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 not a power user, so all of the functions i need work well. I was concerned about which size was proper, and the 40mm fits a wrist 7inchs well. It's not too big or clunky. Sleep and mild exercise tracking works much better than on my old fitbit.

    My girlfriend loves! She previously had the s3 classic but felt it was to big and heavy for her hand. This size is great for small wrists. She personally was okay with the bezel being removed but for most people I'm sure that will be a missed feature. All in all great watch!

    I love my Samsung galaxy 5 smartwatch. I love how it tracks my steps, keeps track of my pulse and oxygenation while i am active. The only downside was battery life of 1 day until i learned about power saving mode. It last 3 days now

    Seamless connection to my Galaxy S21. I wish it had Messenger or Discord integration but you are able to respond to messages which is good enough I suppose. Fitness trackers work well. Battery life with fitness tracking turned on doesn't reach 50 hours, probably closer to 30 hours. Takes around 1 hour for a full charge.

    Great watch, but the technology has progressed so much since it came out. It is nice and light and easy to wear battery life is pretty good. A few dings around the bezel, overall it is pretty durable.

    This watch is the best thing i've ever purchased. The fact that i have the ability to answer phone calls on my watch is amazing. I also have the ability to track my phone when i can't find it. It doesn't have a long battery life but it does charge really fast.

    This watch was a Mother’s Day gift and since that time my wife hasn’t taken it off except to give it a charge. She adores it and let me know that it’s extremely light weight and easy to use! Excellent product for the money with added value!

    It's really nice watch. On the positive side, it looks very sleek. 40 MM is a perfect fit for small hand. On the negative side, I am missing the dial around, since I was using the classic version. I felt the sleep capturing is not perfect, I need to analyze further.

    So much lighter than the original watch! Wow! I do miss the bezel selector from the original watch but this new one is overall a better product. Almost zero lag, and great integration with my Galaxy phone. Very happy so far.

    Very easy to set up and use. It really frees my hands up at work in the medical field to have access a timer, calculator, and even a calorie marker i can use for my patients. Easy to wear. I have really small wrist bland the 40cm was exactly what i needed.

    This was an upgrade for me from my old "Galaxy Watch" 46MM. I love the downsize to be honest (I'm a female and my fiance was sweet enough to pass his along previously). It is a BIG change - basically like having a concise phone on wrist. Battery life is so/so: I receive minimal notifications - texts, calls, motion etc and the battery is usually around 50-60% when I charge it at night. The screen is gorgeous, and it's speak to text quality is far better. One thing I cannot figure out is how to turn off the call waiting notification from the watch. I haven't put in to much effort but it drives me crazy hearing the beep of an incoming call on my wrist while I'm on the phone. That's something my old watch didn't do and no matter whether it's muted or turned off it still seems to do it. I'm not a fan of the rubber band, but it is comfortable and the color is so pretty too. Overall - I'm much happier with it and appreciate his thoughtfulness on keeping me up to date with technology and fashion.

    Great features, really nice watch . Didnt give 5 stars because it pains me to wear it all the time. Im sensitive to the scanning it does. Ill get pain in my wrist and ill check and its scanning me. Didnt pain me right away but long use it does . The same reason i stopped wearing my other watch. Its almost a waste of money for me but i like nice things so i bought it.
