Stunning design and impressive…

Samsung remain on top of the game with the Galaxy Watch6 Classic. Sporting the latest Wear OSv4 and Samsung’s superb OneUI v5 skin for extra features and functions.
We see the return of the rotating bezel, strangely omitted last year. This time it’s slimmer, allowing a larger sharp, vibrant and very bright 47mm display. It’s readable in the brightest sunlight and it’s responsive and super smooth. The bezel gives you an intuitive way to navigate.

The design with stainless steel and sapphire glass is very premium, especially in silver. It has a decent weight too. It looks extremely classy. The watch bands new easy release catch is also welcome. Media is handled well, the built in speaker is loud. I’ve had excellent connection to my phone at all times too.

Built-in apps have everything covered, like Google maps and contactless payments and a suite of health apps. The Play Store is available for countless additional apps.

The range of exercise monitors is staggering, and I make full use of the health sensors. Tracking my blood pressure (initially requires calibration with a regular BP cuff), SPO2 levels, heart rate and ECG. They’ve proven to be quite accurate when measured against medical grade devices. I also track sleep, which collaborates with my phone to detect things like snoring and breathing. Results are very detailed and informative. Stress level monitoring has a fantastic breathing tool to help relax you.

My only criticism is battery life. I have to charge it every 1.5 days. I could get longer, but I like the ‘always on display’. I want a watch to always show the time. Still it does charge very quickly.

I absolutely love the watch, it looks stunning and performs perfectly for me. I have no hesitation in recommending this. It’s another winner for Samsung.
