Samsung has presented its new smart watches, but are they up to the Apple Watch?
For many years now, both Apple and Samsung have been fighting hand in hand in the smartwatch sector, with comings and goings between the two, especially since they usually present their models always on the same dates.
A short time ago the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 arrived on the market, which is ahead of the launch of the new Apple Watch and that for now can only be compared with the Series 7. There are two versions of the Samsung watch, the standard and the Pro, somewhat more expensive.
We wanted to make a Comparison of features and price between the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 and the Apple Watch Series 7similar in many ways and quite different in others, including cost.
If you like to keep up to date with the latest product offers and recommendations, you can follow them in real time on the Computerhoy.com channel on Telegram, where we will keep you informed of the latest technology discounts.
Obviously, the most loyal users to Apple hardly ever consider switching to Samsung (although their smartwatches are compatible with iOS), but there are users who doubt which is better.
Reaching a definitive conclusion is practically impossible, although we assess their main differences below
Price: Samsung wins by a landslide
The price of the Apple Watch is deceiving and a lot
The Galaxy Watch have already made the leap with two very useful functions
If you are an iPhone user, the Apple Watch gives you much more
Battery: both far from the brands that shine the most

1 Price: Samsung cheaper
2 The Apple Watch is more expensive but more amortizable
3 Extra features in the Galaxy: skin temperature and body composition
4 The Apple Watch is ideal for iPhone users
5 Battery: about 40 hours against 18 hours of the Apple Watch
Price: Samsung cheaper
Samsung Galaxy Watch 5
Samsung has been betting year after year on relatively low prices for its watches for a long time, and in 2022 they have not changed their strategy, that is why there is no color when deciding if your budget is tight.
The Galaxy Watch 5 Bluetooth is for sale from 300 euros, a price that goes up if you include an LTE connection or a larger size, whichever you prefer. The dynamics will drive its price down month after month, as it always does.
For its part, and many months after its launch, the Apple Watch continues to stay closer to 400 euros, although surely when there is a new model it will fall quite a bit in price if it is still on sale.
The Apple Watch is more expensive but more amortizable
Apple Watch Series 7
The price of the Apple Watch is higher or much higher and, although it is difficult to assess whether the useful life of one or the other is higher (because it depends on many factors), it is clear that the medium and long-term resale price of the watch Apple is more attractive.
By this we mean that you can have your Apple Watch for 3-4 years and then sell it second-hand, recovering a good part of the investment, something that does not happen with Samsung models.
The reason is that the American brand is not very given to price reductions, and that makes the “floor” price of its devices higher.
Extra features in the Galaxy: skin temperature and body composition
With the Galaxy Watch 4, Samsung introduced an interesting feature that Apple hasn’t replicated so far: body composition measurement, which measures how much fat and muscle you have.
In the new model it is still present and another one is added, the skin temperature sensornot as accurate as a thermometer but still remarkable.
In addition, they also have NFC for payments, but with Samsung Pay, so you should check if your bank is compatible with this service or not.
The Apple Watch is ideal for iPhone users
Apple Watch Series 7
Although, as we have mentioned, the Samsung device is compatible with iOS, the integration of the Apple Watch is obviously much better. Receiving calls and notifications, having Siri on your wrist, and much more work better between devices of the same brand.
It is the main reason why the Apple Watch sweeps among Apple users. Not only that, but they constantly receive updates, even adding new features through watchOS, which continues to improve little by little.
Among the features of the Apple Watch Series 7 that make it stand out are the very accurate electrocardiograms or extreme noise alert.
We were able to prove all this and more first hand in the analysis of the Series 7.
Battery: about 40 hours against 18 hours of the Apple Watch
It should be noted yes or yes that the battery data of these models are far from being outstanding. Until now, both had problems going beyond 24 hours when using GPS or playing sports, let alone using features like calls.
Little by little they have been improving, that must be granted to both brands. The Galaxy Watch 5 goes up to approximately 40 hours of battery with real use, exceeding the 18 hours that we counted the Apple watch in its test, although it is expected that the new Apple Watch of 2022 will also improve in this aspect.
The two companies are far from others like Garmin or Fitbit, which focus more on sports and fitness and less on smartwatch functions such as notifications, calls or the virtual assistant.
