Customer Ratings & Reviews

This watch was great for about 2 years. The watch monitored all kind of things, like walking, swimming, workouts. It kept track of my sleeping and snoring and gave me a sleeping score. It has a heart monitor and body composition. I can get messages as well well as calls on it too. My only complaint is afyer 2 years, only holds charge for about 1 day.

This watch is great, it has a lot of features. I do like that it charges quickly, 20 minutes, but not that I have to charge is everyday. I do not really use that many features on it either. I am hopeful it lasts longer than my fitbits though and it should from what I have heard from others.

Great watch! Love the color! Also the features are amazing like tracking steps and heartbeat. Lasts all day just wish it would last a couple of days without a charge.

The 40mm size strikes a balance between being noticeable on the wrist without feeling too bulky, making it suitable for various wrist sizes and comfortable for daily wear. The watch features a vivid and sharp AMOLED display that renders colors beautifully and ensures excellent visibility, even in bright outdoor conditions.

From fitness tracking and health monitoring to seamless integration with your smartphone, this smartwatch offers a multifunctional experience. It includes fitness and health sensors for tracking workouts, heart rate, sleep patterns, and stress levels. The ability to receive notifications, control music, and use various apps directly from the watch enhances its utility.

The watch offers Bluetooth connectivity, enabling easy pairing with compatible smartphones. This connectivity allows users to make and receive calls, respond to messages, and access apps right from their wrist when connected to their phone. Powered by Samsung's Tizen OS, the Galaxy Watch5 delivers smooth performance and responsiveness. The interface is user-friendly, allowing for easy customization of watch faces, widgets, and app layouts. With a water-resistant design, this watch is suitable for swimming and showering, providing peace of mind for users who lead an active lifestyle.

I really wanted to like this watch, but the battery life was absolutely horrible. The first day it was dead within 18 hours. The second day after tweaking a bunch of things according to internet troubleshooting, it lasted 23 hrs. Not enough. Other than that the watch was great, very responsive, pretty accurate steps and hr. I liked that it was a hit smaller, my previous Garmin watch was huge and the pro 5 is pretty big comparatively. Unfortunately I just couldn't get past the battery life.... I returned it and got the 5 pro instead. All the same perks but I'm getting 2.5 days off it.

Overall a great watch! I enjoy the new updated features of all exercises thaf they have. I love tracking how many steps and body composition easily just with the watch. Very compatible with samsung phones and the app is easy to run. Battery life is kinda crappy. It dies every 1-2 days depending on how active you are with using it

I am definitely glad I purchased this watch. It is everything that I needed in a smartwatch. It's easily customizable and the sleep tracking. The only con I have is the battery life. I came from a Fitbit Versa that would last 4 days on a single charge. I have to strategically (typically when I am taking a shower or getting ready for work) so I am able to sleep with it overnight. However, the battery life is comparable to other smartwatches on the market other than the Fitbit Versa 3.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 combines stylish design with advanced health tracking and smartwatch features. Its vibrant AMOLED display offers clear visibility, and it boasts impressive battery life. With robust fitness tracking, sleep analysis, and seamless integration with Samsung devices, it's an excellent choice for users seeking a versatile and reliable smartwatch experience.

Purchased this watch for myself as a birthday gift. Ive loved it the first time i took it out the box to present 5/23/25. There are si many features on this watch that you can customize to you. Don't mention the different faces with color, style, digital and analog. My favorite features are counting my steps or whichever workout I'm doing it tells me how much calories burn, my heart rate

If my wife didn't leave hers on top of her car and wake me up at 3AM to go find it with Samsung find my device, I wouldn't have to buy another one. I am here to tell you that it's great! Unfortunately, I had to buy 2 of them! Battery life could be better. Other than that, excellent watch!

I love this watch. It does everything I need it to. It connects to my phone very well every single time. The battery lasts a long time. I can respond to peoples texts easily. It fits my wrist nicely and it doesnt bug me. I really like the features on the watch as well. I can easily take pictures via my watch, set alarms, reminders, etc. Overall ive had no complaints, definitely worth the buy!

