Watch faces look better, it’s now easier to read the information on the watch, and there are fewer chances of accidentally touching something you didn’t mean to on the screen. The display itself is brighter, which makes it incredibly easy to read outdoors. The watch is however noticeably heavier, weighing 59 grams compared to the Watch 4’s 46.5 grams. The stainless steel build should help resist minor scratches over time.I really liked that Wear OS 4 has introduced a dedicated WhatsApp app for smartwatches (which isn’t currently available on the other watches), new Tiles for Spotify, and an overhaul to the Google Calendar Wear OS app. There are some minor issues I noticed, for instance, when I tried switching on the watch’s ‘Theatre Mode’ during a film, I was then prompted to run through steps to set it up on my phone. It’s not ideal when you are already in the theatre.I was really impressed by the speed of the UI. Everything from scrolling through menus to jumping into apps runs smoothly. The rotating bezel is really amazing and the tactile feedback of the bezel's rotation is a unique characteristic. Its utility becomes evident during usage and I really can’t understand how Samsung removed this feature from their watches.The primary concern for me was its battery. While the battery is smaller than Watch 5 Pro, it can last a full day even with all features in use, including the always-on display. I was able to extend it to 1.5 days without the always-on display which is not great but not a deal breaker as well.The Watch 6 Classic also offers a couple of new health related features. Firstly, there's the irregular heart rate notification, and secondly, the on-device sleep coach for more insightful sleep analysis. I found both of these features to be really useful & have used them a few times already.Considering all the new features, it's certainly a worthwhile upgrade if you are coming from Watch 4.

On that basis, the watch lasted aroun 1.5 days from full charge, which I felt was decent.The watch lets you customise it in various ways - for example, you can reorganise the apps screen so that it makes sense to you and the apps you use the most.

I also very much liked the rotating bezel element - not only does it make the watch look more classic, it is rather intuitive when navigating on the watch.Thereafter, once I got exploring more, I have made use of various settings to make my life easier. These included setting up to receive notifications from my phone (but not when my phone was on and being used), SmartLock function which keeps my phone unlocked whenver the watch is nearby and the single biggest convenience element which is Google Pay. With this, I could genuinely leave my house without my purse as I could pay for everything with my watch.Overall, very happy that I've added this little beauty on my wrist that offers health monitoring as well as many convenient and liberating features.

If you can afford it, it is safe to argue, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Classic checks almost all the right boxes.It does not break much new ground in terms of looks or features but is probably one of the most capable smartwatches on the market, with robust health and exercise monitoring and coaching and tight smartphone integration, especially if you happen to have a Samsung phone.As with all previous new models, the 6 Classic includes a modest collection of tweaks that mostly make it bit better than the one that came before.

