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 series 2 before and this one is similar but better. I love the newer watch faces and all that is can do is amazing. Connecting is easy and it runs smoothly.

    I love this watch! The color is just right. I can track my heart rate and blood oxygen levels and steps among other great benefits. It syncs with my Galaxy S21 phone. It is a very smart investment indeed.

    I will not give it 5 stars because the design is not as cool as the old active watch. But this watch is high performing and the battery life is very long. I go on average 2 full days without charging it. Many new features too.

    Owned two samsung watches in the last 5 years. Very hard on a watch. These watches hold up great, compared to a fitbit. Was changing fitbits every year until i made the switch to a samsung.

    Best thing I could’ve ever bought is this watch. Always being in touch with my partners and especially the little setting that notifies me about their health is the besttt.

    Watch face is big enough to see most items that it shows. The # of clock faces is plenty to have good choices from. The # of optional apps available is very good. Plenty of options to add apps.

    I went from the original Galaxy watch to this one and there's a huge difference. I like the new os and how the watch itself using as thick. Bought this for the B/P monitor which has to be side loaded but works pretty good.

    The way it drains battery is just too much! I have to charge this watch everyday if I want to use it before working out.
