The best Samsung smartwatches to gift

Smartwatches are likely to be one of the most highly requested gifts this holiday season. And while the Apple Watch 8 ($429) is highly rated (and a 100 most wanted holiday gifts pick), it simply won't work (well) when paired with an Android phone.

Fortunately, Samsung just came out with some brand new smartwatches that make perfect gifts for Android owners.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 5

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 is an upgrade from the popular Samsung Galaxy Watch 4. It features 10W smart-charging capabilities, a notable upgrade from the slower 5W charging offered by the prior model. It also offers an advanced workout algorithm and sleep tracking technology.

The Galaxy Watch 5 features an advanced bioactive sensor that collects more accurate data. This data can be managed and tracked in the Samsung Health app.

This is the first time that Samsung is offering its sapphire glass on its non-premium smartwatch options. (Sapphire glass isn't actually glass. It is a ceramic that mimics the transparency of glass and offers more durability.)

Like prior Galaxy Watch models, the Galaxy Watch 5 is available in 40mm and 44mm display sizes. It is also available in five colors.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro

The Galaxy Watch 5 Pro also boasts improved navigation with track-back mode to help you navigate your way to back your starting point.

The Watch 5 Pro is available in two colors. It comes in one size, 45mm.

The best Samsung laptops to gift

If someone you know if still using an old run-down laptop, a brand new Windows 11 laptop can be a practical (yet fun!) holiday gift.

15.6" Samsung Galaxy Book2 Pro (Intel Core i7)

Like the Samsung Galaxy Book Pro, the Samsung Galaxy Book2 Pro includes 16 GB of memory and 512 GB storage. This lightweight laptop features a powerful Intel Core i7 processor inside.