Although perhaps the biggest "new" feature is a actually an old one that was oddly eliminated last year -- the rotating bezel. It allows you to easily move between the many screens of information on the 6 Classic (only the Classic has the bezel)Most longtime Samsung watch users will tell you the physical bezel is a much easier to use and is a more precise navigation tool than the finger swipe or virtual bezel, which was standard across all models last year.The premium Classic version is built around a sturdy stainless steel case this year (budget models are aluminium) and comes in two sizes (43mm and 47mm) and two colors: A polished silver with gray "faux leather" (plastic) band or black with a black band. Stick to the smaller model if you have a small wrist since the biggest-ever 47mm version is pretty bulky.If you are not crazy about those band choices, Samsung makes it a bit easier to swap them out this year. The small, hard- to- manage spring-loaded lug pin of earlier generation bands has been replaced with much larger release button. Sadly, it appears most of the more ecnomical third party bands still use the lug pin.The slightly larger 1.5 inch Super AMOLED screen is very bright with crisp saturated colors and is protected by a tough sapphire crystal. And thanks to the rotating bezel the screen is recessed a bit from the top edge of the watch, making accidental bumps and scratches less likely As before, the watch is water resistant to about 150 feet, so is good for swimming and the shower.I found the new default watch faces offered this year pretty ugly but fortunately there are lots of others to choose from and lots of them are free. I stuck with a black analog face with red sweep second hand I have been using on an earlier model.As for new features, well, the list is pretty short. The 6 Classic has fall detection for the first time, improved heart rate monitoring with automated warnings (if you turn them on), along with new, more extensive sleep monitoring. Everything from pulse to blood oxygen levels to skin temperature (new this year) and snoring (optional with phone) is monitored now and there is a new sleep coaching program built into the Samsung Health app.As before, the watch still has complete exercise monitoring. It keeps tabs on steps, time, pulse, distance traveled and calories burned as well as elevation changes. More than a dozen exercises are included and some, like walking, trigger automatically after 10 minutes. Others must be turned on manually. Each exercise session is saved in the Health app on the phone, along with maps of the route taken, real time health stats and even photos (must be added manually) if you want that level of detail.If you are upgrading from the earlier Samsung watch and also have a Samsung phone, you will very happy to find that process is now nearly effortless. Using Smartswitch, all data from your old watch, including watch faces, health and exercise info and even settings will migrate to the new one -- eventually. Most of that data downloaded in a few minutes but the health and exercise information took several hours perhaps because there is so much of it. I have been wearing Samsung watches for several years so there is a LOT of data. But with patience, you will find your new watch looks and works exactly like your old one, right down to the small settings tweaks you may have made before . That was a pleasant surprise.. I have been through watch upgrades several times and and this was by far the easiest.The only significant disappointment with the 6 Classic is battery capacity, which is less than last year's model: 425mAh on the 47mm version vs 590mAh in previous top Galaxy 5 Pro model. That's odd given how much bigger the 6 Classic is. Still, the new more efficient processor helps sqeeze a bit more life out of that battery so with the always on display option turned off, I can go about two days before recharging.As far as I am concerned, the new Samsung Galaxy Watch6 Classic keeps its crown as one of the top smartwatches on the market. The hefty price may be a little difficult to swallow for some but it gets the job done on pretty much every level.
Samsung recently came out with their newest generation of smart watches, and you now have two choices in two sizes of each – the Galaxy 6, and Galaxy 6 Classic. I received the Classic, which is now available in either a 43mm size or a larger 47mm sized round screen. Having large wrists, I have the 47mm size and it’s perfect for my wrists. The main difference between the two is that the Classic has a rotating bevel around the edge which makes it MUCH easier to scroll through the menus without having to touch the screen. This one feature to me, is the best for this watch.The screen is 1.5 inches of viewable AMOLED with 2000 nits of brightness (meaning it’s very bright, and even visible outdoors in sun when cranked up).

