Late response - but I went back and fourth on buying this watch. I'm a natty bodybuilder, road cyclist and I'm a Torontonian as well. Essentially needed something for work, and to check my steps so I don't need to constantly grab my phone as I feel like it's taking over my life. It's because of this review I decided to buy it. Thanks man, it has improved my daily tasks/activities tremendously.
I’ve had several Garmin watches and the Samsung watch 3. I’ve just bought the Samsung watch 6. Yours is a truly amazing video. I’ve learned so much. Thank you. I would encourage anyone to watch your channel. Now that I have discovered your channel, I’m looking for the next production from you.
Great video, i was vascillating between a 5 pro, 6 classic and the 6 44mm, however after this video i went into the store and compared sizes, and realised that the 40 mm, was a good choice..I have ordered my 40 mm, thank you for the informative video.
@JSyntax there's the tap, double tap, triple tap, and ball your hand in a fist gesture under accessibility. That allows you to navigate around the watch, select items, go back a page, etc.
I tried it but I found it too clunky. I just wish we had apples new double tap on the hand gesture that they recently introduced. I find the wrist gesture to invoke my Google Assistant to not be very dependable or very clunky as well
Thanks for such a thorough unbiased review. This is extremely useful information. Also love that you use the regular S23 like I do. We are in the minority but just love the size its not so heavy and clunky.
I used sleep mode for about a week, wondering how accurate it was, it seemed OK and then I had the worst sleep of my life, awake virtually all night, and Watch 6 gave me a 90% rating. I don't bother with it anymore, massive breach of trust.
Same deal only from a Dutch phone provider (technically from samsung themselves, since you need to apply for the watch on their site. With the s22 ultra I got samsung buds, which I love and use quite often, the process was the same though and it took a month or two for them to finally deliver the product. You need to apply with your products codes and take pictures etc. Wait a few weeks for them to check the validity of your application. Then wait another 6 to 7 weeks to get your product. In the Netherlands with certain providers you get a watch and 120 cashback for 512 and 250 cashback for 1tb. I got 512 because the wording on the site made it seem like you didn't get the watch with the base ultra, which I found out later isn't true. You just don't get the cashback. But since the cashback is roughly equivalent to what you pay extra for the storage. I kinda am switching between regret that I got 512, when I will probably not use that much storage anyway. And regret that I didn't get the 1tb since it's technically a free upgrade and sh.. why not go 4k60fps for all my videos from now on lol
Love my watch 6 pro. Like you I have sleep apnea and I credit my watch trigger me to schedule a sleep study. I started to see my oxygen level drop into the 80's and some nights even into the high 70's and the snoring app was capturing heavy snoring. Since starting CPAP therapy my SoP rarely drops below 91.
@@bahez511 When I wake up in the morning I put my watch on the charger while getting ready for work. Doing this each morning I get through the day and through to the next morning with normally about 50% charge.
Very good, well thought out, detailed, useful info review. I thought the camera function was gimmicky but this is the first explanation I’ve seen for using it to frame shots for youtube videos. Seems like a great idea. I think maybe the larger classic model would be even more useful in that use-case. BTW, I have the s23 plus. Possibly smaller minority than s23 owners.
I bought the garmin fitbit 3 a few years ago, and it was a great little watch. Unfortunately, it broke last week, so I did some research into what to get. I was amazed by the watch 6, its features and apps! It was more than what I intended to pay, but I know I will have this watch for years, and was only a bit more than my budget, but worth the extra. My garmin was good, but compared to that, the Samsung 6 is night and day. I also bought the 40mm, and glad I did as I only have skinny wrists and anything bigger would have been too clunky for me. The battery life isn't great compared to the garmin, as that would last three or four days, but I am just treating this watch like my phone and charging it daily. I don't like those silicone straps either. The one advantage with the garmin was that the straps are super-easy to change, but this is not always the case with Samsung straps. Some of them have a simple button which makes it easy, but most have an annoying pin that is such a fiddle and takes ages. Not something I want when I like to change my strap regularly for different looks. BTW, I use Google pay, and changed the top right button, so I can press the button twice to pay.
I am returning my Watch 6 classic today to buy watch 6, 40 mm. Watch 6 classic is too heavy and bulky on my wrist and I find it hard to wear it in day to day use. So going for watch 6 smallest size.
As I mentioned in the video I do think it takes at least one week to get used to a new watch and new band regardless of the size. Please keep that in mind
Hey J, nice review! For weight lifting, the watch allows you to leave your phone behind, listen to music (over bluetooth) and keep track of what set you're on (using a counter app), and even time your rest periods. I'm surprised that you didn't find it useful in the gym.
