A lot of smart watches look… Like smart watches. Kind of like oversized wrist computers. That's why I'm always intrigued when I see a smart watch that looks like… A watch. Case in point, Samsung's brand new watch 6. I had the chance to try Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 on and see what it’s really like.
In this review I’ll tell you what I found after wearing the watch for about 2 weeks; how it feels, what it looks like, what you can do and track and how useful it is, both with Samsung gadgets and any other options.

Since I haven’t reviewed a Galaxy in quite some time, I’ll get you up to speed .
I’ve got the Watch 6 and there’s also a variant called Watch 6 Classic with a stainless-steel case and a leather band and comes with slightly larger sizes The Classic also has a rotating bezel which you can use to scroll through apps without touching the screen.

Samsung, like Google, have opted for the round watch face to counter Apple’s insistence on being the square at the wearables party. The Watch design of my test sample uses a light grey band with a silver bezel, so it looks a bit more like a regular watch and less like Beam Me Up Scotty.
The AMOLED touchscreen is light and bright and seems more colourful and intense than my last go round with a Samsung Watch.
I received a new Samsung Flip 5 to test with the watch to ensure a seamless Samsung ecosystem experience.

The set up did seem to take quite a long time, but I chalk that up to my lack of familiarity with both the new Z Flip 5 and the watch interface. Samsung fans will probably breeze through it a lot faster.

The watch has a really nice design, and feels leaner on the wrist than the last one I reviewed. The silicone band is comfortable if rather plain looking, but there’s also plenty of other options now for it too.
My biggest beef with smart watches at the moment is that they are clearly designed for men and men only; they are both overpowering and unnecessarily clunky on a woman’s wrist, and I say that as someone who prefers a larger watch.


The loaner watch I received only came with one size of wrist band, so I don’t think I had an ideal fit, as it was a bit droopy, and I often got demands from the watch asking me to place it higher up on my wrist so it could take proper readings. I can’t tell if there is only one size of band, or if an alternate smaller band got lost along the way. No points deducted, just in case.

You’ll get all the requisite information, notifications, and integrations that you wish to allow to come to your wrist. Everything from text messages to calendar notifications, and any other useful information you want your phone to pass on to your wrist. That makes it a super capable and seamless partner for Samsung users.

Back when I reviewed the Watch Active in 2019, it was possible to get at least some use out of the watch even if you used an Apple iPhone. Though Samsung didn’t brag about it, and they’re not the kindest dance partners, you could use older Watches if you owned an iphone. Not any more.Samsung has made its array of smartwatches incompatible with non-Android phones, so it’s all but mandatory that if you want this watch you have or need to get a Samsung phone.
Vo 5
The Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 is running Google’s Wear operating sytstem which means that it should jive well with virtually any Android device released in the last few years. But keep in mind that you’ll find some Samsung sorcery in every corner and some of that magic will only work if you pair it with a Samsung smartphone.
