I have had the Galaxy Watch 6 classic (the larger size) for over 5 months now, and it has been amazing. This watch has good enough battery life. I usually just charge it for 45 Min a day, and I have never had it completely run out of power. I wear this watch to bed, and it was uncomfortable the first few times I had it on my wrist. It is now comfortable to wear to bed now that I switched to a fabric watch band. I have a silver steel watch band too, and it looks amazing with this watch. I have had a couple people think that it was some sort of Rolex. The only complaints with this watch is the randomly sluggish performance and the random battery drain. I would definitely recommend this watch to anyone looking for a wear OS smart watch.
But everyone is saying the sensor on this Watch is full of rubbish….very bad user experience…?
@@brucelin5842 I have never tested the performance of the sensors, but they do seem to be accurate enough for light work outs. Probably not the best for profession athletes though.
@@brucelin5842just yapping watch is the Best
Got the watch6 classic 47mm and I love it. I was concerned about the size since I'm a smaller guy, but the second I put it on I knew I had made the right choice. It's a beautifully badass watch. I like its look and feel and all the functionality. I was never really a smart watch guy before and I've been surprised by how much I like it. My wife recently got an apple watch and I tried to help her set a few things up. Good lord the Samsung is so much easier to use ime
I've been wearing this watch for over 6 months now and it has been a great companion in the gym. I do like to keep track of my calories and workouts. What I do like about the watch Is the size, the style, the rotating crown and the multitude of workouts and apps and watch faces that you can play with. However, what I don't like is the fact that up until this latest update respectively - March, the watch has been very very laggy but now they seem to have fixed it and I'm very happy about it. Also the battery life is just decent. I charge it nearly every day and I've paired it with my pixel 7 pro device. I had also considered a pixel watch and a Garmin venue watch but in the end those are pretty limited and I had to go with the Samsung as in my opinion it offered more than the rest
What’s wrong with Garmin venu ?
I have had a galaxy watch 6 classic for 7-8 months now (silver, 47 mm), I can say it's quite decent. I do like it basically because of its looks and that rotating Basel, I sometimes end up spinning it when I'm bored and it's a nice and quirky feature to have... I'm glad I chose the silver one, It does look classy and it's an eye catcher, it doesn't look like a usual smart watch, especially those bulky Huawei watches. Battery has been good, since I'm not a heavy user I could easily sometimes stretch it to 3 days, as what Damian said is true it's uncomfortable to wear it while sleeping, that does save some battery. I mostly wear it to track my steps, check time, notifications and mostly because I like the way it looks. Paired with a nice band and AOD on its even nicer when going out. Unfortunately the battery drains a lot faster with AOD on, one of the downsides of wearOS smart watches as most of you mentioned. Overall it's very sturdy, I've accidentally hit a lot of things with it and there is not even a scratch on it, I have worn it many times in salty water and there is no damage to it, no need for a screen protector or case, that's the other thing I like about it.
It doesn’t scratch? Even if u knock inside the gym?
Nice video So I actually just got this watch. Maybe couple of months ago I love it. I haven't seen any lag on mines just i knew where can i get a bigger band the 22 mm is too small for my wrist
Love the hi def in this video!! Wish all RUclips videos were this clear!
I have a galaxy watch 4, which is extremely laggy at certain times, which forbids me in getting any newer samsung watches.
Yh not much has changed here. If you're not leaving Android I'd say hold on for 7 and see what they bring.
i was using watch 4 and recently upgrade to watch 6 classic, i wear it all day and i can confirm u will feel the upgrade in performance, the watch works smooth and u will get better experience with it
@@mbsw28 thanks for your review, shall think about upgrading then.
@pratyushdeb Absolutely. It's worth the upgrade.
I upgraded from watch 5 to 6 classic and it's smoother
Not a big difference but it's there
I got the 43 mm Classic LTE since I don't have big wrists. Battery life is just about acceptable over Bluetooth but downright atrocius when connected via cellular. I'm in the habit of turning the bluetooth radio off as soon as the watch switches to cellular just to eke out a tiny bit more battery life. I also have a Watch 5 Pro, which while huge on my wrist is a tiny bit smaller than the 47 mm Classic, and has even better battery life than that
So is it better to get the Watch 5 pro instead?
