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.

    This is a great watch to have. I love how it tracks my steps, calories, and my active time. There are other features that are nice and I look forward to learning how to use them.

    This watch delivers on so many ways, better battery, fast charging with the fast charge puck, accurate results. I had the galaxy watch 4 40mm and I can say I am getting better battery life from the watch 5, and faster charging.

    Love this watch!! It was a little hard to get used to at first because I was used to having a smart watch with a bezel, but it was easy to learn!

    So far I am loving my samsung watch. Still learning it's functions, but an upgrade from Fitbit. First real smartwatch so I am not too familiar with the normal charge times, but I do wish it lasted more than a day and half.

    It's a good watch with good performance. After it learned my routine I end up with about 40% left before going to bed. Only downside is if you don't own a Samsung smartphone you cannot access the ECG features. However, the are ways to get around that if you're comfortable installing third party apps on your watch.

    "I've been using the Samsung Galaxy Watch for a couple of weeks now and I'm really impressed with its performance. The watch has a beautiful, high-resolution display and the rotating bezel makes navigation very intuitive. The watch offers a wide range of health and fitness features, including heart rate monitoring, GPS tracking, and automatic workout detection. The Samsung Health app is easy to use and provides a lot of helpful insights into my activity levels and progress towards fitness goals. Overall, I'm very happy with my Samsung Galaxy Watch and would recommend it to anyone looking for a stylish and functional smartwatch with great health and fitness tracking features."

    This is my second Samsung smart watch I bought. It's just the right size and love that I can change the band whenever I want to. I use it when walking to count my steps and miles walked.

    Really good smart watch. It is very comfortable, easy to use and looks good. Pretty simple to use too. Has mant features that the older ones did not. The only downfall i see compared to the older ones is the battery life seems to be a little lacking.

    Help I've fallen and I can't get up!

    I am 63 years old and have Ataxia. After several falls where I was unable to reach my phone to call for help, my children threatened me with a first alert necklace for seniors. Resistant to the thing around my neck, I started researching other options and decided on the watch. I've had falls since and am pleased to say I was able to call for help from my watch. Also great to be able to answer phone calls without having to find my phone. It has been a lifesaver!

    LOVE the Galaxy 5 watch. I am of a smaller stature, small wrists and it is not bulky or uncomfortable. The battery is great, To be fair, I don't use it for messages or calls but to track workouts and movement so I can't say how those additional uses would impact it. I put it on at 9 pm- active by 4 am and dont charge it until around 7:30 pm whiile I shower and usually its down to about 40%- in an hour its back to 100. I feel its accurate and just give me an all together great glimpse at my whole day body stats

    The watch does everything you could ask for, however, the battery runs VERY quickly. My old fitbit could go for at least 4 days-about 48 hours max on this one. The band could be sturdier. It's a decent choice, esp for Android users.
