Samsung Galaxy Watch6 Classic review

The ring is back, and not thanks to Frodo. Samsung has thankfully reconsidered, and it brought back the unique rotating bezel for the new Galaxy Watch6...

Sapphire glass and good build quality, and the strap feels better now.

Quite expensive at launch.

However, the downgrade in battery life and the price premium for the Classic version are two considerable drawbacks. The polished One UI over Wear OS and the deep integration with Google's apps (Google Maps navigation on your wrist is pretty neat!) may...

Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Classic review: Samsung’s best smartwatch yet

Samsung has brought the rotating bezel back for the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic, and in our review, we explain why there's a whole lot more to this great smartwatch.

Rotating bezel A choice of case size Supreme 24/7 comfort High quality materials Comprehensive health and fitness tracking

Spotty notification reliability Performance doesn't always impress

“The Galaxy Watch 6 Classic has superb styling, all-day comfort, comprehensive health tracking, and more. It's the smartwatch to buy for your Android phone.”

Review: Samsung Galaxy Watch6 Classic

Samsung's new smartwatch rightly brings back the rotating bezel, but that's about all that really stands out.

Comfy to wear. You can switch phones without resetting the watch. Mechanical bezel is back, baby. Two-day battery life (with always-on display off). Robust set of health and fitness features. Improved app selection.

Some health features only work with Samsung phones. Heart rate discrepancies. Some lag here and there. Pricey.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Classic Review

Rotating bezel ; Stainless steel case ; Attractive synthetic leather strap ; Bigger, brighter screen than previous model ; Excellent sleep insights ; Active skin temperature sensor ; Reliable automatic workout detection ; Two case sizes, optional LTE...

Heavier than standard model ; Mediocre battery life ; Minor workout heart rate accuracy issues

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Classic smartwatch offers the same improved display and middling battery life of its more affordable sibling, but in a deluxe design that brings back the beloved rotating bezel.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Classic Review: More Than Just A Rotating Bezel - SlashGear

Samsung's latest Galaxy Watch 6 Classic brings back a fan-favorite feature, but with health tracking as the focus there's more than the bezel to recommend it.

Vibrant Super AMOLED display ; Thin rotating bezel ; Accurate health, sleep, and activity tracking ; Ships with Wear OS 4 and One UI 5 Watch ; Charging is super fast

Battery life could be better ; Minimal upgrades from the 5 Pro and 4 Classic

Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Classic Review: Bezelicious!

The Galaxy Watch 6 Classic shapes up to be a very timely return to form for Samsung.

Superb design with a rotating bezel ; Large and bright display ; Very decent battery life ; Excellent value ; Lots of features and functionalities

Some of its best features are limited to Galaxy devices ; New latch mechanism is too stiff, bands are a bit hard to swap ; A bit too big and heavy, not comfortable to wear at night
