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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    My 1st Samsung watch

    I’m still trying to get used to the watch, it very nice did not think I would like it this big used to having a slim line. The band was not as long as I would like, so I ordered some online, I have a large wrist about 8” or slightly more. I’m old school prefer manuals, I guess will need to go online to see how to retrieve certain info. It’s suppose to automatically capture your exercises, one day it didn’t not sure why. The battery runs down fast, that I’m not used to. I like that I can see the time when I’m outside in the sun and features pertaining to heart . Oh, why can’t they provide an adapter to charge I’m switching between my phone and watch who gets charge first..lol. Overall I’m liking my watch
