I own the ultra and my mother owns the 6 classic and one thing I don’t believe you mentioned is the charging speed and a sleep tracking feature. On paper it seems like they charge about the same speed but from our experience my ultra takes closer to 2 hours to charge while my moms 6 classic takes a little under a hour and a half. This IMO kind of levels the battery comparison because you can simply charge the 6 while showering and that should prevent it from ever really dying ( assuming you shower daily lol and this is the same time i charge my ultra and it has never died since I’ve owned it ) With the sleep tracker feature the ultra does NOT automatically track your sleep, you have to set a bedtime and magically try your hardest to fall asleep around the time set, this to me is a huge deal and i had to download a 3rd party app to track my sleep and even that isn’t always accurate. The sleep tracker on the 6 classic isn’t always accurate either but at least its automatic. Something i hope comes to the newer Apple Watches. Another thing id admit is the screen on the classic is SOOO much more pleasing to look at, not saying the ultra isn’t pretty buy side by side the classic’s screen just looks better.
I love my classic. And round watches seem more casual looking but in and Samsung knight so yeah. But glad you are open minded on this some people will refuse to say anything going against apple or in comparison to other products
@ravager337 she has the 43mm Since I made the initial post, I actually jumped to android because I couldn't get over how pretty the classic was and got one myself, but the 47mm with the s23 ultra.😂 I'm mentioning only because if your wrist is big enough, I think the extra bucks you gotta dish out for the 47mm is SOOOO worth it.
I just got the Galaxy watch 6 classic on September 22nd 2023 and I gotta say, it is a very beautiful watch and I've been very impressed so far. I wanted to get an Apple Watch ultra but the new iPhone 15 pro did not impress me so I decided to stick with my S23 ultra and I'm glad I did. The watch 6 classic can do so much and the amount of customization options is crazy, google assistant works great and you can also pair it with google wallet. The performance is great and so is the battery, it does take a few days to learn your battery patterns but after that you will get 2-3 days for sure (I've only had it for 2 days but other reviews have confirmed this).
I have the ultra n my pet peave is the Apple Watch always looked like a kids watch. The ultra is sleek with the stainless and round with ability to buy bands makes it perfect. The only problem is those little issues like response r a huge con. Looks over performance. I’m trying the s24 ultra cause iPhone is so boring but I’m hoping Samsung nails it.
I been rocking the gw6c since release date..no lagging whatsoever fully responsive and fast even when i dont use it for a 2hile like u said....battery life is no concern to me as i charge all my electronics when i sleep anyway....but i get about 1 to 2 days of battery life depending how much i use it....overall happy with my purchase.
I own a GW6, and it's suggested that after 3 days of the watch learning process, you will get better battery usage. i've got a maximum of 2 days to a day and a half of use, depending on my usage.
Interesting video and justifies my purchase of GW6C even more. Paid £280 for it, compared to an £800 watch i can deal with a small amount of stutter, not that I've experienced that yet as I'm only on day 3. Google assistant, Google wallet and reverse wireless charging make it a better device than using bixby and samsung wallet. paired with my s22 ultra using modes to change settings including notifications and even watch face and wallpapers when i do into the office that look more "professional", it suits my needs perfectly
All the Galaxy watch sixes in the first week battery doesn't seem like it last quite as long but it gets better because your device is actually monitoring your usage so it actually gets better in time.
One suggestion i have is with the watch face used. Impact of screen power usage with white vs darker color on OLED is huge. It's literally the first thing i do with any oled device regardless of the device type/battery size
You guys are so funny. Love the comparison between a 800+ watch with a watch costing about 400 and figuring out the pricy one has some advantages ... nice . Also the galaxy has better screen. And I am a apple watch user for years, they are not always responsive and they do have bugs sometimes here and there. Also way better way to interact with the bezel rather than the crown. And in the apple watches with the same price there is no sapphire crystal
I really would've loved a heartrate accuracy between the two. I know apple watches are very accuracy. But I would've loved to see how they compare to one another and how far the watch 6 differs
I know MKHB did a 1000 step comparison with an apple watch, galaxy watch, and Garmin watch and the galaxy was off by like 10 steps, the apple like 30 and garmin around 20 so they are pretty accurate. And if you use the same device then even if they are not accurate you can still see if you are progressing in steps/exercise or not
The apple watch ultra isn't nearly twice as expensive as the samsung watch. It's significantly more than twice as expensive as the galaxy watch 6. And add to that, samsung often bundles a galaxy watch for free if one buys the ultra series phone on the launch date. Plus samsung watches often receive huge discounts. I recently bought a galaxy watch 6 for 20k INR with a massive discount from samsung store, which is like 240 usd. So, in India - the Apple watch ultra is 4X the price !! I do agree that the ultra is overall a better device but the value to cost ratio is far better for galaxy watch
it has, theres a bunch of inconsistencies within this video, the gw6 needs time to adjust to your patterns to get better battery life, i can say it lasts longer than all my friends with apple watch ultras.
Why didn't you mention BMI on the Galaxy watch, which is extremely important for fitness. Blood pressure monitoring is also available on the Galaxy watch. Both are missing on the apple watch.
