PERFECT Review. Went through comparisons to generations as old as the watch 3, compared design updates, tested all features in-depth and made me even more sure that I made a good decision upgrading from Watch 3 "Classic" to Watch 6 (glad I returned watch 5 pro a few months ago and waited for this instead)
Which size watch 3 were you using and also now which size did you buy? What size is your wrist? Sorry for so many questions.
I have the 45mm watch 3 and I've been thinking about finally upgrading. I would have destroyed many of the newer ones without the bezel protection.
Just got my Galaxy 6 Classic (47mm) in silver yesterday. It fits my wrist perfect. Not too big or bulky at all. The setup took about 15 minutes. I spent another 30 minutes configuring it. This is my 1st smart watch so I thought there would be a decent learning curve but it's not. I like the easily configurable watch faces. I used the BMI, ECG and skeletal muscle features. All worked flawless. The heart rate monitor is great. Bottom line is the health features are fantastic. I made and received calls and texts without my phone. Again, works flawlessly. Even the battery is better than expected and it charges quickly - 85% in about 30 minutes. Setting up Google Assistant was super easy and it syncs with your Samsung/Android phone. I really like it so far. It's a beautiful watch.
Nice, thanks for sharing. It’s a pretty good watch no doubt. Especially for a first smart watch. Enjoy 👍
UPDATE: Now that I've used it for several days I want to give you all an update. I've fine tuned the configuration, reprogramming the 2 side buttons to my liking. I programmed the bottom button (watch is on my left wrist) to show all open apps so that I can quickly close them or go to one of them. The alarm function is great and I set the watch to also transfer the alarm to my phone so they both go off (in case I have the volume turned down on one device). Getting to really like the rotating bezel. The Spotify app is great. Shows my playlists, favorites and 'daily mix'. I use it working out with my Powerbeat Pro's (which I strongly recommend for gym rats, biking and hiking) and Bose bluetooth speaker. Even the flashlight feature works great. Battery life continues to impress as it learns my tendencies. The silver watch with light grey band is classy and elegant looking while maintaining top shelf health and workout functionality. All-in-all I am loving the Galaxy 6 Classic.
Ditto Rob, new for me also and ordered same colour as you, looks great eh! 👌I maybe need to do a little more exercise😳
@@robyork9554 Thanks for the update. Good to hear stuff beyond the initial impression when tiny design faults are not yet apparent.
I'm pleased you've posted this. As I've just bought my wife the exact same as yours and I've got the graphite 47 classic. Just waiting for the postman now 😮
One of the best reviews of Samsung Watch 6 on the internet. Congrats!
I think so too I know made my decision
This is the most complete GW 6 Classic review I've seen yet... As a long-time Galaxy Watch user (who is currently wearing a Gear S3 that still gets a little over 2 days life - my Galaxy Watch OG screen just recently died and I need to upgrade). All of that said - THIS review over and above all the others tells me what I need to know! As an Oura ring wearer I use very few of the health features and I have a great idea of the battery life (for me) on this one. If the Citizen CZ had better battery life I might go there - but it appears still Galaxy Watches for me - THANKS!!!
I did not hear him mention that for anyone that does not have a Samsung watch, most of the medical sensors will not work.
He did say it
I've watched a few videos about this watch because I'm thinking on getting it and your are the only person telling us about the learning pattern period. Thank you 👍🏼
Thank you, finally a reviewer that actually tests the accuracy of the heartrate sensor! Really appreciated
I can't wait I'm receiving my Galaxy 6 Classic through the mail this Wednesday! It just shipped out yesterday!
Finally,I always look forward to your honest and thorough reviews, can't wait to get mine next week 👍🏾,the best wearable reviews IMO
I'm getting mine Monday hehehe I'm not worried about the battery because it's going to be same as Pro 5 people not understanding it's 2000 nits not 1000 nits from 5 pro bigger screen 47" turn off on display. Everyone battery will vary .
