Samsung giveth and Samsung taketh away. The latest additions to the Galaxy Watch line present a bit of both. The headline on each side of that equation is the addition of a “Pro” version to the ever-evolving smartwatch lineup and the decision to, once again, drop the Galaxy Watch’s best and most unique feature, the spinning bezel.

The Galaxy Watch 5 is the second wearable to sport the joint Wear OS/Tizen matchup that suddenly finds Google suddenly eking out significantly more market share. For Samsung, it means access to a lot more app than its Tizen-only days — though the company is about to experience some additional competition from a company not named Apple, as Google prepares the first Pixel Watch for a fall release.