Thanks for pointing out the watch connection to the Samsung phone camera. All the advertising material talks about it being synced with the Samsung Flip phone, so it's good to know it connects to any samsung phone.
Thank you for the comprehensive review. I got this Watch 6 as a surprise grit from Samsung when I ordered my S23 Ultra. It came separately without a notice or an invoice ($0.00 email invoice). This review was very useful.
I have an Active2, and on black friday Samsung offered me $125 trade in value toward a Watch 6. I'm sure this is the right move, but the Active2 has been consistant and reliable and I've been very happy with it. My new watch comes tomorrow. I hope i love it as much, or more, than the 2.
@clairehann2681 I'm really happy with the new watch. There are features that are easier to use and more personalized settings. The screen is very responsive 99.9% of the time. The messaging screen seems bigger and easier to use. I'm also really enjoying the speech to text better, when typing on the watch face is too much. I like being able to set 4 shortcuts on the watch face in the four corners. I made a good choice! Thank you for asking!
How's it after a month? I've never used a smart watch but considering getting the Watch 6 Classic since there are some good deals available right now. Still contemplating whether I should or not.
This was a great review and very informative. I just recently got a Galaxy Watch6 and this broadens my perspective on what I can use it for. Thanks for sharing!
Great review. I'm about to get a S24 in a few days and it comes with a complementary Watch 6. I don't think it's enough to make me part from my GW3 that I've had for so long. Your review was honest, informative and easy to understand... Thank you, I will be subscribing and sticking around! 😁
Wow! Such a complete review! Thanks for sharing with us your experience with the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6. Personally, I have a better idea of which model should I get.
@@JSyntax I'm going for the Watch 6 Classic in black 🙃. Just hoping the one I got comes without a defective strap. In other videos they also mentioned about that watch almost falling down from the wrist. So I guess this is a common issue.
On my fold 4 and 5 i use the adaptive brightness but you can set the slider to the brightness you want it to max out at with adaptive brightness switched on! I do this at night when in bed! I only found out this was a thing when actually turned my brightness down on my phone with the adaptive brightness on and it never got any brighter than what i had set it at and i have tried it on my 2022 edition tablet and works on that so give it try on your watch it might work
18:44 what, you could pay a thousand euro with your credit card without any kind of confirmation?! And when you pay with your phone it asks you to authenticate either with fingerprint, Face ID or password. I know that some online merchants could just charge your credit card without 3D secure or similar, though such a transactions considered insecure and will be merchant's fault if it accept stolen card. So almost every merchant use 2FA
@JSyntax I recommend the Samsung Fit2 or Fit3 as a lightweight activity tracker for when you're skateboarding or doing sports. It's lightweight, extremely cheep, syncs perfectly with Samsung Health, and the battery lasts for a week (with constant day and night health tracking). I think it might be what you're looking for to compliment your Watch6. I've been using the Fit2 as my daily watch/fitness tracker since 2021 when I bought it new for £40 and I've been very happy with it. I'm now considering buying a refurbished Watch6, but not sure its worth it for the added functionality of NFC and GPS (not present on the Fit series). One of the main things holding me back is inconvenience of charging the Watch6 every day. I might just stick with my Fit2, or maybe upgrade to the Fit3.
I thought about that idea of having two watches one for sports and one for regular day-to-day wear in fact I was going to keep my Galaxy watch 6 and buy the Galaxy watch 7 and have both but I ended up trading in my Galaxy watch 6 for the 7 I guess at the end of the day I don't really care too much to know my full health metrics because I don't trust the underlying Foundation perhaps Fitbit on Google is better but I'm hoping for a day where there's more improve interoperability between all these devices algorithms improve so that I can get better accurate results that's not to say I don't appreciate the health tracking metrics on my current watch 7 which is very helpful for my sleep measurements
I have the watch 4 that I wear faily frequently (but I do have about 15 watches). I think its an alright product but this barely looks any different. The screen is kind of nicer (kind of) but it barely does anything different that I remotely care about. I bought it becasuse it was cheap but from what I see this costs way more than what I paid when this was new. I would just pay twice that price and get a fenix or something. Its nice to have a watch for running but I barely wear it for anything else.
It would have nice to see some information about what happens when you go out for a walk without the phone etc. But overall I really like your the details. I bought the same wrist you linked. Thank you!
