i like the detail you put on this review rather than just repeating the manufacturer booklet
Lovd the video! I just bought the watch 6 as my first smartwatch to track runs and track my steps. It has now become an important part of my set up.
same
Amazing review as always. And this came at the perfect time (pun) for me. Thanks for the upload man 🙌🏿
NFC pincode step is in effort to eliminate hackers using NFC in your proximity, stealing your card info or charging your watch as you walk by them
Galaxy watch 5, thought eating pasta for 10 minutes, is sleeping.,... and got 16minutes of deepsleep
Yeah the sleep tracking sucks. But when I had the Active 2 it was pretty accurate and also then Samsung let you edit the sleep times.
Damn guess it was sleepy pasta 😅 ..... I'll just head out
@@barronthagod nah you can stay, that was a good one😂
😅😂
Maybe ur wife added sleeping pills in the pasta
@JSyntax there's the tap, double tap, triple tap, and ball your hand in a fist gesture under accessibility. That allows you to navigate around the watch, select items, go back a page, etc.
I tried it but I found it too clunky. I just wish we had apples new double tap on the hand gesture that they recently introduced. I find the wrist gesture to invoke my Google Assistant to not be very dependable or very clunky as well
Missed your videos, great as always.
Thank you!
Thank you for this awesome review❤ It was really detailed with every information you need. I found this channel just a few weeks ago but i love it😅Keep going with your cool reviews! Also greetings from Germany thats why my english isn't that good😊
Loved your video review. I'm new to this watch and have a question of how do I review my step account for a day/date in the past week?
That was a really good review. Well done and thanks from Sunny Spain
Jealous of your weather
Excellent review! I enjoyed it!
Glad you enjoyed it!
That workout tracker is no nonsense and I'd love that
Thanks for such a thorough unbiased review. This is extremely useful information. Also love that you use the regular S23 like I do. We are in the minority but just love the size its not so heavy and clunky.
Glad it was helpful!
Very good review, Thank you for taking the time to review!
Late response - but I went back and fourth on buying this watch. I'm a natty bodybuilder, road cyclist and I'm a Torontonian as well. Essentially needed something for work, and to check my steps so I don't need to constantly grab my phone as I feel like it's taking over my life. It's because of this review I decided to buy it. Thanks man, it has improved my daily tasks/activities tremendously.
Right on!
Great review. I didn't see the link for the brick
new subscriber, love your style of video making, professional yet still being personal. may you find great success with this channel!!
Thank you so much!
Great video man!! Keep them coming.
Than you!
Very good, well thought out, detailed, useful info review. I thought the camera function was gimmicky but this is the first explanation I’ve seen for using it to frame shots for youtube videos. Seems like a great idea. I think maybe the larger classic model would be even more useful in that use-case. BTW, I have the s23 plus. Possibly smaller minority than s23 owners.
Thank you! Yes agreed
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Good review thanks
Great review! Thanks man for reviewing it. I learned a lot about watch 6. And I also used the white S/M fabric band and it's extremely comfortable.
The fabric band is so comfortable I love it
great review !!!! so good
just ordered the 47mm in silver. Can't wait!! I have small wrists too, but for me, the bigger the better. Great review!
Good choice!
Can you tell where u buy the band? Especially the fabric one. Tq
hi i really enjoyed the video. could you please tell me which watch face you are using please. thanks in advance.
I’ve had several Garmin watches and the Samsung watch 3. I’ve just bought the Samsung watch 6. Yours is a truly amazing video. I’ve learned so much. Thank you. I would encourage anyone to watch your channel. Now that I have discovered your channel, I’m looking for the next production from you.
Loved the video! Very good in depth review! ❤
Great video, i was vascillating between a 5 pro, 6 classic and the 6 44mm, however after this video i went into the store and compared sizes, and realised that the 40 mm, was a good choice..I have ordered my 40 mm, thank you for the informative video.
Hello!
It's been 2 months, how has your watch been?
Such a great video, many thanks!
great video. Thank you for the time you took to put it out 🙌
This is one of the most impressive and detailed reviews I have seen for a product of any type. A++ Well done!
Wow, thanks!
I enjoy watching your videos. Your voice is soothing and you seem very natural when you talk about tech. ❤
Wow thank you!
Bro, best review so far, information and delivery were great, thanks.
Thank you!
How do you set up the wireless charging between the watch 6 ⌚ and the Samsung galaxy phones
Do you have an opinion about durability? I have a versa 2 right now and it is VERY durable and would like a smartwatch that has that level of durability and size.
Hi there I really need to know can the watch classic 6 broadcast its heart rate to another machine like a exercise bike etc?
I bought the classic 4 and I love it. Coming from only Fitbit
Love my watch 6 pro. Like you I have sleep apnea and I credit my watch trigger me to schedule a sleep study. I started to see my oxygen level drop into the 80's and some nights even into the high 70's and the snoring app was capturing heavy snoring. Since starting CPAP therapy my SoP rarely drops below 91.
