Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 5 Is a Nice Little Update

I liked the look of the Galaxy Watch 4. I thought it was simple, modern, and approachable for most people. The chassis isn’t too bulky, and the screen is vibrant and easy to navigate day or night. The Galaxy Watch 5 has essentially the same style and dimensions, save for its slightly more reinforced sapphire crystal display. Another thing to note is that the Watch 5 has an all-screen digital bezel instead of a physical one. But I hardly notice it between the two.

The watches come in 40mm and 44mm flavors, so there’s something for small and big wrists alike. The color offerings are slightly different this time, however: the 40mm comes in Graphite, Pink Gold, and Silver, while the 44mm comes in Graphite, Sapphire, and Silver. Samsung sent me the 40mm Pink Gold variant, which looks nearly identical to last year’s Pink Gold variant, except for the band, which was more khaki last year.
