Galaxy watch 4 classic vs Galaxy watch 5 pro

[nerdyxj97]

Question for you all.....I have a S3 Frontier BT watch, yes still. It still works just fine and still gets me at least a day out of the battery. But I want to switch to one of the new watches because Android Wear. I am looking between the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic and the new Galaxy Watch 5 Pro. I'm leaning toward the Watch 4 because I like the rotating bezel I have on my S3 Frontier. But the bigger battery on the 5 Pro is super appealing.

Can anyone offer some insight and thoughts on this?

I got the 4 Classic and am pretty disappointed in the battery life and the constant shut downs on hot days. I'm hoping they solved the over heating issues and I like the bigger battery so I traded in for the 5 Pro. A rotating bezel would be nice but I rarely use it.

Yea, I heard about the issues with shutting down, especially the LTE ones, so that's concerning to me

I should mention that this time around I would be looking to getting the LTE version instead of the BT this time.

@nerdyxj97 If the rotating bezel is a must have then the GW5 is out of the picture. It doesn't have it. 

I have a Gear S3 which still works wonderfully. I also have a GW4 with no bezel and I love it. I was switching between the 2 of them but find that I've now settled on the GW4 as my daily watch.

With the incredible bundle deal Samsung is offering, I decided to purchase a GW5 Pro with my new phone. I was able to check them out at the unpacked event and was very impressed. Not only does the GW5 (both models) have a bigger battery but they (finally) have faster charging.

Hi! I know you Galaxy Watch users are getting a lot of questions like this, but i need to Ask It... What are your thougths and experience of using Galaxy watch 4? I have couple questions:

1. Is this watch worth it?

2. What about the battery? I heard that is is NOT good.

3. Is the watch band comfortable/good.

4. Is It good for a small hand?

Thank you for reading.

I got about 36 hours with my 4. I get almost 3 days with my 5 pro. The bands can be changed very easily and Amazon has tons of cute ones. My wrist is 5 1/2 inches and I love mine. It's big, but I like big watches. I really enjoy not having to have my phone with me all the time since mine is LTE and doesn't have to be in Bluetooth range of my phone.

This is the 5 pro 45mm

I love mine :heart_suit:. It works perfectly with my phone. I have a flip 4.