Nothing. You should be comparing the 5 pro to the fruit watch. Not the 6 classic. The watch 6 pro will be released this year. You seem not to realize that the Samsung pro version is a separate release. The 6 classic didn't replace it. Fail on your part. The 5 pro is the better watch.
I have the Pixel watch, Galaxy classic 6, galaxy watch 5 pro and the Ticwatch 5 Pro and the Ticwatch is smoother and way faster than any of my other watches. You should try it. Thanks for the video!
Man your comparing a $340 watch vs a $800 watch. Which is nearly 3x the price. Thats basically comparing my custom high end pc to a "custom prebuild" at a electronic store. Would be much better if you go with a non ultra with similar pricing.
Pretty much all the ultra features are the same on the regular models. My point though was to try and compare the 'best' apple watch with the best android watch, even though it may not be a fair comparison, I'm still amazed that not a single android watch is as fluid as a basic apple watch se !
The problem for the new Galaxy watches is Samsung's switch to Wear OS vs sticking with Tizen. Tizen was far more battery efficient. I wish Samsung had stuck with it.
I've just purchased the 47MM 6 Classic, with LTE and unlimited data to compliment my Garmin Fenix 6X Pro. It would have been nice if Samsung made a 50MM watch, but 47 will do. Being fair to my Fenix, its health monitoring features are very accurate when compared to my non watch health gear. The sleep and respiration data is phenomenal on the Fenix.
btw the battery life on regular Apple Watch series 8 or 9 is hardly even 20 hrs, and their build is of Aluminium and regular glass which comes for the same price (Samsung GW 6 Classic).
Despite all the small differences, I personally cannot overlook 2 things and both of these come down to more of a personal choice. 1) The Galaxy watch is a LOT less money, especially on the second hand market. 2) I am a guy, and I am old. I prefer a circular watch face over a square watch face. Again, this is just me. For the small differences between the two, I just simply cannot overlook these
Returned the Watch Ultra for these reasons 1) Sound is very hard to hear when running compared to the WC6 which is louder 2) Cant turn off NFC on AWU 3) Google Assistant is better than Siri 4) AWU2 i couldn't sleep wearing it way to heavy 5) Cheaper to download apps 6) Text too small to read and takes too long to find the information on AWU2 7) £800 not worth the money, £400 for Samsung incredible watch Apple Watch looks better
I am not an apple guy and gave up on smart watches, and went back to a real watch with real hands, the apple watch beats everything out there by a long way. Anyway as I said gave up on smart watches, Less is more I say. Prefer sleep tracking with my Oura. To many these days these watches have become an obsession and worry about the results they get so prefer none and enjoy my walks better without one. Also a solar citizen eco watch and Casio solar, never needs charging and never needs a new battery, whereas all these smart watches the batteries do hold less and less charge in time, so become useless
I'm not quite sure what you're talking about with the Galaxy watch battery and its laggy performance. My battery doesn't drain half as much as what you say yours does and my performance is not laggy at all, it's very responsive. I can't say it's better than the Apple watch because I honestly have never used an apple watch, but it's definitely not as bad as you say it is.
...because of... ..."ecosystem" 😅 Great comparison, Pete! have the same reason why my galaxy watch has not been upgraded from a 4 classic, and I'm wearing a watch ultra as an everyday watch and special long weekend trips.
I completely 100% agree with everything mentioned in this video especially the part about how this is the 6th generation smartwatch for Samsung. They should be as fast, smooth, and responsive as the Apple Watch. That’s why I haven’t been able to fully commit to Samsung. One last thing, the call quality on the Galaxy Watch was better.
to be fair hes testing a 400 dollar watch, to a 800 dollar one, samsung has the 5 pro available, for 429 and they alternate between classic and pro every year( 2024- 7, and 7 pro, 2025, 8 and 8 classic.)
The watch is in learning mode for a few days, it speeds up as it learns. It also add much more time. Mines is close to 4 days and i've had it 2 weeks. You may have to change settings which the watch then learns as well, but every time i charge it my battery life been increased.
@beslimani6174 you have to reduce the apps running in the background. It impedes the enjoyment and interferes with the reason you bought it in the first place but greatly improves the time. There are videos that help you increase the watch time.
I mean if you picked a darker watch face on the Galaxy watch it would probably last longer like most of the screen on the Apple watch is black but on the Galaxy watch it's literally all white not a fair comparison
Great video I got to say you have to retest the Samsung watch after the update. I am now getting two days on LTE but three months ago It was really horrible even though they did fix things with the update I’m still getting away from both Apple and Samsung, smartwatches and going Garmin.
