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.

    Minimal instructions for setup. Had the watch several weeks and still not functioning. “Experts” at Best Buy didn’t even know if it came with a band and didn’t have any to sell us.

    Very good watch. I wish this doesnt have that negative effect on the human wrist when wearing for too long. I found that it may cause pain on the wrist and pfevent blood flow

    My 5 year old Galaxy watch was wore out. You could say I'm rough on it. The updated Galaxy 5 has been a nice upgrade. Better battery and a few new features.

    The watch functions as it should but the Touch Screen is terrible. I have used Samsung phones and the Touch Screen works very well. Not on the watch.

    On a learning curve right now. I'm not really a tech person, and it bothers me that the watch seems to do things on its own. Probably my fault, but still bothersome.

    I like it but the EKG app does not work with my Motorola. The app can only be downloaded on a Samsung or Galaxy phone. Did not have color I wanted for band.

    I have to charge the battery twice a day It doesn't have as many health metrics as my fitbit charge 4 has I can't get direct access to data from my phone without going to watch first and going through several prompts until it says "Read on phone". I'd return it but, im past the 15 day period.
