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 am a HUGE fan of Galaxy Watches. This was my third. There is a pretty common complaint about this watch running hot and draining fast. Mine did both. I ended up with the Galaxy5 Watch Pro and am very pleased!