@@brucelin5842 unless it's too thick, I would say yes. The battery life alone is the biggest reason. There will likely be a watch 7 pro
@@theharesbreath but the 5 pro is using the older chipset…
@@brucelin5842 @brucelin5842 that is correct but in day to day use, there is 0 performance difference between the watch 5 Pro and watch 6. And even if the newer chipset is more efficient, the sheer size of the battery in the watch 5 Pro makes it last longer. The ideal buy would be a watch 7 pro that comes out in a couple months and is basically an updated watch 5 Pro
I love mine Samsung watch 6 classic it's the best working with my Pixel Fold I wear it everyday. Very durable and I'm getting 4 days battery life it controls a lot on my phone very bright easy to see in sunlight. It great fit I have big wrists. Mine always fast better than my Garmin and Sunnto now I don't take to gym. It knows even when your lifting weights.
4 days... mine last only a day. Plz share your settings that have helped you with this much battery life, bro. Many thanks.
Does it auto detect gym activities u do And rep counts?
@@mohammadusman2184 He's a liar.. Max 40-43 hours with everthing off, and 32-36 hours with AOD on and max brightness on..
I have a pretty slim wrist and the 47mm is fine for me. I'm on the 3rd strap hole. The watch face doesn't feel too big but on me there are bigger gaps underneath the sides and my wrist than I would like. Not a huge deal. I do notice the weight, I would go for the smaller version if I used it more as a fitness tracker. If you're looking for a pure smartwatch the 47mm is awesome and don't be afraid of the size even for smaller wrists.
I have a watch4 and comparing it to watch6 (Software and Hardware) i really dont see a reason to upgrade.
I wouldnt buy a WearOs or smartwatch anyway, as i barely use its features..
How to connect iphone. Has anyone been able to connect
I Don’t Think This Watch Is Compatible With IOS Unfortunately.
Random watch activates are a problem for me on the watch 5.
You mean the screen lighting up?
@@lukasjarka5340 Yes. But it's really more of a case of wearing certain gloves that press the buttons. I know that sounds weird but that's one of the issues I run into.
@@Peterstarzynskitech I understand yeah. Unfortunately it's a feature of the watch to turn on when touched. I run into the same issue when I cross my arms for example, as the watchface may touch my other hand and start pressing things.
@@lukasjarka5340 of course it's supposed to turn on and activate when it's touched obviously. But because I wear my watch on the left hand, the buttons are facing towards my hand. So sometimes when I'm wearing my workout gloves it'll press the buttons.
Having just sold my apple watch ultra dor the 6 classic... nothing touches the Ultra . That being said . The way i want it to work, nothing touches Android for me.. just need the pixel watch 2 to let go of the fitbit design
Isn’t ultra much better than this Samsung watch?
When are Samsung going have a watch with good battery life
ok u buy at 400$?
Idk how it's king the battery sucks and it lags like crazy I don't think Samsung will ever get it rite with a smartwatch although the watch 5 pro was decent
It was said by almost all RUclips reviewers that the heart rate sensor and other sensors on this Watch is totally crap, is it true?
False, as long as you wear it properly.
7:20 This effing This! I don't get why they add apps that Google already provide and not being able to remove apps i don't use.
On galaxy watch 6 classic be great so far was i phone had apple watch 8 was not for me
Nice
never buying a scamsung watch again after that stunt they pulled with the watch3 completely ditching tizen for wearos. smfh
Watch 3 just got an update which brings snore detection and new watch faces from watch 5 and 6 series
It's not dumped
American view's
To others always
That big mike stuffed in front of your face is so off putting.
Keep it out of the frame.
Do you need a safe space?
oi oi whats all this then?
I sold mine, still laggy. Switched to apple and Apple Watch is the best smartwatch ever. No lags and apps are prefect. Sorry Samsung but you need many years to get to the level
How did you use the Samsung watch with an iPhone?
@@SterlingSilverTechHad the S24U and now 15PM
@@foetor 👍
There′s no competition against apple watch. But there′s a huge difference in prices: a GW6 44mm for 200-150€ is good
Your main reason to switch from s24U to iPhone?
