Got a GW4, as a watch it's great as for fitness I stick with my polar HR strap. Still baffled why Samsung won't allow pairing with an external HR monitor, would give the watch a real boost. Great vid as always Des!
This is the biggest thing for me. Samsung has trade-in deal right now. I would totally do it if I could also use my Polar H10. Since I can't... I'm waiting for a forerunner 265 deal to come around :(
For the serious fitness people, there are other devices which blow the Watch 6 classic out of the water. For the rest of us I find the health features can be an indication, not accurate. I’m looking for the best looking best feeling smart watch. I’m happy with the W6C. Battery life is good, better than the W4C and approaching the W5P which I happily traded in.
@@peepers4763 Thank you, the apple watch is 2x more expensive tho. I bought the Galaxy Watch 6 classic 47 mm with LTE etc for 250 euro... the apple watch 8 44 mm is 450 euro and above... so i think im going to look for the polar chest strap
It's a great smart watch and looks fantastic. I mostly wear my Fenix but it's fun to use every once in a while for it's much better smart watch features
Love the Watch 6 for my running, i can hear every time i run 1km, and can see my progress through the health app. Without paying Strava or Apple extras.
I wish they come get in the game . I would love a samsung watch but there are too many sacrifices you have to make to own one. Not being able to use external sensors like hr and stryd are deal killers for me . I need accurate data . And galaxy just doesnt have it
Not having everything available without a Samsung phone makes this a no go for me. I do like the look of it though. Not enough to leave my pixel phone though
Our eyes don't perceive brightness linearly, but logarithmically. This means that doubling the nits does not make the screen look double in brightness. Nits would have to approximately quadruple to make the screen seem double in brightness for our eyes.
Also keep in mind this is also dependent on the surrounding space in which your percieving said light. The eyes adjusts differently depending on the amount coming through, which a small watch display may not affect as much as going from a dark room to outside. An Amoled display makes the difference a lot clearer between a brighter or dimmer display, but indeed doesn't mean that a display rated at half the nits at max brightness appears darker than one with a higher amount outside. You can definitely tell though if your comparing side by side in a darker environment.
Have had both Garmin and now Samsung. Both my wife and I have found the Garmin more stable. The Samsung watch 5 series looks great, but definitely has its quirks. And don’t bother with the 40mm sizes. While there are some nice evolutionary steps with the 6, it’s certainly not near enough to make me jump from the 5.
It's really cool to work and travel with LTE but for fitness is so bad that i just had to trade it for garmin since it can't even pair a HRM properly without some google fit workaround that still miss samsung supposely metrics.... i wish they at least let you connect a HRM because i miss the LTE but well let's see if garmin do some magic with LTE same as they did with amoled and get some good battery if they introduce it in some of their watches :P
I ran my FR 255 with my GW6 side by side on a few outdoor paths and such and it was almost identical. I've not done any track runs, but I honestly hate running tracks.
If this watch could connect to an external HR sensor, it would be a definite Go... is Samsung planning to produce external HR sensors or are they so stubborn that they are saying that their HR accuracy is good enough and we do not need external HR?
@@TheSlickpt i think that was the case prior to galaxy assistant support, now whatsapp runs independently on Samsung Watch and soon Gmail will be supported, now with a faster processor and additional Senors like \BMI, blood pressure, and temperature i don't think apple watch is ahead anymore.
Nah, it makes it look like every other smart watch on the market, Apple Watch stands out. This is coming from a guy who has both. Also the boxy shape makes viewing things on the Apple Watch more comparable than on my GW6 Classic
@@joeyjoey7972it still is, there are a lot more apps for the Apple Watch and even the apps both watches share, Apple Watch apps look more completed. Also Apple Watch's fitness tracking is still far beyond the Galaxy Watch. Might have to see about Samsung looking into their sensors.
This has been going on since Galaxy Watch 3 and Samsung still hasn't sorted this problem out. I have the GW5Pro, but will look at getting a Garmin Instinct 2X real soon, as the heart rate tarcking on the watch 5 pro loses count very often when I'm training and overheats also when on lte and in a poor reception area.
That’s actually just a smudge from sweat. Almost all the “prettier” shots like the first opening shot were taken just a couple hours before publishing. The lens is still perfect.
