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 am not a power user, so all of the functions i need work well. I was concerned about which size was proper, and the 40mm fits a wrist 7inchs well. It's not too big or clunky. Sleep and mild exercise tracking works much better than on my old fitbit.

    My girlfriend loves! She previously had the s3 classic but felt it was to big and heavy for her hand. This size is great for small wrists. She personally was okay with the bezel being removed but for most people I'm sure that will be a missed feature. All in all great watch!

    It's really nice watch. On the positive side, it looks very sleek. 40 MM is a perfect fit for small hand. On the negative side, I am missing the dial around, since I was using the classic version. I felt the sleep capturing is not perfect, I need to analyze further.

    Seamless connection to my Galaxy S21. I wish it had Messenger or Discord integration but you are able to respond to messages which is good enough I suppose. Fitness trackers work well. Battery life with fitness tracking turned on doesn't reach 50 hours, probably closer to 30 hours. Takes around 1 hour for a full charge.

    So much lighter than the original watch! Wow! I do miss the bezel selector from the original watch but this new one is overall a better product. Almost zero lag, and great integration with my Galaxy phone. Very happy so far.

    Very easy to set up and use. It really frees my hands up at work in the medical field to have access a timer, calculator, and even a calorie marker i can use for my patients. Easy to wear. I have really small wrist bland the 40cm was exactly what i needed.

    This was nice and all - but I ended up returning and going for the galaxy watch 6. The new one has smaller bezels - so its screen fits more between the older 40 and 44 size - which was perfect. Otherwise this was basically the same watch - great health tracking, easy to use, and notifications on your wrist. This was surprisingly life changing - now I can keep my phone on vibrate - but never miss calls or important texts. Unintuitively - being more connected / tethered with the watch has made me less glued to technology/my phone since I don't need to worry about missing an important message / call for work or from my family ;)

    Best choice I've made with a smartwatch

    Upgraded from a Fitbit and couldnt be happier! The set up process was a breeze and fairly user friendly. Having a galaxy smart phone and pairing it with the galaxy smartwatch was probably the best move I could have made. The two work nearly perfectly together and I never have to fight with sync issues like I would have to with my Fitbit. The only downside is the battery life, but thats something that is easily looked over since I just charge it when I take it off to shower, or when I'm juat hanging around the house. Highly suggest anyone to upgrade if theyve been thinking about it!!

    Good watch same ceatures as other models, battery only lasts about a day though so you'll have to recharge it every night. The colors are crisper and features are easy to work.

    **NOTE** I returned the 40mm watch and purchased the 44mm version as I have a bigger wrist and liked the slightly bigger size of the screen information. Needed a new smart watch and this one fit the bill. Ease of use setting it up and once I got the hang of being able to find the app I wanted was perfect. Even when I upgraded my Galaxy phone to a newer model, connecting the phone was as easy as my ex girlfriend. Battery life is great, as I usually top it off overnight. I can’t sleep with the watch on to monitor my sleep.
