Stylish with good battery life
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my 3rd different brand of smart watch. My biggest complaint to date was the inability to reliably get a full, busy day of use out of the battery. The Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 (40mm version) pulls its weight with at least 24 hours of runtime [rated at 30hr/40hr depending on "always on" feature--I do not have mine set to always on nor do I have wifi always on]. The battery fast charges to 8hr of charge in 8 minutes per the website. I have operated the watch mostly as a bluetooth paired device with my Android phone. The watch itself is very stylish, more so than its primary competitors, in my opinion. The band is very comfortable and easy to clasp and fits my wrist well. The screen pretty much goes right up to the edge--minimal wasted space on bezel. The screen is bright and bold and easy to read. Built-in GPS means you ditch the phone but still track your exercise when walking, hiking, cycling, etc. Although booting of the watch seems a bit sluggish, setup was easy. Essentially download the Galaxy Wearable app, turn bluetooth on on the phone, wait for the watch to give a code that you confirm over on the phone, then finish the setup and configuration on the phone. It took about 7 minutes including some time to do an update and a watch restart. The internal guts of the watch (processor, speed, storage, etc.) are all fine and fast and ample for what I need. Health, fitness and sleep are all great aspects of this watch, but here's where Samsung starts to lose me... There are too many uninstallable Samsung preloads on the watch. I live and die by Google apps and accounts and had hoped this Android driven watch would not come with too much bloatware. Even if I used a Samsung phone, I probably would still prefer my Google apps over the Samsung equivalents for health, music, photos, etc. The fact that I cannot uninstall the Samsung branded apps is frustrating, plus they appear to be always active (cannot turn off background activity on the Samsung Health Monitor app, for example, however it appears to be using 0% of the battery at the moment). At best, I can move these apps to the bottom of my app list and install my preferred equivalent apps to the top of the list. All in all, a very stylish, easy to use and read smart watch with better than average battery life but a little bloated with Samsung apps (health app being among the best) and tools that cannot be removed.

Nice features ... poor battery life
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Setup was a little challenging. I downloaded the Wear app and followed the instructions. It had trouble pairing and gave the same error message several times. Samsung’s help page said to hold both buttons on the watch at the same time until the watch starts rebooting (don’t just turn off). That worked and I was able to pair the watch. Then it walks you through several permissions and wants you to download several apps on your phone for additional functions. It was painful to receive error messages for almost every associated app at login. Multiple tries were required. Tip – update the software on your watch first. The watch will connect to your cellular network without your phone. The Galaxy 6 does allow for a lot of customization and has a lot of apps, including: Fitness Tracking including specific types of exercises Personalized heart rate zones and targeted intensity Sleep coaching to track your sleep stages and snoring Heart rate monitoring EKG (Samsung phones) Text Make phone calls Calendar Take photos using the watch as a controller (Samsung phones) Fall detection – will call your emergency contact Samsung Wallet Calculator, Stopwatch, etc… Call clarity was very good. And I didn’t have to hold the watch to my mouth secret agent style. The enclosed watch charger is fast charging but only has a USB-C connector and no AC adapter. I used an AC adapter to connect to the charger and it still fast charged for me. I wasn’t impressed with the battery life. Samsung Health is a great feature but it also drains the battery. My battery only lasted 19 ½ hours. I kept the display off during this time, used Samsung Health to monitor sleeping and exercise and only looked at a few emails and texts. The battery should last at least 30 hours, even if you keep the display on. Arriving at work today, the watch said I had 9 hours of battery left. It lasted about 4 hours and died. I use Outlook to store my contacts, calendar and emails. It syncs with my Google account via CompanionLink and it all connected seamlessly. The screen is bright, bold and big. Typing is a little difficult when trying to respond to a text or email message using the keyboard. Samsung Health is a great app and you can track weight, water consumption, types of activities, heart rate, stress, sleep, steps, blood oxygen, calories, etc… I keep discovering new ways to use it. I am a little concerned about sleep tracking. It doesn’t seem to track Deep Stage sleep very well. Samsung Health Monitor (a different app) will only work if you are able to download that app on your phone. It seems to only be available for Samsung phones so I wasn’t able to try this feature. You can even play music and the speaker isn’t awful. Amazon music playlists can be added in your phone to play on the watch. You can swap out straps too – Samsung offers other bands for $50 and up that can be easily changed with One-Click. I am not very fond of the rubber type strap included as it remains moist if you get water under it during hand washing. FYI – it comes with a S/M band which was fine for my wrist. Summary … I like the Galaxy Watch6. If the battery lasted twice as long and you didn’t have to have a Samsung phone to use all of the features, it may have totally won my heart. It’s fun and offers a lot of convenience at your wrist but some things I strongly prefer to do on my phone.

