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 for my wife, she says 3 stars is good enough. Lots of apps and options for it, but after updates it's a pain to have to reset certain settings. Battery life started slipping after only a year of use and step tracking is wildly different (inaccurate) from one day to the next.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    "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."

    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

    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.
