The Galaxy Watch 5 Pro has a more rugged feel to it and comes with a titanium casing and a D-Buckle Sport Band. It has a 1.4-inch Super AMOLED Sapphire Crystal display with a screen resolution of 450 x 450 pixels and the Always-on-Display (AOD) functionality.
The Galaxy Watch 5 comes with an aluminum casing and has two options: 44mm and 40mm. The former option gets a 1.4-inch Super AMOLED Sapphire Crystal display, while the latter has a 1.2-inch screen. Both are powered by the dual-core Exynos W920 chipset, along with 1.5GB of RAM and 16GB of storage.
