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.

    The watch has been working great! All of the features are working with one slight minor issue. At times, the watch will automatically start the running exercise when I'm not running. It may be due to the hand motion sensor. For example, when im rocking my baby to sleep, it thinks that I'm running. Other than that, I love the watch.

    Cheating Customers

    I was cheated on this purchase, this review is for the Galaxy Watch 5, 44 mm, I bought as marketed as brand new but while registering with Samsung learned that what sold to me was used one without full 1 year of warranty remaining. I hate to say but I was cheated. I tried to reach to customer service but they did nothing and not provided any meaningful solution. That was so embarrassing specifically when you gift someone and they think gifter after using it even though it's not true at all.

    This an upgrade from having a Gear4 and I love the added fitness list and having it show on the watch. The health app is better. The water lock is a must use!

    I have a Google Pixel 6 but I didn't let that stop me from getting this watch. As long as you download the wearable app as well as Samsung health, you can get access to all of the features other than ECG. That being said, after getting everything set up, sleeping with the watch, and really appreciating all of its features, Samsung health started force closing anytime it was open longer than a few seconds. I factory reset the watch and uninstalled everything before setting it all back up again and it still didn't solve the problem. Fix your software.
