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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Overall the watch is great. Features are nice. Only giving 4 stars due to battery life. Battery dies quickly throught the day (even with all the settings for extended battery etc) and needs charging every evening. Charges quickly so thats a plus, just wish battery life was longer.

    Due to needing to increase my physical abilities, I had been looking for a smart watch to track my progress. The Samsung Galaxy Smartwatch fit the bill since I also have a Samsung phone to set my goals with.

    Love this watch. Very interactive and its ease of use makes it my go to over my Apple Watch. I like that I can track my BMI and other health data. Easily synced to my Google Pixel 7 and updates regularly.

    I've owned a Fitbit for years, but will never go back after the Watch5. Love that I can get both text and WhatsApp messages. Multitude of apps to add. Only, downfall is that the battery life is not great. I have to charge every day or else it will die midday.

    The call quality is surprisingly good. Having only had Fitbit before, I can honestly say I am impressed with the health tracking. The battery life is not the greatest a day and a half, but other than its a great watch.

    I really like this watch. It's handy being able to see emails, texts, and calls on my watch. The only downfall is that i have to charge it every day, but then i have to charge my phone twice a day so i guess it's to be expected!
