[GaryB82]

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 is the latest smartwatch from Samsung, and it's packed with new features and improvements. Both sizes have a Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 360 x 360 pixels.

The Galaxy Watch 6 is powered by the new Exynos W930 chipset, which offers a significant performance boost over the previous generation. The watch also has 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage.

In terms of health features, the Galaxy Watch 6 has a number of new additions, including an ECG sensor, a blood oxygen sensor, and a body composition sensor. The watch also has a new sleep tracking feature that provides more detailed insights into your sleep patterns. Health Features Including

Advanced Sleep Coaching, ECG / Irregular Heart Rhythm Notification, Personalized Heart Rate Zones, BIA (Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis), Skin Temperature / Cycle Tracking and Blood Oxygen

The Galaxy Watch 6 runs on Google's Wear OS 4 operating system, which means you can access a wide range of apps and services on the watch. The watch is also compatible with Samsung's One UI Watch software, which offers a number of customization options.

The Galaxy Watch 6 is available for purchase now, and prices start at 299.99 for the 40mm and 329.99 for the 44mm and for the Watch 6 Classic with its rotating bezel 399.99 for the 43mm and 429.99 for the 47mm before trade in

The sleep tracking on many W6C's is way off. We get single-digit deep sleep numbers and bizarre chunks of awake time that never happened, not to mention a lot of Sleep Mode weirdness. It's great that yours seems to be functioning somewhat normally, but that doesn't seem to be particularly common.

Interesting take on others complaints. Perhaps never having a watch before puts you a bit on the outside of what ppl are experiencing. Devices arriving early is hardly unheard of during samsung pre-order sales. Also seems unlikely ppl are experiencing medical misunderstandings. For example doubt ppl are getting readings suggesting they have a condition only to visit a medical professional and find out otherwise then complain to Samsung for misleading them with their device inaccuracies. The overall tone of many complaints is that Samsung advertised improvements on a new device that aren't matching previous generations. They can't tell us the sensors, battery and tracking are improved from our older devices and think customers won't notice when their are bugs or downgrades in performance.

Thank you for your observation. I understand where you are coming from.

I would like to see Samsung add GMT itself as an available time zone in the World Clock.

Also, I upgraded from the Galaxy Watch to the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic. This has been a nice jump/upgrade for me. It's a very nice Watch with a wonderful bunch of features.

no it is trash... it cannot do standalone... but the last update it looks like stopped burning peoples flesh on their arms. lte version is only a "number_share" buddy... smartwatch 4 could be used as  a standalone cell device not the smartwatch 6 #downgrade

Just a quick reivew on the 6 47mm Classic.  Traded in the 5 Pro for the much missed rotating bezel.  First thing I noticed was the increase and size and the screen was much better on the 6. AOD is turned off everything else I left alone for now.   I just received it Wednesday and used it for two days.  Had a couple of problems but similar problems also occurred on the Watch 4 and 5.  First problem was downloading music to the watch from both YouTube and Amazon.  WiFi was turned on and bluetooth was running.  About 2 hours later no music was downloaded.  What I had to do was turn off Bluetooth so the watch consistently used Wifi.  I found that with Bluetooth on WiFi would just stop and both services download over WiFi only apparently (the 5 Pro was like this also).  Second problem I had was I started an exercise just shut down after starting.  I started the app to record a general weight lifting exercise and remember hearing the beeps on startup.  20 minutes later I check the watch and the app was not running so the time was not recorded.  This also happened a few times on the 5 Pro, very infrequent.  I did one 90 minute exercise yesterday using GPS and music, no phone with me.  The battery was at 93% when I started and finished at 68%.  25% used for GPS and music.  Most likely will be a daily charger for me, not a big deal.  The size for me at 47mm is probably the biggest I would go for my wrist.  The 6 Classic is not as thick as the 5 Pro so it is more comfortable to wear.  Other than the smaller battery I really like the changes Samsung did this year.

I just upgraded to the 6 Classic 47mm from the Watch 4 44mm. I love it. Bigger, brighter, clear very snappy compared to the 4. Battery ehhh but I am using AOD but that may be turned off soon.

But I think it's a nice upgrade. Hardware and software wise. Plus I missed the rotating bezel, so glad to have that back.

I got the 44 mm battery life not so great but the design and hardware is a lot faster
