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.

    Very convenient product, it has everything i need right on my wrist. Battery life is a little short i only get about 3 days worth out of it before i have to charge it other than that it is perfect.

    User friendly interface, very customizable, charge doesn't last more than a day, but charges to 100% in no time. Very happy with this purchase. Would recommend over any Fitbit device any day.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    There are not many options when it comes to smart watches. This Samsung watch is a minor upgrade from the last gen. Build quality is excellent. Works seamlessly with Samsung phone. I do wish the battery can last longer than a day.

    Love it so far! I have only used Fitbit's and this watch has so much more to offer. I do wish it came in more color options for the bands like the Fitbit does, but that's an easy fix!

    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

    I love how it fitsand the style is beautiful, my only issue is how fast the battery goes down, its better then galaxy 3 but still drains fast. On a Positive note in regards to that is it charges quickly back to 100%. Probably my favorite watch :)

    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!