One of the best Android Smart watch!
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Samsung Watch 6 is easily one of the best android smart watch in the market today. If you are new to smart watches or looking to upgrade, the Watch 6 is easily one of the best options. Look and Feel: -------------------- With a 40mm dial, its gracefully simple, beautiful, and compact – surprisingly, it looks equally great on a 12-year-old’s, ladies, and men’s wrists. For those who prefer a larger dial, there are bigger options and classic which enhances the look further. The crystal glass is super strong and seems scratch resistant. I have already seen this in Watch 5 for about a year and I am expecting this to be no different in watch 6. At just about 1 oz, the watch feels extremely light and after a while, you don’t realize you have it on. There are various band options. The default one is a “fluoroelastomer” which is a fluorocarbon-based synthetic rubber and feels light and comfortable. Watch 6 comes with a button press type band, which is so easy to remove and swap the bands around. Display: ----------- It’s a step up from Watch 5, with a much-reduced bezel. With 1.31 inch AMOLED 330 ppi display with Sapphire Crystal Glass, the display is crystal clear even in bright sunlight. Pairing and Setup: ------------------------- Pairing with an android phone is a simple process. All you need to do is install Galaxy wear app on your phone. It detects the watch automatically and the setup process is a breeze. Fitness & Health Tracker: ---------------------------------- The watch automatically detects the workout mode and it measures the duration, distance calories burned. It automatically detects different kinds of activities like running, jogging, walking, rowing, swimming etc. If something isn’t automatic, then it can be tracked manually. This also measures Heart rate, Blood-oxygen, ECG, Skin Temperature. This also features snore detection, and tracks sleep stages like Light/deep sleep. Tech Spec: --------------- With 2GB RAM and 16 GB internal memory, this watch is super fast and has no lags switching between apps / tiles. This has 5.3 Bluetooth version and supports WiFi 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz It sports NFC, and the coolest feature is to tap your watch to pay using Samsung Wallet. This also has a mic and speaker, where you can even take calls if needed from the watch. Battery: ----------- With abundant features packed into this little lightweight gem, with a 300 mah capacity it manages to provide a battery life of just over 24 hours, making everyday charging a must. It sports a quick charging with a 30-minute charge provides about 50% battery. It took an hour and 5 minutes to charge from 15% to 100% OS & Watch Faces: --------------------------- This runs on Wear OS 4 and sports a huge variety of watch faces – Analog, Digital, Sporty, Simple, Basic, Minimalist, Informative with all sorts of customizations. Conclusion: ----------------- The watch is not only stylish but also extremely lightweight and comfortable to wear. I do not need to take out my phone from my pocket every time I hear a chime. With so many band options and watch faces, it just feels new every time even after months of use. This is one of the reasons why I prefer a smart watch over a regular watch. Plus, it features fitness tracking and health tracking – all added benefits. With all such amazing features, I have no hesitation to recommend a smart watch and a Samsung Galaxy watch in particular, as this is one of the best android watches available in market today.

