Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 and Watch 5 Pro may not be on top of our best smartwatches list, but they remain solid options for those who are looking to buy a reliable. The Watch 5 Pro, in particular, holds a special place in Samsung's Galaxy Watch line as the only good for athletes and those with an active lifestyle. Not only is it a more durable option, but it also has a slightly bigger display and battery compared to the regular watch.
There is a lot to like about the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro, but it's a shame that the bands included with it are just decent at best. They may not even give you a good fit if you happen to have small wrists. Thankfully, there are a ton of third-party watch bands available on the market, so you don't have to stick with the included ones. The Galaxy Watch 5 and the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro both support standard 20mm watch bands. They are readily available to purchase and are also quite affordable.