1. Exynos is always a problem. The only variable over the generations has been how much worse they have been than the SnapDragons. IMO the ONLY thing that makes the Watch 6 inferior in almost every respect is the processor. If the Exynos ran functionally the same code as Apple's, you would probably need a time machine to do this review. There is only so much code you can run and keep it still usable. 2. The Samsung watches seem to sell for ~1/3 less than their list price. My guess is for many, it's the Samsung watch or no watch. It isn't so much that people can't afford the Apple watch. The issue is it simply cannot bring that level of value to more than a very few. 3. The phone is the main attraction. The tail doesn't wag the dog. Samsung has been forcing Apple more and more to compete on price. With the release of the S24 Ultra, Samsung hit it so far out of the park that it is unlikely that Apple can do more than throw up smoke to convince their base that the closing of the gap that they have been seeing over time and now blowing past them is a temporary situation and that they have something that will leap-frog it "real soon" while they scramble. Samsung added to that earthquake an aftershock with their discounts and amazing trade-in allowances, together which become Apple's new bar. A disproportionate percentage of Apple's user base are those who want the best or those trying to make a statement. Their thoughts revolve more around their image which is driven by the voices they listen to, which have also been shaken. They are also more likely to be on post-pay contracts where a new phone every couple years is part of that price. Any ding to Apple's status also will have a disproportionate impact on whether or not their next phone is an iPhone, which in turn impacts infrastructure and accessory sales. Tied to those is a reduction of Apple's ability to lock people into their non-industry standard technologies that prevent competition, and their power to restrict 3rd-party parts and repairs. This is a critical time for Apple from a competitor who sells far more phones than they do, and a key contributor to Android. Until just a year or so ago, Apple was eating into Android's user base. What you have made clear to me is Android needs a real watch if the Watch 6 is the best there is. This review agrees with the others. Samsung needs to address that before Google does otherwise they will lose a lot of sales to the somewhat inferior Pixel. Either way, none of this works to Apple's advantage.
I think the performance comes down to the software on the galaxy watch 6, my galaxy watch 4 classic feels like it's a generation ahead of my brother's watch 6 in terms of responsiveness. I think Samsung just needs some time to optimise the watch 6 because it definitely has a better processor than my watch 4 classic.
Just because you pay more for a watch doesn't mean it's better my first smart watch galaxy watch 6 classic 47mm works perfectly for 3 weeks no lag what so ever everything just works as it supposed to apple just over charges for everything as usual...
After having owned an S23 and Galaxy 6 classic for five months, I’m switching back to Apple. The battery life on the 47mm is just garbage. You have to put it on power saver mode to hopefully get it to last a day and then you lose features when doing so. Something that doesn’t happen with an Apple Watch and I’m using the SE version. The Apple Watch syncs up better with the phone when getting notifications or pretty much doing anything. The galaxy only has 16 GB of memory while the Apple has has 32 GB. So you won’t run out of room adding music or apps. with the S 23, I’m waiting for it to get back from repairs. Once again, it’s only five months old. A problem I don’t have with Apple.
Have both. Agree completely with these findings. Performance is janky on the GW6C but wow is it a fantastic looking watch and the rotating bezel is far nicer to use than the digital crown. Also, the Galaxy phones can reverse-charge the GW, which is handy in a pinch.
Agreed about the chip. The gestures are what I've learned to really enjoy. It gets confusing but a fun little perk. Maybe next year they'll step up the performance. I'll always be a samsung guy over the rotting apple.
I bought the samsung watch with the s24 ultra for 191$ CA compare to the 1100$ + tax CA for the Ultra, for me its a no brainer, price to value of the watch 6 is just insane compare to the high price of the Ultra
I've never experienced sluggish performance on my Galaxy Watch 6 Classic, or prior Watch 4 for that matter. And Google Assistant works like a charm for me. So I guess Watch 6 wins 8-5 for me?
nice comparison, but you did not mention so many things : 1) all the health features that are running during night in the Galaxy , like blood oxygen , body temprature and more more . 2) you did not mention that are many features in Galaxy is not found in Apple watch like controlling other devices from your wrist . like my TV , lights and even my curtains at home 3) you did not mention that the OS of the Galaxy is open to the play store and many stuff can be installed from their like google maps navigation and many other important apps . 4) you did not mention that i can download any MP3 media and just share to the watch very easily and leave telephone at home , no need for itunes or any other complicated softwares . 5) you did not mention browsing options via galaxy and so many more stuff that apple watch can not do . in my opinion apple watch is nice , over prices , paying lot of money for this apple logo. effective wise , galaxy much more fun , easy , and usefullllll.
I just made the switch from apple to samsung. When it comes to phone vs phone alone I kinda like the android better. But when your talking about full ecosystems, as in using the phone, watch, voice assistant all together.. apple absolutely blows it out of the water.
Im actually confused why people galaxy watch just last them around 1 day half mine always last me for 3 and half sometimes 4 days ( except for the first 3days weirdly enough its like its updating and consuming more battery maybe because its pairing up or body checking me idk )
@@joshuap2574 yeah. Just certain things. It's just not as fast as they should be. I'm also being kind of picky. It's just the 6th gen already. If they want to take over the Android watch market just charge 50.00 more and give us a better processor. Or make a Ultra version. What's your opinion?
great video, couple things....I have noticed zero issues with performance of my Watch 6 Classic and with 500 to 600 more nits on the samsung, it should have won that "battle".
