I would not know.
But don't think it would be worth upgrading.
The G-Watch 4 seem more than capable.

Must admit very disappointed with the GW5, will be sticking with my GW4, Fold3 but upgrading to Buds Pro2.

The GW3 to the GW4 was a worthwhile upgrade but in my opinion, the GW5 isn't a worthy upgrade from my GW4

Just pre orderd the galaxy watch 5 pro today. Other than improved battery life and a more rugged exterior, which i really want, it might not be worth it for most.

Not worth the upgrade in my view. Nothing really startling or amazing with it, and lack of benzel. Sticking with my GW4 & just treated it to a couple of new straps.

It seems the case, other than a battery and some desperately complicated "route downloads", I think most facilities are the same

I was at a Samsung pop up in Westfield London, tried out the SGW5 v W4 46mm, visually it seems a much bigger beast, UI etc same old.

I just upgraded to the 5 (non pro) earlier this week from the 4. I have to send it back today, it's not recording any sleep functions.  I'm bummed because when I spoke to tec support yesterday after checking all the settings and resetting everything. I was told that if it didn't start recording they would send me a replacement.  Today, after it still didn't record, I was told that that was incorrect, I have to send it back for "repair or replacement" . So I'll be without my watch now, I've already sent back my 4 as a trade in.  So at this point I say if you are tempted, wait till they have had it out for a little while.