Honestly what's the difference in charging your phone 🤷🏾♂️....lol at the end of the day still will be best smartwatch on the market.
Best review about Galaxy 6 on CZcams so far!
I agree 💯
Great video! Very informative! Thanks for sharing!
Awesome review.
I bought the first galaxy watch when it came out and still rocks it, but in the market for an upgrade, i highly consider this one!
Nice I have the Original Galaxy Watch as well and a couple of active 2 watches. Moving up to this when it arrives.
Good call on the battery life. I was nervous the first few days, but as you said, after about three day, the battery life has improved significantly. I had the Watch 4 Classic and had no plans to upgrade. However, the trade in deals pulled me in. I paid $160 for the Watch 4, brand new, at Wal-Mart. They offered a $200 trade in, plus a $70 discount. I ended up getting the Watch 6 Classic for $130, with the trade in.
Same, though the one I ordered was around $160 after trade-in. Still, that's a deal I couldn't pass up. If nothing else, I'll get a slightly larger watch face than before plus some better specs.
Hello! today is my fourth day wearing the watch. the battery barely reaches 14 hours. Do you think it will improve? How long does it last for you? and after how much time?
@@neovilias I'd give it a few more days. Battery life isn't great, but I can get through a day.
@@jdneilso Just like you said it. Second day of use today and it's at 50%. Good thing because I was starting to get frustrated! Thanks
I bought a Samsung Tab S9, and the Pre-Order price was amazing for the watch! 50% off with the purchase of a Tab S9 or ZFold / ZFlip, and an additional $50 off if you don't do a trade in (add it to cart, and you'll see the promo code in your cart), and a bit more discount from the buy more pay less discount. This is in Canadian Dollar but it dropped from something like 589$ + tax to 240$ + tax. First time owning a smart watch, it was nice to see the functionality while it ships :). Great in-depth review!
Thank you very much for this review about GW6 classic I was a bit worried till you explain the battery life I was waiting for someone to test it out everyone else talking about bezzle and all the other stuff I don't want to hear about you nailed it I pre-ordered mine I and didn't want to return it like I did the GW4 battery was horrible thanks for helping me decide
Amazing review! Thank you for this! For the charging puck, has Samsung increased the magnetism of them? I have the GW4C and the charging puck magnetism is so weak, it always comes off with even the slightest knock over. Quite frustrating, lol
best review of all that I have watched till now. Subscribed.
The "waste of paper" is probably due to some compliance regulations, it's certainly not Samsung's idea
Bro no one gives a crap about wasting paper
Exactly. Paper even if cheap is always additional cost. If Samsung could avoid using all this paper, let me tell you, they would.
Apple isn't being progressive by taking paper out of the boxes. They just like samsung are aware that the amount of paper saved from doing that wouldn't equate to much at all. It's purely a gimmick to make you think they are this ultra progressive company that is "truly saving the environment" when in actuality the manufacturing of their devices is one of the biggest concerns for the environment.
This has been the best review i've seen on this watch, good stuff 👌👌
And have to say the best review i have seen so far letting people know so much about the battery thanks again sir 💯
Good to see you back in my lineup and I have to say great work.Loved the in-depth review and liked the Classic too.Thanks so much for sharing ✌️💯
Wow - thank you for learning usage pattern information 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
This review is so detailed. Thanks for all the information.
I must say. U have done a very good review .. love the comparison. Also discussing about user patterns at the beginning of the review . 🎉🎉
Great and accurate very good review! Made my choice much easier! Learned also a lot while watching your fine and educating video review! Btw, I will get my Samsung Galaxy Smartwatch 6 Classic 47mm next week purchased directly from Samsung shop and they are generous to add Samsung Galaxy Bud 2 for free. Owning an S23 Ultra will make this watch suitable for the Samsung ecosystem nicely! Wishing you all the best, thumbs up, and now subscribing! I am thankful to find your channel here on YT! Take care! 💯👍💝
I'm still rocking 1st gen Galaxy watch classic LTE , still working great, still looks great. Not needing to upgrade at all.
