Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is my first smart watch. I've hesitated in the past because I didn't want something I had to charge every night. I'm coming from a Garmin Vivofit 3. The Garmin is a very simple device. It track steps, provides time, date and estimates distance traveled and calories burned. Because of its simplicity, I was able to get away with replacing the button cell battery about once a year. My requirements for a smart watch are rather simple. Step counter, notification from email, and texts and be able to occasionally handle phone calls. While it may have health sensors, I'm not initially interested in them. The Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 meets all of these requirements very easily. I have it paired to a Pixel 6A phone and it runs very well. I had to download and install the Galaxy Wear and Samsung Health Apps which is typically pre-installed on a Samsung phone. There may be some functions that are limited to Samsung phones, but I wasn't too concerned with that. There weren't any surprises with setup. I liked that I was able to find a chronograph style face very quickly. As I drilled down through the menu system, I found the Samsung Health settings and disabled all but the step counter. I was pleased to learn that with all of the other sensors disabled, I could easily get 2+ days of use out of the Galaxy Watch 6. There really wasn't much battery drain when just laying the watch down on my desk overnight. After my first try of setting up the watch with most of the health sensors disabled, I realized I somehow disabled the step counter too. I tried to guess which options would turn it back on but after playing with it on and off while going about my day, I gave up and just reset the watch. This wasn't the fault of the Galaxy Watch 6 or WearOS. I caused the problem. After the reset, I was able to accomplish my goal, disabled all the other sensors except step counting and I've been pleased with it since. There are several apps that the Galaxy Watch 6 has available, but I was initially turned off because I couldn't find a Gmail app (but I could find an Outlook app??). I initially thought this was a major oversight on Google's WearOS. I'm a Verizon customer and I like their Message+ app on their phones that allow you to manage texts better than Google's native Messages app. I couldn't find that either on the WearOS supported apps. After looking at the Notifications menu, I was able to find notification options for both Gmail and Message+ apps. While I cannot scroll through all my texts and emails on the watch, it does allow me to know when new messages come through and I can quickly preview them before I jump on my phone to tap out a reponse. When I flipped the Galaxy Watch 6 over, I noticed two silver ovals. I initially thought they were conductive sensors, but quickly realized they were release buttons for the band. I bought a band that matched my style as well as protective glass and body case. The band has a different style of pin release but I enjoy the new band more than the silicone strap that comes with the Watch 6. Also in the case is a small wireless charger. It has a USB-C connector, but no wall adapter. The charger is magnetic and helps to position the Watch 6 correctly for optimal charging. The watch itself charges quickly. I'll probably come around to the other health sensors even when they will put a drain on the battery. But so far, I'm enjoying the Galaxy Watch 6.

This watch does everything I wanted and more. It has given us inside about heart rates and sleep. And it's very stylish and easy to use.

Very happy with this product. Arrived right on time. Works really great. I love the style, size of this watch and all the features.

Love the big screen. I can easily see everything on the screen. Easy to navigate around the different apps.

Love the color and the fit! Upgraded from the previous version and love the new features and design.

Tracks my sleep, heart rate, and ECG. Plus the battery is lasting me up to 45 hours on one charge when power saving is on even while it's still automatically tracking certain vitals and alarms are in use. On top of that it's durable, I've worn it under bunker gear to structure fires and the heat has never been an issue for it

It's a great tool for fitness and any other occasion even when you wear sports clothes or casual. I love it. The battery it's great. 100 % recommended.

The watch is very easy to use and looks great highly recommend

Love this watch! Had previously owned an Apple watch that I loved but switched to android. Most of my friends are all Apple users and told me not to buy it because its trash compared to Apple watch but I can say that after owning for over a month, that is not the case.

Overall very impressed with the quality and improvements from previous generations. Though i felt like the previous watch battery lasted longer. I believe the new features drain battery quicker. I charge it an hour a day instead of a couple hours every other day.

I like it alot. The battery life isnt as long as id like. Its not something you can just put to the back of your mind. You do have to be aware of it. But watches with long battery life, like garmen, are very minimal in their "techieness". The galaxy watch is definitely techie.

This is my 3rd Samsung watch I own. The user interface is easy to use and costumize. Battery life is good. I will recommend.

Brought the watch as a Mother’s Day gift for my mom. She absolutely loved it!!!! She loves the fact that it tracks her steps, heart and breathing. Totally worth it and recommend.

I got this watch as a gift and i love it its very lightweight and sturdy built quality easy to pair with phone and Galaxy Buds would recommend!

Excellent!! I love!! It looks great in my hand, it's not heavy, and it works well with my phone.

Overal this is a great warch. Charges easier then my fitbit. The gigs of memory is really nice. Allows for a few apps and pictures. The only reason why i dropped 1 star is the battery life is much shorter. My fitbit could last days, but this watch needs every day.

Best sport watch for gym and exercise. Love the quality of the watch and display

I love this watch. It is fast and responsive. It is also very light on my arm. The only reason i gave this 4 instead of 5 stars was for the battery life. It hasn't improved over watches that came out years ago. It lasts 1.5 days.

This product was the best! I would 100% recommend this product at Best Buy. The product battery, duration, and everything made me want to buy this watch for my whole family, and I have 6 people in my family, including me!
