Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Review - Samsung Does It Again! 

Just got the classic yesterday and I am so impressed with this watch! My first Samsung and I am very happy with it!

I turn off animations, aod and most vibrations and easily get 3 days. It is accurate enough for my use and integrates well wity my Z Flip 5.

Des you rock! thanks for the informative video

another great video Des!

Excellent informative video thank you

Thanks for the review! I am considering this watch vs Venu 3.

For the serious fitness people, there are other devices which blow the Watch 6 classic out of the water. For the rest of us I find the health features can be an indication, not accurate. I’m looking for the best looking best feeling smart watch. I’m happy with the W6C. Battery life is good, better than the W4C and approaching the W5P which I happily traded in.

Love the Watch 6 for my running, i can hear every time i run 1km, and can see my progress through the health app. Without paying Strava or Apple extras.

It's a great smart watch and looks fantastic. I mostly wear my Fenix but it's fun to use every once in a while for it's much better smart watch features

Got a GW4, as a watch it's great as for fitness I stick with my polar HR strap. Still baffled why Samsung won't allow pairing with an external HR monitor, would give the watch a real boost. Great vid as always Des!

Hi! Thanks for the video! Can the bike ride be shown in the phone like the iPhone?

I gave up Samsung for Garmin a few years ago.

Hey Des, nice Video as always. Quick question: Do you know when the Fenix 7 pro updates (endurance score, hill score,…) will come to the normal fenix 7 Series? (Europe)

I ran my FR 255 with my GW6 side by side on a few outdoor paths and such and it was almost identical. I've not done any track runs, but I honestly hate running tracks.

Nice watch😮

need some advice here. If i can get the Coros Pace 2 and the Galaxy Watch6 the same price, which should i choose? I mainly run and cycle.

Not having everything available without a Samsung phone makes this a no go for me. I do like the look of it though. Not enough to leave my pixel phone though

Have had both Garmin and now Samsung. Both my wife and I have found the Garmin more stable. The Samsung watch 5 series looks great, but definitely has its quirks. And don’t bother with the 40mm sizes. While there are some nice evolutionary steps with the 6, it’s certainly not near enough to make me jump from the 5.

Our eyes don't perceive brightness linearly, but logarithmically. This means that doubling the nits does not make the screen look double in brightness. Nits would have to approximately quadruple to make the screen seem double in brightness for our eyes.

It's really cool to work and travel with LTE but for fitness is so bad that i just had to trade it for garmin since it can't even pair a HRM properly without some google fit workaround that still miss samsung supposely metrics.... i wish they at least let you connect a HRM because i miss the LTE but well let's see if garmin do some magic with LTE same as they did with amoled and get some good battery if they introduce it in some of their watches :P

I still like my GW4 is just sad they dont support HR chest straps.. this alone makes it lose vs all the other watches in fitness.

Worth upgrading from the galaxywatch active 2 ?

Is it me or can't i not access the galaxy store through my wearble apps. It always takes me to the watch faces on the google play store

Got a GW3, im so done with constant recharging, going for a solar next!

My garmin Enduro 2 last 35 days and 120 days on battery saving mode

Does it have round trip course like garmin epix?

Giving up my fenix for this watch. I know the health tracking is not as good, but I just need one watch that can literally do it all. Pay for things, take calls, fitness, etc.

is it possible to pair this galaxy watch with coros heart monitor?

No regrets in buying the instinct 2x

Please inform about Body temperature

2:42 nice backround

I use Garmin for exercise, Samsung for smartwatch

Hi DesFit, what fitness tracker do you recommend that's accurate, but does not cost an arm and a leg

What watch are you wearing currently?

Samsung Galaxy watch 6 has a blood pressure feature ? that's great!

Best looking galaxy watch? The S3 frontier and 42mm were by far the nicest ones they ever made.

I wish they come get in the game . I would love a samsung watch but there are too many sacrifices you have to make to own one. Not being able to use external sensors like hr and stryd are deal killers for me . I need accurate data . And galaxy just doesnt have it

Still no external hr monitor support?

My GM1 still has a longer battery than my GM% pro. Not sure there is an upgrade here.

Is there a possibility to connect the whatch to a chest wrap? Like Polar H10 for example?

If this watch could connect to an external HR sensor, it would be a definite Go... is Samsung planning to produce external HR sensors or are they so stubborn that they are saying that their HR accuracy is good enough and we do not need external HR?

6:55 Why does the galaxy say 5,345ft elevation gain when all the other devices say roughly half of that?

What chest straps do you use? And great video 👏

What size is he wearing?

I want one but I can't be without my Garmin accuracy and stat history. And Garmin golf is way too important to me to change as well. I have the Venu2 which is great but some of the pixels are starting to bleed. Very disappointing

I think they look much nicer than AWs….but that’s about it for the most part

Dumb question but I'm guessing the GPS only works when you're connected to your phone? Thanks

I don't think it's really worth an upgrade, but since my watch 4 classic is only bluetooth version, i will upgrade to 6 classic LTE

I see no one is talking about Watch6 LTE overheating problem during calls, samsung has not addressed this problem!!

