Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 and 6 Classic Review: Return of the Bezel

It's more like the Galaxy Watch 5.5, but if you like big, bright screens and bezels, this might be the Android smartwatch for you.

Thanks for watching! My full written review linked in the description has much more on sensors and accuracy. Feel free to ask any other questions you have here!

[Kongrisser]

Thank you so much for telling us right away which size watch you're wearing AND including your wrist measurement! That's such helpful context to have and I don't understand why every other watch reviewer doesn't do it.

[ItsNish]

I wonder why they ditched rose gold. It was my favorite color.

[rainerrain]

Finally a reviewer states their wrist size and the size of watch they're wearing ! This helps so much on deciding which size to get for those of us who don't have access to see the watches in person before buying them, so THANKS ! PS : keep us updated on battery usage as its suppose to get better once it learns your every day usage, thanks again and enjoy your watch.

"Hey man, I don't know what's going on, but you really owe me that 50 bucks" that message....🤣

I'm jumping straight from the 1st gen Galaxy Watch to the 6 Classic.
Mine should arrive next week, as today is the first day it's available in my country

Thank you for an excellent review. I got my Samsung galaxy watch 6 for free by changing cell carrier. I had original Samsung galaxy watch. This is a definite improvement. Thanks again

[rosiposi]

I'm getting the 6 as a birthday treat for myself!

A lot of people want to know if the battery life is a lot less on the 43mm vs 47mm version. One really needs to try on both sizes to determine their comfort level. Bummer they didnt stay with the bigger battery like the pro 5 one. The screen in bright sun looks fantastic. Samsung was the first smart watch maker, they have lots of competitors these days.

5:40 ive traded every galaxy watch in the next generation because trade in is so generous. Last year I got the watch 5 for $130 including a fast wirekess charger duo and 2 25 watt usb c bricks. The sapphire display was the main motivation for upgrading, as I had a couple deep scratches.

I ordered a watch 6 classic as i missed the bezel since the watch 3, and it was $130 including an extra band, no brainer. And slightly faster SoC

You didn't bring up anything on the change to Bluetooth 5.3. People may not think it's a huge deal but it does make a difference.

I live in Australia.
Went to my local Telstra Store this arve, checked out these watches, tried on the 47mm Classic, yeah it fit nicely & the band was comfy.
With Telstra we get points for paying our bill over the years 😁
I had 150k points, the classic 47mm is 300k points, so half price for me 👌
I've ordered a Silver 47mm Classic which will be sent to me, they only had the black one in store, I didn't really like the black.
This will be my first Galaxy watch.

[Techtalker]

The 1 major thing for me I suppose is that the classic has almost 0 bezel and even the regular one has trimmed the bezels so much! And that looks amazingg!!!

[AsBax]

i used to have the watch 3, and when the watch 5 came out, i immediately pre ordered it the same day it was available. 20+ days later of waiting, i got it. Its been almost a year with this watch and its amazing. Worth the upgrade from the watch 3.

[satinsangel]

I whole heartedly agree the bezel should've never left. That was the exact reason why I never invested in those newer touch screen only versions, ew! I still have my S3 Frontier and Galaxy Watch. Does anyone remember when it had a camera and was rectangular though? Lol

[mylefteye]

I have the Watch4 and I love it but with the trade in value being so good, I pre-ordered the Watch 6 at half the cost. I can't wait. Its arriving by the end of this week. 😎

[LanceT.]

I'd like to see more screen time on the universal gestures.

[JP-mody]

I will miss my mystic broze watch 3 because of the color, but the bezel is back, and I think it is good to trade in before old watch values go down more. Besides, my watch 3 has been acting up a lot. Very delayed. Thanks for the video, I like your honest opinions and details. 😊

[jjvarelaa]

Have you noticed on google messages that notifications on the watch will never include prior message replies? It will only show the other person’s thread but not include the messages you sent? Is this just me? Great review as always!

[superiortoall]

I got the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic, I'll see how that compares to my Apple Watch Ultra
