How to Charge Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro
The Galaxy Watch 5 Pro uses fast wireless charging to charge its large 590mAh battery—44% larger than the standard Galaxy Watch 5.
Charging Steps
- Connect the wireless charging puck to a power adapter
- Place the watch back-side down on the puck, centered
- Watch vibrates when properly aligned
- Charging indicator shows battery percentage and estimated time
Charging Time
| Charge Level | Time (Fast Charger) |
|---|---|
| 0-100% | 90-100 minutes |
| 0-50% | 30-40 minutes |
| Quick top-up | 15 minutes adds several hours |
With a standard adapter (non-fast charging), expect 120-150 minutes for a full charge.
Best Practices
For Optimal Charging:
- Use Samsung's official wireless charging puck
- Ensure watch back is clean and dry
- Remove thick bands if they prevent alignment
- Charge in a cool, well-ventilated area
For Battery Longevity:
- Avoid charging in extreme heat (above 35°C/95°F)
- No need to fully drain before charging
- Partial charging is fine—lithium-ion batteries prefer it
Recommended Adapters
- Samsung 15W or 25W USB-C adapter (recommended)
- Any Qi-certified fast wireless charger
- Samsung Wireless Charging Duo/Trio pads
The green lightning bolt icon and vibration confirm proper charging connection.