To Mr Pete : have you ever did a bump test on both watches ⌚️ and a sound test with alot of ppls say like at a football game or test it while inside the tunnel on the train 🚇 ⌚️👂🏽 do you see how close you have to put your ear to both watches and on the GW 6 classic 47mm when someone calls you and you press the Loud🔈👈🏾 speaker it's doesn't respond quick enough like on your Samsung phone does these are the things that Samsung needs to test out before putting it out on the market for the hole world to used that's just my opinion
I have the WC6, and been an android user for ever. i do think the Ultra 2 looks better but at £800 and then it requires an apple phone as well doesn't make it feasible to switch over. Despite Samsungs claim about the battery I have found it needs charging every day with screen brightness on max, and i have found only 1 decent watch face that doesn't black out when on battery save. I use barometer, blood pressure, heart rate, running, gps and find it works really well for me.
When it comes to the ecosystem it's the system that syncs with the most OSs (Android smartphones up to 80% + iPhones...). I use Amazfit 7 & with almost 2 weeks battery it does all/most of what I/you need.
The fact that the standard/classic galaxy watch keeps up with the ultra is the reason why I choose samsung if you were to compare the apple watch 9 to the galaxy watch 6 the 6 just kills it
I have watch 6 and apple watch 8. The battery is almost similar but when I dont have the watch on, galaxy watch still drains battery bit apple watch doesnt.
I wonder what samsung is going to come out for a ultra version of their galaxy watch. Be cool if the came out with a ultra version with a bendable screen they did years back.
Just got my Galaxy Watch 6 and been using it since a week. Never ever noticed the lag once. So people reading my comment, go for it lol. Apple watch is made as a joke or FU by apple at that price when there are better options in the market. Also The Galaxy Watch 6 looks like a watch instead of looking like a baby calculator watch (Apple) and it has peak skin temperature(which apple does not) during sleep that has been really useful for me for improving sleep quality.
2:50 I love my galaxy watch classic but Samsung has to fix the fluidity of the software compared to the series 7 I had it is very laggy in that sense. Hopefully they smooth it out like one ui 6.1 or bring 90hz on the watch 7 classic!
I don't get it though. I had the Watch 6 Classic for a week, loved it, but returned it because I've had the Watch 4 regular for 1.5 years and it's easier for me to use at the gym. I've had the Watch 6 44mm for 4 full days now and have had absolutely no issues with it. It's fast, smooth, the battery is amazing. I took my watch off the charger today at 10:14AM. It's now 8:21PM and my watch is at 81%. This is with AOD on, continuous heart rate measurement and all that. The Watch 6 Classic I had for a week was also absolutely terrific on battery. I got 44 hours out of my 44mm Watch 6 after 2 nights of sleep tracking, plus two long workouts and short walks with GPS enabled. I don't get it tbh.
It's affected both of the watches I've got here, and other friends who have one. Very odd! Battery life can depend on so much, but still odd they went from great battery life in the watch 5 Pro back to less in the 6
@@PeteMatheson what is the rational Samsung could possibly have for that? They know battery life is a big subject and taking a step backwards is mind-boggling. Who makes decisions like this?? Are they trying to NOT sell them?

Samsung, PLEASE make a rectangular watch. In 1890, watches had physical hands that turned in circles. Circular watches made sense. In 2024, the primary function of smartwaches is to display text. Circular watches make no sense. Samsung, you understood this 10 years ago. You made the Galaxy Gear S, the most beautiful smartwatch in history. Please go back to your roots!
The battery life on newer smart watches doesnt make sense to me, i havnt used a smart watch since the galaxy gear 3 (and it was a few years old by the time i got it, since it was originally my moms) and i only had to charge that thing like once a week
İ also moving from apple to Android. One have to use and android wanna use . Especially when apple tells the world beats studio buds has spatial audio when it actually doesn't , try to replace it . After 7 calls to apple they removed all the statements from apple site, and told me they cannot do anything about it , sorry . But apple forgot to remove it from beats site .. so disappointed with apple

And I am a apple watch user for years, they are not always responsive and they do have bugs sometimes here and there. Also way better way to interact with the bezel rather than the crown. And in the apple watches with the same price there is no sapphire crystal
For twice the price i'd expect it to be twice as nice overall. But it certainly isn't.
@@StevenGarnsky well that's true.
@@StevenGarnsky law of diminishing returns I guess
@@StevenGarnsky It is in my opinion. Ive had both and stuck with the ultra.
also for 400.00 the 6Classic has stainless steel. and a temp sensor.
I really would've loved a heartrate accuracy between the two. I know apple watches are very accuracy. But I would've loved to see how they compare to one another and how far the watch 6 differs
Idk about the apple watch but I've compared the W6C to my Huawei watch and the HRA readings are identical
I know MKHB did a 1000 step comparison with an apple watch, galaxy watch, and Garmin watch and the galaxy was off by like 10 steps, the apple like 30 and garmin around 20 so they are pretty accurate. And if you use the same device then even if they are not accurate you can still see if you are progressing in steps/exercise or not
to fix the google assistant problem, which i also had, u have to reset the watch, and set it up on the same account that u set the Samsung account on.
how about starting test at the same percentage of battery on both watches
Yea bro
@@si12volt1 right!!!! FACTS 💯
I have a 44mm galaxy watch 6 and I wore mine around 36 hours and I still had over 20% battery life
The apple watch ultra isn't nearly twice as expensive as the samsung watch.