The main difference between the two is that the Classic has a rotating bevel around the edge which makes it MUCH easier to scroll through the menus without having to touch the screen. This one feature to me, is the best for this watch.The screen is 1.5 inches of viewable AMOLED with 2000 nits of brightness (meaning it’s very bright, and even visible outdoors in sun when cranked up). It’s covered with Saphire Crystal Glass which is very durable. Spec wise it’s a bit of a bump from the last model with a dual 1.4 ghz processor, 2 gigs of RAM, and technically 16 gigs of storage, although one you factor in everything that’s on the watch out of the box, you have just over 7 gigs of “usable” storage. Two buttons on the side give you additional navigation options to power the watch on, return to a home screen, return to apps, etc. You charge this with a disc-shaped magnetic USBC charger which seems to have become the standard for all smart watches these days. The strap is a leather-like material, but be warned, if you have a LARGE wrist, like me, you may have to punch an extra hole in it for a comfortable fit. Those with normal-sized wrists won’t have an issue. The strap has buttons on the back you can press for a quick release to easily swap with similar bands, but third party bands so far, will still require you to fiddle with the pins in them to snap them on.The 6 Classic connects to your Android via the Samsung wearable’s app. While you can use this model on most Android phones with little to no issues, you really will only get the most benefit and features from it if you use a Samsung Galaxy phone. I have been using it with no issues on a mid-range Galaxy A54. Setup is ok but not seamless. The app found the watch instantly once prompted and connected the basics, but it takes a little fiddling to get the ECG and Blood oxygen features to work and connect that part to the watch, and you swap between the watch and phone’s app for it to get everything going. The watch OS is pretty straightforward, and between the two side buttons, swiping up/down/sideways, and the rotating bezel, navigating through the menus is pretty straight forward. The one issue is that when you are in the app menu, it shows you all of your apps as their icons, and there doesn’t seem to be a way easily in the OS menu to change this to a more easy to read “List” view on the apps – you pretty much need to memorize what each icon is.As with any other smart watch, once you’re up and running, you of course can do the basics like make/receive a phone call, text, and listen to music. If you pay a few extra dollars for the LTE version, you can make calls and texts without your phone. Wi-Fi models do need to have the phone nearby. I do find that the notification “ping”, where the watch vibrates your wrist, isn’t every strong even when set to it’s highest level – by default you could miss some notifications, but you can choose from a list of different types of vibrations, some of which are longer and will let you feel them more easily. Once you start digging into the menu you have a very large variety of fitness tracking options for just about any activity you can think of, plus GPS options, heartrate, ECG, Blood Oxygen, and more. Quite a lot of watch faces are included out of the box from practical, workout-themed, to cartoonish and crazy, and you can download tons more and even customize them to a degree. So you can make your watch look casual or formal depending on your mood.The ECG requires you to remain still and to have the watch in just the right position, and will let you know if it detects an irregular heartbeat (if so, talk to your doctor). The Blood Oxygen sensor seems pretty accurate – I tested it against a good fingertip type of monitor and it was only off by 1 digit. Likewise with the heartrate monitoring. There is also a fall detection feature that will allegedly call 911 or someone you put in as an emergency contact if it thinks you have fallen – I haven’t tested that yet, but shaking my wrist doesn’t seem to trigger it, anyway.The speaker is ok when using the 6 Classic for phone calls. It’s not SUPER loud, but in a decently normal environment, I can hear the caller, and the microphones are decent enough that callers tell me they can hear me ok, but can tell I’m not on an actual phone. I use voice dictation for texting and it seems pretty accurate provided you speak clearly. By default, the watch comes with Bixby as the assistant that activates when you press the upper button in and hold, but if you install the Google Assistant app on the watch, you can swap that over to Google’s version (better, in my opinion). NFC works, and once set up, you can use Samsung Pay at stores that allow it.Battery life is ok. Not bad, but not stellar. You should be able to make it through a whole day fine provided you don’t use the GPS heavily, or if you have the LTE version, don’t make a lot of calls on it. I would have liked to see a bit more battery power, regardless. Of note – the magnetic charger isn’t super strong and it’s popped off a couple of times unless I have the watch on a very solid, flat, surface. The processor is ok but I have seen a couple of sluggish moments – again, not bad, but a bump in processor power on the next version would be advised. Overall, this is an extremely well-built watch, and the rotating bezel steals the show. It covers all of the basics and many more for a good smart watch. While there’s a few quirks to get it all set up and that could be streamlined better, and the battery could be a bit better, I still like it a lot and would recommend it.
I am not new to Samsung galaxy watches having owned the previous Galaxy Watch 5. When the watch 6 classic arrived I was surprised how minimalist the package it comes in was, I literally just had to break the security seals and then pop the box open and their the watch was no messing around having to remove loads of packaging. Setting up the watch was very easy especially since I had the galaxy wear app installed on my phone due to already owning a watch 5. The app made it easy to transition to the new watch 6 classic from my old watch 5 by transferring my apps and settings I already had on my old galaxy watch for me.The watch is much bigger than my old watch 5 with a lot more screen space and a more premium robust look to it.

