Customers are saying

Customers regard the Galaxy Watch5 Aluminum Smartwatch 40mm BT favorably for its ease of use, numerous features, and stylish design, with many appreciating its comfortable size. However, a significant drawback reported by users is the battery life, which is considered insufficient by many. Other less frequently cited concerns include the absence of a rotating bezel from previous models and limitations with the ECG functionality for non-Samsung phone users. The watch's sleep and step tracking capabilities also receive positive feedback.

    This was nice and all - but I ended up returning and going for the galaxy watch 6. The new one has smaller bezels - so its screen fits more between the older 40 and 44 size - which was perfect. Otherwise this was basically the same watch - great health tracking, easy to use, and notifications on your wrist. This was surprisingly life changing - now I can keep my phone on vibrate - but never miss calls or important texts. Unintuitively - being more connected / tethered with the watch has made me less glued to technology/my phone since I don't need to worry about missing an important message / call for work or from my family ;)

    Great watch. I updates from my old galaxy sport. Set up was pretty seamlessand the readings for sleep, steps, and heart rate readings are more accurate than the other competitors. Battery lasts almost 3 days and charges quickly. You should get one.

    I bought this watch for my wife's birthday. She absolutely loves it. She had a Fitbit for a while but only after a few months it stopped working and would not charge. She loves it because she can find her phone just by tapping a button on her watch and she can even find where she parked her car! Honestly I think it's better than my older generation Samsung watch so I may consider getting another one for myself

    I absolutely love my new Samsung Galaxy Watch 5. I git the 40mm because I have thin wrists. It is so versatile and comfortable. You can customize everything with just a few touches. It's the oerfect companion wether you are out doing sports, at home or having a night out. You can answer calls. Messages, get all your notifications, and more. No need to have your phone in your hand or on the table or strapped to your arm. In top of that, you can change how it looks to match your activities or looks! Love it! Oh, and it interphases seamlessly with your Samsung phone and earbuds!

    **NOTE** I returned the 40mm watch and purchased the 44mm version as I have a bigger wrist and liked the slightly bigger size of the screen information. Needed a new smart watch and this one fit the bill. Ease of use setting it up and once I got the hang of being able to find the app I wanted was perfect. Even when I upgraded my Galaxy phone to a newer model, connecting the phone was as easy as my ex girlfriend. Battery life is great, as I usually top it off overnight. I can’t sleep with the watch on to monitor my sleep.

    Best choice I've made with a smartwatch

    Upgraded from a Fitbit and couldnt be happier! The set up process was a breeze and fairly user friendly. Having a galaxy smart phone and pairing it with the galaxy smartwatch was probably the best move I could have made. The two work nearly perfectly together and I never have to fight with sync issues like I would have to with my Fitbit. The only downside is the battery life, but thats something that is easily looked over since I just charge it when I take it off to shower, or when I'm juat hanging around the house. Highly suggest anyone to upgrade if theyve been thinking about it!!