It's a very nice smartwatch, but it doesn't do what I expected it to. If you just want a nice watch that allows you to use apps and handle phone calls (when connected via your smartphone), then it's great. I wanted it for the ECG, blood pressure, and body fat analysis features. The ECG doesn't seem to be terribly reliable (it often gives me messages that my reading is inconclusive, or once or twice it's said afib and my cardiologist said they were normal readings). It won't do blood pressure (their tech support people said that feature only works in the UAE, something that was never mentioned in any of the reviews). And I don't see how the body fat analysis can be reliable if it shows my muscle varying greatly from day to day. I also wanted it to give me stats for my exercise, but I got a lot more helpful stats from my former Garmin (I only switched to this watch because of the ECG/blood pressure/body fat analysis). If you're into running, sports, or workout stats, the Garmin is way more helpful. This watch is great for people who want more of a smartwatch that lets you use Google apps and such. Given that the features I bought it for are not very reliable, I anticipate going back to a Garmin for my next watch. Don't get me wrong, it's a very nice watch, but it doesn't do what I expected it to, and I need something that will give me better sport statistics. Also, while the battery is supposedly good for a smartwatch, it nowhere matched my former Garmin Venu, which would last 3-4 days before charging. I have to charge this watch every night, which is a PITA.

Nice design and there are a lot of possible functions to add and customize. However, not everything works well- for example, the stair counts stopped working after a few days, and that seems to be a common problem judging from other online reviews. It's also tricky to get the watch to sync with other apps that don't have a specific API for this version of the Galaxy Watch. Battery life is also not that great, but perhaps to be expected given how many functions this watch runs.

Wife loves it. Lots of features. Loves the color. Easy to set up.

Elegant cute smart watch.Got delivered to me on time.The battery finishes fast,i have to charge it daily

I love the watch, the battery is getting weaker only lasts 24hr or less now (it is 2 1/2 yrs old), Every couple of weeks I have to take it off for a day as it burns my wrist (don't know why). I especially like the EKG feature as well as the heart rate, and oxygen monitor. It gives great info on my sleep. Convenient to answer my phone (on the watch) when the phone is in the other room. A little hard to respond to test messages as the keyboard is small. I would buy this watch again.

I previously owned the Galaxy Active 2 and after a few years it stopped working after using it in the pool. I am so impressed by this watch. It has all the features of my old much and more. Very functional and fashionable. Also my Salesman Neil was awesome and helped me pick out the perfect product.

The perfect pairing for an android phone. I bought this as a gift for my wife's aunt who was staying with us as a nanny for 6 months. She lost her old smartwatch at a waterpark and we decided this would be a good gift to say thank you for her help. She absolutely loves it. It measures so many great metrics to help her with her fitness (she is a health fanatic!). It also has certain things to help her with managing her diabetes as well such as measuring skin temperature and heart measurements. It looks great and for a watch with so many features the battery life is phenomenal! Set up was super simple as well!

I bought this for my wife, for mothers day and she absolutely loves it. Shes upgrading from a Samsung Active 1, so it was a welcome upgrade for her. Pros: •Vibrant Screen •Easy Touch Sensors •Her insulin pump alerts go directly to her watch now, which allows for faster adjustment times. •Heat Sensors will be very useful for future body apps. •Quality build you expect from Samsung. •Screen is much more durable than her old model. •Sentive scroller makes accurately scrolling with the dial much easier and faster than previous models. •Solid magnet for the charger cable. •Very quick charge from >10% -100%! Cons: •Feels like a shinier version of the old watch. #Remake •Battery life isnt the best, but isnt "terrible". •Price. Not much to complain about really. She loves the watch and it does what she needs, she wears it every day. So good job Samsung, & thanks for the item Best Buy! I DO* Recommend This Item!! (*But not if you have the previous model, its probably not worth it in that case. Otherwise 100% a good product.)

I am not a power user, so all of the functions i need work well. I was concerned about which size was proper, and the 40mm fits a wrist 7inchs well. It's not too big or clunky. Sleep and mild exercise tracking works much better than on my old fitbit.
