    In this review we are going to take a deep dive into the health and sports tracking performance of the new Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 classic by systematically and scientifically evaluating its performance. The Galaxy Watch 6 Classic is Samsung’s most premium smartwatch in the latest generation, and we are going to find out if it lives up to its price-tag. And I have to say, even compared to my previous tests, there were a few surprises. In this video we will be testing the heart rate tracking during exercise, the sleep stage tracking, the GPS or location tracking and the oxygen saturation measurements. Let’s get started!
    For health and sports tracking it appears to be OK, though definitely not great. It does a decent job of tracking your heart rate, as long as the circumstances are in its favor, and the oxygen saturation measurements and GPS tracking appear to be good enough as well, though these are also not amazing. The sleep stage tracking on the other hand does not appear to be that great, and it seemed to generally measure too many awake moments and not enough deep sleep. So, overall, I would give the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic, 3 out of 5 stars. The main issue I have with this watch is that it doesn’t seem to be an improvement over the last two generations of Galaxy Watches. So, from a bang-for-buck perspective, I would be tempted to search for a sale on the Galaxy Watch 5 for instance, or even the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic, and that might provide more value per dollar. The only thing I would be worried about in that case is that Samsung stops supporting the older generations watches sooner than the Galaxy Watch 6. So, it is up to you to decide if that could be an issue. If you do decide to get a Galaxy Watch 5 or 6, a Whoop Strap, another device or anything at all on Amazon for that matter, even something as small as toilet paper, and at the same time support the channel, there are different affiliate and non-affiliate links in the description below that do not cost you any extra and some even provide discounts.

    I have been in touch with Samsung and have had my watch since the 6th so 5 days before release. All of the inaccuracies seen in this video I have also noticed. However I believe the physical hardware is probably not the issue. I was assured by multiple support associates that the watch was designed with the new updates in mind that are coming to android. I would hope that after an update or two these issues will be fixed. Please repost comparisons afterwards to see if there is actual improvement.

      @@RicstasTech I think it does an okay job for comparing one night to the next, generally. I have honestly stopped wearing the watch to bed. I slept fine with it, using the Samsung fabric band, but it just wasn't ideal.
      Ultimately, I don't think sleep tracking, even if accurate, really does much for me. I know when I SHOULD go to sleep and I know that magnesium supplement personally helps me sleep better. What more do I need to know? I'm more interested in BP monitoring...which isn't allowed unless you do something with the software. Supposedly it's real easy to do, but I haven't done it yet.

    Great analysis. Thank you! As many others here, I am also curious about Huawei Watch 4 PRO performance, since it has sensors from Watch GT 3 PRO which tops your HR accuracy chart along with Apple Watch. Huawei also claimed they improved sleep detection, which was not that good. Another "true smartwatch" alternative to Samsung Watch 5 PRO what would be great to see is Ticwatch PRO 5. It is missing eSIM version right now, but that may not be deal breaker for many.

    I don't want to be samsung biased but I have the watch as well as the huawei one and both the heart rate and the sleep tracking appear to be almost exactly the same when I tested the two during a workout sessions and in the morning for sleep. Maybe it depends on the person but for me I get very very similar results. For example the heart rate on the samsung now(when writing this comment) is 76, while the huawei is 77, the lowest and highest heartrates of the day are 44:140 and 44:139 and the sleep is 8h11m to 8h01. The max difference between steps at the end of the day is 200-250 with over 15,000 total steps. In conclusion during my testings the results are both mainly the same.

    Thanks for the in-depth analysis. 👍I've used the Smartwatch 6 to track overall sleep time, the last couple of nights and to me it seems pretty accurate. I also fell asleep during the day yesterday, and it picked that up. I'm not so concerned about REM or light sleep, at the moment. Glad to see HR at rest, is overall accurate enough and blood-oxygen as well. When I exercise, I cycle outdoors and will not be wearing my watch for that. Don't want a tan line 😃, and don't need it. For GPS I have a Garmin and the app on my phone. Again, thanks. Look forward to any other updates.

