I have the G5 LTE and work 12-18hr shifts. I stopped wearing my g5 and went back to my Fitbit because of the battery life 😒. I didn't get it connected (cell service) because of the battery. Thank you for review. ❤
I must not use my GW5 nearly as much as everyone else, lol. I usually end up charging daily just because I don't like wearing it to bed, but even after 10 hour work days and wearing it all evening, I always have at least 80% battery remaining. I'm sure those who frequently text or call on it can affect it drastically. Thanks for the review - think I'll stick with mine for now! They do offer a $200 trade-in on the Samsung website if you turn in the 5.
Having a Fitbit Sense, I’ve been thinking of changing over to a Samsung Galaxy watch. Although I like the added features of the Galaxies, the battery life & waterproof level areturning out to be deal breakers. My Fitbit has ~7 day battery life and is more capable waterproof wise. Abby, your reviews are great!
I preordered the 6 while having the 5 already I actually have every Galaxy Watch I preorder every year I got the classic version every year until the 5 because of no bezel I fell in love with the regular version
Just because of the bezel size, the whole look of the watch changes drastically (at least for me). Though they are almost the same from the user-friendliness perspective, Watch 5 looks too outdated due to its huge bezel, and more so if you use any watch faces other than with a dark-background one. Then again, I wish Watch 6 40mm also came in gray (the gray in watch 5). A very nice and detailed review. Thank you, Abby!
I'm getting the Samsung watch 5 it is $259 cheaper for me where I live at the moment so I'll be getting the silver with purple band I cant wait I really miss my apple watch since switching to Samsung last year.
Hi. I need your opinion. Now that 2 series is on sale. Watch 5 44mm black AUD247$, and Watch 6 44mm silver AUD375$. Witch one is worth it if compare the spec and the price? Thanks.
Hello, i have not tried the 44mm only the 40mm here as the other is too big for my wrist, so I can't comment on that. But I did mention if i think the 40mm Galaxy watch 6 is worth the upgrade over the 5 in the video!
Hi Abby. 😊. Love watching your videos. I have Galaxy Watch Active 2, Galaxy Watch 4, 5 and 6 in the 44mm version. I love them all ❤. What I noticed is that sometimes the watch 4,5 and 6 are not tracking your heart rate during a workout. It's very inconsistent. Also the readings are trash. Many TH-camr talk about it. It's frustrating that Samsung can't fix it. Overall beautiful watches with a 2 day battery life. Not bad. I love doing phone calls over the watch. I don't use the watches for sleep tracking. Have a wonderful day 😊 ❤. It's beautiful sunny and super warm here in Germany 🌞. Greetings Jonathan
Thanks for sharing Jonathan! I haven't had that issue personally when doing a workout, but I've definitely heard some others complain about that, it may be a quality control thing, and Samsung should fix it. And it's great to have you watching from Germany 🇩🇪 😊
Hi im looking at getting the 6 gold but have read alot of people say its silver your video definitely shows a difference in the colours from silver watch 5 and the watch 6 would you agree or is it the lighting?
Hello, I'd say the colours that appear on screen are very true to life, in my opinion. And the gold is not a traditional yellow gold. it's Samsung's version of the colour. Yes, i agree a difference can be seen from their silver, as can be seen in the video.
Have a 5 pro and a number one. Number one finally has only one battery day. Another 5 pro or 6 is of interest. Understand the 6 might get FDA approval for blood pressure. My pressure gets very low.
I got my galaxy 5 from Amazon for $170 Tomorrow I'm getting the galaxy 6 free with Google fi plan only paying $14 a month I think I like the 6 better since the display is a little bigger I have big hands so a bigger screen will work for me
I have the GW6 LTE version and i can get minimum a day and a half sometimes 2 days of use, i have the sensors on continuously with alarms etc.. it's strange to hear only 17hrs
Yeah the larger version has considerably more battery life. I have a small wrist so I always go for the smaller version, it's definitely a downside they have less battery life. And thank you!😊
I immediately put the watch band from my watch 5 on not because i dislike the new watcy band system but because i read that it falls off easily and im a waitress so its a nogo