When the watch 6 classic arrived I was surprised how minimalist the package it comes in was, I literally just had to break the security seals and then pop the box open and their the watch was no messing around having to remove loads of packaging. Setting up the watch was very easy especially since I had the galaxy wear app installed on my phone due to already owning a watch 5. The app made it easy to transition to the new watch 6 classic from my old watch 5 by transferring my apps and settings I already had on my old galaxy watch for me.The watch is much bigger than my old watch 5 with a lot more screen space and a more premium robust look to it. I love the rotating bezel it makes scrolling through notifications so much easier than having to swipe along using my fingers. I find the battery life to be very good lasting an average of around 40 hours before needing to be charged which suits my needs. The health apps/features on the watch are great from constantly recording my heart rate automatically to being able to carry out and ECG whenever I feel the need to. I also love the blood pressure monitor feature however you do need to use a proper cuff based blood pressure monitor to set it up and then re-calibrate it once a month. Comparing the blood pressure data I get from the watch against a proper blood pressure monitor gives me pretty much the same results so the blood pressure feature on the watch seems to be accurate. The sleep feature is great showing me a breakdown on the samsung health app of the different stages of sleep I had on that particular night and giving me a sleep score based on the data the watch has collected.Overall I love this watch especially the big 47mm size and the rotating bezel which makes using the watch so much easier.
I recently purchased the Samsung Galaxy Watch6 Classic Stainless-Steel Smartwatch (47mm BT) and have been using it for a few weeks now. Here's my honest review of this premium smartwatch:The Galaxy Watch6 Classic is undeniably stylish and well-crafted. The stainless steel case exudes a premium feel, and the 47mm size feels substantial without being overly bulky. The rotating bezel is a fantastic addition, making navigation through the interface intuitive and enjoyable. The 1.4-inch Super AMOLED display is sharp, vibrant, and easily readable outdoors.The watch runs on Samsung's Tizen OS, which is responsive and smooth in daily use. The Exynos W920 processor ensures that apps open quickly, and there's minimal lag. However, there have been occasional hiccups, ...

The rotating bezel is a fantastic addition, making navigation through the interface intuitive and enjoyable. The 1.4-inch Super AMOLED display is sharp, vibrant, and easily readable outdoors.The watch runs on Samsung's Tizen OS, which is responsive and smooth in daily use. The Exynos W920 processor ensures that apps open quickly, and there's minimal lag. However, there have been occasional hiccups, particularly when using third-party apps, which can be frustrating.The Galaxy Watch6 Classic offers a comprehensive suite of health and fitness tracking features. It accurately measures heart rate, sleep patterns, and stress levels. The built-in GPS is reliable for tracking outdoor workouts. However, some users may find the SpO2 sensor less accurate than dedicated medical devices.The battery life on this smartwatch has been somewhat disappointing. Samsung claims up to 2 days of usage, but I've found it falls short of that mark, especially with more active usage or using the always-on display. It requires daily charging, which can be a hassle compared to some competitors with longer battery life.The Galaxy Watch6 Classic syncs seamlessly with Samsung smartphones, offering a wide range of watch faces and third-party apps through the Galaxy Store. However, if you're using a non-Samsung Android device or an iPhone, the experience may not be as seamless, and the app selection is more limited.The watch supports wireless charging, making it convenient to top up the battery. It's also water-resistant, suitable for swimming and other water activities. The inclusion of the ECG and blood pressure monitoring features (available in select regions) is a big plus, though their accuracy may vary.The Samsung Galaxy Watch6 Classic falls in the higher price range for smartwatches. While it offers a premium build and many features, the price may deter some potential buyers, especially when there are other competitive options available at lower price points.The Samsung Galaxy Watch6 Classic is a premium smartwatch with an impressive design, solid performance, and an extensive array of health and fitness tracking features. However, it falls short in terms of battery life and may not be the best choice for users on a budget. If you value style and are deeply embedded in the Samsung ecosystem, this watch is worth considering, but those looking for more value for their money might want to explore other options.
Saw the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic was coming out with the rotating bezel so wanted to see if the upgrade from my 5 pro was going to be worth it so I got the 47mm one.Unboxing and setup:The Watch 6 Classic came in the usual Samsung watch logoed box and inside along with the watch was a charging cable, information manual, and watch band “hybrid leather”, also grabbed one of their new fabric bands. I picked the silver one this time as my black had some wear marks through the black edges that did sort of stick out.Now the first thing we noticed is that the 6 Classic 47mm watch is a little bigger and heavier than the 5 Pro 45mm. I figured the weight difference is probably due to the use of Stainless Steel for the body this time around instead of Titanium. The Screen is ...

