Intro & Unboxing

I say this often, but I am a watch addict.  I love watches and have a few analogs (regular, everyday watches) and a few smartwatches, and I love them all.  If I could, I honestly would wear more than one at a time if it wouldn’t make me look like a dork, but alas… that isn’t the way things go. However, that doesn’t stop me from making a quick pitstop and occasionally swapping out the watch I am wearing for another. I’ve done that on more than one occasion.  Having choices can be fun, especially regarding Samsung’s Galaxy Watch line of products.

 

So, in the unboxing, I compare the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro and the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic. Watch the video.  The Watch 5 Pro is a decent smartwatch, but its lack of a hardware rotating bezel is a huge issue.  The soft bezel doesn’t work right, and changing the touch sensitivity so that it might be more responsive is disastrous.
