Galaxy Watch6 Classic by Samsung || 2024's Top Smartwatch?

This Samsung Smartwatch may very well be the best Android smartwatch of the year. Why is that? Let me show you.

Please comment below with any questions you might have. Thank you all for watching! I appreciate you!

ADDITIONAL REVIEW NOTES:
30% smaller bezel with larger displays and a bunch of new features.
Two sizes: 43mm and 47mm (extra 3mm is for bezel)
Larger display now! 1.5” and 1.3”
Now 10.9mm thick
Sapphire Crystal
AMOLED 480x480 or 432x432 display which is about 14% more pixels vs last year
IP68 + 5ATM

One click bands!
Actually a bunch of new bands including the feather band and
It looks to me like they are backwards compatible - simple pin design

WearOS 4 with OneUI 5 Watch
Will no longer reset when you switch phones

FEATURES
Personalized HR zones
More auto tracked workouts
As soon as you enter flex mode on the Flip, you get a camera controller notification on the watch
SmartThings Find helps you locate your phone even when disconnected
Samsung Pay now brings the complete wallet including transit cards, etc
Cycle tracking using the temp sensor

Health sensors
Temperature sensor, body composition, HR, SPO2, ecg, blood pressure (sort of)

HR LEDs switch to infrared when you are sleeping so you don’t wake up (vs bright green) - but why include both? Why not switch over entirely to infrared? I didn’t get an answer from Samsung but they all assured me it did not affect accuracy at all

Internals
2GB RAM now instead of 1.5
Still 16GB storage
Bluetooth 5.3
Exynos 930 vs last year’s 920 (was 1.18GHz, now 1.4GHz) so maybe similar chip, just clocked higher, or maybe with other modifications
I would expect it to be about 10% faster

425mAh & 300mAh batteries, was 410 and 284 last year, so perhaps a 4-5% boost

I would like to see a dimmer AOD, and I want to see better Google Assistant integration. I look forward to testing!
Pricing is $399 for 43mm and $429 for 47mm. A whopping $100 more for basically the same watch, but a more premium build. I will do a direct comparison once I have both in hand.
Launching August 11th

A 4 Classic vs 6 Classic video would be awesome, specially to see if old bands are compatible, side to side thickness, battery life

[mkavb]

Finally the classic versions are back. These are the best in my opinion

[virginiashaw]

My husband and I are still rocking the 3 classic. No issues yet, works all day long. But now that they are bring the rotating bezel back I think its time for an upgrade!

[JohnSmith-hftv]

A video comparing the GW4 Classic and the GW6 Classic would be awesome, focusing on if it's really worthwhile for GW4C users to upgrade this time, especially because several software improvements of the new 6 will also come to the 4. Having said that, I do want that 6 Classic and am very happy Samsung is bringing back the rotating bezel!

[hhbadarin]

Coming from the watch 4 classic the rotating bezel is a time saver, happy that Samsung is bringing it back!

[deadriddle]

Got mine today as a birthday gift from my dad and little brother. 🥰

[viperdoomed]

A comparison with 4 & 6 classic would be highly appreciated.

[azayn]

Would love to see a comparison between this and the Watch 4 Classic. On paper, there isn't a drastic difference. Real improvements in battery life and performance are what would compel me to upgrade.

[DeneF]

Still running the galaxy with the original rotating bezel have pimped the bezel and strap up but hardly a scratch and excellent battery all these years later and that's amazing because I do a lot of our door DIY and building. Amazing beast.

[andrewandy]

I feel like my 5pro already has all of these features but it's more durable and much better battery life. I'll wait to see what the 7 offers

[Filthyserb]

The battery life is the real question for me personally. I got used to 3 days with 5 pro.

[SupeDefy]

Ordered the Watch 6 classic. Definitely want the physical bezel.

[Mlynoph]

Letttsss goooo rotating bezel is back baby! I think i might pull the trigger this year and get my first smartwatch. Already joined the galaxy ecosystem this year by getting the new S23 Ultra so i think I think my next step will be expanding it to the watches.

[aqualungs]

Coming from an Active 2, definitely was an exciting upgrade.. the bezel to protect the watch. Comfrotable to sleep in.. timers.. lots of timer buttons. I charge it when i get to work, and it has about 40% battery. I love this watch and with the sale was $250 plus $15 mo for LTE service

[EverlastingSpud]

I wish people talked more about the sleep tracking on Samsung. It literally puts the Apple watch into the geound as far as useful information goes. Also, the Body Composition feature is amazing. I do think the Fat % is a little off because I have other devices for Body Comp but still an excellent tool to have.

[alf_lim]

Thanks Mike for the first impressions. Im still on my classic watch 4. I'm still not sure if im going to upgrade. My watch still receives compliments and it works how i want it.

[aptpodcast]

After being patient for so long, my Watch6 Classic is being delivered tomorrow morning. I’ll be upgrading from my SGW3. Yeah, I know..a 3. I’m so insanely excited. haha

[mehshutup]

My watch 4 classic actually have been a 2 and a half day watch since the updates, always ended the day with 70% even with auto tracking & google assistant on. Hope this got more battery

[PradeepSingh-qbbh]

Will it be a significant upgrade if I go from my watch 4 classic LTE 46mm to this new watch 6 classic 47mm?
