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)
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'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 👍🏼
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.
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?
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.
@@amnelruin4837 Yeah, especially a company like Apple. Their prime directive is earning money as much as they can and don't care about the customer as long they buy.
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!
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.
@@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.
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 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!
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👊👊
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.
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
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 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.
Just got mine one without rotating bezel, has touch bezel. . But really like it, Best Buy new 44 mm. I wish I could get my old watch faces from Samsung, haven’t tried yet. Good to be back with Samsung. It’s a great watch.
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! 💯👍💝
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!!!
I had the first n 2nd galaxy watches when they first came out and now I'm back, just bought this bad boy and it is legit. I got the 47mm but trust if you're very active 44mm will be perfectly fine. All the accessories like bands n stuff you can buy just makes it even better
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 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.
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.
I have the 4 classic, ordered the 6 classic with a $200 trade in but changed my mind and ordered the 5 pro with a $220 trade in just because of the battery, hope I did the right choice.
I was holding myself from buy a Watch5 Pro thinking Samsung would come out with something better this year. After seeing Watch 6 and 6 Classic, I am thinking of getting a Watch5 Pro as well.
you did because the watch 5 pro can last to 5 or 6 day but the watch 6 classic due to its smaller battery and bigger screen so it would be abel to last more than 3 days with med uage
Watch 5 pro battery is hella good but the bezels really annoying imo and the not having the rotating bezel sucks that's y I'm trading for the watch 6 classic for like 60 dollars only thing is the 6 classic got steel and the 5 pro had titanium which is a downgrade fs
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.
I just upgraded from the Watch 5 44mm to the Watch 6 Classic 47mm Silver. With trade in and student discount, it came up to £155! So it was a no brainer.
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😔👎
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).
I have a working ECG on my Watch 4. I expect my Watch 6 to have it too. Blood Pressure is off on the Watch 6 due to FDA approval issues. I want a complication, tile, or widget that reports the results from my Continuous Glucose Monitor, which go directly to my phone now. So far, in order to get that information, I had to use a watchface that basically shows only the glucose information and the time, meaning that I can use no other Watch faces or I have to switch back and forth between faces.
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.👍🏾💯
@@droetkaarliterally did just that. Watch 4 to 6 classic. Already have it for some days. Will never regret it, I absolutely love how polished and premium it looks and feels.
I like the review but I disagree with the need for a super fitness related watch, the classic series to me should be an all around watch where as the galaxy watch active series is for fitness, I personally don't use my watch for the fitness features as much as I do for the messaging, alarm, calendar and other productivity widgets that help me maintain efficiency throughout my day
One thing that bugs me is that the Camera Controller only works if you have a Galaxy S, Z or Note phone. If you own an A, F or M series phone you cannot install the Camera Controller.
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 😅😅
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.
Nice video. I've been wanting a Galaxy watch for 2 years now, but I know they are less accurate than the Apple watch 7, for instance, regarding heart and sleeping track. I'll have to see a few more videos before I decide if I need to wait for yet another year till I get it.
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
Im not sure, but i noticed one big issue with LTE models. A lot of people complain that watch is overheating when using LTE service and watch stand alone. Do any owners of SWC 6 LTE confirm if watch overheating or not ?
@simonbroad3914 I just received 3rd replacement and am still have the same problem. Watch is overheating when stand-alone and using LTE for calls or data, like streaming music. I'm in the area of ok mobile service and in 72° home. Anybody else.
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.😢
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
Hello. How many days would be the battery life If I will wear this watch during all day, but only use the sleep mode? I mean I would turn OFF the wifi, ECG, always on display, bluetooth. I dont want to calculate with gym and training, because it is totally different. So anyone has experience in this kind of battery life?
I have an original SGW with rotating bezel and I don't see a reason to spend $479US for the "upgrade". Plus I want one in tan color like the $200 Amazfit T Rex 2. Why can't Samsung offer more color choices?
I'm pretty disappointed in samsung watch products (I own 4 watches), but with coupon stacking and trade-in hawking I can usually get a flagship top end watch for around $200 (near release) which is right around what I think they're actually worth. As a side note, with amazon warehouse hawking I can usually get a 1 or 2 gen older model for around $40-60. I have a Galaxy 4 Classic right now and even after watching this I don't have any desire to upgrade yet. There needs to be high heart rate accuracy, better battery life, and the features just need to work better PERIOD before I'm a frequent upgrader.
i love my 6 classic and irecommend the WatchFace MARINE COMMANDER because the AOD is so perfect that it dose not look dim without draining your Battery
Excellent comprehensive review, covering issues others ignore. One question - how does the battery life compare between the 43 mm and 47 mm? Think the 47 might be too big for my 6.5 inch wrist.
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 ! :)
@@patiencej.7963 Pretty good. I've worn it all day today, haven't been that active but it's now at 86%. On a regular workday it's at 75% or so when I go to sleep. But I charge my battery every night anyway. Force of habit
I just returned mine. I'm not being funny I did a test and the thing on battery saving mode with NOTHING on didnt last longer than 9 hours. How do I get to use the sleep tracker if it doesn't even last until I go to bed? Had it for about 5 days trying different things to preserve battery life but the thing is useless. It's a shame as it is a really nice watch.
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
Ah my galaxy watch 4 gets me 2 day with Bluetooth on constant heart rate and sleep on. And this in some reviews seemed to go down 2% less than watch 4 classic an hour so I have great expectations for 2-2.5 days
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.
Finally excellent review very in depth look. I've ordered mine the LTE version but has been delayed until next week. I think I got a good deal they have given me £75 for my Galaxy Frontier which I think was excellent as they are really not worth anything at all. Only doubt I'm having is the colour I've ordered the black but the silver one looks really good too what's ur opinion mate?
Good to know about the battery i never wanted a smart watch now that their cracking down o. Cell phone use now i want one and cant wait! Got this one from amazon prime day! 250 got a fancy band and bezel cant wait!😅😊
Golly, I really hope that Air Charging technology that College made goes public. The Idea if being able to use this to track your bed time and day time activity yet be forced to miss a day of tracking is just frustrating. Would love for it to just charge when you are at home through the air.
Your advertised battery life for the Galaxy watch. 5 Pro was incorrect, Samsung says that you can get up to 80 hours of use. The other watches are half of that unless it's the Galaxy Watch 3 classic, which will last me 2 to 3 days.