I picked the silver one this time as my black had some wear marks through the black edges that did sort of stick out.Now the first thing we noticed is that the 6 Classic 47mm watch is a little bigger and heavier than the 5 Pro 45mm. I figured the weight difference is probably due to the use of Stainless Steel for the body this time around instead of Titanium. The Screen is larger, noticeably larger than the 5 Pro, much easier to read, and the bezel around it is much thinner than the 5, but overall, the watch is also noticeably larger.Setting up is simple, I just backed up my 5 to my Samsung account under settings and then went through the setup and had it restored from my account, everything was back and looked just like my 5 when finished.Use:I did notice that performance wise the 6 is faster than the 5, it seems smoother scrolling “by a tiny bit” and apps open a little faster. When I first started using it the battery life was horrible, barely a day of use out of it, but after a couple of OTA updates from Samsung the battery life is now up to about what the 5 pro was and it does last me a couple of days before I need to charge, “I usually charge daily anyway while showering and that’s enough to give it a full charge”. I did find that the watch has a tendency to turn on Wi-Fi all by itself and that does impact battery life. If it’s connected to your phone through Bluetooth there’s no reason to have it on so just make sure the auto connect is off in the settings.The larger screen is bright, much brighter than the 5 pro, and since it’s larger it’s easier to read for my older eyes, “I really appreciate the larger screen and clarity”. My only issue is with the hybrid band, at the frame of the watch it does not “bend” straight down and since I have medium/small wrists it looks funny as there’s a big gap under the band and lugs where it attaches. I solved this by using a Samsung fabric band “I really like these “just not the price””, they are super comfortable, a little bit elastic so they do stretch just a little and do not get as sweaty underneath when working out, plus you can pop them off “they have the new button attachment device” and hand wash them in the sink with ease.Conclusion:I really like the new 6 Classic, even though it is bigger and heavier than the 5 Pro after a few days of wearing I really couldn’t tell the difference “Can still tell it’s larger overall though”. The big thing is that the rotating bezel is back, “woohoo”, I had a Watch 4 Classic and I missed having that rotating bezel. This bezel is much thinner than that one, and looks so much better with the larger screen.If you are looking at upgrading or just looking for a smart watch then I would look at getting the new GW 6. Samsung has improved it enough to where “I” feel it’s worth it, and after the OTA updates the battery life lasts me a couple days easy.
Now this is a premium device. A true Rolls Royce of a watch. I was worried that the watch might be a little too big as I went for the 47mm version, which is the largest available but it is a nice size and it just feels so solid and weighty. I went for the silver and it is a gorgeous watch, instantly getting comments from people who are seeing it for the first time. The spinning dial and buttons are extremely satisfying to use and the whole design is just top notch engineering. Feature wise it has everything you want or need from a watch. There are too many apps to list but all the standard health and fitness, messaging, entertainment apps are there and with the larger face, gorgeous screen and precision interaction it is a dream to use.

There are too many apps to list but all the standard health and fitness, messaging, entertainment apps are there and with the larger face, gorgeous screen and precision interaction it is a dream to use. I was concerned that the touch screen aspect would be too finicky and I would just use it for the basics but I find myself replying to messages the precision on the touchscreen is that good. Obviously it has all the customisation you could want, from alternative watch faces to replacement straps plus an incredible amount of customisation is available via the settings with a healthy amount of accessibility options to boot. Smart watches really have come a long way and the Samsung 6 is at the pinnacle. If I had one minor concern it would be battery life. I do want everything on all the time. There is a feature where you can limit it to just being a watch, this will give you over 2 weeks of battery life and there are lots of options to turn things off to get to your desired battery life but I like all the bells and whistles on all the time. 36 hours is great but there is just that nag that I have to charge it for 15-30 mins every day at some stage. It truly is a minor gripe and with some tweaking I am sure I can get it to over 2 days without sacrificing much but in summary, this is an amazing watch and I couldn't recommend it enough.
