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.

    Good watch but got an iPhone shortly after not realizing it made the galaxy watch useless to me. Without cellular or WiFi connection the watch doesn’t even tell time

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    Bought this a year ago when my fitbit went out. I like how it connects to my phone and tracks activties. However I have notice the battery loses charge faster than a year ago

    I love this watch. It allows me to keep track of my fitness goals, health goals and screen phone calls without constantly picking up my phone. The battery lasts longer than my other watch. I love the freedom.

    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.

    I bought this for my wife to replace a previous model. She loves it! It has many more features than her previous model. She tracks her activity levels during workouts and uses it to keep her vitals within recommended limits.
