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.

    Very pleased so far. This watch replaced a fitbit and the sale msde it worth giving it a shot. Excellent connectivity. Nice choice of watch faces. Wish battery life was a bit longer but not a game changer. It's new so rating durability is not valid.

    It's a nice watch. Everything but the ECG feature works with my Pixel phone (you'll need to explicitly download / update Google Assistant in the play store on the watch). You'll need to decide if this watch is worth the premium over the Galaxy Watch 4, since there aren't too many differences.

    This watch has everything you need! Message, take calls via Bluetooth, control music, take your heart rate, track your sleep, and much more! This watch may be a generation old, but it just relieved the newsest UI 5 samsung upgrade!

    I love this watch! I'd had the Galaxy Active 2 for about 5.5 years and its screen literally just came apart after I went swimming. I was in desperate need for a good replacement and being #TeamSamsung #OnABudget, I purchased this watch "open box". It was an EXCELLENT deal and the watch was brand new in its original box with all its original parts. It is quite the upgrade from the Active 2, I will say. I get 2 full days of battery use (including when I work out for 1.5 hours) and I like the ability to have quick conversations via the watch. The voice to text in responding to messages is not great, but it is a minor issue for me because its keyboard can Swype. I love everything about this watch and I highly recommend it.

    Samsung watch 5

    So far, the watch is great. I can go 2 - 2 1'/2 days without charging it, longer would be nice but it's manageable. The heart rate, ecg and sleep seem to be accurate, and they are the reason I chose this watch. The band leaves gaps on both sides of my wrist, which is 6", so it's not as comfortable as I would like.

    A ton of functionality. Like the round bezel. Battery life is noticeably lower than Fitbit sense 2, but can significantly improved when used in battery saver mode which is what I do. This, however, does keep display always on.

    Bought for fitness tracking, but phone integration is nice. Didn't want to pay top dollar for current gen. Screen is a bit of a pain to use at times, but otherwise a great buy for the price

    Samsung Galaxy watches are so much better than the Fitbits we used to have. We like all the health monitoring it does, esp the stages of sleep. Battery life isn't the best, have to charge twice a day at times. Have to set the settings on low to preserve the battery to get thru the day.

    I love it. Great job tracking my sleep patterns, eating, can get phone calls and texts on watch. I have found it has become a part of my life within a week. The only thing that could be better is battery life.

    After having a Fitbit Charge 3 for 4-5 years I bought the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 and it is a huge upgrade. It is pretty much a smart phone on your wrist. Still haven't used it to its full potential, but it almost has as many features as a smart phone. Really glad I upgraded.

    Affordable, my boyfriend loves his watch, he originally purchased a way cheaper watch from Amazon and couldn’t do anything with it, with this one, he can text and answer calls, most importantly, he uses it to track his sleep and health
