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.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

    Don't buy it for the health features.

    The watch looks cool, but I primarily chose it because of the health features. So far, I'm underwhelmed by them. The pulseoxemeter is very finicky - so finicky that I've only gotten it to work once after multiple attempts. Yet somehow, it gives me a reading when it is measuring my sleep. However, if it were an accurate reading, I would be dead from lack of oxygen. My old S8 has a pulse ox and it works very well. Not sure what the problem is with this watch. The ECG monitor requires you to have a screen lock, which I don't want to install on my phone. I think the security of my health information should be my choice, not Samsung's. So, since the product fails in the main reason I purchased, I'm giving it a bad review

    Battery Life is very short. Need to charge daily, so miss data collection when charging. (Never a good time). Also, requires a Samsung charger and it doesn't work with the charger for my Samsung Galaxy SE20. Charger must be Unviversal C type.

    It's no good compared to the Galaxy Watch 3 Active that I switched for this. My messaging app will not sync to the watch, my music acts weird when I try to play it from the watch, and the face is only 40mm, while my watch 3 was 41mm. I'm just not a fan.

    A great product but miss the mechanical bezel from prior versions. A continued improvement from prior Samsung watch products but theres something missing when you remove the mechanical spinning bezel from the earlier versions of the Samsung watch
