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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Great watch. Had fitbits for yrs but the last one my versa 2 did not sync well with my phone. Finally got the samsung watch and its perfect with my phone. Didnt think i would love the round design but i do. Everything about this watch is fantastic. You wont be disappointed.

    It's a nice watch. Everything but the ECG feature works with my Pixel phone (you'll need to explicitly download / update Google Assistant in the play store on the watch). You'll need to decide if this watch is worth the premium over the Galaxy Watch 4, since there aren't too many differences.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Affordable, my boyfriend loves his watch, he originally purchased a way cheaper watch from Amazon and couldn’t do anything with it, with this one, he can text and answer calls, most importantly, he uses it to track his sleep and health

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

    LOVE THIS WATCH!!! I don't have any issues with it besides sometimes it doesn't want to stay connected from a bit of a distance but that really isn't that big of a deal. Have really helped me keep track of my steps and how my sleep is.

    I love it. Great job tracking my sleep patterns, eating, can get phone calls and texts on watch. I have found it has become a part of my life within a week. The only thing that could be better is battery life.

    Excellent watch. I went from the Gear 2 (I had this warch for about 5 years and I only replaced it because it stopped holding a charge) to this watch and it was a huge upgrade. I was able to download my Spotify app and control my music by my watch.

    Works great and is very stylish but feel like the battery life on the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 4 that I had previously was a bit longer. And the charging cable provided has to plug in to the phone which is just terrible design. Definitely need a USB plug charger or a different wireless charger.
