I had an older version that was fine. In this version, I wasn't able to wear it for even a week. A rash and a dark circular spot appeared on my wrist. I have to carry it in my pocket to track my steps. Its fit was also weird.

This watch is amazing, I loved the Watch 4 and wasn’t sure it would be worth it to go to Watch 5. But it absolutely is! The battery life is SO much better. I had to turn off lots of features on my old one to keep the battery going. I can use all the fun features now. I use this not only for health including checking my blood pressure per my doctor. It I use the recording feature every day to help me remember things. I use it in my dance class to start my music. So many great reasons to have this watch. Love it! Thanks Samsung!

Great in Most Ways, but Poor Battery Life

If features, connectivity, and (perhaps) looks were all that were required to make a superior watch and tracker, this would win most any competition. Let’s start with the last. The version of the watch that I tested had a 44mm face which when not in use was reflective piano black, matched with a matte black band. For those who are into a modern, minimalist look, this is a beauty. The watch has only 2 small right-side buttons, as most functions are controlled by sweeping the face in various directions such as up for apps. Slick. The watch arrives in an equally simple and fully recyclable box.
Setup was relatively easy as was pairing with a Samsung Galaxy S21 phone. Once the pairing process starts it is virtually automatic as the user has only to answer a few questions about preferences. As for connectivity, the watch has LTE, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi features along with GPS. All connected easily. When I took a long walk, the watch surprised me with a chime and question: Did I want it to memorize my route. Not sure what other Easter Eggs it has in store for me, but I liked the surprise.
For anyone familiar with recent Samsung devices, the icons and interface will feel comfortably familiar. (As I own several Samsung devices, I applaud the standardization of icons and features.) Dozens of organized (athletic, stylish, digital/analog) faces are available which are chosen through the phone app. Experimenting and customizing faces are quick and easy.
When the watch is illuminated (by wrist movement, screen touch, or button) the display is vibrant and bright. With this larger face, the look is dazzling and impressive. The face responds nearly instantly to swipes or touch. Again, very impressive.
However, all is not perfect. The provided watch band has no loops, so after fitting it to one’s wrist, the remaining “tail” has to be inserted under the main band. While this sounds like a minor issue (and with all of the above, I guess it is) I found this requirement awkward and inconvenient; see photo. Anyone with dexterity limitations (arthritic fingers?) will find this frustrating.
The big and most negative issue is battery life. The large display and multiple connectivity options really take their toll. I wore the watch to sleep and put it in “bed mode” which seems to be a variation of airplane mode. I had 72% battery when I did this. When I awakened 7.5 hours later, I had lost literally 30% of battery life. While charging is easy (requires a Type C USB connect for the magnetic charger), I cannot imagine the battery lasting much more than 24 hours, especially with athletic activity.
In sum, if you can be comfortable with the limited battery life and minor band issue, this could be the smart watch for you. I loved it, but was truly disappointed by the brief battery life.
