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 bought this as a switch from my fitbit versa 2. I like it, but im not sure which is the better product. This watch has more "phone" features, such as better texting, recieving calls, etc. Fitbit has better features for health, like sleep quality. I dont think this watch counts my steps accurately, but I love its GPS capabilities.

    This is my third version of the galaxy watch. I love them to death. They’ve saved me in so many occasions, especially with my elderly parents. I would highly recommend they get better and better with each new version.

    Excellent watch! The display is bright and easy to read. The information and notifications are amazing! I left my phone in the car and as I walked away it notified me immediately and saved me the inconvenience of retrieving it later.

    Very good basic watch, particularly for the price. Syncs well with phone. However, it lacks some of the features that make Apple watches so popular, particularly for older people. There is no fall notification, or constant Afib monitoring. Hope that these features get added soon.

    Had to replace my wife's old watch due the bezzle coming off. This one is slightly larger but can definitely tell the sxreen is clearer and brighter. Her last one lasted 4 years. Lets see how many we ger out of this one.

    A bit of a learning curve coming from a loyal Fitbit user for many years. But am finally learning. It is very comfortable watch and the notifications and alarms are easy to manage. I think the health monitors are going to be very helpful. Overall a nice upgrade from fitbit

    Long battery life. Not much of a difference between the Samsung watch 4 and watch 5 except for skin temperature reading. I definitely recommend getting the extended warranty just in case.

    Great watch with so many capabilities. I was originally looking ro buy a fitbit because i have such a small wrist but this worked great and the round acreen works better for my wrist size. Very happy with my purchase.

    My Wife loves this watch, this is her second one. It does more than tell time. It helps with heath, scheduling, security, and also helps her keep track for my Diabetics! Plus a lot more.

    Love the watch it works great for what I need it for..i only use it to tell time, maybe check the weather and check messages so I don't use most of the other features. But i certainly feel like i can put my phone down and not worry I'll miss a call.

      Good day Edwardbaez01, thank you for finding the time out of your busy day to share your thoughts with us about your Samsung Galaxy Watch5. We value your honesty as we improve the design and functionality of our product line while we stay committed to constant innovation. Samsung provides a 12-month warranty on our products for manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. There are several reasons why your Galaxy Watch may be experiencing battery drain or have decreased battery life. For example, certain apps can increase battery consumption. Your Galaxy Watch5 and the Galaxy Watch4 models come with their own power saving mode. When enabled, this mode will limit several options in order to save battery life, such as Always On Display, Wi-Fi, and screen brightness. You can also turn on Watch only mode. Check out, "Reduced battery life on your Samsung smart watch" for some great tips on getting the most out of your Galaxy Watch5's battery. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or if you would like any further assistance. Thank you for being an unwavering Samsung customer. - Debra Samsung
