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.

    If you're an iOS user coming to Android, this watch is a good comparison if you're familiar with an apple watch. Battery life is decent enough to last me through the day. Charges fast to where I can wear it at night if I do a quick charge while I'm bathing, and again in the morning while I'm getting ready for work.

    Got this as a gift for a family member and they loved it! The watch itself is not too heavy and connecting it to a phone took about 5 min or less. It even automatically changes to the language your phone is set to, so that setting up the watch is easy. They had this for almost a month and no complaints so far!

    I bought this watch for my fiancée’s birthday. This is a great watch. This is her first smart watch and she’s not really tech savvy so it work out because she’s able to utilize every single feature. It streamlines everything for her being a business owner.

    My first Samsung smartwatch, and I love it. I have a Samsung phone, so set up was so easy. I like that it monitors so much, especially my sleep. I won't go with any other brand but Samsung. I've had two Fossil SWs in the past, and liked them, but the ease of use wasn't as smooth as this one.

    Love my new watch. Although I don't have a Samsung phone I can still use this watch. I can answer phone calls, text, keep track of how many steps I take in a day, set an alarm, control my streaming on my tv, and find my phone. And do so many other things....

    Definitely an upgrade from my Samsung Active, just little sad that I had to sacrifice battery life going to this watch. I got 2 days and half on my actuve vs day and half on Samsung Watch5. Way more features I can put into my daily routine which made up for better life. Really love i can use google assistant on this watch!

    This Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 is excellent, many good features. Stays connected to the phone better than most other smart watches. One major draw back is that, it does not even keep a full charge for 24 hours, even tho it is not on AOD and does not receive a lot of texts or calls. The battery life, needs improvement !

    Sleek smartwatch. I had the "classic" before. Miss the turning bezel. But for the options available in my wrist size, this is good. I purchased a screen protector and bezel protector due to it being made out of aluminum. Works great. I like the new wrist band they way it tucks inside the strap instead of it flapping with movement.

    Excellent watch with plenty of features. It was a gift for my wife and best buy shipped super fast as always. She keeps track of her steps, listens to music, and even uses it to manage stress. A great device at a great price.

    I've had this watch for a couple weeks now and I like it! It's my first smart watch (besides a basic FitBit) and I'm still learning about everything it can do. I'm very impressed so far. The screen is so clear too. The battery isn't amazing, but it will get you through a full day. It's not really a problem if you're fine with charging it every night.

    I love this watch! It easily connects to other apa such as myfitnesspal, mapmywalk and my bitmoji character!! There are a variety of face designs that are free. The battery life isn't bad i can usually get 2 days out of a charge or a day and a half if im really active and using all the features.

    It's beautiful and the pink color is the best of all. Used to wear Samsung Fit 2 which I loved, but the upgrade was worth it. It charges very fast and the battery lasts for almost two days what is amazing from such a small watch. Simply perfect!