Thank you for this awesome review❤ It was really detailed with every information you need. I found this channel just a few weeks ago but i love it😅Keep going with your cool reviews! Also greetings from Germany thats why my english isn't that good😊
Thanku so much for this review. And showing the 40mm on your wrist and explaining why you prefer it. And all the aspects of the watch. Don’t stop your videos!
Hello from Portugal 🇵🇹✌Great video, by the way, thank you 😁 I'm thinking about buying one just like yours, but I'm a bit afraid because, as you and other UA-camrs said it, it is not very precise in same health features, but I will probably get one anyways, because it has so many amazing others and I think I would really love having one. What I wanted to ask you is if the fact that is the smaller one difficults sending messages or searching on Play Store, for example. I mean "writing" on a smartwatch it's not natural, but it's amazing, and I'm afraid of that, because I have a really small wrist and I think if I choose the bigger one, it will look weird, but on the other hand, if I choose the smaller one, it could difficult that action. I hope you can understand my question, sorry if I made some mistakes. Once again, thank you, have a nice day and keep on doing your job. You just got one more subscriber from Portugal 😁
The link to buy the small watch stand you describe at minute 8:03 is not in the description as you state. Please let me know where to find the stand. Thanks. Great video..
No 7 is not worth it, just get a clean secon hand watch 6. I got one off of Facebook market with the charger and warranty and box , basically new, only been used for a week for $140 Canadian dollar and i love it
Great Review. Weird I get a very mild sleep apnea too and I’m slim and healthy also. I wonder why it happens. I don’t need to wear that mask. But it would Probably help me if I did lol. Will you review the Samsung watch 7? Do you know when it’s coming out? I heard the Samsung S24 Ultra is coming out around Jan 17th. I wonder if the watch comes out on the same announcement. 😮
Hi I have watched your video GREAT. You do mention your phone is away from you when U work out. l find my watch alarms me that it is not connected Even if I just go out to the garden .there for how can the info be transfered to your watch when you get home.
Hello: Thank you for this video 👍 ONE QUESTION: If I own an Android phone (Motorola , new) , will I be limited in the use of apps & capabilities on my Galaxy watch 6?
You cant use BP and ECG with non samsung phones. But there is a thread on xda forum. You can activate all capabilites even on non samsung phones. Just follow a few steps on the phone and watch.
I would love to have the same health data capabilities as I had with my fitbit. I liked seeing my previous week's or months data on calories in vs. Calories out. If you build a smart interface that will do it similar to my pervious fitbit, please let me know. Thanks!
Do you have an opinion about durability? I have a versa 2 right now and it is VERY durable and would like a smartwatch that has that level of durability and size.
That's the thing I always wanted to see how much it would try to start working as u know maybe it would of us and ya maybe I could try to do it another time or day
@@JSyntaxI actually found a 15watt charger that only has a USB a port and luckily I have a USB c to USB a dongle. Just hope the dongle supports at least 15watts. Thank you for mentioning the link though!
I don't understand why they got rid of the metal bezel? now the screen is under attack, not protected. I would switch to 6, but looking at this, I'd rather stay on my 3
I've been down the rabbit hole. I'm trying to decide which Galaxy or any smartwatch to maybe buy. For similar reasons to you. Just watched maaany videos but you are addressing a few things they didn't. And going into more detail. Especially things like the charge stand. So thank you mate!! 😃👌
I got a question, if you look in the back of your Galaxy 5 Pro or 6 watch does a small hole now every time I go to put my watch in the morning I feel a little prick and when I check to see what it is I didn't notice anything at first but then upon closer looking there's like a little hole just close to the longer strap on the back no I compared it to where I felt the prick and it came from the same position that little hole is in I want to know out of every Watch review I seen they never talk about this little hole or what it is😮😮😅 so I'm asking what is
The tiny pinhole size hole in the backside of Samsungs watches is a barometer sensor it is used for altitude so the watch knows where it is , it senses air pressure changes.
I still have S3 Frontier, it is going to be 8 years and a battery life is still up to 3 days. It makes everything needed... from my bus nfc card to altimerer when hiking, regular swiming in a pool or sea, listening music...phone calls... yes 8 years.
JSyntax New to your channel.What a Wonderful in-depth review of not only Samsung but Garmin as well.Glad i caught this.Definitely great video to recommend for anyone dealing with sleep issues.Wish you the best.Have a Safe July 4th.💯✌️
I have the older watch 5, the difference seems to be minimal between the two, if youre getting either for the sleep tracker, get an apple watch instead. If you dont have a samsung phone, you will have constant disconnection issues all the time, with a samsung phone there are 0 issues. AMA if you want unbiased answer.
