• Design

From the Gen 5 to the Pro 4G and the Galaxy watch – each of these three has got a sophisticated aesthetics that define a true premium smartwatch. No doubt these are some of the best smartwatches with outstanding designs.

These three are classic smartwatches bearing the appearance of a traditional watch, even though the Pro 4G and Galaxy Watch will be more befitting wears for sports activities.

Gen 5 has a more moderately sized case than the Pro 4G and the Galaxy watch (except 42mm) which makes it a better fit for slimmer individuals. The 12mm thick Gen 5 is also slimmer than both the Pro 4G and Galaxy watch which off course makes it more attractive on your wrist.

Although, the Pro 4G with a wider display allows you to see more at a glance, and with aluminum back, it weighs less than both the Gen 5 and Galaxy watch which makes it more comfortable to wear all day long.

The Galaxy Watch has a very remarkable design too, especially with the innovative rotating bezel that makes navigating the small display very easy.


• Cellular Connectivity


The Gen 5 lacks cellular connectivity which is present on both the Pro 4G and Galaxy watch. As a result the later two are standalone smartwatches that allow you initiate and receive calls on these devices.

Although, Gen 5 with loudspeaker allows you to make and answer calls directly from the device via Bluetooth calling (now supported on both Android and iOS devices).

The cellular connectivity feature of the Pro 4G is limited since it works with only Verizon.


• Storage


With the Gen 5, you get 8GB storage capacity which is twice what you get on the Pro 4G and Galaxy watch. This means you can take more music with you, and as well access more of your favorite apps.


• Fitness Tracking


As per fitness tracking, these three are well equipped with heart rate sensor, accelerometer, gyroscope and inbuilt GPS to track your active life. Each of these three will track your heart rate, calories, steps, as well great choices for tracking outdoor activities like routes, location, and distance. Thanks to the inbuilt GPS.

However, the Galaxy Watch is a more comprehensive activity tracker featuring about 39 sport modes and is able to auto-detect and track about 6 of those. That’s more activities than you’ll find on neither the Pro 4G nor the Gen 5.


• Water Resistance


All three smartwatches are water resistant and swim-proof. However, while the Gen 5 is rated 3ATM, the Pro 4G is rated IP68 and the Galaxy watch 5ATM.

This means 30 meters, 1.5 meters, and 50 meters water resistance respectively. Thus making the Galaxy watch the best choice for deepwater activities while not forgetting its ability to track your swimming activities.


• Battery Life

Although, the Ticwatch Pro 4G powered by the Snapdragon 2100 chip managed to feature dual display modes including the essential mode which elongates it’s battery life to almost a month which is quite impressive.

The Gen 5 though, powered by the newer and more advanced 3100 chip features four battery saver modes that’ll see you go a week or more with the time-only mode activated.

However, the essential mode of the Pro 4G and time-only mode of the Gen 5 will see all Wear OS features deactivated (quite boring).
On a more general smart mode (all features active), the Galaxy Watch will last just about 2-4days compared to the Pro 4G’s 2 days or more. Both of which are longer than the Gen 5 over a day battery life.
