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.

    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!

    Not a "classic" but a decent alternative

    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.

    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 !

    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....

    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.

    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.

    Great watch, but the technology has progressed so much since it came out. It is nice and light and easy to wear battery life is pretty good. A few dings around the bezel, overall it is pretty durable.

    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!

    Samsung watch 5

    So far, the watch is great. I can go 2 - 2 1'/2 days without charging it, longer would be nice but it's manageable. The heart rate, ecg and sleep seem to be accurate, and they are the reason I chose this watch. The band leaves gaps on both sides of my wrist, which is 6", so it's not as comfortable as I would like.

    All that I wanted in a watch, the convenience of not holding a phone or having ear buds on my ears and still receive/make calls is amazing. I am loving it so far, the samsung health monitor is a cool feature too, I can monitor my sleep

    I'm really happy with my samsung watch. Have many important functionality. I can monitor my heartbeat since I have arrhythmia and my sleep. I really like the function to evaluate body mass too. I recommend protection screen. I bought together.

    Very pleased so far. This watch replaced a fitbit and the sale msde it worth giving it a shot. Excellent connectivity. Nice choice of watch faces. Wish battery life was a bit longer but not a game changer. It's new so rating durability is not valid.

    My wife had a need to track her heart rate and other things this watch is capable of tracking. I have been a Galaxy watch owner myself for quite a while - currently have the Galaxy watch5 Pro, which is my 4th galaxy watch. The battery life on this is pretty good, considering it is smaller and has a smaller battery than the pro. My wife does pretty much wear it all day and wears it to bed to track sleep data and only has a need to charge it when she is getting ready for the day. She also mentioned she likes the color. She said she would not have picked this color if she was the one picking it out, the thought being she would rather just have a black watch. But I did get it for her and she did make a point of mentioning specifically she likes this color more after having the watch than she would have liked something less colorful. The watch has a lot of features and does free you from having to constantly pull up your phone.
