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.

    Love it! It has been giving me the "we think you fell" message even tho I haven't. I just respond I didn't fall. I'm kinda animated so hope this does not become a problem.

    Owned two samsung watches in the last 5 years. Very hard on a watch. These watches hold up great, compared to a fitbit. Was changing fitbits every year until i made the switch to a samsung.

    The watch was a present for my wife. She loves it and has been happy with it - even got new watch bands. The people at Best Buy were very helpful in purchasing the watch.

    Watch face is big enough to see most items that it shows. The # of clock faces is plenty to have good choices from. The # of optional apps available is very good. Plenty of options to add apps.

    Smooth OS, Inaccurate sensors.

    This is good for convenience, but if you're looking for something to accurately track your health stats, then definitely look elsewhere. The OS is quick and smooth with lots of nice features. The problem though is I don't feel the sensors are accurate. Now my step count is short, and I never felt the sleep tracker was too accurate. I was up tossing and turning for over an hour and it recorded me as asleep that whole time when I was actually awake and frustrated with an elevated pulse.

    I went from the original Galaxy watch to this one and there's a huge difference. I like the new os and how the watch itself using as thick. Bought this for the B/P monitor which has to be side loaded but works pretty good.

    I decided to try the Samsung tracker when my current one died. Bery pleased with its versatility. So grateful to Christine from the Geek Squad for being so patient and helpful!

    Love the watch, the phone is scratchy when talking at times, and the battery doesn't stay charged as long as I would like. It requires charging every night. Over all i am enjoying it.

    Works well and strap is comfy. Battery life is good, can get about 2 days worth of use before charging. Seems to have good durability, I have hit it on a few things accidentally and there are no scratches or dents.

    Product is good but battery drains very fast. Eventhough changed settings to maximize the battery life, but no use. If need more battery life, this is not a good option at all

    Nice features and integrates well with Samsung phone. Battery life is mediocre at best. Will not last for two full days so must be charged daily like a cell phone.

    U cant go wrong with this watch! It has many great features.The claim is that the battery life is longer but I'm not quite sire about that. Make sure u get Total Tech with these new electronics! Definitely worth it!

    Bought this to use as a fitness watch. It has all the capabilities of my Samsung phone, which is not what I was purchasing it for. Because of all the features, battery lasts just barely over 1 day.

    Like the idea of everything this watch does but it dies on me . It can be fully charged and just die in a couple of hours. This is my second one and I won't buy another one.

    I love the features on this watch; however, I am disappointed that the battery does nor even last throughout a whole day. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but my battery runs down very quickly.
