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 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 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.

    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!

    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.

    I thought this would be an upgrade from a Garmin that I had for almost 3 years but the battery life on this Samsung is disappointing. That's why I gave it 3 stars.