I preordered in the U.S. and the fabric band was only available in black. Glad to hear you preferred that color also. I should be receiving mine next week. Also, nice review.
I have couple of Samsung Watches: Gear S3, Galaxy Watch 3 (with rotating bezel), Galaxy Watch 4 (without rotating bezel) and Galaxy Watch 5 Pro. Best battery life I have on Galaxy Watch 3 and Galaxy Watch 5 Pro. I will buy Watch 6 Classic but when price will go down. IMHO there is almost no differences between all those watches , only "big thing" was Samsung's switching OS (Tizen to WearOS). Also the best battery life on any Galaxy wearable is still on original Galaxy Watch 1 but there was no black version of 46mm so I sold it.
Thanks for clarifying the impact of learning and battery performance at the beginning
Fantastic review, thanks.
Excellent video in detail. I am still using my Samsung Galaxy 3 S Frontier. I am definitely due for and upgrade. Looking at getting the watch 6 Classic 47 mm. Thanks for sharing this video.
I loved my s3 frontier but unfortunately it stopped turning on unless on the charger
I also am thinking of upgrading from S3 Frontier. Only doubt is the battery, but I think that in the end I'll buy it
Excellent review! New sub. Thanks!
I decided to get this watch to replace my Fitbit Versa Lite that has been acting weird . Got a good deal with trade in and Educational employee discount. seems like this is going to be a huge upgrade for me. thanks for the tip about the battery learning. that actually would have frustrated me not knowing that.
First time hear. It was like watching a movie! You deserve at least a million subs.
Thank you! I chose the Watch 4 Classic 46mm, and am very happy! The new battery is a bit bigger. The memory is a bit bigger, but the Watch 4 46mm Classic LTE works well for me so far.
I'm still learning what all my watch can do, and we are still waiting for the BP feature to be approved here in America.
I hope they'll add dive computer and aviation features to the next generation... perhaps Watch 7?
They need a working bezel for setting coordinates for the compass, too. Gotta have the bezel!!!
I bought a stainless steel watch band for mine, and love it.
For diving, I think those plastic/vinyl bands are best. Be sure to rinse well after being in the salt water!!!
Very nice review. Your a pro. 😊
CTR-
Spot on work!
✊🏾
I just mine yesterday and im having great battery life today! You mean itll get better?!😮 sweet. Loving the look and the rotating bezel on this thing!
Good tips, I love the intro song. Is there a longer version to listen to? 👍🏼
Great content, thanks!
Great review!!
This is a very useful review 👍🏽
Great review 👏
To have that battery life do you use lift to wake or screen off all the time? Thanks for the review
Great reviews man 👍
I've had my GW6 Classic for just a few days now. And in my opinion, Samsung knocked out of the park yet again!! Maybe the battery life could be better. But I realize I haven't had it that long, so it should get better battery life overtime.👍🏾💯
Great review, what about the fall detection and sos. My watch 5 has gone in for repairs twice, for these functions. As I get older these functions are critical for me.😢
Nice one. Good luck in future videos. And by the way, first one :-)
Thank you so much 🙌
Fantastic review
Better review than those Flashy sponsored reviewers. Thanks for the good quality video. Keep up the good work. This Video made me Subscribe Immediately!!
I'm in the UK west London Harrow, so thanks for this UK review got mine on Friday as part of a trade in (can't afford to keep watches like you Lol!) for my 5 pro and I've had all the galaxy watches since the 3 (all traded for the newer). The classic looks so much better then my pro 5, I'm looking for to my final battery life after the 3 days usage. Keep up the good work and representing the UK side of reviews👊👊
The first two minutes already worth the like
I got myself a Classic 43mm LTE, my previous one was a Watch3. It is beautiful but the battery didn't even last 12 hours, I was so disappointed. Already turned off wifi, Bluetooth, nfc, and AOD. I didn't know what else to do. After seeing this I will give it some more time!
