ADDITIONAL REVIEW NOTES:
30% smaller bezel with larger displays and a bunch of new features.
Two sizes: 43mm and 47mm (extra 3mm is for bezel)
Larger display now! 1.5” and 1.3”
Now 10.9mm thick
Sapphire Crystal
AMOLED 480×480 or 432×432 display which is about 14% more pixels vs last year
IP68 + 5ATM
One click bands!
Actually a bunch of new bands including the feather band and
It looks to me like they are backwards compatible – simple pin design
WearOS 4 with OneUI 5 Watch
Will no longer reset when you switch phones
FEATURES
Personalized HR zones
More auto tracked workouts
As soon as you enter flex mode on the Flip, you get a camera controller notification on the watch
SmartThings Find helps you locate your phone even when disconnected
Samsung Pay now brings the complete wallet including transit cards, etc
Cycle tracking using the temp sensor
Health sensors
Temperature sensor, body composition, HR, SPO2, ecg, blood pressure (sort of)
HR LEDs switch to infrared when you are sleeping so you don’t wake up (vs bright green) – but why include both? Why not switch over entirely to infrared? I didn’t get an answer from Samsung but they all assured me it did not affect accuracy at all
Internals
2GB RAM now instead of 1.5
Still 16GB storage
Bluetooth 5.3
Exynos 930 vs last year’s 920 (was 1.18GHz, now 1.4GHz) so maybe similar chip, just clocked higher, or maybe with other modifications
I would expect it to be about 10% faster
425mAh & 300mAh batteries, was 410 and 284 last year, so perhaps a 4-5% boost
I would like to see a dimmer AOD, and I want to see better Google Assistant integration. I look forward to testing!
Pricing is $399 for 43mm and $429 for 47mm. A whopping $100 more for basically the same watch, but a more premium build. I will do a direct comparison once I have both in hand.

I have been using the Samsung watch since the first watch came out.
From the S2 , watch 3 , 4 and last year the 5.
The 5 definitely has the best battery. Did regret that the bezel was gone. But soon I got used to it. So not sure yet which watch 6 it will be.
You yourself state that you find the watch too heavy to have it on at night. I must say since the beginning of the first one I always have it on at night. With the S2 it was more difficult. That one really drained too fast and had to be charged more often. So sometimes not wearing it overnight. With the 3 it went like better. And now I have the 3 4 and 5 all 3 in use. So for the 5 pro I can easily do 3 days. But if it needs charging I use the 4. And sometimes still the 3. But it is used less now because because of the google controls I started to like it more. And 3 is tizen still. So I still use that one but only so it charges occasionally and gets updates as needed. The 2 watches before it I also still have. Never use them anymore. But when I charge them they definitely still do. Am just frugal and so never damaged.
Am curious though if you have any findings on the watch 6 battery after this video.
this thing is so fugly compared to the Apple Watch ultra
That's a cool watch. So cool actually that I have already pre-ordered it 🙂
Trading my watch 3 for this, can't wait for it to arrive!
I love having the option of digital finger swiping and a ohysical bezel. Makes me feel like I'm doing something haha. Galaxy watch 4 classic guy here😅❤
Black or silver….hmmmm not sure which to get.
Can this watch run ok using Google fold?
Careful while ordering one from T-Mobile. They sent me a 4 and charged me to send it back.
I found the watch 4 Classic to be more laggy and slow and with the "overheating" message popping up every time you use LTE it's a no brainer that I'm trading the watch 4 Classic for the 6 Classic
Yes, Mike. A comparison would be nice. Thanks!👍
Thank you for the informative video. Just a quick question: What size is the watch shown in 1:55 ?
Have a 1 and 5 pro. The 1 has the longest battery life.
I just preordered the new Galaxy watch classic 6! I can not wait to get it on the 7th ❤
I got a pretty good amount off part exchanging my old Samsung galaxy watch active2. I'm really looking forward to the upgrade 😊
Yes! Please do a watch 4 and watch 6 classic comparisons. I have the watch 4 and it still works great for me. I'm not sure I need to update to the 6 unless it has some much better benefits to merit the cost. Thanks!
If you are going to keep upgrading on the Galaxy Watch series be sure to take advantage of the trade-in program. 300USD in discounts for preorder + trade-in (5 pro) on my order of the 47MM.
In layman's terms, can you explain the "3D Hall Sensor" and why you want it in a watch?
"At the end of the day, what ultimately makes the difference is the battery life. The other improvements, from my perspective, do not justify an upgrade at all. I'd rather have a Galaxy Watch 5 Pro with 3 days of battery life than a Galaxy 6 Classic with maybe 1 1/2 days of battery life."
lol this watch comes with a downgraded battery compared with 5 pro.
If u really keen to have a bezel and cry about it, go for it.
it doesnt matter for me and i can go full 3 days on without any problems.
4 classic vs 6 classic would be a good comparison ngl
Only upgrading because i have the watch5 44mm. I want a much better battery this time. If i had the 5 pro already I definately wouldnt upgrade.
I wish people talked more about the sleep tracking on Samsung. It literally puts the Apple watch into the geound as far as useful information goes. Also, the Body Composition feature is amazing. I do think the Fat % is a little off because I have other devices for Body Comp but still an excellent tool to have.
Please compare it to the Galaxy watch 3 classic so we know how much of an upgrade this will be.
Where is the 6 pro? Can't do 1.5 day battery at all. I like the 6 classic look a lot, but 1.5 day battery is a deal breaker full stop. You can wear the 5 pro for 4 days and charge it while showering for like 2 days added battery.
Blood pressure? are you sure?
Could you plz compare the watch 4 classic with the new version.
I would like to know if it's worth investing in the new one. Thank u
I can't wait till I get my 6 classic
I don't use the health tracking so probably stay with my S3 frontier
does indeed galaxy 6 classic does not support gpx file import and does not have step by step navigation. do you plan to compare 6 classic vs 5 pro?
I have the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic and would love to see some comparison with the brand new Galaxy Watch 6 Classic. I'm very happy Samsung finally brings back the rotating bezels. Cheers.
I still have the active 2 and still love it
I wish they have a 52in watch. I'm a big man with big fingers
5pro is still better. Wonder what the 6pro will look like
Nice video
I'm looking for a justifiable excuse to upgrade from the 4 classic to the 6 classic. From what I can see, there is no real point to upgrading. So make that video!
I'm glad the rotating bezel is back. I will say I'll probably keep my watch 5 pro. You should go a comparison between the 5 pro and the 6 classic
For me it comes down to batter life and battery only. I had a Honor Magic 2 and currently a Amazfit GTR 3 Pro and I can get 1.5 to 2 WEEKS. I can live with like 3-5 days or so it doesn't even need to be that good… but every device that's come out in the past several years is 1.5 at best or usually less and that's just a joke! Do better companies! The gap between them and the 2 I've used is just insane. I don't even know what's missing from mine that affects battery life so much either. There's nothing I can thinking of that I want that it can't do except ECG would be cool to have though not really needed.