When will the watch get access to it's own routines??? I know about their phones and how the watch can control phone but I want the watch to have it's own routines. The programmable home button is not as reliable as i need it to be. My intention is for my voice recorder to start recording on watch as soon as I deactivate my morning alarm. Any help would be appreciated.
I have not, in 8 years of wearing fitness trackers, found a single silicone band that I can comfortably wear. Since I have very sensitive skin, it seemed like every single one I tried, original vs. generic, caused a red, painful rash unless I wore it incredibly loose. Wearing it that loose rendered the sensors all but completely useless. My last tracker just died so I'm shopping for a new one. Trying to decide between the Galaxy and the new Sense 2. I was leaning towards the Sense 2 due to more experience with Fitbit previously.. But I use a Samsung S21 ultra phone and the heart, O2, and blood pressure features would be very useful for my personal health issues...also have sleep apnea!
Thanks for the review mate. I'm getting one of these for free with my s24 ultra, it'll probably take another month or two for samsung to deliver them (was my experience with the free buds I got with the s22 ultra). I never wanted a smart watch. But as someone with extreme and chronic insomnia I hope this watch can help shed some light on my sleeping behavior and my usage will probably be a lot like yours. As someone that hasn't even ever considered a smart watch, now I'm getting one for free I'm wondering why I didn't buy one earlier to track sleep and also use my phone less. (which is somehting I've been working hard at). Was almost tempted to buy the classic wifi and sell the 40 regular LTE one, mainly for the bezel but also because it's slightly bigger. But after watching this review I'm excited for the regular one. Maybe I'll buy a rotating bezel when they release the watch 7 or 8 (if I end up using the watch 6) ps. I'm also kinda excited to try all the watch faces etc Kinda hope I can find a cool pipboy one lol.
In my Watch6, I never have to give PIN to use Samsung pay - just long press back button and tap - in and out of checkout queue in 2 secs flat. So not sure why u are forced to enter PIN. I tried Google pay too but many payment terminals give error for Google pay for some reason but Samsung Pay works flawlessly every time
i like the detail you put on this review rather than just repeating the manufacturer booklet
Lovd the video! I just bought the watch 6 as my first smartwatch to track runs and track my steps. It has now become an important part of my set up.

How is the battery life for daily usags after nearly 12 months?, is it true they say galaxy smart watchs lasts after 2 - 3 years?
NFC pincode step is in effort to eliminate hackers using NFC in your proximity, stealing your card info or charging your watch as you walk by them

I bought it becasuse it was cheap but from what I see this costs way more than what I paid when this was new. I would just pay twice that price and get a fenix or something. Its nice to have a watch for running but I barely wear it for anything else.
I pre ordered the 44mm with the black fabric band and I love it
Me to 44mm is best! But silver colour is nicer ?
@@retirementkhabibnurmagomed7280 I agree
It would have nice to see some information about what happens when you go out for a walk without the phone etc. But overall I really like your the details. I bought the same wrist you linked. Thank you!
Next time!
Thank you for this awesome review❤ It was really detailed with every information you need. I found this channel just a few weeks ago but i love it😅Keep going with your cool reviews! Also greetings from Germany thats why my english isn't that good😊
Hello,
Thank you very much for this video!
I subscribed and liked.
Thanks for the sub!
Thanku so much for this review. And showing the 40mm on your wrist and explaining why you prefer it. And all the aspects of the watch. Don’t stop your videos!
The 44mm has way bigger battery and better screen size
Hello from Portugal 🇵🇹✌Great video, by the way, thank you 😁 I'm thinking about buying one just like yours, but I'm a bit afraid because, as you and other UA-camrs said it, it is not very precise in same health features, but I will probably get one anyways, because it has so many amazing others and I think I would really love having one. What I wanted to ask you is if the fact that is the smaller one difficults sending messages or searching on Play Store, for example. I mean "writing" on a smartwatch it's not natural, but it's amazing, and I'm afraid of that, because I have a really small wrist and I think if I choose the bigger one, it will look weird, but on the other hand, if I choose the smaller one, it could difficult that action. I hope you can understand my question, sorry if I made some mistakes. Once again, thank you, have a nice day and keep on doing your job. You just got one more subscriber from Portugal 😁
I have the 43mm classic version in silver, and it looks baller as fuck with a stainless steel band and a GoldenEye 64 inspired watch face.
