The Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 series has two solid options that are currently on top of our best smartwatches list. They're both equally good, and they bring subtle changes and improvements to the already excellent smartwatches in the Galaxy Watch 4 series. The Galaxy Watch 5 Pro, in particular, is the more durable option, and it also has a slightly bigger display and battery compared to the regular one. There is a lot to like about the new smartwatches, but it's a shame that the bands included with them are just decent at best. They may not even give you a good fit if you happen to have small wrists. Thankfully, there are a ton of third-party watch bands available on the market, so you don't have to stick with the included ones.

After the tremendous success of its first-ever Wear OS watch, the Galaxy Watch 4, Samsung is back with a sequel. The new Galaxy Watch 5 is an incredibly minor update over its predecessor.