It's significantly more than twice as expensive as the galaxy watch 6. And add to that, samsung often bundles a galaxy watch for free if one buys the ultra series phone on the launch date. Plus samsung watches often receive huge discounts. I recently bought a galaxy watch 6 for 20k INR with a massive discount from samsung store, which is like 240 usd. So, in India - the Apple watch ultra is 4X the price !!
I do agree that the ultra is overall a better device but the value to cost ratio is far better for galaxy watch
12:39 I feel like it's already more than twice
is it possible that future updates on Galaxy Watch6 make things proper?
it has, theres a bunch of inconsistencies within this video, the gw6 needs time to adjust to your patterns to get better battery life, i can say it lasts longer than all my friends with apple watch ultras.
Yes.. with the latest updates I've found the W6C sensors (sleep tracking) to be more precise.. and the watch more stable overall
What is your favourite thing about the Apple Watch? Or is there a better Smart Watch out there?
Why didn't you mention BMI on the Galaxy watch, which is extremely important for fitness. Blood pressure monitoring is also available on the Galaxy watch.
Both are missing on the apple watch.
I love galaxy watch
Nothing. You should be comparing the 5 pro to the fruit watch. Not the 6 classic. The watch 6 pro will be released this year.
You seem not to realize that the Samsung pro version is a separate release. The 6 classic didn't replace it. Fail on your part.
The 5 pro is the better watch.
Apple Watch Ultra
Nothing like Watch6 Pro dude, the Classic has replaced the Pro. I wonder where you got your false hopes from@@chelious1973
I have the Pixel watch, Galaxy classic 6, galaxy watch 5 pro and the Ticwatch 5 Pro and the Ticwatch is smoother and way faster than any of my other watches. You should try it. Thanks for the video!
Agree!
I have a watch 6 and the responsiveness is great
Yeah I went into developers mode and turned all the animations from 1x to off. Super snappy responsiveness
I used both, perhaps you should have tried with a different watch face on the Samsung. I never experienced this kind of lag on it.
Man your comparing a $340 watch vs a $800 watch. Which is nearly 3x the price. Thats basically comparing my custom high end pc to a "custom prebuild" at a electronic store. Would be much better if you go with a non ultra with similar pricing.
Pretty much all the ultra features are the same on the regular models.
My point though was to try and compare the 'best' apple watch with the best android watch, even though it may not be a fair comparison, I'm still amazed that not a single android watch is as fluid as a basic apple watch se !
The problem for the new Galaxy watches is Samsung's switch to Wear OS vs sticking with Tizen. Tizen was far more battery efficient. I wish Samsung had stuck with it.
fax tizen on top
This. I still have a Gear S3 Frontier that i would rock once in a while and it's just better. Also own Watch 4 and Watch 6 Classic
I've just purchased the 47MM 6 Classic, with LTE and unlimited data to compliment my Garmin Fenix 6X Pro. It would have been nice if Samsung made a 50MM watch, but 47 will do. Being fair to my Fenix, its health monitoring features are very accurate when compared to my non watch health gear. The sleep and respiration data is phenomenal on the Fenix.
btw the battery life on regular Apple Watch series 8 or 9 is hardly even 20 hrs, and their build is of Aluminium and regular glass which comes for the same price (Samsung GW 6 Classic).
Despite all the small differences, I personally cannot overlook 2 things and both of these come down to more of a personal choice.
1) The Galaxy watch is a LOT less money, especially on the second hand market.
2) I am a guy, and I am old. I prefer a circular watch face over a square watch face. Again, this is just me.
For the small differences between the two, I just simply cannot overlook these
Also the price of ultra is almost double of samsung watch 6
Just a tiny remark: Forgot to mention Apple is twice the price.
He montins it but you have to watch the video
Returned the Watch Ultra for these reasons
1) Sound is very hard to hear when running compared to the WC6 which is louder
2) Cant turn off NFC on AWU
3) Google Assistant is better than Siri
4) AWU2 i couldn't sleep wearing it way to heavy
5) Cheaper to download apps
6) Text too small to read and takes too long to find the information on AWU2
7) £800 not worth the money, £400 for Samsung incredible watch
Apple Watch looks better
I am not an apple guy and gave up on smart watches, and went back to a real watch with real hands, the apple watch beats everything out there by a long way. Anyway as I said gave up on smart watches, Less is more I say. Prefer sleep tracking with my Oura. To many these days these watches have become an obsession and worry about the results they get so prefer none and enjoy my walks better without one. Also a solar citizen eco watch and Casio solar, never needs charging and never needs a new battery, whereas all these smart watches the batteries do hold less and less charge in time, so become useless
My GW6 classic 47 mm uses like 6-7% of battery over night, maybe 9% max happened once in 10 days that i have it.
Battery usage on samsung watches isnt optimised until you have had the watch for some time. When it learns your general patterns it uses much less
I have the 6 Classic and I have noticed once or twice it had a hickup but the rest of the time it works very well. I am very pleased with mine.