@content-monster, how did it go? Did it get better?
@@kalistapotter4619 It did indeed get better, the first few days are not a good representation. I have AOD on and it lasts me more than a day.
Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Classic 47mm
Regarding autonomy - 55 hours my watch worked on a single charge - from 100% to the 10% mark. Operating conditions: Always on display disabled. In the background, 2 applications (Health) were constantly working - one of them every 10 minutes. measured the pulse. Notifications are enabled - the watch successfully received mail, instant messengers, CZcams, etc. Every day - measured blood pressure, did a cardiogram, pulse and stress (more than once a day). 1 - 2 times every day received calls and talked for an average of 30 seconds. I also played with all sorts of settings, chose dials, etc. I didn’t monitor sleep - I took it off at night - about 9 hours every day lay idle. I liked this result as for such a device.
I just got mine today 8/7/23 , started with 80% of battery dropped to 61 when done setting up, I was about to send it back until I watched your video, so I’m going to wait a few more days and see what happens . Do you think the 5 pro is better? That’s what I’m coming from.
I easily get 2 days out of my watch. I'm super happy with it. The best watch I've ever had. The 5 pro was too bulky with a smaller screen and no rotating bezel. Battery life was about the same.
Yes 2 days battery life is the avg for this watch. Love mine too. 👍
Did they fixed the LTE version overheating problems?! And battery life?
Chigz top of your game! Finally a proper honest review. Btw, liked your short on this yesterday 😊
Awesome thanks heaps.
Thanks for the good review. Can you use the watch with a galaxy tablet(8 ultra)? I do not have a galaxy phone.
thanks for your valuable video
Thank you for this video. I was reading the website review and this made me want to get this watch even more!!
Chigz! Thank you very much!
Amazing Review 👏 👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏
Great review! What about accidental movement of bezel ring during daily usage? E.g. by sleeve covering or keeping hand in the pocket?
the bezel offers enough resistance not to turn accidentally
I have tried to use Google (Pixel) watch for a few days, and it was an horrible experience. So, back to Samsung OS again, and I know I will not regret it. So, pre-ordered my Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Classic (47mm) watch now. Can't wait to get it ! Thanks for the great review btw ! :)
I understand. I also have the Pixel Watch. I've put a screen protector and case on it and use it for work as it is smaller than my Galaxy watches
Thank you so much explaining about the battery i was in too minds about getting the watch 6 classic coming from the watch 5pro I'm knowing going to get the 6 classic in 47 thanks 😅😅
I have the old frontier3 lol. Never had a reason to change it this thing had been put thru hell and back and has survived. Until 4 days ago the screen stays green and very very dim. I think I'm going to switch to this 6. Looks great
Thank you for your review !
Thanks for a informativ video 👍
I got the silver watch 6 classic 47mm i love it, it a upgrade from my watch 4 .
I had the last rotating bezel. I didn't really think much of it one way or other. I traded it in for the pro 5. Didn't miss the bezel. I was so used to swiping. But it's a big watch face and I have small wrists. So I traded it in for the 40mm Galaxy 6. I like it much better. Doesn't make my wrists look small. I primarily just use the watch for timers and sleep tracking and that's it really. All its other features are kind of wasted on me. Thanks for the review. 👍
I love your idea of a premium fitness watch :-)
I can't wait to receive mine on the 8th of this month, my actual watch is the Active2 so this will be a good upgrade.
Does it overheats when taken in a low network zone? all samsung LTE watches have had this issue.
Great video, and great watch.
Best review i have even seen at all.Not only before i purchase something. I think the watch is worth it after half year using as a Samsunfg tech fan.
Im planning on buying the silver variant but , im concerned whether the straps are having too much gap , and will the watch 4,5 straps fir as gapless with this one
Thank You!
Hi, i think some apps or features of the watch won't be available depending on region. For example for my country Samsung and Google pay isn't available / supported but you can always use app of the Bank you are using to pay with watch or phone
Glad I stumbled upon this review. I already ordered one and it is on the way so I was nervous while watching this. lol So Im glad it was a good review. This is my first smart watch too. I just hate that they release every year.
