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.

    Like most smart watches it works as advertised. The issue is that Samsung in all it's wisdom packages the watch with a charging cord that has only a USB C connector, so if you don't have a charger with a USB C slot don't plan on charging it. I would recommend the watch with this caution.

    Don't buy it for the health features.

    The watch looks cool, but I primarily chose it because of the health features. So far, I'm underwhelmed by them. The pulseoxemeter is very finicky - so finicky that I've only gotten it to work once after multiple attempts. Yet somehow, it gives me a reading when it is measuring my sleep. However, if it were an accurate reading, I would be dead from lack of oxygen. My old S8 has a pulse ox and it works very well. Not sure what the problem is with this watch. The ECG monitor requires you to have a screen lock, which I don't want to install on my phone. I think the security of my health information should be my choice, not Samsung's. So, since the product fails in the main reason I purchased, I'm giving it a bad review

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Galaxy Watch5 got over a week ago I had the 4 before this one, (returned it) got the 5 cause I thought this one was suppose to have a improved battery!! I love the watch, except the battery is still not good at all I'm lucky to get 12 hours out of watch, if you don't move your arm all day you will get more time, but I'm a person that uses my hands!! My husband got the Galaxy Watch5 Pro and his will last 2 days don't understand why they didn't use the bigger battery in all the 5's watches, like they did on the PRO!!!