Galaxy Watch lags when you do a reset. My GW6 was snappy and smooth until I did a reset. Now the UI is a bit jittery
I'm not quite sure what you're talking about with the Galaxy watch battery and its laggy performance. My battery doesn't drain half as much as what you say yours does and my performance is not laggy at all, it's very responsive. I can't say it's better than the Apple watch because I honestly have never used an apple watch, but it's definitely not as bad as you say it is.
...because of...
..."ecosystem" 😅
Great comparison, Pete!
have the same reason why my galaxy watch has not been upgraded from a 4 classic, and I'm wearing a watch ultra as an everyday watch and special long weekend trips.
I completely 100% agree with everything mentioned in this video especially the part about how this is the 6th generation smartwatch for Samsung. They should be as fast, smooth, and responsive as the Apple Watch. That’s why I haven’t been able to fully commit to Samsung. One last thing, the call quality on the Galaxy Watch was better.
to be fair hes testing a 400 dollar watch, to a 800 dollar one, samsung has the 5 pro available, for 429 and they alternate between classic and pro every year( 2024- 7, and 7 pro, 2025, 8 and 8 classic.)
The watch is in learning mode for a few days, it speeds up as it learns. It also add much more time. Mines is close to 4 days and i've had it 2 weeks. You may have to change settings which the watch then learns as well, but every time i charge it my battery life been increased.
Use it with daily 10.000 steps and 20 km indoor cycling workout with GPS. It's empty before u know it..
@@Tha-King-Arthur yeah!
I don't do that 😆
Really though, I only use things like that occasionally. I don't like charging.
Idk how that's possible. I got a 6 classic 47 mm (bt) and it barely lasts 40 hours
@beslimani6174 you have to reduce the apps running in the background. It impedes the enjoyment and interferes with the reason you bought it in the first place but greatly improves the time.
There are videos that help you increase the watch time.
I mean if you picked a darker watch face on the Galaxy watch it would probably last longer like most of the screen on the Apple watch is black but on the Galaxy watch it's literally all white not a fair comparison
Why have you missed body composition feature on galaxy watch ....
Great video I got to say you have to retest the Samsung watch after the update. I am now getting two days on LTE but three months ago It was really horrible even though they did fix things with the update I’m still getting away from both Apple and Samsung, smartwatches and going Garmin.
But the price of the watch ultra is too high as compared to the Galaxy Watch 6 classic.
Great content. Just wait till the watch 7 ultra comes out.
can't wait!
1. Exynos is always a problem. The only variable over the generations has been how much worse they have been than the SnapDragons. IMO the ONLY thing that makes the Watch 6 inferior in almost every respect is the processor. If the Exynos ran functionally the same code as Apple's, you would probably need a time machine to do this review. There is only so much code you can run and keep it still usable.
2. The Samsung watches seem to sell for ~1/3 less than their list price. My guess is for many, it's the Samsung watch or no watch. It isn't so much that people can't afford the Apple watch. The issue is it simply cannot bring that level of value to more than a very few.
3. The phone is the main attraction. The tail doesn't wag the dog. Samsung has been forcing Apple more and more to compete on price. With the release of the S24 Ultra, Samsung hit it so far out of the park that it is unlikely that Apple can do more than throw up smoke to convince their base that the closing of the gap that they have been seeing over time and now blowing past them is a temporary situation and that they have something that will leap-frog it "real soon" while they scramble. Samsung added to that earthquake an aftershock with their discounts and amazing trade-in allowances, together which become Apple's new bar. A disproportionate percentage of Apple's user base are those who want the best or those trying to make a statement. Their thoughts revolve more around their image which is driven by the voices they listen to, which have also been shaken. They are also more likely to be on post-pay contracts where a new phone every couple years is part of that price. Any ding to Apple's status also will have a disproportionate impact on whether or not their next phone is an iPhone, which in turn impacts infrastructure and accessory sales. Tied to those is a reduction of Apple's ability to lock people into their non-industry standard technologies that prevent competition, and their power to restrict 3rd-party parts and repairs. This is a critical time for Apple from a competitor who sells far more phones than they do, and a key contributor to Android. Until just a year or so ago, Apple was eating into Android's user base.
What you have made clear to me is Android needs a real watch if the Watch 6 is the best there is. This review agrees with the others. Samsung needs to address that before Google does otherwise they will lose a lot of sales to the somewhat inferior Pixel. Either way, none of this works to Apple's advantage.
I think the performance comes down to the software on the galaxy watch 6, my galaxy watch 4 classic feels like it's a generation ahead of my brother's watch 6 in terms of responsiveness. I think Samsung just needs some time to optimise the watch 6 because it definitely has a better processor than my watch 4 classic.
how accurate are the altimeter on both watches?
Just because you pay more for a watch doesn't mean it's better my first smart watch galaxy watch 6 classic 47mm works perfectly for 3 weeks no lag what so ever everything just works as it supposed to apple just over charges for everything as usual...
bro is paid by apple
Actually apple watch is better i think your comment is paid by samsung
@@Protitoiy actually i think apple watch isn't and your comment is paid by Apple
@@Coal_XVII Actually yours is because apple actually have better specs in smartwatch even the sensors are better
@@Coal_XVII one is $300-400 and the other is $800. Not really fair when it comes to cost. 😅 Yet they both support their own ecosystem
@@Protitoiy bro stop glazing apple
After having owned an S23 and Galaxy 6 classic for five months, I’m switching back to Apple. The battery life on the 47mm is just garbage. You have to put it on power saver mode to hopefully get it to last a day and then you lose features when doing so. Something that doesn’t happen with an Apple Watch and I’m using the SE version.
