Overall A Decent Watch

I am not new to Samsung galaxy watches having owned the previous Galaxy Watch 5. When the watch 6 classic arrived I was surprised how minimalist the package it comes in was, I literally just had to break the security seals and then pop the box open and their the watch was no messing around having to remove loads of packaging. Setting up the watch was very easy especially since I had the galaxy wear app installed on my phone due to already owning a watch 5. The app made it easy to transition to the new watch 6 classic from my old watch 5 by transferring my apps and settings I already had on my old galaxy watch for me.

The watch is much bigger than my old watch 5 with a lot more screen space and a more premium robust look to it. I love the rotating bezel it makes scrolling through notifications so much easier than having to swipe along using my fingers. I find the battery life to be very good lasting an average of around 40 hours before needing to be charged which suits my needs. The health apps/features on the watch are great from constantly recording my heart rate automatically to being able to carry out and ECG whenever I feel the need to. I also love the blood pressure monitor feature however you do need to use a proper cuff based blood pressure monitor to set it up and then re-calibrate it once a month. Comparing the blood pressure data I get from the watch against a proper blood pressure monitor gives me pretty much the same results so the blood pressure feature on the watch seems to be accurate. The sleep feature is great showing me a breakdown on the samsung health app of the different stages of sleep I had on that particular night and giving me a sleep score based on the data the watch has collected.

Overall I love this watch especially the big 47mm size and the rotating bezel which makes using the watch so much easier.
