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 upgraded from the active 2 to the new Galaxy 5 watch. Absolutely love it. There's so many more features on this watch. It records snoring, which is pretty cool. Having this watch on, made me hit 10k steps since I've had it.

    The health features and monitoring are nice. 40mm is the perfect size in my opinion but others may say otherwise.

    I enjoy my new watch. It has many features that my old one didn't have. If I wear it to bed it has to be charged in the morning, which I somtimes forget. My old watch's battery lasted for days, I do miss that

    Great benefit with the sleep monitoring. Having a sleep disorder, this feature has been useful in helping me track and adjust my sleep habits to help me improve the quality of sleep and even my number of hours of sleep. It does not solve the problem - but it helps you to better manage it to have a better day. This alone was more valuable to me than all the other features - thought there's a wealth of usefulness under its little hood.

    It s great but the battery doesnt last too long. Has multiple applications and works as a fitness tracker. Not extremely comfotable to wear in bed to track your sleep.