Amazing! It's great
wow, what a thorough review, well done.
Very informative vid thanks!
Greatest video ever about the Watch6. Very well detailed. Congratulations!
Wow that's a nice compliment
Hi I have watched your video GREAT. You do mention your phone is away from you when U work out. l find my watch alarms me that it is not connected Even if I just go out to the garden .there for how can the info be transfered to your watch when you get home.
That app idea would be awesome
Nice review. Went with a Watch 5 pro refurbished for 175 and very happy with everything so far. Thanks for the info.
I was going to get it because i was scared of waterproofing and non oem band and charger
You mention that description has links to the charging stand, but there are no links in the description except for the watch on Amazon.
The green strap on the thumbnail, is that a Samsung official strap ? Looks great & looking to buy one...
Thanks for the video, man! Very informative! I have just one question: do you use some scream or case protector on your watch?
None
I would love to have the same health data capabilities as I had with my fitbit. I liked seeing my previous week's or months data on calories in vs. Calories out. If you build a smart interface that will do it similar to my pervious fitbit, please let me know. Thanks!
Is Fitbit inspire 3 accurate in terms of HR?
I would like to have a stand for my Samsung classic 6 watch . The charging cable is too short to plug in and reach my night stand so it charges on the floor.
I have to enter a pin code when using Samsung wallet on my phone, either that or my finger print. Am I doing something wrong?
getting dirt under you watch is common to all wrist watches if you actually wear them lol
I cannot get the Blood Pressure App on my watch I have a Galaxy Pro 5 any help would be greatly appreciated
Wow! Such a complete review! Thanks for sharing with us your experience with the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6. Personally, I have a better idea of which model should I get.
Glad it was helpful!
Which one are you going to buy
@@JSyntax I'm going for the Watch 6 Classic in black 🙃. Just hoping the one I got comes without a defective strap. In other videos they also mentioned about that watch almost falling down from the wrist. So I guess this is a common issue.
How's the durability? My watch 4 has taken a beating and it is clearly seen; chipped paint all over, scratches on screen etc. If there's one thing in my life I couldn't help but be clumsy with is my watch. Since this has sapphire glass and a non-black color (graphite is what it is called I believe), I would like to hear how well has it help up.
Any idea why my notifications dont work on my watch 4? Ive tried every and still nothing, no notifications, i dont want to buy a new watch , this one is only 15 months old
What about wrist bands sizes like for large wrists?
It would have nice to see some information about what happens when you go out for a walk without the phone etc. But overall I really like your the details. I bought the same wrist you linked. Thank you!
Next time!
Yes, build this strength training app please!
When it comes to battery life would a solar powered smartwatch work?
Am i crazy if go for the 40 mm version and my wrist is 7.9 inches or 20 cm?
I'd find that workout calendar app useful.
Bathurst gym as on Bathurst in North York? Just curious cuz I used to live in Toronto and I got obsessed with maps growing up there
How is the battery life for 4g lte version?
Can I connect it to esim using A24 phone. The phone doesn't support esim. That's why
Ok first of all thanks 4 your review, but.. mine don't record sleeping data every night...idk why...but fails doing it randomly...don't know if its normal or not... If someone have the clue please let me know. I sometimes sleep activateing the sleeping mode or not, and the non recording data happens the same.
What a great review 👌🏻. I have no more questions!! 👍🏻
Thanks for watching!
The link to buy the small watch stand you describe at minute 8:03 is not in the description as you state. Please let me know where to find the stand. Thanks. Great video..
Thanks for reminding me I'll update the link
Hello from Portugal 🇵🇹✌Great video, by the way, thank you 😁 I'm thinking about buying one just like yours, but I'm a bit afraid because, as you and other CZcamsrs said it, it is not very precise in same health features, but I will probably get one anyways, because it has so many amazing others and I think I would really love having one. What I wanted to ask you is if the fact that is the smaller one difficults sending messages or searching on Play Store, for example. I mean "writing" on a smartwatch it's not natural, but it's amazing, and I'm afraid of that, because I have a really small wrist and I think if I choose the bigger one, it will look weird, but on the other hand, if I choose the smaller one, it could difficult that action. I hope you can understand my question, sorry if I made some mistakes. Once again, thank you, have a nice day and keep on doing your job. You just got one more subscriber from Portugal 😁
Hello,
Thank you very much for this video!
I subscribed and liked.
Thanks for the sub!
What strap were you using?
Great review, love my GW6 too ❤
thanks for a great in depth review. very helpful
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent and very informative video. This answered a lot of questions I had about this smartwatch that were specific to my personal needs.
Correct me if im wrong, but that watch isnt pulling nowhere near 15w if its taking over an hour to charge such a small battery
What was the name of that app he mentioned was it called good face?
