Both watches run Wear OS which was co-developed by Samsung and Google, and you get all the commonly used Google apps like Gmail and Google Maps.

If you’re a fitness enthusiast, you might want to consider the larger Watch 5 Pro. It is sturdier and made from titanium and has a larger case size of 45mm. Its screen has a raised edge that gives the feel of a physical bezel.