Hi abby, Other than upgrading, which one would you recommend for first-time buyers?
Hi, I'd recommend whichever one you could get for a better price as the user experience and designs are so similar.
@@AbbyBReviewing thank you so much!
Have the watch 5 and I'm probably gonna return it and try the watch 6 in the future. The watch 5 is slow and the battery life is bad.
Thanks for the video this was helpful :)
Glad it was helpful! And Thanks for sharing :)
I might just get the Galaxy Watch 5 tonight lol

how is the heart rate reading in Galaxy watch active 2?

@AbbyBReviewing thanks so much for your reply 😊
Are you able to swap in a S/M strap to a 44mm GW6 ?
@blazeff286 hi no you cant the Galaxy Watch 6 band is too big to fit these
@AbbyBReviewing thanks for the information
With the trade in I got from my Galaxy watch 5 I think it’s worth it. Making the 6 only $100.
I did the exact same thing.
Have a 5 pro and a number one. Number one finally has only one battery day. Another 5 pro or 6 is of interest. Understand the 6 might get FDA approval for blood pressure. My pressure gets very low.
I'm coming from the original Galaxy Watch. Which one should I choose?
Hi I'd get whichever one you could find for a better peoce to be honest. As i mentioned, that provide a very sinialr experience, in my opinion
I got my galaxy 5 from Amazon for $170
Tomorrow I'm getting the galaxy 6 free with Google fi plan only paying $14 a month I think I like the 6 better since the display is a little bigger I have big hands so a bigger screen will work for me
Nice I hope you enjoy the 6 :)
I have the GW6 LTE version and i can get minimum a day and a half sometimes 2 days of use, i have the sensors on continuously with alarms etc.. it's strange to hear only 17hrs
Oh interesting do you have the larger version of the GW6? And thanks for sharing!
@@AbbyBReviewing yes I have the larger version but I wouldn't have thought the difference in battery life would be this big🤔... Amazing video btw!!
Yeah the larger version has considerably more battery life. I have a small wrist so I always go for the smaller version, it's definitely a downside they have less battery life. And thank you!😊
I immediately put the watch band from my watch 5 on not because i dislike the new watcy band system but because i read that it falls off easily and im a waitress so its a nogo
I hate that I can't adjust my sleep on 5 cam u on the 6? I could on old fitbit
Hello, unfortunately you can't do that on the 6 either
i am shopping around for one, and sleep tracking is important to me. what do you mean adjust sleep?
That batterly life is shocking. How does samsung expect you to use it all day and then track your sleep at night as it wouldn't last!
Potiential for great reviews in the future. Instead of saying this one has xyz vs this one, try saying the 6 has xyz vs the 5
Hello, thanks for sharing i will take that into consideration!
What about GW 6 classic ⌚️
Hi, I dont have that watch. I choose to use smaller form factor watches as someone with a smaller wrist.
If I buy galaxy watch 5, for how many years will I be getting the software updates?
And I have samsung galaxy s10, it will work with it, right?
Hello, I can't comment on how long the updates will be as Samsung has not released that information. And yes both will work with the S10!
watch 5 got update one ui 5.0 same with watch 6
@@Agnaangga okay👍🏻
Btw I have purchased watch 4 classic
@@743joychopra9 nice, I think 4 classic got one ui 5.0 too
Just bought the GW5, LTE version! Although, I don't have a watch plan 😒 Nonetheless, I cool with it so far.
I don't have the plan either, which is why i opt for the bluetooth versions. I'm glad it's working out without the watch plan for you!
"Find my phone" is lthay like pinging your phone on the Apple watch?
Hi, yes its similar to that.
The battery life on 5 is so horrible and I rarely use anything on it. Less than 10hrs
The battery life is bad on both tbh. Samsung really needs to improve that. And thanks for sharing your experience.
It takes like 30m to charge tho... just take it off when you shower and charge it.
