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 really like this watch to this point. It gives me advantages over a basic watch without the cost and constraints of Apple Watch.

    I have a Google Pixel 6 but I didn't let that stop me from getting this watch. As long as you download the wearable app as well as Samsung health, you can get access to all of the features other than ECG. That being said, after getting everything set up, sleeping with the watch, and really appreciating all of its features, Samsung health started force closing anytime it was open longer than a few seconds. I factory reset the watch and uninstalled everything before setting it all back up again and it still didn't solve the problem. Fix your software.
