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.

    A big upgrade from the active watch. Love the fact that I can easily text. Sound and display is absolutely amazing. Battery Life is amazing. Love all that the watch tracks as well!

    I like how it is tailored to my Galaxy 22 phone making notifications and updates easy to do on my wrist. Good use for workouts tracking everything I do. Not a bad investment

    It would be a decent smart watch if it stood charged long enough to last the whole day. All settings are put at its lowest which you shouldnt have to do.

    Cheating Customers

    I was cheated on this purchase, this review is for the Galaxy Watch 5, 44 mm, I bought as marketed as brand new but while registering with Samsung learned that what sold to me was used one without full 1 year of warranty remaining. I hate to say but I was cheated. I tried to reach to customer service but they did nothing and not provided any meaningful solution. That was so embarrassing specifically when you gift someone and they think gifter after using it even though it's not true at all.

    This watch paired and works with the Samsung Fold phone but it has confusing control over the phone and its settings until you learn to check your watch to understand confusion on the phone. The health features do work.

    I wouldn't recommend this watch. It only notified me of texts 50% of the time and kept notifying me that i had been working out for 10 minutes when i had been sitting or driving my car.

    Of course, i set to battery efficiency and. got it for about 2 days with 30% left. I was contemplating between Fitbit and this. I guess I made the right decision

    This an upgrade from having a Gear4 and I love the added fitness list and having it show on the watch. The health app is better. The water lock is a must use!

    Great watch. Bought this watch for my wife to replace her Watch3. She did not like the last watch because it was too heavy. Lish one is so much lighter and she loves it.

    Best watch I have ever owned. Got it the day it released. Have had some updates already. Best part is that watch covers from the galaxy watch 4 fits the galaxy watch 5.

    I enjoy this watch very much. I would certainly recommend to a friend. The battery to me last until i am ready for bed. I can sleep in it without concerns of battery life. My last watch wouldn't make it pass 830pm.

    While the condition was mentioned as excellent and I did biy in past open box, this one disappointed me a lot as it was a gift I was planning to give and it turned out to be damaged as the watch did fall on a rough surface and then returned. Scratches are understandable but watch being scraped does leave a very bad marks
