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.

Watch comes in various sizes. The one i chose was a 40mm face. Confortable fit. Durable watch band. Vibrant display. Health and fitness tracker along with mire trackers. Built in GPS. You can make calls, respond to messagesand control compatible apps. Great battery life (Depending on how you use it). Overall i was a well spent purchase!! Great for a gift or personal use.

Really good watch with lots of exceptional features. Only issue is that it doesn't come with a charging plug. Salesman didn't mention that. Had to return to Bestbuy to purchase separately for $15.00

(9) days watch 4
Oct 22
Excited to see all this watch 5 does.
I really am liking the minimizing my phone in my hands. It feels lighter freer.
I'm ok charging daily if use "always on" face feature.
I tried the mesh band. It was stiff to turn my wrist. Returned before I left the block. Bought the leather for $15. Nicer than the pink. Bought the black silicone on ebay.
It feels so compact like when pagers came out except more features and technology on your wrist. A mini computer. Loveit. Samsung girl!!!
■Cons
Initial challenge to learn
10/27/22 day 5 (watch 5)
@day 4 the notification on watch would stop without me and the phone notification would continue.
@5 days on watch 5, face changed without me -rebooted- same involuntary face still applied. Changed back to my choice. No problem since.
●Can't get Google assistant to work still.

LOL better late than never.
Its nov. 23, 2024
This watch is still ticking lol so to speak..., its taken more than a few lickings. Still going strong. The only problem I had was the instructions were minimal and microscopicly impossible to read. As a result I have not discovered all the possibilities .

Perfect solution for counting my steps and my sleep time. I hold myself accountable if not going to meet steps/miles completed per day.

I never really wanted a smart watch until recently. My current job requires me not to have my phone on while working, so I decided to get a watch to partner back with my phone. My Dad has dementia so I needed to be able to receive notifications should he need me. This watch has been awesome! I'm still learning all of the features. But I love the step tracker as well as the ease of adding/deleting tiles to customize the watch to my needs. And the option of customizing the face with photos of my choice is great! I love it!

Bought this for my wife, a little over a month ago, to replace the previous version from 2020 and she loves it. Not sure what happened to the old one, but she complained about battery life and the screen flickering. Since the warranty was up, I figured an upgrade was due. She has nothing but praises for this new version. Battery life is better and answering from her wrist, like she is Agent 99, is awesome. Not sure what Samsung did differently, but Thank You.
