Q: What does it mean by carrier GPS? I thought the watch is not carrier locked, isn't it?
A: The LTE and Bluetooth models of the Galaxy Watch 6 are the same in every aspect, although the difference is that the LTE model is equipped with an eSIM that enables cellular connectivity. As a result, the LTE model is a standalone smartwatch that can make and receive calls, and receive and reply to messages independent of a smartphone. Meanwhile, the Bluetooth model can also make and receive calls, but it requires your phone to be nearby to do that. so LTE needs a separate service but can be stand alone where as BT only needs a device/phone that already has service.
Q: what does carrier "GPS" mean exactly? how does it differ from "unlocked"
A: Carrier GPS means that the watch has a GPS receiver, but it does not have cellular connectivity. This means that you can use the watch to track your location and distance traveled, but you will not be able to use it to make or receive calls, send or receive text messages, or access the internet without your phone nearby. Unlocked means that the watch is not locked to a specific carrier. This means that you can use it with any cellular carrier that supports GSM or LTE. Unlocked watches are typically more expensive than carrier-locked watches, but they offer greater flexibility in terms of choosing a carrier and a cellular plan. Which type of smartwatch is right for you depends on your individual needs and preferences. If you only need a watch to track your fitness and location, then a carrier GPS watch may be a good option for you. However, if you want a watch that you can use to stay connected without your phone, then an unlocked watch is a better choice. Here are some examples of situations where you might want to use an unlocked smartwatch without your phone: You are going for a run or bike ride and don't want to carry your phone with you. You are at the gym and want to listen to music without having to carry your phone. You are on vacation and want to be able to make and receive calls and text messages without having to pay for international roaming charges. If you are considering purchasing an unlocked smartwatch, be sure to check with your cellular carrier to make sure that it is compatible with their network.
Q: Does this watch show, receive, read & send RCS text
A: The Samsung Galaxy Watch6 Aluminum Smartwatch 40mm BT can show, receive, read, and send RCS text messages if the phone it is paired with has RCS enabled. RCS stands for Rich Communication Services, and it is a more advanced messaging protocol than SMS. RCS messages can include features such as typing indicators, read receipts, and high-quality photos and videos. To enable RCS on your phone, you will need to use the Messages app from Google. Open the Messages app and tap on the three dots in the top right corner. Then, select Settings > Chat features > Turn on chat features. Once RCS is enabled on your phone, it will be enabled on your watch as well. You can then send and receive RCS messages from your watch just like you would from your phone. However, it is important to note that not all carriers support RCS. If your carrier does not support RCS, you will not be able to use these features on your watch. Here are the steps on how to check if your carrier supports RCS: Open the Messages app on your phone. Tap on the three dots in the top right corner. Select Settings > Chat features. If you see the message "Chat features are unavailable," then your carrier does not support RCS. If your carrier does not support RCS, you can still use your watch to send and receive SMS messages. However, you will not be able to use the more advanced features that are available with RCS.
Q: What about the trade in value?
A: The Trade in value works within the relation to the item you are trading. I traded my galaxy watch 5 and receive great credit toward purchasing the galaxy watch 6.
Q: Does this watch take your blood pressure?
A: No, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 BT does not take blood pressure measurements in North America. The blood pressure monitoring feature is currently only available in South Korea and other select markets. Samsung is working to obtain FDA approval for the blood pressure monitoring feature in the United States, but it is unclear when or if this will happen. In the meantime, there are a few third-party apps that can be used to measure blood pressure on the Galaxy Watch 6 BT. However, these apps are not as accurate as the built-in blood pressure monitor on the South Korean version of the watch. One such app is called My BP Lab 2.0. This app uses the watch's optical heart rate sensor to estimate blood pressure. However, it is important to note that My BP Lab 2.0 is not a medical device and should not be used to diagnose or treat high blood pressure.
Q: can this watch measure blood pressure?
A: Hi there RamonJ, thanks for taking the opportunity to ask us your question about the Samsung Galaxy Watch6. That's a good question! Unfortunately, due to US government regulations, the blood pressure feature is only available in select markets which does not include the US. Please feel free to contact Samsung Support if you think of any other questions for us. Thank you for being a loyal Samsung customer. - Debra
Q: Does this watch have fall detection?
A: Yes, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 BT has fall detection. This feature uses the watch's accelerometer to detect if you have fallen. If a fall is detected, the watch will vibrate and sound an alarm. You will have the option to cancel the alarm or to send an SOS message to your emergency contacts. To enable fall detection on the Galaxy Watch 6 BT, follow these steps: Open the Galaxy Wearable app on your phone. Tap Watch settings. Tap Safety and emergency. Tap Hard fall detection. Tap the toggle switch next to Hard fall detection to turn it on. You can also customize the fall detection settings to choose how long you have to cancel the alarm before an SOS message is sent. Fall detection is a valuable safety feature for older adults and people with disabilities. It can help to ensure that you receive help quickly if you have a fall.
Q: Does it detect if you fall and alert someone?
A: Yes, the watch detects falls and will alert someone. However, it will not detect pretend falls.

Samsung Watch 6
The Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 has been a great experience for me because it combines style, comfort, and performance in one device. I really like the bright AMOLED display and slim design, which makes it easy to wear all day and read at a glance. The health and fitness features have been especially useful—I’ve used the sleep tracking, workout detection, and body composition tools to stay on top of my goals. Battery life usually lasts me about two days, which is decent, though I do wish it were longer. Some features like ECG and blood pressure tracking only work with Samsung phones, but overall I feel the Watch 6 is one of the best smartwatches I’ve used, especially as an Android user in the Samsung ecosystem.

Great watch
Have had this watch for a few months now. Here are my thoughts, Battery life lasts 2 days with normal use, more if battery saver is turned on. I love being able to answer calls and texts from my watch, see the weather, my compass etc. The bezel sometimes sticks now but I also haven’t super cleaned it and I work outside all day so it’s due for a clean up. All in all great watch, tracks sleep, heart rate, steps. And charges super quick!
