The rotating bezel is the critical factor for me. Last year I traded in my old galaxy watch version 1 to upgrade to the Galaxy watch 5 pro thinking that the lack of rotating bezel wouldn't bother me much. I use my watch as a golf gps and found that navigation through swipes with sweaty fingers not only smearing the screen, but getting false presses was a pain in the you know where. I just preordered the 6 classic and will trade in my 5 pro

A real use feedback, thanks!

allow me to put forward that while sapphire crystal is far more scratch resistant, it is less impact resistant than glass. your watch cracked despite being sapphire because it is meant for a different resistance than the forces it came up against. sapphire crystal works best when inset and protected by a bezel so only corners can really hit it, since the regular/active variants have no protection, they are very prone to cracking. hope this is informative!

For the last three watches I've had the 44 mm I don't know if I made a mistake purchasing the 43 classic😢 does the 47 mm feel too big for your wrist as well as look too large?

Is the 47mm Silver model the polished stainless steel? I have the GW 4 Classic 46mm and was very surprised when I saw the 44mm Silver HW 4 Classic as it was shiny and beautiful like mirror chrome whereas my 46mm Classic 4 is more akin to brushed aluminum (even tho it is supposedly stainless steel). I did find out from other owners that all the 46mm ones are the brushed look for some reason, so I’m hoping Samsung went with shiny chrome on the large model this time! If not then probably will get the black model for variety, but if you can shed light on this it would be great!!! Thamks!

What about the fall detection? I was not able to get it working on my Watch4 or Watch5. Nor have I been able to test this function. How should this function be tested? I noticed that all pre-watch6 state "Hard Fall Detection" and the Watch6 states "Fall Detection". To me this implies that there is something different. Was it enhanced? Getting assistance from Samsung on this has been impossible for me.

@@james-ji2ym Not worth it as an upgrade from the Watch4 Classic 46mm. I have good battery. I like the thick bezel of it, and the screen is already bright and big enough for me. Plus I don't really care about the .5GB RAM more and the newer SoC. It's already fast enough for me. The Watch6 series have the temp sensor which is quite useless as Samsung still didn't release it, and the heart rate and sleep tracking tend to be inaccurate compared to the Watch 4 and 5. So the Watch4 Classic is a win for me. Almost 2 years that I have it and it's still going strong. There are still updates (though I'm avoiding latest one) and I like the brushed and matte finish of it. Whereas the Watch6 Classic has a glossy finish with less brushed finition. After all it's your opinion. But when it comes to upgrades I just don't until something new and big is released. Haven't upgraded my S9 until the S23 (and I didn't want to, the S23 was a gift). I was waiting for some huge technology innovation like camera under screen.

Last rotation bezel for me was the watch 3 I think and I don't miss it. The look of the regular is just more tech'sh and futuristic imo. Regular Watch 6 all the way.

I’m an apple user but I’m getting a Samsung as a second line, I used an older galaxy watch with a rotating bezel (2016?) and enjoyed it, but I feel having the same feature as haptic feedback is fine and more modern. The all flat display is very appealing to the eye. No need to spend extra money for the rotating ring, so I got the regular 6 and some glass protectors on Amazon. ☺️

Thanks for a great preview/review! I had to put up with the non-rotating Active 2, but did not like my Watch 5 because it did not rotate (also I am a Tizen fan!). I can't fix the Tizan thing, but am happy to get a Watch 6 Classic with its "normal" rotating bezel!

I had both and returned the classic. The rotating dial doesn't make it worth it when the watch is way thicker and heavier. The non classic is so much easier on the wrist.

Yeah I pre-ordered the watch six classic I love the bulky big watch I just recently in the last week left a long-term relationship with Apple and switch to android. Went with the Razr+ I got tired of the brick phone meaning the iPhone it doesn’t flip etc. so I gave my iPhone 13 pro max to my wife because she’s a loyal Apple user and sold my Apple Watch Ultra and since switching to android i’m much happier. I’ve always loved flip phones back in the day, but now that they’re straight touch screens I love it even more now if Apple ever comes out with a foldable of their own, I’ll go back, but until then I’m sticking with android, and you do so much more when it comes to multitasking with android that you can’t do on iPhone

My first smartwatch since the original Moto 360! I got the Watch 6 for $270 after discounts from Samsung!

I have the 40mm Galaxy Active 2 and haven't found the digital bezel a problem, the majority of the screen is visible when I'm rotating round the options. I prefer a discreet watch so the GW6 40mm would be my preference. It would be good to be able to print out a template to get a feel for the size. I am most interested in are battery life and water resistance. My Active 2 can comfortably last 48 hours, GW5 users seem to struggle with 24 hours and that's with Samsung's recommendations to constraining many of the features to save power. The GW6 has a bigger battery but does that translate into a much improved run time? How will the 300 mAh and 425 mAh compare? My Active 2 charges pretty quickly and there's generally an inactive point in the day when I can put it on charge for an hour. Maybe battery life shouldn't be a big concern. The forums and channels raise a lot of issues with watches failing due to water ingress. I did see a Samsung response which indicated that they can be immersed in water but there shouldn't be any vigorous movement. So not suited to swimming? I've not risked my Active 2 in the pool, I'd love a watch that could track my swimming.

@@LauraO4 The water lock seems to be a help, especially as it will blow droplets of water out. I was just being overly careful given quite a few people had posted issues after swimming, but then many more had reported no issues. I was planning to give my Active 2 a try given it wouldn't be expensive to replace. Today, I have just received a Watch6, I thought I would give it a try given there is a free return option. I have only been using it for a few hours and what was immediately obvious is how much bigger the visible display is despite the case being a very similar size. I have the 40mm Active 2 and now the 40mm Watch6. I don't like big watches and a smallish wrist so this seemed the best choice. So far it is perfect, I will see how it performs and how long the battery lasts. I've reasoned it probably won't last as long as the Active 2 but for most situations I can take it off and fast charge it quickly.

Honestly, when I got the bigger watch, I thought the bigger screen would add to the usability. But I use the bezel and buttons 98% of the time, so the bigger screen is lossed on me. If you use your watch for directions, maps, or reading Maaaybe. The larger is marginally useful. Overall, I am pleased with both. But if I could only pick one. It's the smaller. If you have huge wrists, the larger might blend better. Hope this helps. Also, the battery is about the same, no difference. So just pick whichever you like more.
