™ Powered by Samsung, offering more watch faces options to suit users’ daily outfits and personal styles. Users can find the way using Google Maps[13] without a smartphone connection[14], play favourite songs via YouTube Music and follow trainings on Adidas Running; the watch is now even more practical with the series of services it provides. One UI Watch4.5 offers a fuller typing experience, an easier way to make calls, and a host of new accessibility features that make the Galaxy Watch more intuitive. Message notifications come with images and conversation history, allowing reply with additional smartphone connection[15].
Galaxy Watch5 Pro: A Reliable Companion for Outdoor Enthusiasts
Built strong, and built to last, Galaxy Watch5 Pro has the largest battery in a Galaxy Watch. It’s 60% larger than Galaxy Watch4, which is key to accompany users to conquer a new route. The 590mAh large battery provides up to 80 hours of battery life, and almost a full-day-long use even if having the GPS mode on[16]. Users can wear it without worrying about running out of power on a hike, especially with the fast-charging function, it can be charged up to 45% of battery in only 30 minutes.
For the first time, Samsung enables GPX function on the Galaxy Watch line-up, which helps to record the routes when users go outdoor, providing information such as altitude and upcoming routes. When hiking or cycling, users can keep their eyes on the path and away from the map with the intuitive Turn-by-turn directions[17]. When it is time to head home, Galaxy Watch5 Pro will help users with the Track back feature that takes them back from the way they came[18].
Galaxy Buds2 Pro
Brand New ANC Earbuds of Premium Design Creates Immersive Listening Experience
Samsung launches the new flagship earbuds, letting users appreciate every musical interlude with superior Hi-Fi 24bit Audio[19], which is up to 256 times of the regular 16bit audio. With the dynamic woofer and tweeter, the Galaxy Buds2 Pro delivers a rich, crystal-clear, studio-quality, and lossless music experience. When watching videos, Galaxy Buds2 Pro produces a live and immersive experience with its 360-degree Dolby Atmos sound.
Samsung makes the most of its active noise cancellation technology. For the first time, Galaxy Buds2 Pro features three high-SNR microphones that can accurately identify and eliminate up to 99% of ambient noise[20], allowing users to immerse in their own world. With the new trackable beamforming and DNN ambient recognition technology, call quality is ensured and users can answer calls anywhere, anytime without any interruptions. Voice Detect Mode can recognize whether the user is having conversations and automatically adjusts the active noise cancellation function, ambient sound, and volume of music playback to guarantee a smooth conversation without any manual adjustments, so that users can stay connected with the world.
The Galaxy Buds2 Pro is lightweight, weighing only 5.5 grams, with a 15% reduction in size[21] and a more ergonomic design. Plus, with long battery life of up to 29 hours playback time[22], it is ideal for all-day wear, allowing users to enjoy their favorite music without any disruptions. With the support of fast charging and 1-hour use time upon only 5 minutes of charging, users can stay stress-free about Galaxy Buds2 Pro running out of battery. The IPX7 waterproof resistance reduces user’s concern about the earbuds getting wet in heavy rain.
Galaxy Buds2 Pro supports multiple connections to mobile phones, tablets and TVs at the same time, eliminating the hassle of cables and enabling seamless switching. With a touch of a finger, Galaxy Buds2 Pro can seamlessly switch the audio connection to the phone to pick up calls, when gaming or watching a movie on a tablet. The Galaxy Buds2 Pro now features Auto Switch[23] on TV for the first time to provide effortless transition from watching a favorite TV show to taking a call from loved ones.
