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.

    The charger for this watch does not fit the outlets previously used. This information was not given at time of purchase. If I did not have my old charger for the watch I traded the new watch could not have been charged, nor set up after I brought home......

    I am very disappointed with this watch and wish I would have bought another Garmin. I bought it because the specifications list ecg, BP and pulse oximetry. I was so disappointed that I cannot get the app to do ecg and BP because I don't have a Samsung phone. It didn't state in the specifications that I needed one to do it. It also only measures pulse ox at night or when you use the feature on the phone. I wanted continuous like my Garmin watch had. Also, the feature never works on my watch and tells me I am not doing it right even though I am doing exactly what I say.

    I decided to try the Samsung tracker when my current one died. Bery pleased with its versatility. So grateful to Christine from the Geek Squad for being so patient and helpful!

    My wife needed to move from her Fitbit and I already had Samsung Watch 4 Classic, which I like. She didn't want anything above 40mm as she has a small wrist - 44mm looked huge! Had it for a few months now and no problems.

    U cant go wrong with this watch! It has many great features.The claim is that the battery life is longer but I'm not quite sire about that. Make sure u get Total Tech with these new electronics! Definitely worth it!

    • Brand response from Samsung
      Posted .

      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

    Got the watch for my wife. She loves the watch but after a few months the batteries life is about half as long. It went from a solid 2 day life, now maybe 16hrs.