The Apple Watch syncs up better with the phone when getting notifications or pretty much doing anything. The galaxy only has 16 GB of memory while the Apple has has 32 GB. So you won’t run out of room adding music or apps. with the S 23, I’m waiting for it to get back from repairs. Once again, it’s only five months old. A problem I don’t have with Apple.
i checked apples website and they say the watch SE only last 18 hours, that would be worse then the samsung watch right?
Have both. Agree completely with these findings. Performance is janky on the GW6C but wow is it a fantastic looking watch and the rotating bezel is far nicer to use than the digital crown. Also, the Galaxy phones can reverse-charge the GW, which is handy in a pinch.
Did you let the Galaxy learn your usage before the battery test?
Ouch, when you said Exynos cpu I knew instantly where it was going. It's like putting a Celeron cpu in your desktop computer.
Agreed about the chip. The gestures are what I've learned to really enjoy. It gets confusing but a fun little perk. Maybe next year they'll step up the performance. I'll always be a samsung guy over the rotting apple.
I bought the samsung watch with the s24 ultra for 191$ CA compare to the 1100$ + tax CA for the Ultra, for me its a no brainer, price to value of the watch 6 is just insane compare to the high price of the Ultra
you still can't play music directly from your apple watch without headphones... 😂
Doesn't the Galaxy Watch have a titanium version?
Android has routines, and Apple has shortcuts…
I've never experienced sluggish performance on my Galaxy Watch 6 Classic, or prior Watch 4 for that matter. And Google Assistant works like a charm for me. So I guess Watch 6 wins 8-5 for me?
nice comparison, but you did not mention so many things :
1) all the health features that are running during night in the Galaxy , like blood oxygen , body temprature and more more .
2) you did not mention that are many features in Galaxy is not found in Apple watch like controlling other devices from your wrist . like my TV , lights and even my curtains at home
3) you did not mention that the OS of the Galaxy is open to the play store and many stuff can be installed from their like google maps navigation and many other important apps .
4) you did not mention that i can download any MP3 media and just share to the watch very easily and leave telephone at home , no need for itunes or any other complicated softwares .
5) you did not mention browsing options via galaxy and so many more stuff that apple watch can not do .
in my opinion apple watch is nice , over prices , paying lot of money for this apple logo. effective wise , galaxy much more fun , easy , and usefullllll.
Yeah, I bought galaxy watch classic 6, it does lag, to wake it up, I have to wait for few seconds, sometimes scrolling lags
What's the watch face you use for the Galaxy watch 6
I just made the switch from apple to samsung. When it comes to phone vs phone alone I kinda like the android better. But when your talking about full ecosystems, as in using the phone, watch, voice assistant all together.. apple absolutely blows it out of the water.
Im actually confused why people galaxy watch just last them around 1 day half mine always last me for 3 and half sometimes 4 days ( except for the first 3days weirdly enough its like its updating and consuming more battery maybe because its pairing up or body checking me idk )
I have a watch 6 classic 47 mm (BT) and it barely lasts for 40A hours
The on-screen timer is an awesome idea! 👌
That watch face on the GW6 in the thumbnail looks great. What is it called?
Great job
I have to admit. I wish my watch6 classic was more responsive. That's my biggest and almost only gripe with it.
Have you went into dev options and decreased the delay time to 0.5?
@@joshuap2574 yeah. Just certain things. It's just not as fast as they should be. I'm also being kind of picky. It's just the 6th gen already. If they want to take over the Android watch market just charge 50.00 more and give us a better processor. Or make a Ultra version. What's your opinion?
That's why i bought the 5 pro.. The 6 versions are way too laggy for me.@@4000marcdman
great video, couple things....I have noticed zero issues with performance of my Watch 6 Classic and with 500 to 600 more nits on the samsung, it should have won that "battle".
Don't both these watches have Spotify on LTE?
lol how can you compare a watch that costs £399 to the ultra which is £650 ???
Because he's comparing the top of the line offering from Apple and Samsung......
To Mr Pete : have you ever did a bump test on both watches ⌚️ and a sound test with alot of ppls say like at a football game or test it while inside the tunnel on the train 🚇 ⌚️👂🏽 do you see how close you have to put your ear to both watches and on the GW 6 classic 47mm when someone calls you and you press the Loud🔈👈🏾 speaker it's doesn't respond quick enough like on your Samsung phone does these are the things that Samsung needs to test out before putting it out on the market for the hole world to used that's just my opinion
I have the WC6, and been an android user for ever. i do think the Ultra 2 looks better but at £800 and then it requires an apple phone as well doesn't make it feasible to switch over. Despite Samsungs claim about the battery I have found it needs charging every day with screen brightness on max, and i have found only 1 decent watch face that doesn't black out when on battery save. I use barometer, blood pressure, heart rate, running, gps and find it works really well for me.
