Customer Ratings & Reviews

I've overall been very pleased with this purchase, especially as I got it on clearance (mine is an ex-display). It does more or less everything I've expected of it (monitoring heartrate and sleep were the big things for me, everything else like helping me manage medications and monitor my food intake is just a plus). Battery life is good after fiddling with power saving settings. I'm able to get about 2 days of charge out of it, and that's with it logging my heartrate every 10 minutes day and night. I just turned off functions that aren't useful to me to make up for it. My two real gripes with the Galaxy Watch5 are: 1) lack of blood pressure monitor. This feature is available in other countries but not the USA sadly. However, this seems to be more a factor of getting FDA approval rather than the product itself. 2) The strap it comes with is not as comfortable or durable as I would like. You can buy alternative straps, however for the price tag I would expect something that holds together a little better.

Got this for my wife as a present and she loves it. Battery last several days and helps her keep track of her fitness. She also like how well it shows all of her calls and messages so when she is at work she can just look at her watch and not have to pull out her phone all the time.

I love this thing! I wanted it to track my exercise, my daily steps, and my heart rate. It does exactly what I wanted and more. I wear it at night and it shows how I slept. It tracks my body composition: weight, muscle, fat. This watch is a HUGE motivator for me. I'm so glad I have it :)

Great quality! The watch is working as described and is making getting notifications from my phone so much more convenient. This allows an easy way to keep track of my steps and water intake giving me support for a healthy lifestyle.

Great addition to Galaxy eco system. Open box model came in new condition. Was easy to set up in under 30 minutes. Bands are comfortable and easy to change. Watch feels substantial without being bulky.

This is my everyday watch and im love it so far. Agree with the other user. Battery barely lasts two days but arent tou charging it everyday like yoir cell phone ? Its only takes 30min to 1 hr to fully charge it.

I love all the health tracking and options on the watch. The interface is user-friendly and i really like the personalization options for the watch face and apps. I only have mine using Bluetooth and wifi, and I feel like the connection between phone and watch isnt great. I don't get some notifications that I'd expect to get and I don't feel like the distance I'm able to go away from my phone is very far before they disconnect. I had a cheaper watch before that connected Bluetooth and I could go anywhere in my house with my phone staying in my room without problems. I can't do that with this watch which is frustrating. I didn't want to do the extra monthly fee of adding a line to my phone plan but I have considered it so that they could be connected more easily. Everything else about the watch is great honestly!

The OLED display is so crisp and beautiful! Fun choice of clock faces and the ability to add apps is amazing! Of course as is typical with Samsung, wish the battery life could be longer.

I like that I don't miss calls or text because my phone is in another room. I wish the battery lasted longer, have to charge it everyday.

Love everything about this watch except wish it stayed charged longer than 24 hrs ans wish i could figure out a way for it to show how many stairs i do

Great watch, easy to use. Band that cane with it was not comfortable, however it is easy to change out.

Has lots of great features but battery life is not compatible with using all the options. Needs to be charged every day or 2.

It's easy to use! I love the face choices! No problems connecting and receiving alerts!

Battery life is poor compared to other digital watches I've had. Barely lasts 24 hours. Runs for about 2.5 days on power saving mode. Good variety of watch faces to choose from and easy to customize notifications/"apps", but power saving mode makes the customizations obsolete. Due to the battery life, I removed all pre-installed apps/extras down to just the watch face, step tracker, and text notifications. On the bright side, the watch charges pretty quickly but I find it very annoying having to charge it daily. I'm not terribly enthused with the size of the watch itself either as it's rather large and bulky and is constantly getting caught on my sleeve. As far as performance, it operates smoothly, it's easy to check text notifications, and easy to set up. I spent half the amount on and wore my old watch daily and charged it once a week and it was great. This one has been sitting on my nightstand for the past week untouched because it died halfway through the day. I only bought this watch because I needed one with an analog face (my old one did not have that customization available) and I prefer smart watches over a traditional watch. I personally would not recommend or buy this item again primarily due to the horrible battery life.

Samsung was one of the 1st to have a phone that covered the entire display, even went around the edges. So, my question is why on something as small as a watch would you not use the whole display? I literally hate the bezel around the outside of the display on the Galaxy Watch 5. See picture. The Bezel takes 1/4 of the screen that is blank. Haven't decided yet if I will send it back? Come on Samsung. What a let down. For reference, I previously had a Huawei for 6 years that was great and did cover the entire display. Very disappointing Samsung.

I am enjoying my smart watch very much. I used to have a different brand but the wat h would only last 1 year. I am hoping samsung last a lot longer

Way better than expected! Battery could be better, but a great watch overall.

The watch looks and fits great. It does everything I want it to do.

I bought the Samsung 5 smartwatch aluminum 40mm with purple band a month ago. It was an open box. I'm happy to say this has been a great experience overall. The watch is doing exactly what it advertised. These are my findings: Battery lasts 24+ hours, so you need to charge every day. I wear it 24/7 and it is very comfortable for me. And it seems the materials are durable, but time will tell.

I wish the batttery life was a little better but overall works great and has alot of cool features