Hey Des, nice Video as always. Quick question: Do you know when the Fenix 7 pro updates (endurance score, hill score,…) will come to the normal fenix 7 Series? (Europe)
I just replace my Samsung Watch for a Garmin one and I have no regret at all. Just for the gain of battery life, the change is worth it. Also, samsung really need to work on the Heart Monitor. My samsung watch was losing pretty often my heart rate during training....
The Samsung Galaxy Watch Classic is 325 euro right now and you get 70 euro cashback and a band for free. Which Garmin do you have and how much does it cost? If the Garmin is 2 or more times expensive I can understand its better then the galaxy watch...
Which garmin did you go with? I've had 3 samsung watches now, currently wearing the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic 46mm, but I am tired of the lame battery life. Plus I don't use any of the features really (really only use it to read notifications). I do a lot of offroad driving now (and off grid camping) and am thinking of trying the Garmin Fenix 7 solar/sapphire. I'm really curious to hear from those who've switched from samsung to garmin.
@@weatherornotsubaru I went with the venu 2 plus. It was on sale because the venu 3 just release. I have to recharge my battery only after 9-10 days. My notifications works very well. The heart monitor is more accurate. The only downside is that it is a little bit more prricy and it don't have a trade in.
I want one but I can't be without my Garmin accuracy and stat history. And Garmin golf is way too important to me to change as well. I have the Venu2 which is great but some of the pixels are starting to bleed. Very disappointing
Have you looked into the Garmin Forerunner 965? It's pretty much the 955 but with an Amoled display. I've had the 955 for almost a year and it's been great. I'm looking at getting the 965.
@mathis45461 the question if the watch can also connect with it. I would love to buy this watch, but since the pulse sensor is that bad, I would just buy it if it can connect to a chestwarp to get better results. The something with GPS, if the watch, can also use the GPS from the phone to get better information, better. For me the watch in this sense is simply to bad.
I had the watch 4 classic LTE version that I gave up on. The idea of having an LTE watch is so that I could stream music while running outdoors, without the phone. And also the possibility of taking a phone call while running without the phone. However in my experience, in a few seconds to a few minutes the watch is disconnected from the phone, and hops to LTE on the watch, the watch overheats and an error message is displayed stating that the watch is overheating, and will remain unusable until it cools down. 😮. So all tracking stops, music stops everything stops. Until 10 - 20 mins later when the watch cools down. Sent in the watch to Samsung nine times, and there was nothing they could do. I’m understanding from users that the overheating issue is not yet resolved for the watch 5 LTE version. So hopefully Samsung resolves the problem with their Watch 6.
I use either a Garmin HRM Pro/Pro Plus or a Polar H10 👍 but there's a lot of other straps by both companies which I can also recommend: Garmin HR Monitors Compared: ua-cam.com/video/fDNYAVIc2LY/v-deo.htmlsi=BPGFt3HHHg_TDVrN Polar HR Monitors Compared: ua-cam.com/video/CIl_mXGRzm4/v-deo.htmlsi=BJBwThKXvggZ4_CP
It has on-board GPS without the need for your phone for tracking outdoor activities. Only the connected features like texts and calls need your phone or cell connection if you have an LTE version.
I had the Galaxy Watch 4, 5 Pro and Now the Classic 6 47mm and well what was the point of upgrading? I wanted the rotating bezel and it only cost me $136 to upgrade with trade-in. Will I wear the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic 47mm? NO! Why? Because I bought my first Garmin Watch in June a Garmin Epix Pro (Gen 2) - Sapphire Edition | 51 mm Titanium and I just don't see the point of wearing the Samsung Galaxy Watches anymore. The Garmin features, fit, watchband, Customizations, Connect app and web dashboard when integrated with scale and blood pressure cuff on the Garmin really is way ahead of the Samsung Galaxy Eco-system and for the couple of smart features that you can't have on the Garmin it really doesn't matter. Everything about the Garmin outweighs the Samsung. Too bad the Galaxy is a heavy steel compared to the feather light Garmin Titanium. It's a win-win for Garmin! I am not looking back! Bye for now Samsung.
My GF has a galaxy watch 4. It used to sync with strava through the strava app on the watch but for some reason stopped and wont sync anymore. Also it seems that if you do a workout using the built in workout app it wont sync with strava either. Typical Samsung crap software. Have they fixed it on these newer devices?
I decided not to buy Samsung watches anymore after they denied repairing my Watch 5 pro and sent it back broken. This is twice in a row now that my samsung watch (both 4 classic and 5 pro) died within a year. They fixed my 4 classic no problem but they denied my 5 all up and down.
