    Solid watch, decent battery life. Doesn't have the rotating bezel but the screen is a good size and the OS is better than the previous versions. Setup is easy, and I am using it with a Samsung s22 ultra with no issues. Just pick up a bumper cover and a screen protector and you're good to go.

    THE GREAT WATCH5

    I had a Samsung Galaxy Watch4 40 mm and I got the Samsung Galaxy Watch5 44mm, I actually love the 44mm better. The Watch5 is so much better in my opinion. I thought the 44 would be too big for my wrist since I have a very thin wrist but it looked fine, so glad I purchased the Watch5 in the 44mm. Also, I used my watch practically all day for about 12 hours and it still had battery for the next day.

    My first smart watch and it's really nice! I mostly use it to track my meeting times at a glance and it's nice to see if you're stressed or not. It charges really fast and battery lasts a good amount of time, then it just takes 40 minutes on the charger and it should be 100% again. Just make sure to get a case for it and a screen protector.

    I had on eye on this watch for a very long time, after seen my sister with the same one and the way it looks on her I ran to the store and get one for myself. it is so nice looking and all the features are great. I love that I can personalized the background with my pics and the way they look. I little bit pricey for my but worth it.

    Best choice I've made in wearables so far. The battery lasts me a bit over 2 days with Always on Display on. It's shockingly durable yet light feeling. The included charger completes the charge much quicker than the Watch 4 Classic charged up! Another bonus for owning this.

    Works great, got it a great price due to the samsung galaxy 6 watch being already released. Its the older gen watch but i heard the battery lasts longer and charges faster and so far no complaints. Is a little bit big for my tiny wrist but i know i can buy a smaller band if i want.

    Solid upgrade from Gear S3

    The good: Coming from an S3 Frontier, the change to Google software is a huge improvement. The previous Tizen software was slow and felt clunky. I thought I would miss the rotating bezel and for some things I do. But once you get used to the interface navigating is pretty fluid without it. Battery life is excellent. Without always on display I can stretch it to 2.5 days. With AOD on it will make it a full day. I no longer need to wear a chest strap heart rate monitor. I tested the watch against a polar chest strap and it was within 2 BPM, just a bit slower to respond The not so good: The paint on the aluminum housing wears off. I wear this everywhere and the paint around the screen has worn off on the edge. If I did it over again I would likely buy the titanium one (unless that's painted too). I miss the old charging stand that the Gear S3 had. The one that comes with this is just a puck on the end of a usb-c cord. Overall I'm happy with the purchase. As long as you don't mind some paint wear, you should be too.

    Best Smartwatch Ever!

    I love this smartwatch! If I didn't have this watch, I would never be able to find my phone, and it would take too long to find my phone. I also live how it has a built-in GPS to see where to turn left or right or to make a U-turn. Solid purcase. I definitely recommend this smartwatch to a friend!

    After years with a smartphone in your pocket, it's easy to underestimate how convenient it is to have notifications, a personal assistant, and a wealth of data on your wrist. This device feels high quality, it's easy to set up and use. I am continuing to find new ways to leverage it every day to make my life easier and more convenient. Highly recommend.

    Can't go wrong with the Samsung Galaxy watch. It was a gift for my wife and she loves it, sleek design, easy to use, beautiful color, battery could be a little better but still holds more than a day. Great product overall.

    I've had this watch for just over a week and I love it. Sync'd perfectly to my Samsung S22+. The battery lasts much longer than my Gear S3 and charges quick, so I don't have to charge it every night. There a tons of apps and features that I haven't dove into yet, but I look forward to it.

    This watch is a huge improvement over the Galaxy watch 4 and the Apple Watch Series 7. I had both. The battery life on this watch is extremely better. It charges faster and last longer. I have been able to go 2 full days between charges. The only downside to this watch is it scratches easy. I bumped into my wall goofing around with my toddler and my watch got scratched!

    I love the Galaxy Watch 5, it was snappy and battery lasted me 1.5 days with the right settings. The people complaining about battery life are the ones who leave default features on and most people don't use every feature but say they don't turn off certain features because they don't have "time" or pretend they can't be bothered to learn about how to use the watch. I use this for tracking steps, calories, active time etc and use it for hiking as well. I ended up exchanging it for the Watch 6 LTE version in case I want to add it to my T Mo plan later on. I am upgrading for the first gen OG Galaxy Watch which was still working perfectly. Great upgrade!

    This is a very good watch. The problem is I wanted to compare it with the Watch 5 pro. I like to try things before making a final purchase, especially at this cost. I returned this item and then purchased the 5 pro.
