Many appreciate the watch's design, features, and sleep tracking capabilities, along with its lightweight and comfortable fit.

    Buyer Beware! Open-box = Trouble

    Buyer beware: My "open box" watch in supposedly "excellent" condition was shipped poorly packed, with no original packaging, a non-working charger (for a 1st/2nd gen watch), and a watch that was unable to pair with my phone. It also took a week to get here, even though I paid extra for the 2-day shipping. Just a total disaster of a purchase...

    Battery life is about half my original version Samsung Galaxy Watch. Prior Watch would last 4 days on a charge, this model must be recharged every other day.

    I have not worn a watch for several years. After seeing the new Samsung Galaxy watch 5, I was intrigued. Have been using a few days now and have not had any issues. Maybe just one issue. I tried adding the Samsung email app and found it was not compatible with the watch, but it does work on my phone. I have this paired to my Samsung Galaxy S20+. It connected good to the phone and does not loose a connection, in fact it even stays connected when I am a Room away from the phone. The watch has good response to touch, sometimes too good and I have to adapt to just how easy and fast it is to scroll through screens. A minor learning curve. Screen gets very bright when adjusted to max brightness. Feels great on my wrist, very comfortable and light weight and maybe that is why I stopped wearing watches (Old style) but I am really enjoying this watch. It is very stylish and makes a bold statement of luxury. Battery life so far has lasted 2 days when left on continually with moderate use. Very good considering I do use all the health apps including sleep monitoring. It monitors O2, snoring events, heart rate and such. Tracks my steps better because I don’t always walk around with my phone. There is a full spectrum of ways the watch helps you with monitoring, recording and making health Suggestions. With 16GB Memory and 1.5GB Ram seems to be a perfect combination for my needs. Right now I have about 40 apps on the watch. Also the watch does charge up quite fast. Really like the included Wireless Magnetic charger. The best part for me is the phone notifications on my watch and the ability to respond to emails and phone calls and text’s. No longer digging my phone out of my pocket. Media control is cool as well. There are already bezels and screen protectors on the market which I have installed and considering other colors for the bands. This is Great tech at a reasonable price.

    I love this watch! The battery doesn't last very long, not even 24 hours. I have bigger wrists so I went with the 44mm. Its a little big and I should have went with the 40mm.

    I really like this watch! There are so many new apps on it, some of which include; ECG, blood oxygen, GPS, compass, snore recording, body fat and more. I was excited to get that out, so now back to the begining. Unboxing: It's now packaged in a long, minimalistic box that contains the Smart watch a new C type charger and a quick start guide. The charger doesn't come with an adapter for you to plug in the wall, fortunately I just plug it into my phone's charging port to charge. This may be a negative issue for some. The watch: I have the large 44mm face, which on a small wrist is pretty big, just the way I like it. The first thing you notice is no more physical bezel! I kind of miss that as that was the feature I really liked about my rose gold 4 watch. That said, it's important to note that the bezel is actually virtual on the face, I'm ok with it now...LOL. The only thing I have to get used to now is that the back button is now on the bottom. When I turn it on it immediately synced with my phone and gave me options to keep or delete whatever I wanted, nice. The display I feel is not as crisp as the classic 4 but that may be because its 2mm bigger than my old one and my eye just needs to adjust to that. It started out of the box with a full charge and after 27 hours I still have a 55% left after continuous night/day wear. The speaker on the watch is more than decent, and loud enough to hear the person talking in a small crowd. Conclusion: overall, this watch does everything, and more that I would expect. I feel that Samsung knocked it out the park.
