Love this galaxy watch pro 5. Use if for step tracking and it is very accurate. I also use the sleep tracking feature where it shows how many hours you slept and details the kind of sleep you had througout the night. Also records snoring! Which is a cool feature. Figuring out how to wear the watch was a little bit confusing in the beginning but watched some youtube video and got it. Now it is very easy to wear. The battery life lasts around 2 days for me. Also i can customize watch so whenever i look at the watch i can see my chosen pictures. I also log my water and i use the timer feature often when i workout and study. The watch design is nice and the screen is big which i like. Super good value. Also use the samsung pay which is convenient when i forgot my wallet.

I have pretty thin wrists and even so I think the large size on this watch is fantastic and doesn't look weird (I do have to use the second smallest size on the band though you can replace the band so no biggie there). It's very responsive and the touch feels great and not laggy. It's nice to be able to customize the shortcuts and watch faces and there are a lot of native app integrations. I do find that I miss the crown on the Apple watch, some controls just feel better and cleaner on a physical dial. The white band stains quite easily, like from rubbing your hand next to your jeans as you walk etc. The watch does a great job at detecting workouts and automatically logging them. I use it for sleep tracking as well and the native Samsung app handles that very well. I love that I can do a body comp analysis. Gpay works perfectly as well. Charge lasts over 24 hours even when wearing for sleep tracking. I've had it since launch and no scratches on the watch face yet. Overall, lots of features and very attractive. My only gripe is that Samsung doesn't allow ECG with non-Samsung Android devices which feels totally ridiculous. Seems like they've intentionally hidden that feature behind a wall to incentivize phone sales.

Had an OG galaxy watch that finally succumbed to a short in the main button, resulting in an unendable reboot loop (even waited like 2 weeks to try charging it again, only for it to start up and start rebooting again). Read up on the newer models, and found that the 5 pro had a better battery life (and was fully waterproof to like what, 5atm?!) than the 6... It's true! This watch is chock full of options, the watch faces do not disappoint, and i charge it maybe twice a week, if that. I like the simplicity and comfort of the standard watch band, and it does not irritate my skin like the Fitbit band did. I do miss the rotating bezel, but wasn't willing to sacrifice battery life for getting the 6 with it.

So far, I like my first Smartwatch. I used to work in a place where i could not have a cellular device or anything else that transmitted so I purchased this as a retirement gift to myself (not expecting a gold watch from the company). I like being able to take calls and see what emails or texts come in. I also use it to track my sleep and teamed with my Galaxy phone, record my snoring so I know what I put my poor wife through. I like that it works with Ride with GPS but have not tested the navigation--coming soon to a watch on me. As a guy, I find the size fine (see picture) and as an older guy, prefer the size for being able to see the text.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great watch that is super customizable, with features aplenty. I find myself asking "what more can I do with this thing?". The battery life is pretty good, I usually go about 2 days without charging. It can sometimes be a little sluggish, but with everything packed into such a compact device I'm not surprised. I have a couple of drop in cases for it that I wear for everyday wear (shown in picture), but I love the original band that came with it, super comfy and can be adjusted to the perfect fit.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great watch, enjoyed the features on it. However the battery on it completely died. I have to buy a replacement battery and try and fix it. This happened on my other galaxy watch also. I don't know if I am doing something wrong or if it is a design flaw with the battery. I am looking forward to getting the replacement battery and getting it back up and running. I miss having the watch and using the NFC feature to pay for things at the cashier.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Have used my Samsung Galaxy watch5 to keep track of all my health goals. It really helps me to stay on track and keep up on my activity levels. The sleep monitoring features have revealed issues that I did not know about and I have been able to make changes that have tremendously improved my sleep. I tell everybody about the different ways that this watch has benefitted me.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use my watch for everything, taking calls, text messages, news, etc. When I'm away from my phone my watch will still give me the notifications. I love this watch. The sleep tracking helps too, I really recommend this accessory for anyone!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I only like Samsung products for phones,watches and earbuds. Their appliances are the worst.