    I would like to see a number for the percentage of overall sleep stage agreement, not just a graph of the single (worst) and aveage percentage. Perhaps this could be added as a column in the agreement chart. Maybe, also, if your going to plot the worst, plot the best...
    Also, mixing measurements from different references on the same chart would me much more useful if that chart included measurements from (at least) 1 reference device for every watch. Yes, this would mean multiple measurements (for a single watch) on the graph, but at least the data would have more relevance.
    For me, the issue of accuracy isn't just relevant to the best available measurements but also relevant to other devices. When the graph plots points from different reference measuring devices, the relevance of the plot points can be lost (between some devices).
    That said, I really appreciate your approach and testing. I find it extremely valuable even as is.

    Heavier watches seem to have worse HR measurement, and I wonder if the regular GW6 would measure HR more reliably than the GW6 Classic. However, spotty HR measurement is easily remedied by the ability to connect with a separate HR monitor, like the chest strap. I wish the GW's could do that natively. The ability to access other monitoring devices is a huge benefit of Garmins, for example.

    Hey, Rob! It would be really interesting if you compared the sleep tracking of garmin watches to the firstbeat bodyguard 2 or 3. Garmins algorithm is actually made for firstbeats bodyguard, so if you compare them you can see if it's the algorithm itself that is bad, or if it's Garmins watches that just don't work well with it.

    Excellent video! Very valuable measurements and overview of results. Thanks for explaining so clearly. Would watch size be a significant variable to analyze? Not sure if the size would impact the contact of the sensor with the skin? Also, the band type/material may also impact the way the watch "slides" on the wrist.

    Nice vid as always. I got the Classic 4 for may mom 2m ago (needed some medical monitoring), I compared it to my Apple and I found it actually useless. When I saw the 6 and the "sponsored" propaganda, I thought it was going to be better.... Wish I had waited for your review before wasting more money in this brand. It's better than the E610 I got recently (for a fraction), that one I knew was going to be a wa$te, and this one is a bigger waste. Instead of these 2 I could have probably just waited one month and bought the next Apple Watch. Cheers and keep the good work- Vielen Dank.

I was counting on getting this watch, but after seeing your reviews, I shall wait yet another year. The most important features I look at are hr (daily use - not sports) general health tracking and sleep tracking.
    I've read a few stories about the Apple watch saving lives, not so sure this watch will provide the same service.

      The ECG works and is FDA certified. I've actually had really valuable use of it, so... it's a mixed bag and not a blanket statement. I'm living proof of it!
      HRM isn't that bad either for regular stuff, like walking and steady state use. Bioimpedance is OK and they are alone in the Android market for this afaik. The disappointment to me is that their sleep algorithms don't seem to be improving, and they must have a huge database of users, and that Apple has shown what is possible in terms of accuracy...

      Good.
      I've decided to skip the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic ... I do want to see improvements on the health tracking front.
      Improving sensors is not easy,
      and there are tons of patents around it
      and also around the algorithms that make sense of the signals those components deliver.
      It is really costly, takes a lot of investments and payment of fees and royalties to third parties.
      Samsung - from my perspective - stuck with what they already have and refrained from any investments re the health tracker functions.
      They just added some cosmetic bells & whistles around the Smart Watch functionalities but left the core health tracking functions untouched.
      That way Samsung ticked off some good old marketing check boxes at zero cost.
      If Samsung continues this path (for cost reasons) it will continue to deliver a nice Smart Watch combined with stale health functions.
      I am a Samsung fan but here I will part ways.

The only thing they agree about is the end time of the sleep.

    That's a great video. There's one thing though, that makes me wonder. Watch 4/5/6 normal/pro/classic all have the same(!) main sensors. So why do they differ so much. In at least one graph same goes to Apple Watch Ultra compared to other sensorwise similar Apple watches.
    I guess it's either statistics, differenzt wear positions at wrist or newer software. Would be interesting to verify that by choosing an older watch again if it reacts differently now I.e. similar to the latest model.

    I think that your tests are missing one very key test and that is a calorie count test. One that counts your whole day and one that counts only your workout. This is very important for me and for many people that workout and count calories.
    In my testing done loong ago, Gear S3 from samsung failed horribly. They were basically making those numbers up and did not use the heart rate data to compute the calorie count, even during workouts. However, second gen of apple watch were already amazing at this, calculating quite accurately the amount of calories burned.
