About the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro
Released August 2022 at $449, and the watch that made the Ultra possible. Samsung put a titanium case and sapphire crystal on it, fitted a 590mAh battery that was 60% larger than anything in the Watch 4 line, and claimed up to 80 hours, or 20 hours with GPS running.
It is also the first Galaxy Watch built for navigation rather than just tracking. Track Back records your outbound route and vibrates you back along it, and you can import a GPX route for hiking or cycling. Both need enabling in Samsung Health before a session starts. Four years on it remains on Samsung's quarterly security list and runs Wear OS 6, and secondhand it is the cheapest titanium Galaxy Watch there is.

Connect in 3 Steps
Install Lynio Watch on your Galaxy Watch 5 Pro
From the Play Store on the watch. If Google sign-in will not work there, Lynio sends the app across as a signed bundle over Wi-Fi instead.
Follow the in-app pairing guide
Keep both on the same Wi-Fi, Bluetooth on, and leave the app open until pairing finishes.
What You Get After Pairing
| Works | Does not carry over |
|---|---|
| Notifications from your iPhone | Samsung Pay and Samsung Wallet |
| Calls, made and answered from the wrist | Samsung Health's phone app |
| Contacts synced from the iPhone | Bixby |
| Music playback control | Samsung Find |
| Workouts and health data written to Apple Health | |
| Track Back, GPS and every on-watch sensor |
Track Back and route import are worth checking for your own use. They record and replay on the watch, but both are enabled from Samsung Health, and GPX files are loaded through Samsung's app on an Android phone.
