This guide will help you understand the key differences between two great smartwatch series - the Galaxy Watch5 and the Galaxy Watch4 and choose which is the best one for you.
Briefly put, there are three main differences: size, battery and durability. Let’s take a look at this in more detail.
The Galaxy Watch5 and Galaxy Watch4 come in two sizes, 40mm and 44mm and they’re both built with Super AMOLED display for strength and durability . The Galaxy Watch5 has Sapphire Crystal Glass1 making it the strongest yet. This means you don’t have to worry about damaging it while exercising!
Another exciting new feature on the Watch5 is Fast charging. With a dedicated external PD charger2 the Galaxy Watch5 charges from 0% up to 45% battery in just 30 minutes, just perfect when you’re heading out and in a rush.
While the Galaxy Watch4 does not have this feature, it can last up to 40 long hours, depending on the usage.
