Samsung’s Unpacked event in August 2022 saw foldables take center stage, but we shouldn’t forget the company’s latest wearables.
The updated Galaxy Watch 5 and all-new Watch 5 Pro are some of the best smartwatches you can buy, combining premium hardware with a range of health features and Wear OS software.
We’re a fan of both, with the main differences on the Pro being a bigger screen, bigger battery, and more durable titanium casing. It’s also significantly more expensive, although neither are cheap by modern smartwatch standards.
With that in mind, you might be looking for a bargain or a bundle. That’s what this article is about, with some great deals available in the US and UK. Here’s everything you need to know.

How much did the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 cost at launch?
The Galaxy Watch 5 and 5 Pro are premium wearables, and their RRPs reflect that:
- Galaxy Watch 5 (40mm, Bluetooth): $279.99/£269/$299
- Galaxy Watch 5 (40mm, LTE): $329.99/£319/$349
- Galaxy Watch 5 (44mm, Bluetooth): $309.99/£289/$299

That’s slightly more expensive than last year’s Watch 4 (from $249/£249) and Watch 4 Classic (from $349/£349). The Apple Watch Series 8’s starting price of $399 / £419 means it sits roughly in the middle of the Watch 5 range.