Excellent review! I enjoyed it!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks!
Thank you!
The link to buy the small watch stand you describe at minute 8:03 is not in the description as you state. Please let me know where to find the stand. Thanks. Great video..
Thanks for reminding me I'll update the link
great video. Thank you for the time you took to put it out 🙌
Your video helped me to make a decision. Thank you!
Can you please share what your decision was
Lol
galaxy watch 6 or 7?? which one I should to buy? The batterys are same, so Is double the price worth it?
No 7 is not worth it, just get a clean secon hand watch 6. I got one off of Facebook market with the charger and warranty and box , basically new, only been used for a week for $140 Canadian dollar and i love it
Great video man!! Keep them coming.
Than you!
I enjoy watching your videos. Your voice is soothing and you seem very natural when you talk about tech. ❤
Wow thank you!
Hi there I really need to know can the watch classic 6 broadcast its heart rate to another machine like a exercise bike etc?
Can you tell where u buy the band? Especially the fabric one. Tq
Perfect review man you covered everything i needed to know about the 40 mm one 😁
Thank you
Great Review.
Weird I get a very mild sleep apnea too and I’m slim and healthy also. I wonder why it happens. I don’t need to wear that mask. But it would Probably help me if I did lol.
Will you review the Samsung watch 7? Do you know when it’s coming out?
I heard the Samsung S24 Ultra is coming out around Jan 17th. I wonder if the watch comes out on the same announcement. 😮
Yes watch 7 looks promising, expect late summer 2024
Loved the video! Very good in depth review! ❤
Hi I have watched your video GREAT. You do mention your phone is away from you when U work out. l find my watch alarms me that it is not connected Even if I just go out to the garden .there for how can the info be transfered to your watch when you get home.
Hello: Thank you for this video 👍
ONE QUESTION:
If I own an Android phone (Motorola , new) , will I be limited in the use of apps & capabilities on my Galaxy watch 6?
I can't say with certainty that
You cant use BP and ECG with non samsung phones. But there is a thread on xda forum. You can activate all capabilites even on non samsung phones. Just follow a few steps on the phone and watch.
I would love to have the same health data capabilities as I had with my fitbit. I liked seeing my previous week's or months data on calories in vs. Calories out. If you build a smart interface that will do it similar to my pervious fitbit, please let me know. Thanks!
Such a great video, many thanks!
great review !!!! so good
Very good review, Thank you for taking the time to review!
Great review. I didn't see the link for the brick
Do you have an opinion about durability? I have a versa 2 right now and it is VERY durable and would like a smartwatch that has that level of durability and size.
How do you set up the wireless charging between the watch 6 ⌚ and the Samsung galaxy phones
Question - can MS Teams be added to the watch?
Thank you, you helped me a lot to make a choice and I am going for galaxy 6 as my first smartwatch.
Good choice!
That's the thing I always wanted to see how much it would try to start working as u know maybe it would of us and ya maybe I could try to do it another time or day
I cannot get the Blood Pressure App on my watch I have a Galaxy Pro 5 any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks for the video, man! Very informative! I have just one question: do you use some scream or case protector on your watch?
None
When it comes to battery life would a solar powered smartwatch work?
Love that you talked about the charger needing to be at least 15 watts as today I was looking for a dedicated charger for the watch, thank you.
Check the link!
@@JSyntaxI actually found a 15watt charger that only has a USB a port and luckily I have a USB c to USB a dongle. Just hope the dongle supports at least 15watts. Thank you for mentioning the link though!
I don't understand why they got rid of the metal bezel? now the screen is under attack, not protected. I would switch to 6, but looking at this, I'd rather stay on my 3
I've been down the rabbit hole. I'm trying to decide which Galaxy or any smartwatch to maybe buy. For similar reasons to you.
Just watched maaany videos but you are addressing a few things they didn't. And going into more detail. Especially things like the charge stand. So thank you mate!! 😃👌
Thank you!
Correct me if im wrong, but that watch isnt pulling nowhere near 15w if its taking over an hour to charge such a small battery
Danke!
Thank you for your support
wow, what a thorough review, well done.
Hi, what do you recommend between 40mm and 44mm regarding battery life?
Both are about the same! I charge daily when shower. It's ez
Loved your video review. I'm new to this watch and have a question of how do I review my step account for a day/date in the past week?
