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 for my wife and she loves the smartwatch. It was very easy to sync to her phone. For the money it was a value purchase. Plus it was a great Christmas present.

    Pros- Beautiful Purple color, light, very useful for someone that doesn't want to use the phone just to read a text or take a quick call. Clear picture Cons- It only comes with one band size S/M I wish Samsung would give you the option to pick your size when ordering. It fits most people but I like a little more room on my wrist. The charger in the box is useless to me without a adapter so that I can plug it in. It's not like my phone charger.

    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 waited a year before leaving a review to give an honest one. This watch is better than any of the previous I have used and has held up more. I'm very clumsy and rough and it doesn't have a scratch on it and works like the day I bought it! I love all of the features and being able to keep up with my workouts and heartrate. I charge it once every 2 days. 10 out 10 recommend! (I did buy a new band because the one it comes with was slightly uncomfortable for my wrist )

    I was blessed to get this for 50 dollars with a sale combined with a best buy certificate. Product works as intended, the pros is you can monitor your sleep, change interface with multiple choices to choose from, check your heart rate, use timers, answer calls, browse the web on a tiny browser and many other little features. Only con is that it does not support certain important apps like Follow for low blood sugar levels for people with diabetes. Apple watch does have that feature so I gave it a 4 star for that.

    Pros: Smart watch features -- picks up calls, notifies me of my emails, messages, calendar events, and apps etc. BUT.... the battery life is so bad. It dies so quickly. And it forces me to have to charge it so frequently even though im not wearing it and it isn't being used. I have to turn it off to preserve the battery. The speakers can be improved as well. I can barely hear the person talk on the smart watch. Also, when I am driving around it tracks that as my steps which is annoying because it is not accurate at all. I hope they can improve that as well.

    I decided to upgrade from the Watch 3. Honestly it does a lot of the same things, and I miss the bezel(?). But this watch is more durable, longer lasting,has more fun customization and has some great new features like body weight composition. I enjoy it way more than my watch 3. I recommend the product. But, I'd say make the purchase that makes the most sense for you. Just like phones these days, these watches are mostly the same. They may have an improved feature here or a new feature there, but they all work very good.
