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 a previous galaxy watch which I really liked. It was several years old and I decided to upgrade. I am very happy with my new Galaxy 5. I like the reminder to move after a certain amount of time (I'm @ a desk all day) and the other apps. Like my Samsung products

    So I like this watch a lot! I was worried that it would hold a charge, but it last well over 24 hours! I didn't like the color, but bought it without having to wait for a delivery. I've since gotten compliments on the color. At first I didn't like the watch band, but now I really like it. I picked the smaller size, because I'm a woman. I thought I wouldn't be able to read the information, but no problem at all. I like all the health/medical features, although I still don't know how to use all of them. Working on it! It also charges pretty fast. I hope I don't fall, but I've already set up that feature to text my two kids and neighbor in case I fall and I need help. Yes, I'm very happy I purchased this smart watch!

    Glad I finally bought the galaxy watch. I love being able to send texts & making calls from watch. It's been working great. I get all my notifications. The strap was a bit short for me but I purchased longer ones in different colors.

    The interior and the functionality is superb. The battery stays long one thing though, make sure to buy type c wall charger with it, it comes with the island charger only but if you opt out of buying that you can still charge it plugging the island cable to your Samsung device.

    Huge improvement over the 2nd generation my wife had. She loves it. She loves that she now has a screen she can actually use to reply to text messages instead of grabbing her phone. Her only dislike is that when she turns her wrist, the Lock Screen is there and not the time and notifications. Will have to determine how to fix that.

    I'd been looking for a smartwatch for a while now and once I came to Best Buy I found it. I bought the Galaxy Watch5 and I'm loving it. It is so comfortable and counts my steps perfectly. I cycle, walk, aerobics, weights, and many more exercises and this watch recognizes each one. It has great free watch faces and you can change the band if you want. It tracks my sleep, heart rate, body composition, stress, water, and blood oxygen. And it connects to my Samsung A53 5g perfectly. I did buy a screen protector just case. I would highly recommend this smartwatch.

    This was an upgrade from a Fit2 watch. I love the new features. I like it is more watch than fitbit style. Looking forward to getting new bands to change up the look. Even without adding a line I can still use the watch to answer calls through bluetoooth connection.
