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 had the Galaxy Active 2 watch and decided to get a new one. I bought this one (Galaxy Active 5) and I’m very happy with it. The battery last so much longer than my 2 did. I’m a small framed woman and very happy that it fits closer to my wrist. I enjoyed my 2 but I’m really loving this new one. I was also glad that the watch bands that I bought for my 2 fits my 5. A great purchase. Also when the 5 went on sale for a better price, Best Buy matched it. I recommend this watch.

    Watch looks nice. I love what you can do on it. I went from a Fitbit charge 5 to this which was a big upgrade. 2 things I would really consider before buying this; 1) battery dies pretty fast. Unless you put it on battery saver and use it just as a watch and maybe to see your messages. 2) The customization of the watch face is pretty limited. I couldn't find one that I like. So in conclusion, after having it for about a month, good quality but limited.

    Love the watch! Only downfall and reason for not giving a 5 star review, is the battery life. I have to charge every other day.

    It was apparent it was used but the product was in stellar shape. It needed a thorough clean and the person who had it before needs a good moisturizer, but it was absolutely worth the discount.