I just replace my Samsung Watch for a Garmin one and I have no regret at all. Just for the gain of battery life, the change is worth it. Also, samsung really need to work on the Heart Monitor. My samsung watch was losing pretty often my heart rate during training....

Turn off all the system vibration and change the animation duration to 0.5. Watch battery last much longer and becomes so smooth and fast

I gave up on android and samsung and all that jazz. Will they support the software after 2-3years? That’s a big concern of mine.

2:30 “Sapphire” lens 🤣

Which one u have, 43 or 47 and what size ur wrist is?

the galaxy watch looks so good compared to the boxy apple watch

My GF has a galaxy watch 4. It used to sync with strava through the strava app on the watch but for some reason stopped and wont sync anymore. Also it seems that if you do a workout using the built in workout app it wont sync with strava either. Typical Samsung crap software. Have they fixed it on these newer devices?

I had the Galaxy Watch 4, 5 Pro and Now the Classic 6 47mm and well what was the point of upgrading? I wanted the rotating bezel and it only cost me $136 to upgrade with trade-in. Will I wear the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic 47mm? NO! Why? Because I bought my first Garmin Watch in June a Garmin Epix Pro (Gen 2) - Sapphire Edition | 51 mm Titanium and I just don't see the point of wearing the Samsung Galaxy Watches anymore. The Garmin features, fit, watchband, Customizations, Connect app and web dashboard when integrated with scale and blood pressure cuff on the Garmin really is way ahead of the Samsung Galaxy Eco-system and for the couple of smart features that you can't have on the Garmin it really doesn't matter. Everything about the Garmin outweighs the Samsung. Too bad the Galaxy is a heavy steel compared to the feather light Garmin Titanium. It's a win-win for Garmin! I am not looking back! Bye for now Samsung.

The back fell off my GW3 😢

Hi Des. I've seen you've reviewed some fitness watches like Samsung or Apple - are you going to review the Amazfit Cheetah?

DURABILITY TEST?! How tough is that glass really?

Bet watch 7 pro will mimic the watch 5 refresh

Doesn't seem any different than the watch I have from years ago..

why is garmin able to have a watch with amoled screen that lasts 5 days and samsung cant???

Nevermind the battery life, i have 2 galaxy watch 6 44mm and i switch every 24h. I have perpetual battery life.

As a user of GW4C I can't see the WOW difference between them. I woud upgrade if the Samsung did a major change on the sensor/battery like Appel did with the ultra version, but spend that kind of money in something that is more of the same for me it doesn't make sense.

Just got mine and I'm probably returning it. It's brand new and SOOOOO slow. Probably slow AF because it's bogged down with data gathering bloatwear so they can track my every movement.

When samsung fixes their hrm i'll throw money after them.

Seems to me that the 6 classic is clearly the 4 classics successor and not the 5 pro's. it's almost identical to the 4 complete with the same looks and woeful battery. Here's hoping the 7 will be the 5 pro's successor equipped with a rotating bezel. But i'm not holding my breath. Also, fast charging isn't new, the 5 range has the exact same charging, the 5 pro took 1.5 hours to fully charge due to the almost double sized battery which gives 4+ days with AOD off.

I decided not to buy Samsung watches anymore after they denied repairing my Watch 5 pro and sent it back broken. This is twice in a row now that my samsung watch (both 4 classic and 5 pro) died within a year. They fixed my 4 classic no problem but they denied my 5 all up and down.

I just wish someone would make a more feminine watch with GPS. Garmin has the vivomove line, but none of them have their own gps. 😭

Wish the lug was a bit shorter, the 47mm event looks big on your wrist 😂

The sensors of every kind are too inaccurate for the watch to be taken seriously. Especially that BMI readinfg,but I couldn't believe even the GPS is crap. It's the sixth generation, you would Samsung would have more pride with its work😅

Great watch if you use a Samsung phone if not forget it. At least Apple warn you it only works with an iPhone

Battery life is the only thing that matters...and this ain't it!

If they achieve at least 2 weeks of battery life, then I will consider buying it. For now though, it's a deal breaker.

Sensors are bad, for one more year

Does this watch sensor track better than other watches for hairy dark skinned people. Watch sensors notoriously have a better time tracking hairless lighter skin tones and harder time tracking hairy darker skins.

Nice scratch on the glass... 😉

That's not true black

Doesn’t last but 4 hours and don’t even look at the time. Got a replacement and did the same. Pure trash.

Instead of blaming the watch for bad GPS accuracy, maybe try running like a sober person. 😂😂😂

I clicked on your video to hear opinions on the tech not tohear about your "beef" with another RU-vidr. Stick to the plot and purpose of your videos going forward.

Bezel is most useless thing dunno why people are going insane over it i have watch 5 pro and it is great, better than watch 6

Geez Dude - you are difficult to understand. You go through periods where it sounds like you leave out every other letter or word...

battery life is a joke... I can't understand what Apple and Samsung's problem is putting a battery in their devices that can last at least a week or so...
