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.

    One of the most customizable smart watches i have own. Ever since samsung switch to android wear os i have enjoyed the google play store, turn by turn directions with maps and more support for hundreds of apps. I also love how it looks like a watch.

    The watch is very nice. I upgraded from the 1st generation Galaxy watch, and this was an amazing update. The watch can make phone calls, answer calls, and serve as a way to communicate during phone calls. It has an improved speech to text feature. The band on this watch is very comfortable. I can actually sleep with the watch and not have issues with my arm at night. This is a huge change for me, because i can take advantage of the sleep tracking freature. I was unable to do this with the 1st generation model, because it was uncomfortable.

    Bought this for my mom for her birthday. She had the Active2 and it was giving her some trouble, so I caught this on sale. She loves it! She has trouble see some, but even being the smaller watch she can see really well on this.

    Big face so as I can easily read it. I like all the apps and other assories. So far it had a been a big help. I use the timers quite often at work.

    Works great. Connects to my phone well through the booth tube with no issue. I like that there are more options for the face so I change it as much as I like. And the battery life seems to last most of the day, which is important to me.

    my wife purchased this and love the ROUND face. She was a former Apple watch user. This is the SAME size screen as the PRO.. The bezels are smaller. Great battery life and durability. Buy a glass screen protector from amazon. Lots of accessories for cheap.

    Watch meets all expectations. Better yet i have not had a skin reaction to this watch like i have with many others. I was hesitant in my purchase because of this but i am in love with it. The features are nice and it's even waterproof!

    I bought it as a step tracker and EKG measurement. Does both well. I especially like that it sends the EKG to my Samsung phone, where I can save it as a PDF to show my doctor. I haven't activated it to take calls, but it does show notifications of my phone activity. Also keeps time.

    This was my very first samsung watch. I love everything about it. So i cant give like great review but i had it for a year so i recommend you get a screen protector that protects the metal so it won't get scratches.

    Watch was purchased "open box." Works well with no scratches or defects. I'm still having trouble with the notifications. I have everything selected to receive notifications when my phone is not in use, but I find the watch does not always get notifications from text messages or calls.

    I absolutely love this upgrade from my Samsung 2 watch. I love that it no longer have the bezel and have a more screen visibility. The watch band is very comfy. The battery life is good as well. I would recommend this product 100%

    I like the watch and size. However, the battery life is disappointing. I have to recharge every 2 days. This first Samsung watch. I had fitbits, Sense, whose battery lasted longer.

    I love this watch! The battery last so much longer than the active 2 I just replaced. Just wish Nike and Samsung would come to some agreement so I could add the Nike app to my watch for these fitness challenges.

    Galaxy watch charging problems

    The watch worked completely fine for the first 6th months. However now it takes a lot longer to charge up, i dont use it at all for anything else other some contactless payments (frequently not every day though) and logging my steps yet i can figure out why it takes only 12 hours for it be dead even when it is on 100% at the start of the day. Now it wont even charge properly. I put it in charging the whole night and i also made sure it was in the correct position yet it didnt charge at all.

    Love this watch. Keeps charge for a couple days. Can do almost anything that you would need to do on the go. Convenient and easy to use. I only wish I got the bigger size looking forward to an upgrade eventually

    Really wanted this watch, reviews and sales person said it can be used without phone. Maybe true, BUT CAN'T SET UP WITHOUT GALAXY PHONE. Returned it. Still paying off my iPhone. Went with Apple Watch. Should be able to use without phone, would have been happy using it free standing.
