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 have to charge the battery twice a day It doesn't have as many health metrics as my fitbit charge 4 has I can't get direct access to data from my phone without going to watch first and going through several prompts until it says "Read on phone". I'd return it but, im past the 15 day period.

    Does everything it was expected to do. I'm not a fan of how the clasp has the band go in and underneath the strap. It can be awkward. A new strap could probably remedy this but would be nice to have a regular one out of the box. The charger has a tendency to only work when plugged directly into the wall even with a power strip.
