SAMSUNG Galaxy Watch 5 Pro 45mm Bluetooth Smartwatch w/Body, Health, Fitness and Sleep Tracker, Black (Renewed)

Had this watch for about a week now. I was initially hesitant about the purchase, as this is my first smart watch. After research, and getting acquainted with the tool, I'm so happy I pulled the trigger. I use it every day for surprisingly detailed sleep tracking, enhanced step/activity tracking, ease of checking notifications and responding when I don't have easy access to my phone (or if I'm not supposed to at work), and on top of all of that, it's just a fantastic looking watch. The amount of functions you have access to is fantastic. I have paid more in my life for a watch that literally could only tell time. Lol. I know the health monitoring data may not be spot on, but it has really helped me focus on the right things during day to day. If you're on the fence, do it. If you have a Samsung phone, definitely do it.Some tips:1.) I recommend the first thing you do is order the official Samsung wireless charger to go with it. The charger shipped with this watch is off-brand and charges at about 5 watts, which takes about 2.5-3 hours. The Samsung charger provides 10 watt fast charging which takes 90 minutes at most. Again, the included charger is aftermarket, and slooowww. Get the Samsung one. The battery life on this watch is good, but not phenomenal, so having a faster charger is key to low stress ownership. These smart devices take at least one or two charge cycles to optimize battery use, so be patient with the first couple of battery cycles. I got one day out of the first two, then started getting a full 2 days easy, with slight tweaks to functions, but still fairly liberal use. I've attached screen shots of my batter usage stats after the break in period. If you want to have everything running all day at full capacity, again definitely get the Samsung charger so you can juice up faster after a day of heavy use.2.) This is not a brand new watch. It was manufactured in 2022, and used by a previous owner for years. Do not expect it to be in perfect cosmetic condition. For the price, I think this is reasonable (approx $100 vs $400 new when it came out). Mine has a couple of blemishes, but the screen is in excellent condition. Still looks great to my eye! Consider getting a case and screen protector.3.) I also recommend taking some rubbing alcohol, a micro fiber cloth, and some q-tips to the watch on arrival. The refurbishing on it is okay, but I did still clean off a thin layer of built up grime from the previous owner, especially in some hard to reach spots.4.) If you are fairly active I recommend getting a different band for the watch. The OEM rubber one ends up slipping all over anytime I build up a sweat. If I try to tighten it enough to stay still, it ends up pinching and cutting off blood flow. I work in food service, so having to constantly readjust the position through my shift has been annoying. I also have slim wrists, and forums seem to say the "no gap" bands are to be avoided. You want that gap so the band can bend down from the mounting point to provide more wrist contact.In summary: This watch has been a super enjoyable addition to my health tracking, Samsung ecosystem, and just general gadgets I use on the daily. I love it! Still giving it 5 stars despite the effort I've had to put in to make everything work right for me, because the price is an absolute steal. I don't have money for a brand new smart watch, but this one still holds its own with the current market, from what I've gathered, and even provides better battery life than a lot of brand new watches.

At first I thought it was just going to be alright. But now it’s something I use every single day. I’ve got a Galaxy phone, and when it’s connected to the car I don’t hear my notifications. This watch fixes that. I don’t miss anything anymore.When I opened the box, the band was off and I figured something was wrong. I snapped it on and it’s been perfect ever since. Everything works like it should, no issues at all.Battery lasts a few days and it actually charges faster than my phone. I usually charge it while driving. It’s been solid and dependable.

Great watch and Great value for the price.... Excellent condition and absolutely zero issues with it so far...

Great watch for the price! Looks almost brand new and works perfectly. Tracks sleep, heart rate, and workouts well. Battery lasts around 2 days. Only downside was the third-party charger and basic band, but still a great deal for a renewed product.

Battery is not amazing, but - after reading about the previous models, and being my first smartwatch, it seems clear that this is actually a huge improvement over prior models. Charging every other day is not so bad.** [2024-04-20 update - closer to every 2 to 3 days, a pleasant surprise] **It is occasionally a little flaky - there are times when the turn-of-wrist gesture goes totally unnoticed (the display is supposed to light up when you make the gesture to look at it) - but it usually works. When it doesn't, a simple tap is all it takes. The watch was very easy to figure out and make full use of.** [2024-04-20 update - still occasionally fails to respond to turn-of-wrist, but - it makes up for it in just how well it _integrates_ with my smartphone.***** [2024-04-20 update: The watch and phone (Samsung S23 FE) are just _so_ tightly coupled - any messages, emails, alerts, weather, etc.. can be set to forward to the watch - notifications [per app] can be toggled to show on the watch or not.. and for all of these, the watch has a "show on phone" button, to basically say "I'll deal with it on the phone", as well as dismiss or snooze options. That's just the tip of the iceberg. I'm very impressed by the way the two devices coordinate functionality. Dick Tracy has nothing on us in 2024. Very cool, lol. I find that the sleep analysis (which uses pulse fluctuations,, breathing, blood-oxygen level, skin-temp, etc..) for me, personally, is quite accurate. This probably varies from person to person, but it seems to be surprisingly accurate for me. ] *****I especially like how you can customize the watch face, as well as download (and usually purchase for a buck or two) from a literal plethora* of custom watch faces. I purchased an aftermarket "armour" band for the watch, which was a pain to get the watch in to on the first try. I decided that, for comfort, the stock watch band is superior after all. So - a VERY killer watch at a phenomenal price. Well satisfied.*** [2024-04-20 update - I _LOVE my "new" Galaxy Watch 5 Pro. Period.] ***

The watch arrived in almost new condition. There was only a very miniscule nick on it that I corrected with a sharpie marker. The screen and back are perfect. The watch band is like new. The battery life is strong. The charger and cord are aftermarket and slightly bigger in diameter than an original. All functions are working. This is a very good renewed watch.

Saw some of the reviews and the condition of the watches they got so I was on the fence if I wanted to place an order. Figured what the heck and took a chance. Watch showed up yesterday and looks brand new, had a few smudges on it but they wiped off. Was surprised to see I got the golf version with a black band, but I don't mind as the green button adds a little color to an all black watch. Watch is fast and snappy, taking a little getting used to not having a bezel like on my Gear S3 Classic but overall I'm really impressed.
