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.

    On a learning curve right now. I'm not really a tech person, and it bothers me that the watch seems to do things on its own. Probably my fault, but still bothersome.

    I am very disappointed in the battery life. My classic 2 had a better battery. To use the sleep app you need to charge it before you go to bed. I’ve only had it a week so still playing with it. Don’t like the calendar on the 5 my classic 2 was better. I’ve read where others have problems with the calendar also. I’ll keep playing with it hopefully I can give it a better rating later

    I like it but the EKG app does not work with my Motorola. The app can only be downloaded on a Samsung or Galaxy phone. Did not have color I wanted for band.

    The battery life is horrible. It doesn't let the day. What's the point of a watch that doesn't stay charged.

    I’ve only had it a week, but I’m loving it so far. Very easy to read and setup. Battery is not as long as I expected. Otherwise it’s a great watch.

    It doesn’t record the steps correctly. Certainly doesn’t stay charged for at least two days and irritates my wrist.
