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.

    My husband insisted he did not want a Galaxy watch but my daughter and I knew it would be so helpful in his line of work. I bought it for him for Christmas. After just 3 days he admitted he likes it way more than he thought he would. :) It is very convenient for him to quickly glance at the notifications rather than have his phone on vibrate all day.

    Its a blue tooth watch my faughter likes it because it does everything she needs and more without having to pay extra for a line or internet it pretty much does everything that a watch with line would do so i think im going to buy 1 for me now that we know exactly how this watch works and what it does and the price was fair i think.

    I have alwahs used Apple products. I recently bought the Samsung S23+, and decided to give up my Apple Watch. The Samsung Watch is actually really nice! Now I loved my Apple watch, and honestly my Samsung watch works great! Definitely worth the purchase!

    I've had this watch for 10 months. I haven't had any issues with it and I'm a large animal vet so my stuff (including my watches) take a beating. It gets hit by animals, washed, exposed to other harsh chemicals and no issues yet. The screen looks good as new.

    Huge improvement over the 2nd generation my wife had. She loves it. She loves that she now has a screen she can actually use to reply to text messages instead of grabbing her phone. Her only dislike is that when she turns her wrist, the Lock Screen is there and not the time and notifications. Will have to determine how to fix that.

    I'm quite pleased with this watch, it replaced a Samsung Galaxy active 2 watch which recently died. Pairing and charging have been simple, the weight and size aren't hugely different, which is nice, and almost all more former apps work well with it too.

    This watch works great. The heart rate tracker is very accurate and useful. I love the design and the quality of the display. I've been using it for 2 months now and have not had any porblems so far. I would definitely recommend for those that have an android and want a great smart watch.

    Ive been using the Galaxy Active2 for a while now and decided to upgrade to the Watch 5 and let me say that this watch is a great option! My only recommendation is to swap the band into something more comfortable compared to the stock one it comes with.
