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 purchased my Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 smartwatch a few weeks ago to replace my Fitbit Sense that died after 14 months. So I love my Galaxy watch 5. I like the way I can track my exercises, lets me know when I have a phone call or text. What I like best of all is Best Buy's Totaltech membership. I have belong for several years and with the membership they double my warranty from 1 year to 2 years. They returned my money and I purchased the Samsung smart watch. I will not purchase another Fitbit product since they do not back their products even thought lots of people Fitbit Sense died less than 18 months old.

    I bought this for my wife. I have the 44mm version. Build quality is good, battery simply isnt good. If it lasts a full day, you've done well. Samsung needs to drop WearOS and do something different.

    Love the watch. It's finally small enough for my wrist. It works great. The wristband is also very nice and doesn’t make my skin break out.

    It's a watch; you can send messages with it; it can track your progress for fitness/medication/goals; it can be an alarm/set up callendar dates; and, its customizable with photos or specific watch faces. Good enough for me and wasn't too expensive. Battery life for me is approx 2-3 days depending on how much you use it but on power saving can last a week+.

    I love this watch. I wish the battery lasted longer but, it gets me through a whole day. I would love the blood pressure and temperature options to work. Hopefully the FDA will approve these soon.

    Wife's watch and works great except the battery. It is horrible. She has always had fitbit and this watch battery life is dismal. She has to charge it daily which means she cant wear it while charging. Otherwise she likes it.
