7:44 Thats exactly how a body composition measure is supposed to work. Your body composition changes over the course of the day slightly, when you eat, when you poop, etc. I'd take it with more of a grain of salt if it gave me a consistent reading 100% of the time all day. The feature was tested against a dexa scan and was found to be within 2% accuracy. It costs as much to get one of those scans as a Galaxy Watch 6 in some cases. Im really surprised more manufacturers haven't added such a killer feature to their wearables since it debuted on the Watch 4 line 2 years ago. It takes fitness tracking to another level. Great video!
As a sports scientist and from my own personal testing, I find it to have a reliable reading but far from accurate. It consistently spits out my reading at about 20-22% body fat which I say is reliable as I'm never gaining or losing muscle/fat mass but about 10% out which is a huge difference! I have used it in conjunction with the equipment available to me (skin calipers, body comp machines etc.) and those will come out at 10-12% at all times which have been approved by health officials. In my opinion, that concludes it is incredibly inaccurate and can be the difference between a slightly high body fat and telling someone they're morbidly obese
From everything I've read dexa is also pretty awful at measuring bodyfat in fact the only reliable way to measure body fat is by taking a part a dead body and measuring limb by limb any other way is really just a huge guesstimation based on unrealiable proxies.
Hi Mike, there is also a little icon at the bottom of the screen on the watch when you are downloading - like over wifi :D so you can click on it and see how far your download has gone.
I knew some of these and use them regularly, but not all so this video was super helpful. I have a Watch 4 Classic which now will be even better than before thanks to all these hidden features.
They need to fix Samsung wallet. Having to unlock your watch just to look at it is ridiculous. You should only have to unlock the app when you want to pay
The implementation of Samsung Pay is the most frustrating thing Samsung has done ever...and I owned an exploding Note7, which was far more acceptable than their terrible Samsung Pay forced requirements.
Would of been helpful if you could completely explain how to set up google assistant on the watch. It does not show the option for that in advanced features..
I have the 47 classic LTE & I'm really liking it so far. A big upgrade from my Gear S3. Is there a video out there that shows the full process of swapping out Bixby for Google assist?
Open the app drawer on your Watch Open the Settings app Scroll down to find and tap the Advanced Features option Select Customize Buttons Here, select your preferred assistant under Press and hold
very nice. However, the update that i have on my watch 6 organize the screens completely differently from what you show, end it's very hard (but not impossible) to find the appropriate topics. it would be nice that you provide an alternative video with the actual organization, and show all the icons that you pressed to get to a place. thanks for the sharing.
Thanks for making such videos on galaxy watch. Good detailed video. Plz make some more videos on galaxy watches. I am using galaxy watch 4. Love from 🇮🇳
Hi Mike is there a chance that you could make a video on features that you won't be able to use on the Galaxy watch 5 or 6 if you don't have a Samsung phone, because I have a Google Pixel 7 Pro and i don't want to get the watch for a feature i like and then not be able to use it.
Yes there is but I like the bigger screen and the design of the Samsung Galaxy watch so I would just like to see what features I wouldn't have if I got the watch@@foreshadow9022
I'm sure this is a software issue and not a hardware issue but on my 6 Classic NFC payments are pretty much locked to Samsung Pay. It's not possible to hold the back button and set it to Google Pay instead of Samsung Pay. It's the same for the Fold5 and swiping up on the lock screen can only pull up Samsung Pay and you can't set it to Google Pay. I used to love Samsung's willingness to work with other companies and I'm not sure why they are now a fairly exclusive ecosystem. I don't regret buying the 6 Classic and the Fodl5 but I can't say Samsung is much different than Apple at this point, just a name and logo difference.
Samsung Pay on watch hasn't been able to connect my cards, it's very frustrating. The fact that we are not able to customize that back button to launch GPay also pissed me off, I had to change double press button to use GPay instead....
@riverjustice for sure. Samsung pay(galaxy phones) was the first to do this by just placing near the magentic strip swipe line on any old card reader with no need for the little wireless connection thing that was added to pay terminals to help apple use the feature. I used to freak out cashiers when they say we don't accept apple pay, and I'd hold my phone near the swipe area and boom! Cashier: 😯 what phone is that? Me: it's galaxy and Samsung pay 🚬😎
Good job. Question? On my old watch 4 & 5 I could cover the screen to turn off display or alarm, looks like I can't do that on 6. Do you know anything about this. Thanks
Love your reviews. Do you know how to text from the watch using a messaging app like TEXTRA or anything but messages/messages+? I could do it on my 5PRO but not on my new 67 classic.??
I was on the fence until I watched this video. My wife has fallen a couple of times in the last few years, and the fall detection and alerts were the deciding factor. Thanks.
Hi @Mike, thanks for your videos. Is it the 47' or the 43' watch 6 classic that you are wearing? I am not sure what size to get. I am scared the 47' appears too massive on my wrist. Any tips?
hi everyone. The quick launch motion and bixby voice don't seem to be working when the screen is off (even when the always on feature is selected) . i want it to work on the voice, because i constantly forget to launch the activity when i am riding my bike. I know that there is an autodetect feature, but it's not as good. alson for the same reason, i would like to put the activity on pause with bixby voice. does anyone know how to set up all this? thanks
Hey Mike, do you know if Truecaller works on Galaxy watch(Wear OS) or not. I am using Galaxy Watch 4 but I don't get an Id or name when I get a call from an unknown number on my watch even though I have Truecaller on my phone.
I have the gestures enabled for the answer/decline call enabled ever since I got my Watch4 but I keep forgetting they exist so I always just swipe to accept lol
Hi Mike!! Do you know how to set up personalized heart rate zones on the Watch 6? Maybe that feature is on the Classic bc I've looked everywhere on my 6 and it's not there 😢
You're just ignorant. Bixby is a very powerful essential assistant than Google assistant esp for Samsung users because of the routines. Do your research.
I like that it's circular like an actual watch but the watch faces that are available are horrible. Tried to make my own but just couldnt get it to transfer to the watch. Think I'll be selling my Galaxy Watch 5 and get the FitBit Sense 2.
Thank you for mentioning the period. For some reason men are just ashamed to even say a word period. So thank you for mentioning, being opened minded, and normalizing 😊
I found some flaws at my 6 classic.. when i switch on the "remove animation".. whenever i rotate the bazzel for scrolling, it doesn't work properly and smoothly.. sometime it hang and stuck at same page even i already rotate 1 2 round
True story: I somehow got locked outside my home as my roommate had just left for work. My keys, phone, even shoes were inside and it was late at night. That's when I realized that my watch acted as a phone. So I was able to call my roommate to turn around and let me in. The watch saved my ass.
Thanks for the tips! Much appreciated as a new Galaxy Watch user here. I'm blown away so many features.
I have to admit ....this is the best review by far covering this watch....much appreciated...i learned something

