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.

    Love it so far! I have only used Fitbit's and this watch has so much more to offer. I do wish it came in more color options for the bands like the Fitbit does, but that's an easy fix!

    Superior quality watch from Samsung with many health tracking features. I bought the smaller diameter version to better fit my wrist, so usage time on a single charge is less than other models, about 1.5 days or so.

    I love this watch. I wish the battery lasted longer but, it gets me through a whole day. I would love the blood pressure and temperature options to work. Hopefully the FDA will approve these soon.

    I was blessed to get this for 50 dollars with a sale combined with a best buy certificate. Product works as intended, the pros is you can monitor your sleep, change interface with multiple choices to choose from, check your heart rate, use timers, answer calls, browse the web on a tiny browser and many other little features. Only con is that it does not support certain important apps like Follow for low blood sugar levels for people with diabetes. Apple watch does have that feature so I gave it a 4 star for that.

    I purchased my Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 smartwatch a few weeks ago to replace my Fitbit Sense that died after 14 months. So I love my Galaxy watch 5. I like the way I can track my exercises, lets me know when I have a phone call or text. What I like best of all is Best Buy's Totaltech membership. I have belong for several years and with the membership they double my warranty from 1 year to 2 years. They returned my money and I purchased the Samsung smart watch. I will not purchase another Fitbit product since they do not back their products even thought lots of people Fitbit Sense died less than 18 months old.

    It's a watch; you can send messages with it; it can track your progress for fitness/medication/goals; it can be an alarm/set up callendar dates; and, its customizable with photos or specific watch faces. Good enough for me and wasn't too expensive. Battery life for me is approx 2-3 days depending on how much you use it but on power saving can last a week+.
