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.

    Great watch. Does what you expect. Lots of functionality. Not the most comfortable, but not uncomfortable. Very durable. Only downside is battery life.

    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

    Bought this as a birthday gift for my son, so far he has worn it every day and has had no complaints. He said he really likes how it keeps track of how many steps he walks and how easy it was to set up

    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.

    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.

    I'm happy with the watch and the 40 mm size is the max I can really wear. I wanted it for golf and have used it with Golf Pad that I downloaded. Lots of functions - takes time to learn it but not really hard. Battery is not as good as I had hoped. Doesn't last more than a day if you use a lot of the functions.

    This watch has everything you need! Message, take calls via Bluetooth, control music, take your heart rate, track your sleep, and much more! This watch may be a generation old, but it just relieved the newsest UI 5 samsung upgrade!

    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.

    I upgraded from my old version 4 to this new watch. This watch has most of the same features but better. Hoping this ine lasts longer than my last watch. I only had it a year and it started glitching and restarting every few minutes.

    I love this watch! I'd had the Galaxy Active 2 for about 5.5 years and its screen literally just came apart after I went swimming. I was in desperate need for a good replacement and being #TeamSamsung #OnABudget, I purchased this watch "open box". It was an EXCELLENT deal and the watch was brand new in its original box with all its original parts. It is quite the upgrade from the Active 2, I will say. I get 2 full days of battery use (including when I work out for 1.5 hours) and I like the ability to have quick conversations via the watch. The voice to text in responding to messages is not great, but it is a minor issue for me because its keyboard can Swype. I love everything about this watch and I highly recommend it.

    Samsung Galaxy watches are so much better than the Fitbits we used to have. We like all the health monitoring it does, esp the stages of sleep. Battery life isn't the best, have to charge twice a day at times. Have to set the settings on low to preserve the battery to get thru the day.

    A ton of functionality. Like the round bezel. Battery life is noticeably lower than Fitbit sense 2, but can significantly improved when used in battery saver mode which is what I do. This, however, does keep display always on.

    I really like this watch. I had a fitbit that was good. But, this watch is so much better. I like all the things it's capable of. And the ease of being able to understand the reading of the data. I like the way it wears, it's comfortable.

    After having a Fitbit Charge 3 for 4-5 years I bought the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 and it is a huge upgrade. It is pretty much a smart phone on your wrist. Still haven't used it to its full potential, but it almost has as many features as a smart phone. Really glad I upgraded.