Just got mine and I'm probably returning it. It's brand new and SOOOOO slow. Probably slow AF because it's bogged down with data gathering bloatwear so they can track my every movement.
Seems to me that the 6 classic is clearly the 4 classics successor and not the 5 pro's. it's almost identical to the 4 complete with the same looks and woeful battery. Here's hoping the 7 will be the 5 pro's successor equipped with a rotating bezel. But i'm not holding my breath. Also, fast charging isn't new, the 5 range has the exact same charging, the 5 pro took 1.5 hours to fully charge due to the almost double sized battery which gives 4+ days with AOD off.
As a user of GW4C I can't see the WOW difference between them. I woud upgrade if the Samsung did a major change on the sensor/battery like Appel did with the ultra version, but spend that kind of money in something that is more of the same for me it doesn't make sense.
The sensors of every kind are too inaccurate for the watch to be taken seriously. Especially that BMI readinfg,but I couldn't believe even the GPS is crap. It's the sixth generation, you would Samsung would have more pride with its work😅
Does this watch sensor track better than other watches for hairy dark skinned people. Watch sensors notoriously have a better time tracking hairless lighter skin tones and harder time tracking hairy darker skins.
wdym 2 weeks., noone provides this long battery life and even if they did the features, functions and display will be tremendously worse than the samsung.

Lots of people including me love scrolling thru using the physical bezel. Faster, more intuitive, and keeps a tiny screen free so you can actually see it without fingers in the way. If Samsung didn’t have a patent on it, Garmin and Coros would do it
@@ronyntyde so whn u are bored u rotate the bezzel ahahha i mean ok it has its purpose but its nothing life changing, gw5 is ok without it and i dont miss it
battery life is a joke... I can't understand what Apple and Samsung's problem is putting a battery in their devices that can last at least a week or so...
It's not necessarily the battery, it's more the operating system. Think of Apple and Samsung watches as smartphones on your wrist with fitness functions whereas other watches like Garmin and COROS as sportswatches with smartwatch functions. Apple and Samsung watches just do a lot more in the background (not saying that's necessarily a good thing though).
Just got the classic yesterday and I am so impressed with this watch! My first Samsung and I am very happy with it!
I turn off animations, aod and most vibrations and easily get 3 days. It is accurate enough for my use and integrates well wity my Z Flip 5.

@@DesFit Nice!! I'm using the Garmin Epix Pro 51MM, but curious about trying this for the smart features... Good to know!
Instead of blaming the watch for bad GPS accuracy, maybe try running like a sober person. 😂😂😂
The path in which I ran is irrelevant to GPS track accuracy
@@DesFit I know. Just throwing a joke out there.
Haha sorry, didn’t come through! 😄
I clicked on your video to hear opinions on the tech not tohear about your "beef" with another UA-camr. Stick to the plot and purpose of your videos going forward.
Sorry but I’m not sure what you’re talking about. The only other UA-camr I mentioned is a friend and actually recommended checking out his video.
@@DesFit This would be a comment from someone who didn't listen/watch/read anything in your video lol
Bezel is most useless thing dunno why people are going insane over it i have watch 5 pro and it is great, better than watch 6
Lots of people including me love scrolling thru using the physical bezel. Faster, more intuitive, and keeps a tiny screen free so you can actually see it without fingers in the way. If Samsung didn’t have a patent on it, Garmin and Coros would do it
@@nnjjee1 yea u are right about fingers on screen, tho i dont click much. Music is on shuffle i swipe to start exercise andfew more swipes there
@@MrPetrolucioits stupid satisifuing to rotate compated to the gw4
@@ronyntyde so whn u are bored u rotate the bezzel ahahha i mean ok it has its purpose but its nothing life changing, gw5 is ok without it and i dont miss it
@@MrPetrolucio adhd kinda thing, im 21 and i sat in at&t for over 5 minutes just rotating it
Geez Dude - you are difficult to understand. You go through periods where it sounds like you leave out every other letter or word...
battery life is a joke... I can't understand what Apple and Samsung's problem is putting a battery in their devices that can last at least a week or so...
It's not necessarily the battery, it's more the operating system. Think of Apple and Samsung watches as smartphones on your wrist with fitness functions whereas other watches like Garmin and COROS as sportswatches with smartwatch functions. Apple and Samsung watches just do a lot more in the background (not saying that's necessarily a good thing though).
@@DesFit where does the huawei gt3 pro watch fit?