I got a question, if you look in the back of your Galaxy 5 Pro or 6 watch does a small hole now every time I go to put my watch in the morning I feel a little prick and when I check to see what it is I didn't notice anything at first but then upon closer looking there's like a little hole just close to the longer strap on the back no I compared it to where I felt the prick and it came from the same position that little hole is in I want to know out of every Watch review I seen they never talk about this little hole or what it is😮😮😅 so I'm asking what is
The tiny pinhole size hole in the backside of Samsungs watches is a barometer sensor it is used for altitude so the watch knows where it is , it senses air pressure changes.
I still have S3 Frontier, it is going to be 8 years and a battery life is still up to 3 days. It makes everything needed... from my bus nfc card to altimerer when hiking, regular swiming in a pool or sea, listening music...phone calls... yes 8 years.
I'm very impressed and for your sustainable practices
Good review thanks
JSyntax New to your channel.What a Wonderful in-depth review of not only Samsung but Garmin as well.Glad i caught this.Definitely great video to recommend for anyone dealing with sleep issues.Wish you the best.Have a Safe July 4th.💯✌️
Thank you! Happy 4th of July
Yes, build this strength training app please!
When will Samsung make xxl bands for the big men. I can't ever find anything to fit me. I need bigger than 235 mm
You can get a custom one
@@JSyntaxwhere at. I have looked everywhere
Is that a closed laptop on your desk powering your monitor? How do you set this up? In particular, how do you power it on and off while closed?
Open laptop,
Press the 'on' button,
Close the laptop,
Mission accomplished...
Shutting down is done on the OS.
I have the older watch 5, the difference seems to be minimal between the two, if youre getting either for the sleep tracker, get an apple watch instead.
If you dont have a samsung phone, you will have constant disconnection issues all the time, with a samsung phone there are 0 issues.
AMA if you want unbiased answer.
Excellent video, I just got my 44mm watch 6, cant wait to try it on🎉🎉
I just order one can't wait to see what it do
Classic 47mm has 425 battery I only had this watch for 2 week's it's my first smart watch
When will the watch get access to it's own routines??? I know about their phones and how the watch can control phone but I want the watch to have it's own routines. The programmable home button is not as reliable as i need it to be. My intention is for my voice recorder to start recording on watch as soon as I deactivate my morning alarm. Any help would be appreciated.
Google smart routines are up
@@JSyntax I'm sorry I'm not following. Are you saying...
"google smart routines" are up?
google "smart routines" up?
I have not, in 8 years of wearing fitness trackers, found a single silicone band that I can comfortably wear. Since I have very sensitive skin, it seemed like every single one I tried, original vs. generic, caused a red, painful rash unless I wore it incredibly loose. Wearing it that loose rendered the sensors all but completely useless. My last tracker just died so I'm shopping for a new one. Trying to decide between the Galaxy and the new Sense 2. I was leaning towards the Sense 2 due to more experience with Fitbit previously.. But I use a Samsung S21 ultra phone and the heart, O2, and blood pressure features would be very useful for my personal health issues...also have sleep apnea!
Bathurst gym as on Bathurst in North York? Just curious cuz I used to live in Toronto and I got obsessed with maps growing up there
Thanks for the review mate. I'm getting one of these for free with my s24 ultra, it'll probably take another month or two for samsung to deliver them (was my experience with the free buds I got with the s22 ultra). I never wanted a smart watch. But as someone with extreme and chronic insomnia I hope this watch can help shed some light on my sleeping behavior and my usage will probably be a lot like yours. As someone that hasn't even ever considered a smart watch, now I'm getting one for free I'm wondering why I didn't buy one earlier to track sleep and also use my phone less. (which is somehting I've been working hard at). Was almost tempted to buy the classic wifi and sell the 40 regular LTE one, mainly for the bezel but also because it's slightly bigger. But after watching this review I'm excited for the regular one. Maybe I'll buy a rotating bezel when they release the watch 7 or 8 (if I end up using the watch 6)
ps. I'm also kinda excited to try all the watch faces etc Kinda hope I can find a cool pipboy one lol.
I would be totally ok with it being usbc vs wireless if we can get fast charging.
getting dirt under you watch is common to all wrist watches if you actually wear them lol
In my Watch6, I never have to give PIN to use Samsung pay - just long press back button and tap - in and out of checkout queue in 2 secs flat. So not sure why u are forced to enter PIN. I tried Google pay too but many payment terminals give error for Google pay for some reason but Samsung Pay works flawlessly every time
Really? Hmm maybe they changed it
Nice vid! Still using Galaxy Watch 3 classic...
