Great upgrade from Watch…

Having owned previously both the original Samsung Gear S2 way back in 2015, and more recently the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2, I can say with some certainty that the Galaxy Watch 6 is well worth the upgrade. Having not used a smartwatch in over a year I have missed the health tracking featured the most. The great thing about the Watch 6 is the battery life. With constant heart monitoring, sleep tracking and intelligent workout detection I am getting 2 days battery life easily. I put it on charge using the included USB C to C cable whilst I shower in the morning and I don't have to worry about it lasting throughout the day. The hourly reminders to get up and move are welcomed if not sometimes a bit annoying in a meeting haha. However, the feature I enjoy most is the integration with Stava for my cycling routes. The GPS lock with a phone is fantastic and it never gets the route wrong. After the exercise, I can see exactly how my heart rate varied throughout the ride and compare it to the ascents and descents in the Strava app. Very useful and it has made me want to head out cycling more and beat my best times.
The bright display whilst I am away on holiday has been fantastic, and it knows when the room is dark so you don't get blinded at night. Would definitely recommend to friends!