Great compliment watch to your Samsung phone
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Short Summary: One of the best Sumsung accessories for your new Samsung phone that compliments and extends usability and function. It's fast and responsive over the past generations and easy to use. User interface takes some getting use to if you're not familiar with the Samsung watch OS. I'd highly recommend this for runners that do not want to carry your phone and the tech savvy people looking to say connected via watch notifications. In the box: Samsung Smart Watch 6 USB-C magnetic charging base Manuals Setup: Setting up the watch is very simple on my Samsung phone. The in watch setup was very helpful and easy and the on phone instructions made it simple to personalize the watch face to my useful widgets. Use: I got this watch to complement my new Samsung watch. I've own 2 previous generations of this watch and it just keeps getting better and better. A little bit about what I use this watch for: 1. Tracking distance, heart beat, and pace while running 2. Tracking of steps and daily stretching reminders 3. Notifications discretely while working or with company 4. Listening to music with out my phone I'm often running and it's just a hassle running with my large phone. I want to just focus on my pace and breathing and not worry about if I'm going to drop my phone. The Samsung Watch 6 is perfect for runners trying to track different metric of your run like pace, distance, and heart beat. The smart watch 6 also works as a music player. I use spotify with my watch and works perfectly. NOTE, in past generation of the watch I was able to use the onboard speaker to listen to music if I forgot my earphones but this gen doesn't seem to support playing music through the watch speaker. I'm sure its a setting I haven't figured out. I also like the that I can discretely get notifications when I'm in a work meeting or with company. I don't have to be rude and look at my phone when I can turn to glance at my watch and respond there if needed. Conclusion: I'd highly recommend this for any one looking to add functionality to your Samsung phone or simply just look stylish.

Smooth like butter!
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm excited to wear the new Samsung Galaxy Watch 6. I have a Samsung Galaxy S23 to pair the watch with. I would say setup is absolutely a breeze since the wearable app is already pre-installed on the phone. The screen is gorgeous and the band is super super soft, smooth like butter as the BTS guys said. The screen is defaulted to "Always ON", as a result of this, upon wearing it on the first day, I was left with 20% battery level by 3:30pm. So, the next day, I switched it to "ON" only when I lifted my wrist or tap the screen. The result was night and day, I was left with 80% battery level by 3:30pm this time. Charging time is also uber fast. My favorite thing is how customizable the watch and the screen is just so vivid. I would encourage everyone buying this watch to install a screen protector before wearing it. After wearing it on the first day, I somehow cracked the tempered glass screen protector and I had no idea how it happened. The only thing I wish is how thick the bezel is. I wish it can be a little bit thinner.

Some glitches
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm getting about 1.5 to 2 days before needing to charge again. Wore it to track my sleep last night but, for some reason, did not record data; just gave me a msg. telling me to wear it while sleeping! Still too new to know if it's a defect of the watch as the same thing happened the 1st or 2nd night I wore it. I know it was on "tight" enough & it was worn in the recommended position. Unfortunately, though, I've forgotten to charge it when the battery gets too low to last through the night so I put it on the charger right before I go to bed & I'll fall asleep before it gets charged or sometimes I just forget to put it back on. So, because I've not been consistent in wearing it to sleep, I can't tell if it's going to be something that will happen more often. I've only had it about a week. I'm also a little disappointed in the watch faces offered, specifically, for free. I had a Samsung Active 2 watch that broke, thus the real reason I bought this one. Anyway, in that watch, I loved the variety of FREE watch faces that it offered. This one has limited free ones. There are ones that look free, but, when they're downloaded, I found that, if I wanted some of the features, I'd have to buy it! Granted, the cost is only a buck or two, but I was used to having more free options, or, at least, more free options that I actually like. For instance, why can't they offer something simple & pretty not associated w/ a "cause" or meaning? As far as the tech, I'm still trying to learn how to use it. I can't seem to get Google Assistant to work on it. It keeps telling me to set it up on the phone app. I follow the instructions but it keeps giving me the same msg to set it up on the phone. Maybe I'm not tech savvy enough. Guess I have to play around with it a little more. Overall, at this point, it's more than a 3 star rating, but the jury's still out if it deserves the full 4 stars I've given it.

Love it
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love this watch! The size is perfect for my (smaller) wrist and I prefer the 'classic' round style as opposed to rectangular. I use it for the basic functions (text, phone calls, emails) and it works wonderfully. I also use it daily for working out and it does a great job tracking my activity. Some people complain about the battery life, but I haven't had a problem with that, and it charges very quickly.

I chose the aluminum because it is very lightweight. The only downside I have found so far is battery life. I pretty much have to charge it every day and if I want to be able to have the Sleep features then I have to remember to do it during the day at some point. Love that there are so many bands available for it,

Okay Watch
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good watch but not a replacement for an Apple Watch. This watch will do the basic functions but I found the Apple Watch to have a more seemless UI. It is chunkier than the AW but is still stylish and can be dressed up. The battery life is not great, you will need to charge it every night.
