Preorders for the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 are now live. Fully showcased during the Samsung Unpacked event, the new wearable looks set to be the best Samsung watch yet — which is no small feat, as we were big fans of the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4

Priced at $279 (or $329 for the LTE model), the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 is proof that Samsung has truly found its stride in the smartwatch space. It’s not a massive setup from its predecessor, but its incremental upgrades are still very much appreciated, and help to make it the most desirable Galaxy watch yet. New features range from a boosted battery life to a more durable sapphire crystal glass display. Plus, the bottom curvature has been reshaped to more comfortably fit on your wrist, and this redesign also has the benefit of boosting its sensor readings as well. 

Users who want the most from their wearable will want to consider the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro. This is the first time that a Galaxy Watch has launched with a Pro model, and Samsung has fully committed to the concept. The Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro costs a hefty $449 ($499 for LTE) but packs double the battery life, a more durable design and dedicated GPS tools. Going Pro isn’t necessary for casual users, but smartwatch savants will want to seriously consider the upgrade.  

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 is available in Graphite, Silver, Sapphire and Pink Gold, whereas the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro comes in either Black Titanium or Gray Titanium. Both models of the wearable are water resistant up to 5ATM with an IP68 rating. 

Right now, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 and the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro can be preordered at select retailers including AT&T and Amazon. Below you'll find everything you need to secure your new Samsung smartwatch. (Also, make sure to check out our guide to this week's best Samsung promo codes).
