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.

Blood pressure measurement has yet to be approved by the FDA, so the feature isn't available in the United States yet. Other countries do have this functionality, however.

Thank you very much, now I understand. Any ideas how to fix it in the meantime?

Other than having a 3rd party blood pressure monitor/cuff/device, there isn't (to my knowledge) a way to measure your blood pressure on Galaxy Watches in the US.

I have the watch 5 Pro and love it except I cannot look at my Dexcom G6 sugar readings on it. This is very disappointing given that almost all android watches have a watch face for that very purpose. Unless the Watch 6 has that feature. I would be very hesitant in buying one. Other than that, they are an excellent watch!!

The Watch6 measures skin temp while sleeping. How does one measure it awake?

Great question! When will this be a feature?

I have had the Galaxy watch 6 for a week now no issues what's everyone's thoughts on the watch 🙂

Meh. It's not really an upgrade from anything previous.

• It has no way to backup thanks to samsung breaking the backup mechanism by forcing smart switch which doesn't work with anything but samsung watches
• the battery charging is a bit touchy which didn't use to be the case before. Now, when I put the watch on the puck, it's a 50-50 chance it won't charge by the time I have picked it back up again
• There's no real "upgrade" in terms of software or hardware, sure, a little bigger face but seriously, 1mm is not "bigger" (for the classic) and the software is just the same. It's as if they just needed to come out with a "new" version so they did the bare minimum and put this out for us all to be their beta testers
• There's no real incentive to upgrade I found out after I did. The "free" watchband is really sad because it feels like those 80s wallets with velcro. Matter of fact it IS a velcro watchband which is a really embarrassing thing to release for a company like samsung (they won't understand nor care because I think they're just phoning it in with this release)

The major hardware improvements for the Watch 6 Series included the return of the rotating bezel for the Classic, double the screen brightness (2,000 nits), 2GB RAM, and a new processor. 🙂 In terms of software, the Watch 4 and 5 are running the beta of the stable version of One UI Watch 5 that the Watch 6 currently has, so many things will "feel" similar between the models.

The touch to wake screen on the 6 classic 47mm is glitchy the 5 pro was excellent. I have to push one of the side buttons to wake it sometimes
