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.

    Really like my watch. I've had a fitbit versa 2 abd and Apple watch 6. Though I liked both of them, I prefer my Samsung watch since I have Samsung phone. I'm always misplacing my phone, so love that I can find it easily with my watch and also answer calls when I can't locate my phone. There are other features outside of exercise tracking I like as well like ECG, sleep monitoring, etc. The only thing I don't like is the short battery life

    Really good watch! Live that I don't have to pay for all the features like with fit bit. The only issue I have is the battery I just wish the battery life was better this one last 1 day and night tops hwts only woth the battery saver on. With out that you will just barley get a day. I'd like to see a galaxy watch I could get three days out of with out turning on battery saver

    I had one of the older watches that I got rid of due to not liking the size and didnt see myself using it that often. However this time around I got the correct size and have been enjoying it alot. Its very comfortable to the point that I sleep just fine with it. My favorite part about the watch is I can use it to see how poorly I sleep.

    Upgrade from an older Galaxy Watch

    I bought this watch to replace an older Galaxy watch that stopped working. It has several new features that the old watch didn't have, which I like. Battery life is short like others have mentioned, but I have developed a routine where I drop it on the charger every other morning and it fully charges in about an hour. I like how it connects to Samsung Health on my phone and gives me details on things like exercise, sleep, heartrate, etc.

    I've had this watch for about a year now and it's been really good. I upgraded from the Samsung watch 3 for this one. The battery life does run down slightly fast, but that's the only complaint.

    Great watch, charges fast and lasts a while. No matter how many times I’ve mistakenly hit a wall or something with my wrist it hasn’t taken any damage. It’s super fast charging- usually less than 2 hours from zero percent to a full charge.

    nice looking watch, it's a good size. comfortable and doesn't heat up and get real hot on my arm only bad thing is the battery doesn't last all day. I have turned off all the things that run in the back ground and it still goes down way before the end of the day! I can't use all the things that I got the watch for. Just looking nice isn't worth the money that it cost..

    I have had this Galaxy5 watch for approximately a month. It has been doing great and has a lot more features than the Galaxy2 I previously had. Thanks to having Totaltech/Best Buy protection plan, I was able to get most of my money back from the Galaxy2 that quit working after a 1 1/2 years Very pleased I had it!

    I really love this watch! I have always been the kind of person that doesnt wear bracelets/watches etc. I find this one ti be pretty comfortable and after a while i dont even realize it's there. It has a pretty good range before it loses connectivity to my phone. The only downsides i can think of are 1) i thought the battery would last longer 2) i wish there were more band sizes. Overall pretty good little device!

    I love my watch! This is the first smart watch I've ever owned but its great. It fits well, charges fast, and has most of the features I need. I love the exercise tracker because it helps me keep track of the calories i burn as I run or lift weights. I got a new band from Amazon to help me customize it.

    I figured my Galaxy Watch 2 was meeting my needs, I passed on succeeding new watches. The 2 gave me the time, the number of steps, etc. After reading reviews by the "experts", and more important to me, the reviews of everyday users like me, I was impressed enough to purchase the Galaxy Watch 5. Samsung developed an excellent product. The screen is vibrant. The watch face I use gives me all the relevant information I want...battery, date, steps, and weather. A swipe-up brings up the icons of the apps connected to the watch. It is so, so simple. Swiping to the right on the watch face goes through whatever apps you set up. For me, in two swipes, I'm at the exercise module I want to be at. The health monitoring functions are excellent and easy to use. Staying in the Samsung environment is definitely a plus. Adding the Galaxy Buds 2 was incredibly easy. Easy because I didn't have to do anything. The Bud's icon "magically" appeared on my watch. The watch has a beautiful display, connects to all my email and text apps, and so far has been problem-free. The battery easily, easily, easily goes a day with no problem. A shout out to Best Buy...thank you for outstanding service and competitive prices. I don't need Amazon when a Best Buy store is 10 minutes away, and you get to speak to a person instead of a computer. Thank you Best Buy.
