Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Classic | Unboxing & Full Tour

Unboxing the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Classic, a fresh 2023 smartwatch with upgraded performance and some new features, plus that rotating bezel. This hands-on Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Classic review covers all of the best bits and check out my coverage of other top smartwatches here on Tech Spurt.

You can get more info and pre-order the Galaxy Watch 6 and that Classic

Now, if you're after longer battery life, there's only a slight capacity boost for this model vs the previous Classic. It'll just about last two days if you don't go too crazy. There's two sizes for the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic, 43mm and 47mm and I have the bigger one - perfect for my Twiglet wrists! That larger one has a bigger 1.5" screen and a bigger battery, but otherwise it's pretty much the same specs.

You've got Wear OS 4 on there, with Samsung's own OneUI for Watch tweaks on top. The Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Classic is a premium smartwatch with a gorgeous Super AMOLED screen, tough stainless steel casing and sapphire glass. So far that Exynos chipset seems quite nippy, despite some early jitters - I'll be testing further for my full review.

So are you tempted by the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic, or perhaps Samsung's standard 6 smartwatch? Let us know below!

I feel like the watch was the highlight of the Galaxy upgrades this year, which is great for those of us who skipped the 5 for lack of classic

[sergeilazarev]

Good to see the 47 mm size on a small wrist. I was afraid it will be too big for mine too, so ended up ordering normal watch 6 44 mm and I am glad I did that.

[lokilos]

I still have the 3 series and have been waiting for an appropriate upgrade. So glad they have the classic variant back!

[lachlan]

Why is battery life still so terrible after all these years. It's the only thing holding me back at the moment

[ItsWAS]

Yess finally the rotating bezel returns

[-FyX-]

I got this watch weirdly cheap while getting a s23+ after passing the foldables. 235 euro and 70 cashback, directly from Samsung.
It looks good on your wrist. I was worried it might be too big.

Loved your review, clear and informative. I have the 5 pro and get 3 days battery usage but have just ordered the six classic 47mm. I have always wanted to have a British accent, do you have an app for that? I have subscribed so keep them coming

[MrTommyjsx]

Ive pre-ordered the 47mm so will see. Cheers for the review.

[Merc]

Among the smart watch makers. My favorite is Samsung. Their watches are stylish and functional. Syncing with the Samsung ecosystem makes it great. I prefer the regular version over the Classic because of it. both elegant and fashionable

[AaronMetallion]

After watching this I'm hyped to get mine. I've never owned one, and got it because I got the Tab S9 and the bundled deal was so good.
- 50% off on the watch while getting a S9 Tab / ZFlip / ZFold.
- Additional $50 off for not doing a trade in (Promo Code appears in your cart)
- "Buy More Spend Less" slightly more discount.
In Canada it dropped from something like 589$+tax to 235$ +tax, and the strap is charged separately.

[quackman]

worth noting regarding being on "the last hole of the strap...." That is a M/L strap. You can still put a S/M band on the 47mm, and that would probably help a lot.

[JohnnyMcMillan]

Just checked and it's €465 pre-order Amazon, think I'll stick with my Classic 4, isn't worth the upgrade

[SharonCullenArt]

I’m a woman with a small wrist actually about 5.75” and I ordered the 47mm for eyesight reasons. It comes tomorrow so I hope I like it. I had no intention of buying it except my 5 all of a sudden got a yellow screen I couldn’t get rid of. It’ll blink the normal screen for a split second then turn yellow. So I did a trade in and got a new one. I’m glad to get the bezel back. I have missed it.

[AaronWesson]

Pre-ordered black 47mm and will be here Aug 11th 🙌 upgrading from Classic 4

[hood]

just pre ordered this today along with the 23 ultra 512 since they didn't have any in stock. after watching your video im super excited to get my watch now! also got the 47mm too!!!

[sparx]

Ordered the 6 classic 47mm with the tab S9 ultra 1 TB, and got £600 off in total.

[dealbreak]

Preordered the Silver Classic 47mm with graphite sport band. After all discounts and trade-in (Gear S3), it came in at $274 US

[Davyyd]

It has verry laggy scrolling. Why is that? Maybe they will fix with a software update? But it seems like cpu+gpu is doing bad for that increase of pixels

[nippo]

How some people could hate the size ... its an amazing size for me

[chrisconnolly]

Awesome your humor added in. Would be interested seeing it next to watch 5 pro to see the size difference. Keep up the great work.