Very relevant. Didn't realise that this little toy has so many other functionalities
Yes, 400 dollar _toy_
@heavyiphone what would you call it?
@@heavyiphone what country are you from😂? Its not really that expensive.
@JohnWicked666 Especially with trade in and pre orders. It was like 220 for me lol
@SwordTomato it's called a Smartwatch.
It is also possible to play many games on it, but that not really what it's for.

Bro the battery sucks though huh
Hey Mike, how did u get a app list in your appscreen at 04:11? I'm a little confused..
The sleep coach is not exclusive to the galaxy watch 6 btw
just so much information to remember
How many of these features have been added to the Watch4? Specifically hoping for Google Assistant button remap and phone transfer w/o reset.
very nice. However, the update that i have on my watch 6 organize the screens completely differently from what you show, end it's very hard (but not impossible) to find the appropriate topics. it would be nice that you provide an alternative video with the actual organization, and show all the icons that you pressed to get to a place.
thanks for the sharing.
I'm glad you are feeling better. I knew something was wrong because this isn't like you. So glad it wasn't something more. Welcome back 😊
Hey mike my GW6 only has two modes: sleep and theater
How do you access all those other modes?
03:10 How do I get the Camera shortcut down there? I'm using the same watch face and a S23 Ultra. Is it exclusively for the flip phones?
Thanks for making such videos on galaxy watch. Good detailed video. Plz make some more videos on galaxy watches. I am using galaxy watch 4. Love from 🇮🇳
By chance is there a way to remove the little workout/media control icons that show up at the bottom of the screen when theyre in use?
Super helpful video! some of what I was looking for, I only found in your video! GPS, countdown/manual start,...etc. Thanks!
Do you prefer the classic in Black or the Silver?
I prefer Silver and that's the one I have
Honestly, I like the silver better. It looks more classic and premium in my opinion
Reviewed without the product in hand. Wow

Something is wrong then.
I can start the pay app screen and swipe to any of the 4 cards I have stored on z fold3 and watch 4 classic.
If you can use Google Pay, most likely they accept Samsung Pay.

Good job. A boat load of info crammed into 12 minutes. Thanks for helping get the most out of this great watch.
Great video I just got my watch 6 non classic and its AMAZING for my work at walmart. :)
Good job.
Question? On my old watch 4 & 5 I could cover the screen to turn off display or alarm, looks like I can't do that on 6.
Do you know anything about this.
Thanks
The 4 also has sleep coaching. I'd assume 5 has it as well. Same with snore detection. The only new one I saw was the skin temp.
watch 5 pro does do sleep coaching as well as skin temp and O2 levels
@@tomwilson6476 I don't get every new iteration, but that doesn't surprise me. I had the 4, then went to the 6 Classic.

Thanks for the tips, the best video I've seen on the watch 6, I got the classicc 47mm, as its my first smart watch, this video is very useful.
Thanks for the tips. Great work on the vid. Liked and subscribed 👍
Can you message and / or call your own phone through the watch?
Example: if my kid has the watch and I have the phone that it's paired with?
Just subscribed to your channel, thanks for the video man!
Hi Mike about the galaxy watch 6 go into Accessibility then visibility enhancements turn off remote animations the bezel Will be okay. love the watch
Love you my guy 👊
Hi @Mike, thanks for your videos. Is it the 47' or the 43' watch 6 classic that you are wearing? I am not sure what size to get. I am scared the 47' appears too massive on my wrist. Any tips?
Go to the store and try them out. Only you can know which one you like
I love the 47. But I'm a pretty big dude.
@@kingjonathan7773 fotboi
@williamg7138 if only. The stores I've visited never have the 47mm available try on.
Ik heb een polsomtrek van 17,5 cm en dan past de 47 mm nog steeds goed succes met kiezen
Amazing!
How comfortable is the strap?
Love the classic design. Is there genuinely enough of an improvement on the Watch Ultra to warrant buying that instead of buying the Warch 6 Classic?
6:13 No, it's not. It's been on the Watch4 line since the S22 series was released.
Thanks!! great content!
Marvelous video
Huge help!
Hi just wanna ask whats the watch face used?
Thanks
Great job. Well done. ❤ thank you.
I no this is an old video I am thinking of buying the Galaxy watch 7, and I want to know if it can track my Samsung air tags. Cheers
Very, very informative, thank you so much 😊.
I have to note if you have an S7 or Note 7 or earlier, or an A, M or F series phone, camera controller will not work.
Easier to say you need S8 or above.
