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.

    Love my Galaxy Watch 5. It is sleek and beautiful. Easy to use. Love that I can send information to my phone. It is great to put your own pictures as the watch face. Highly recommend this watch.

    Light weight, accurate, can update at will with bluetooth. Can disconnect GPS or combined with bluetooth, keep you located for security reasons. Changeable bands with a new design allowing the band extension to be next to the skin as compared to a (watch) band where the band is on the outside. Depending upon what sensors one has operating, battery life is good for a day or longer depending upon how often it accesses Bluetooth capability and your personal updates.

    Really great experience so far with this device. Display is very clear, fit is comfortable and non-fatiguing. The purple is pretty accurate in person as it is shown on screens.

    Not good Watch

    Watch 5 is just a little bit of an improvement over Watch 4. My main problem with Watch 5 is the "narrow" temperature range under which it will run (40F -90F)... it is a sports watch! Many people with exercise/hike outside when the temperature is outside of this range! Additionally, Samsung has added a touch sensitivity option that "supposedly" makes you able to select on screen with "gloves on". That option doesn't even work with my bare fingers... and by the way, why would you need gloves in temperatures above 40F? (the watch will not work below that temperture)... I would advise skipping this product if you intend to do much outdoor recreation....

    Great Features, poor battery management. What is the point of a smart watch if you have to disable all the smart features to get it to last 8 hours between charges?

    Easy set up and easy to use. I'm getting used to the different functionalities but I'm liking it. The font is a little harder to read but a larger face maybe too big for my frame.
