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 bought this watch to replace an older Galaxy watch that stopped working. It has several new features that the old watch didn't have, which I like. Battery life is short like others have mentioned, but I have developed a routine where I drop it on the charger every other morning and it fully charges in about an hour. I like how it connects to Samsung Health on my phone and gives me details on things like exercise, sleep, heartrate, etc.

Best watch for exercise and other personal use! I love how it's easy for me to track my exercise routines and transfers the data to my phone. It's really comfort to have on and it doesn't get in the way of me completing tasks. And the battery life last a long time, where I need to charge my watch every other day, even after all day use.

I've had this watch for about a year now and it's been really good. I upgraded from the Samsung watch 3 for this one. The battery life does run down slightly fast, but that's the only complaint.

I had one of the older watches that I got rid of due to not liking the size and didnt see myself using it that often. However this time around I got the correct size and have been enjoying it alot. Its very comfortable to the point that I sleep just fine with it. My favorite part about the watch is I can use it to see how poorly I sleep.

I love my watch! This is the first smart watch I've ever owned but its great. It fits well, charges fast, and has most of the features I need. I love the exercise tracker because it helps me keep track of the calories i burn as I run or lift weights. I got a new band from Amazon to help me customize it.

I've had this watch for a couple weeks now and I like it! It's my first smart watch (besides a basic FitBit) and I'm still learning about everything it can do. I'm very impressed so far. The screen is so clear too. The battery isn't amazing, but it will get you through a full day. It's not really a problem if you're fine with charging it every night.

Very Happy with My Purchase

I figured my Galaxy Watch 2 was meeting my needs, I passed on succeeding new watches. The 2 gave me the time, the number of steps, etc. After reading reviews by the "experts", and more important to me, the reviews of everyday users like me, I was impressed enough to purchase the Galaxy Watch 5. Samsung developed an excellent product. The screen is vibrant. The watch face I use gives me all the relevant information I want...battery, date, steps, and weather. A swipe-up brings up the icons of the apps connected to the watch. It is so, so simple. Swiping to the right on the watch face goes through whatever apps you set up. For me, in two swipes, I'm at the exercise module I want to be at. The health monitoring functions are excellent and easy to use. Staying in the Samsung environment is definitely a plus.
Adding the Galaxy Buds 2 was incredibly easy. Easy because I didn't have to do anything. The Bud's icon "magically" appeared on my watch. The watch has a beautiful display, connects to all my email and text apps, and so far has been problem-free. The battery easily, easily, easily goes a day with no problem.
A shout out to Best Buy...thank you for outstanding service and competitive prices. I don't need Amazon when a Best Buy store is 10 minutes away, and you get to speak to a person instead of a computer. Thank you Best Buy.

Sleek smartwatch. I had the "classic" before. Miss the turning bezel. But for the options available in my wrist size, this is good. I purchased a screen protector and bezel protector due to it being made out of aluminum. Works great. I like the new wrist band they way it tucks inside the strap instead of it flapping with movement.
