Samsung has officially launched its new series of smart watches. The Galaxy Watch 5 and Watch 5 Pro are already available on the market and many are those who did not waste time and already have one. Well, if you are one of those who already wears one of these smartwatches on your wrist, here we bring you a list of the best apps that you can install.

The 10 best apps for the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 and 5 Pro

The new Galaxy Watch 5 arrive with a couple of differences compared to the Galaxy Watch 4, but they maintain many of the features that they liked so much about Samsung’s smart watches from last year. One of them are the 16GB of storage that allow you to install a lot of applications. As which? Well, the following:

Spotify

If you are a music lover, there is an application that you cannot miss on your Samsung Galaxy Watch 5. It is the version for wearable devices of the popular streaming music service, Spotify. This works as a controller for the popular mobile app of this music platform. Thus, you can change songs from your smartwatch or pause playback If necessary.

Google Assistant

Another free application that you cannot miss on your Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 is the Google Assistant. Why? Well, because once you start using it you won’t be able to live without it. This app takes all the commands you love so much about Google Assistant to your wrist.

Do you need to get a quick answer? Well, you can ask your watch and the Google Assistant will give you the answer in a matter of seconds. Furthermore, it is important to mention that this works much better than the manufacturer’s own wizard (Bixby).

google-wallet

This year Google has again relaunched its digital wallet. Google Wallet has returned and now you can not only have your debit and credit cards in it, but also licenses and cards. This application incorporates the payment system of the great G, Google Pay, and allows you pay just by bringing the Galaxy Watch 5 close to the dataphone thanks to its NFC chip.

While Samsung watches and phones come with a built-in payment app (Samsung Pay), it’s not as intuitive or easy to use as the Big G app, so the google wallet is better.

Samsung Healthcare

Although we have previously recommended two applications that replace the ones that come with the Galaxy Watch 5 by default, it is important to mention that not all the manufacturer’s apps are bad and Samsung Health is a clear example of this. The Korean brand’s health app is excellent. With it you can know the quality of your sleep at night or the number of steps you take per day.

In addition, you can have an accurate record of many variables related to your health such as heart rate, blood oxygen levels and calories consumed per day. In addition, you can use its routines and sport modes to train and stay fit.

facer

When it comes to apps to personalize smart watches, Facer is without a doubt the best. This app that you can install on practically all smartwatches on the market with Wear OS (including the Galaxy Watch 5) has a huge variety of dials so you can give your smartwatch a unique style.

Although Samsung has included a wide variety of dials in the Galaxy Watch 5 and Watch 5 Pro, the vast majority are standard and not very personalized designs. Well, in Facer you can find up to 15,000 different optionsso we invite you to take a look at it.

Youtube music

Now, if you are not a fan of Spotify, then don’t worry, there is another very good alternative that you can try. It’s about YouTube Music, the musical version of the popular video platform which also has its app for wearable devices.

As with the Spotify application, with this you can control music playback from the YouTube Music mobile appso if this is the one you use to listen to your favorite songs, then you should download it.

AccuWeather

The Galaxy Watch 5 and Watch 5 Pro come with a built-in app that offers weather data. However, it only gives very superficial information on this topic. Do you want to have more accurate weather data on your smartwatch? Well then you have to download AccuWeather.

With AccuWeather you get your local weather forecast, discover the most important weather news, track the storms that can be generated near your location, etc. And the most important thing is that you can get all this weather information on your wrist.

Google Maps

It is essential to have a map on the smartwatch and for the Galaxy Watch 5 and Watch 5 Pro the best option is Google Maps. Although it is an app that comes pre-installed on Samsung watches, we recommend it in case you haven’t taken a look at it yet.

But Why is Google Maps so good? Well, because it offers you quite detailed information about the routes and places you can visit in your locality. In addition, it is synchronized with the Google Maps app on your mobile, so you can follow the directions of the destination you are going to by seeing your wrist.

Google Messages

Something that was missing in the first smartwatches that hit the market was the opportunity to be able to read and send messages. Well, this has already been solved thanks to the Google messaging application. This offers you the possibility of read the messages you receive on your mobile and send short responsesall from the comfort of your wrist.

Komoot

If you are one of those who practice sports, and especially hiking, then you cannot miss Komoot. This is an application that offers detailed information about routes and paths that you can follow on your tours of the mountains or the countryside. In addition, it provides GPS navigation for users to avoid getting lost during hiking.
