Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 review

The Galaxy Watch 5 is an incremental — yet attractive — upgrade

www.tomsguide.com

Are you looking at selling?

 

[Gally]

Yeah it's unused mate. Check what value is in them. About £70 I think. Still £200+ on Amazon.

 

[MatthewR]

Could do with a smart watch (android). Had a quick look but wondered any recommendations new or used around the £100. Decent battery etc.

I have one of these,

Sekonda Active Smartwatch (1994) | Yellow Silicone Strap | Sekonda

Buy a Sekonda Smartwatch with 45mm round case & yellow silicone strap (1994) direct from British watch designer Sekonda. FREE delivery & 2 year guarantee.

www.sekonda.com

Easily lasts a week, does steps, time, sleep, heart rate, notifications.

I got the blue strap one when it was on offer, you can also pick a second colour strap for free too.

Ok mate will let you know a bit later 👍👍

Quite cool that! Hadn't heard of them before. Can you respond to notifications and tap to pay? I use tap to pay a lot.

I'll be honest, I have no idea 🤣

I mainly use it to track steps but I'll have a look further into it tomorrow and report back!

Been looking (and made an offer) at the ticwatch pro 3, seems an ok watch

Meh

I returned mine after a week.

Watch 5 pro is the one. So much better with the integration, the Ticwatch looks proper cheap with its secondary LCD display thing

Loads of samsiung watch 6 on ebay selling fotlr 100 ish with bidding new atm as free with s24ultra so people selling em on

 

[imprezaworks]

Yeah have seen them mate, thanks.

 

[Gally]

Bit random but just to show how mad that new screen and anti reflective coating is. Even next to my s22u it's crazy. They deserve some credit.

been looking at new phones of recent, ive currently got an xperia 1 iii.

i signed up to Honor as i like their v2 folding phone, they keep sending me offers. they currently have an offer for £500 off, which makes the phone £1200. But they don't do monthly payments 😕

Samsung which I don't like as much as more expensive but they do do monthly payments.

🤷 So bloody annoying

Also better form zfold 6 coming and pixel fold 2 again better form. The one plus open seems to be the nicest one i've seen however.

From a software pov samsung pisses over them, they have nailed the foldable experience. Pixel doesn't even have app pairs yet. Honor is superb and thin, but f**k ownming a foldable from a company you might email or send your phone to and never hear from them again. If you're doing that, save a fortune and buy a used V2?

Whilst I get your point, not sure I've ever emailed a phone company in my life.

Would love the fold6 but I suspect it will be very expensive

Always great trade in deal but yes it will be expensive. One plus open under £1000 just now.

Their Web site says £1600

Ive not checked but do they do monthly? I'm currently in a position where I have spare cash monthly

 

[Gally]

Definitely not as many used for sale! Paypal credit is 0% usually aswell. In America there were loads!

oh second hand, im kind of a brand new type person 😬

Ah hence the high costs! The honor doesn't seem a bad price!

 

[imprezaworks]

Is the base 24 any good?

 

[Gally]

S24? I think I'd rather a 23 unless you want the flat screen. The 23 has the snapdragon chip globally. The 24 has an exynous chip. Main difference. You tube the difference.

Both a beautiful size and shape.

 

[imprezaworks]

Yeah just been reading about the exynous chip, not that greatest.

I'm due an upgrade from my s22 in a couple of days. I was going to go for an s24 just on a new ID Mobile contract at £29.99/month.

Just wondering if there's any decent deals that anyones seen for upgrading to an s24 with trade in? Might work out more economical

 

[imprezaworks]

Can you afford to buy outright and do a similar at a tenner a month?

 

[Louis]

If it's worth it I will. Previously when looking it was actually more affordable to just get a contract as buying outright + contract put you at higher cost anyway.

Intrest free from samsung and some decent offers

Yeah i've done it on my last two phones. No brainer for me now.

The s23 was actually a very good phone and better chip set if they still sell it.

As boring as it sounds what about running the s22 for a bit longer and just going sim only? Think I'm paying £8 a month with everything included.

Hi mate,

What about joining the superior club and buying an iPhone?

Cheers

Maybe a bit big for him if he's using a standard s22. The small 23 is an incredible little phone and snapdragon chip elevated it over the others.

 

[imprezaworks]

I feel like I need a Samsung what with a Samsung watch and buds

I Can highly reccomend all 3!

 

[imprezaworks]

Well I have two of the above lol. Missed an absolute what looked to be bargain on avforum the other day. An immaculate s24 Ultra sold for £600. I really should have jumped faster.

I'm just fedup of the s22 battery tbh. I've only ever run the phone in battery saving mode as it dies so fast. I tried standard battery today and I'm already on 27% and I've barely been on my phone.

Yeah, I have zero interest in big phones anymore. I much prefer the size of the s22.

Size is always an issue. If you're worried about battery the s23 with the snapdragon chip may be a better choice over the 24.