Same. I have a couple and I want this one for it to be subtle, yet powerful tool.
What did you get? I got a 43mm Black everything.
@@RobertPerez862 Samsung's website sold out of the black classic sometime between 8/4 late night and 8/5 morning EST. I got a silver 47 LTE and 43 LTE.
I'm reading this before watching the video and yes always pre-ordered. Was nervous but you're comment gives me safety
Just preordered as well. 47 all balck
Great Great review
Just got mine and love it but just noticed my buttons are not clicky like my 5 pro or watch 4 classic... Is this right? I noticed the buttons are kind of curved but it should click like other previous watches right? The power/home button is ok but the back button is/feels bad
Just got the watch and tinkering with it. As per checking gsmarena, I see that this watch is IP68 certified compared to the IP6X certified Apple Watch Ultra. So far, I'm satisfied with the watch.
6:15 - Interesting. I pre-ordered mine over here in Germany, and I could (and did) choose the _One Click Fabric Band_ in black. However, I haven't even unpacked it yet because I really like the look of the (free) one that came with the watch, but after your praise I might actually give it a try.
Chigz I'm guessing as it's usb c cable you can just use the same power brick for this as you do your mobile?
Which one you think is better between the galaxy 6 or the tic watch pro 5 im trying to buy a smart watch also a dont have a samsung phone
Funny how many vids almost all say they love the Bezel coming back but use the swipe as they go thru the vid 🤦🏻♂️🤭 either way Amazing vid 👍🏻shld b getting mine 2mrw here in San Antonio, Tx i hv the Ultra 23 phone so will b turning in my Classic 4... just upset on how slow the BP FDA approval has been in the US😔👎
Very good review
Thanks!
What about Huawei Watch Ultimate or Huawei Watch 4 Pro on your smartwatches top?Cheers
That's what I was wondering didn't the first Galaxy watch had a camera where you can take pics. I remember when I was doing security at an upscale condo a guy was taking pics with his watch of himself and friends or was it the Galaxy Watch 2.
Thank you for the note on the battery. I just got my 6 classic and was annoyed that the battery life is sooooo bad. Hoping it will improve as you mentioned (Although mine does not say it is learning).
so, did it approve?
@themowgus did it, actually improve I would love to know?
I've never owned a smart watch. I keep wanting to jump in. Just now starting your review, but it will probably be my decider.
i wonder if the heart rate would be quicker to asses on the treadmill if you turn the watch onto the bottom of the wrist where pulse checks are done
Here in the US, we have the use of the ECG app in Samsung Health monitor but only on a Samsung phone. The Blood Pressure hasn't cleared the FDA so not active on any Samsung watches in the US yet. Blood pressure is supposed to be "coming soon"
Blood pressure measurements are extremely important to me. Measure twice a day, morning and evening using an Omni 7000. The monitor syncs flawlessly and automatically with the Samsung Health app via wifi or BT.
@@ccope8853 I also use a smart Blood Pressure cough made by withings. It works pretty well and I can sync with Google fit as well as Samsung Health and apple health but it would be nice if they could get it approved in the US.
Looks stunning. Debating one. I've got the original Samsung galaxy watch which is in my drawer. Currently got the google pixel watch which I'm not a massive fan of. Does this integrate with fitbit? Your reviews are amazing i gotta say!! Subscribed!
i have never seen a better review
Which model support 5 g esim support for calling ? Price and offers ?
How this galaxy watch6 classic compares to gear s3? I'm quite inclined to upgrade
Do you think it is possible for samsung give us an update that will make our battery life on the galaxy watch 6 classic last longer? I've seen watches like the Amazfit that have like 300mah and can last more than 5 days with AOD on and other stuff.
Is it just my watch but I face this issue when I rotate the bezel, most of the times it doesnt go to the other tile. Any ways to fix this issue?
