ADDITIONAL REVIEW NOTES:
The Galaxy watch6 classic came out one month ago and in the first month, there was a lot of noise and a lot of excitement surrounding this new smartwatch with it’s elegant rotating bezel and premium design. There were a lot of very positive reviews, and I myself said it could bery well be the best android smartwatch of the year
Now that it has been 1 month, it is time to set the spec sheets aside and see how this watch actually performs under daily use. I have been wearing this watch every day since it came out and I found a lot of things that were not mentioned in original reviews as well as some changes that have been made. In this video, I want to share with you what I found to be the most annoying setbacks, the in depth accuracy testing, and the most positive features that you might not notice when you first put the watch on

PRO
The larger display is so nice, especially for workouts

CON
Ending workouts is a pain
Samsung needs to reprogram buttons during a workout.
Annoying to end a workout
You can press and hold the bottom button to pause the workout though
What about laps?
What about stopping?

PRO
You can add multiple workouts and string them together with the + icon
GPS locks quickly
The trick - change settings!

PRO
Despite being the classic variant, it is more durable for sports than the active
Super durable - sapphire crystal display, stainless steel casing plus button guard
Button guard is essential in preventing accidental presses

CON
This has a new chip inside that is technically a bit faster, but I still find some significant lag, especially with tiles

PRO
Google integration is amazing
Google Assistant brings this watch to the next level
I tend to use Google maps a lot on my wrist when biking or riding a scooter

SPEAKER TEST


PRO
Comfortable for sleep

CON
I charge overnight so I never wear this to bed

I tried for a few nights and I slept well, so I guess the infrared LEDs worked
Pretty difficult to verify the sleep accuracy

PRO
Quick release strap is not the easiest to use, but wayyy better than before!
The watch transfer function is so nice! I switched phones multiple times


I regret not having the silver one


Battery life
TESTED
With AOD, I get about 1.5 days
With just gesture only, I get about 2 days

I really use this watch for four things
Time/Date/Weather
Fitness tracking
Notifications
Google Assistant - very fast! A huge improvement over previous years

ACCURACY
I wouldn’t wager much on the body composition
Sleep tracking is hard to validate

Marginally better than years past but still inaccurate
No multiband GPS
The new track run sport mode is a game changer! Except it tends to learn the track at an offset

This watch is clearly designed to be an everyday smartwatch and ideal for casual walking or treadmill usage. If you are serious about training, this is just too inaccurate. You cannot reliably train for a triathlon or any distance/time/heart rate goal with this watch.

CONCLUSION
This is probably the nicest looking and feeling smartwatches on the market. But you need to ask yourself why you are getting a watch? If it is for style, notifications, light health tracking, or just as an extension of your phone, then this is the best Android watch to get. If your top priority is fitness tracking because you are training for a goal, then I recommend the Garmin Venu 2 plus