I dont to enter my Garmin Pay pin every time i pay for something. I only have to do it once after putting the watch on or after 24 hours
On my fold 4 and 5 i use the adaptive brightness but you can set the slider to the brightness you want it to max out at with adaptive brightness switched on! I do this at night when in bed! I only found out this was a thing when actually turned my brightness down on my phone with the adaptive brightness on and it never got any brighter than what i had set it at and i have tried it on my 2022 edition tablet and works on that so give it try on your watch it might work
It doenst behave the same as the phone or tablet sadly. Not sure why
What's the snoring app? I can't find it
I have the watch 4 that I wear faily frequently (but I do have about 15 watches). I think its an alright product but this barely looks any different. The screen is kind of nicer (kind of) but it barely does anything different that I remotely care about. I bought it becasuse it was cheap but from what I see this costs way more than what I paid when this was new. I would just pay twice that price and get a fenix or something. Its nice to have a watch for running but I barely wear it for anything else.
i cant find the blood pressure tile?
Nice vid! Still using Galaxy Watch 3 classic...
The weight difference between the watch 6 and classic is the frame material. Aluminum vs stainless steel... do you work inside 99% or do you work construction?
How do I access Alexa on my Classic 6?
Your video helped me to make a decision. Thank you!
Can you please share what your decision was
Lol
I don't understand why they got rid of the metal bezel? now the screen is under attack, not protected. I would switch to 6, but looking at this, I'd rather stay on my 3
Did you ever come across not getting notifications on the pro 5 that they changed on the galaxy 6. I rarely get the notifications on my pro 5 so needing it to show up would be great on the 6
I fixed this issue by ensuring all the apps that I wanted notifications were enabled within the Galaxy where phone app you need to configure all of it such that these notifications explicitly appear on your watch
I am returning my Watch 6 classic today to buy watch 6, 40 mm. Watch 6 classic is too heavy and bulky on my wrist and I find it hard to wear it in day to day use. So going for watch 6 smallest size.
As I mentioned in the video I do think it takes at least one week to get used to a new watch and new band regardless of the size. Please keep that in mind
I pre ordered the 44mm with the black fabric band and I love it
Me to 44mm is best! But silver colour is nicer ?
@@retirementkhabibnurmagomed7280 I agree
Is that a closed laptop on your desk powering your monitor? How do you set this up? In particular, how do you power it on and off while closed?
Open laptop,
Press the 'on' button,
Close the laptop,
Mission accomplished...
Shutting down is done on the OS.
26:24 samsung actually does make a small fitness tracker, its the galaxy fit 3
5:12 I'm getting Galaxy Watch 6 as a pre-order bonus for S24 Ultra with JB HiFi NZ. It would had been my first Smartwatch.
Same deal only from a Dutch phone provider (technically from samsung themselves, since you need to apply for the watch on their site. With the s22 ultra I got samsung buds, which I love and use quite often, the process was the same though and it took a month or two for them to finally deliver the product. You need to apply with your products codes and take pictures etc. Wait a few weeks for them to check the validity of your application. Then wait another 6 to 7 weeks to get your product.
In the Netherlands with certain providers you get a watch and 120 cashback for 512 and 250 cashback for 1tb. I got 512 because the wording on the site made it seem like you didn't get the watch with the base ultra, which I found out later isn't true. You just don't get the cashback. But since the cashback is roughly equivalent to what you pay extra for the storage. I kinda am switching between regret that I got 512, when I will probably not use that much storage anyway. And regret that I didn't get the 1tb since it's technically a free upgrade and sh.. why not go 4k60fps for all my videos from now on lol
i have 25 wats charger from the phone, is that too much ?
Classic 47mm has 425 battery I only had this watch for 2 week's it's my first smart watch
Thanks for this review, very informative 🙏👏
Glad it was helpful!
Love that you talked about the charger needing to be at least 15 watts as today I was looking for a dedicated charger for the watch, thank you.
Check the link!
@@JSyntaxI actually found a 15watt charger that only has a USB a port and luckily I have a USB c to USB a dongle. Just hope the dongle supports at least 15watts. Thank you for mentioning the link though!
Thank you for the comprehensive review. I got this Watch 6 as a surprise grit from Samsung when I ordered my S23 Ultra. It came separately without a notice or an invoice ($0.00 email invoice). This review was very useful.
Dang thats a nice gift! Congrats!!
Whoa...random
I would be totally ok with it being usbc vs wireless if we can get fast charging.
Thanku so much for this review. And showing the 40mm on your wrist and explaining why you prefer it. And all the aspects of the watch. Don’t stop your videos!
The 44mm has way bigger battery and better screen size
I used sleep mode for about a week, wondering how accurate it was, it seemed OK and then I had the worst sleep of my life, awake virtually all night, and Watch 6 gave me a 90% rating. I don't bother with it anymore, massive breach of trust.
