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.

Battery life is meh, but at least it does last a day. App access and variety is solid (Roku controller is cool), and customization is pretty robust with 3rd party bands/case covers and watch faces. Screen doesn't take up entire watch face, which isn't a big deal in terms of viewing information like time and stats and whatever, but is definitely noticable in menus and screens when things get cut off and trying to type things. Lack of physical bevel was enough to make me want to return though, and navigating with haptics alone is doable, but not always smooth.

I purchased the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 . Charge last a day. Would eventually like a smart watch with longer battery life. For now, happy with the purchase.

I like this watch a lot. It gives great information all around, like sleep and exercise. I give it 4/5 because the watch can't detect anything about health or sleep through tattoo ink, which sucks since i wear it on my wrist that has a tattoo on it and cannot wear it on the other side.

Bought one for each of us. Looking to replace our Halo device. This isnt cheap but neither is the benefits of this. It has everything, the ECG is done in 30 seconds& identified possibke Afib, which turned out to be correct. You can track your food, execise, email,text,blood pressure, sleep, music earbuds,weather etc. We did get additional bands for a more versatile fit& look. I HIGHLY recommend this device to companion with your phone.

It seems to be good, wish there was more of an owner's manual to get all the features from this watch. I feel like I was googling so much for the first several weeks and it was just basic stuff. Most days I can't make 24 hours on a single charge, which sucks! Now wondering if I should have gotten the larger 44mm with a bigger battery and possibly long battery life - but I just didn't want the big size of the 44 mm. Hoping to love it more as time goes on.

Previously I’ve had 3 other smart watches of a different brand which didn’t last but 2 years max. I decided to go with this watch to sync with my phone. It definitely was a good choice for me. The only thing I would have done differently is get the 44mm instead of the 40mm. I really like it and would buy one again. I do charge it a couple of times a day but it charges quickly so that isn’t an issue with me.

This watch ended up being the perfect size for my wrist (and that's hard to find in my case) and has the features I was looking for in a smartwatch. It pairs easily with my Samsung Galaxy phone and has been a real trooper for battery life!
The watch gained a small nick in the edge of the glass from colliding with a stone countertop on day 2, but it's not really noticeable.
I've been unable to get a good EKG reading off the watch, but all other functions work perfectly.

This is my first major smart watch purchase and I absolutely love this watch. I used to only have a budget fitness tracker I ordered from Amazon that was pretty inaccurate, but this watch has been everything I hoped for and more. I hear a lot of people complain about battery life, but I get throughout the day on a full charge and still have at least 15%. Fantastic buy!

I bought this as a gift for my daughter who's a college track runner. She love the watch because of its sports design and it feels light on her wrist. She says that the watch makes it easy to run on a track with the Samsung health track workout function which times her from stat to the finish of her race.

Really like my watch. I've had a fitbit versa 2 abd and Apple watch 6. Though I liked both of them, I prefer my Samsung watch since I have Samsung phone. I'm always misplacing my phone, so love that I can find it easily with my watch and also answer calls when I can't locate my phone. There are other features outside of exercise tracking I like as well like ECG, sleep monitoring, etc. The only thing I don't like is the short battery life

So far I love it. I upgraded to this from my Galaxy watch Active 2 and am still discovering the differences. I like the fit better than my older one (they're both the 40mm) which is nice because I have thin wrists and the 2 felt bulky and I don't even notice I have the 5 on. Battery life is good. The only thing I'm irritated with is having to buy a seperate adapter. I just ordered one and am using my charging dock from the 2 at the moment. Otherwise I'm happy so far.

It's tracking and usage is very easy and nice. Battery could have been better for the 40mm.