When it comes to the ecosystem it's the system that syncs with the most OSs (Android smartphones up to 80% + iPhones...).
I use Amazfit 7 & with almost 2 weeks battery it does all/most of what I/you need.
The fact that the standard/classic galaxy watch keeps up with the ultra is the reason why I choose samsung if you were to compare the apple watch 9 to the galaxy watch 6 the 6 just kills it
"Samsung pay is kinda catching up with Apple pay. Its a draw for wallet"
In my opinion, all apple products are overrated.
Thank you me personaly i hate apple i prefert samsung or other mark
I have both and I love them both. My Galaxy if not slow like yours
I have watch 6 and apple watch 8. The battery is almost similar but when I dont have the watch on, galaxy watch still drains battery bit apple watch doesnt.
I wonder what samsung is going to come out for a ultra version of their galaxy watch. Be cool if the came out with a ultra version with a bendable screen they did years back.
Stainless steel is strong enough.. titanium is pretty much unnecessary 😂😂😂😂
7:59 how do I set routines. I simply can't find this setting.
Do a comparison between Ultra vs watch 5 pro
I would like to see a comparison of a regular Apple watch versus the Google pixel 2 with the w5 chip. There is zero lag on a pixel watch 2
Just got my Galaxy Watch 6 and been using it since a week. Never ever noticed the lag once. So people reading my comment, go for it lol. Apple watch is made as a joke or FU by apple at that price when there are better options in the market. Also The Galaxy Watch 6 looks like a watch instead of looking like a baby calculator watch (Apple) and it has peak skin temperature(which apple does not) during sleep that has been really useful for me for improving sleep quality.
2:50 I love my galaxy watch classic but Samsung has to fix the fluidity of the software compared to the series 7 I had it is very laggy in that sense. Hopefully they smooth it out like one ui 6.1 or bring 90hz on the watch 7 classic!
Will the apple watch work with android if not I'll just get the 6 watch
Als je het aod uitzet gaat hij een stuk langer mee
What is the digital watch face for samsung ? It looks amazing 👏
The battery issues plaguing the Watch 6 and Classic are just unforgivable at this point, as well. Samsung needs to get their act together.
I don't get it though. I had the Watch 6 Classic for a week, loved it, but returned it because I've had the Watch 4 regular for 1.5 years and it's easier for me to use at the gym. I've had the Watch 6 44mm for 4 full days now and have had absolutely no issues with it. It's fast, smooth, the battery is amazing. I took my watch off the charger today at 10:14AM. It's now 8:21PM and my watch is at 81%. This is with AOD on, continuous heart rate measurement and all that. The Watch 6 Classic I had for a week was also absolutely terrific on battery. I got 44 hours out of my 44mm Watch 6 after 2 nights of sleep tracking, plus two long workouts and short walks with GPS enabled. I don't get it tbh.
It's affected both of the watches I've got here, and other friends who have one. Very odd!
Battery life can depend on so much, but still odd they went from great battery life in the watch 5 Pro back to less in the 6
@@PeteMatheson what is the rational Samsung could possibly have for that? They know battery life is a big subject and taking a step backwards is mind-boggling. Who makes decisions like this?? Are they trying to NOT sell them?
a near £300 difference what do you expect?
@@srbell67, Seems that's what Samsung are doing lately, as a Samsung user for a long time I change to apple ecosystem just because of the watch, I am living alone and need some kind of sensor to alert emergency personnel in case of emergency, I ordered the samsung watch 6 classic 47 LTE online it turn into nightmare, in Malaysia you can only buy the LTE version online, the store only sell the bluetooth version
Very clever comparison. No hurt feelings for both fans😂
The Samsung watch uses standard watch bands. I can even use the bands from by grandfather's watch. 7:45
Samsung, PLEASE make a rectangular watch.
In 1890, watches had physical hands that turned in circles. Circular watches made sense.
In 2024, the primary function of smartwaches is to display text. Circular watches make no sense.
Samsung, you understood this 10 years ago. You made the Galaxy Gear S, the most beautiful smartwatch in history. Please go back to your roots!
Shortcuts on iPhone can do the same things as routines in Samsung i think?
Unfortunately not. Samsungs shortcuts are way more powerful and can be triggered by so many more actions!
The battery life on newer smart watches doesnt make sense to me, i havnt used a smart watch since the galaxy gear 3 (and it was a few years old by the time i got it, since it was originally my moms) and i only had to charge that thing like once a week
İ also moving from apple to Android. One have to use and android wanna use . Especially when apple tells the world beats studio buds has spatial audio when it actually doesn't , try to replace it . After 7 calls to apple they removed all the statements from apple site, and told me they cannot do anything about it , sorry . But apple forgot to remove it from beats site .. so disappointed with apple
That sucks. I've never been a fan of the beats headphones, but their beats fit pro have been incredible for working out. Great ANC and audio quality, though no need for spacial audio. Spacial audio works so well on the max headphones 👌🏽
@@PeteMatheson Thank you Pete , I also had the Beats Pro until , I slept with it and then my dog ate it .
