i like the detail you put on this review rather than just repeating the manufacturer booklet
Lovd the video! I just bought the watch 6 as my first smartwatch to track runs and track my steps. It has now become an important part of my set up.
same
Late response - but I went back and fourth on buying this watch. I'm a natty bodybuilder, road cyclist and I'm a Torontonian as well. Essentially needed something for work, and to check my steps so I don't need to constantly grab my phone as I feel like it's taking over my life. It's because of this review I decided to buy it. Thanks man, it has improved my daily tasks/activities tremendously.
Right on!
NFC pincode step is in effort to eliminate hackers using NFC in your proximity, stealing your card info or charging your watch as you walk by them
@JSyntax there's the tap, double tap, triple tap, and ball your hand in a fist gesture under accessibility. That allows you to navigate around the watch, select items, go back a page, etc.
I tried it but I found it too clunky. I just wish we had apples new double tap on the hand gesture that they recently introduced. I find the wrist gesture to invoke my Google Assistant to not be very dependable or very clunky as well
Amazing review as always. And this came at the perfect time (pun) for me. Thanks for the upload man 🙌🏿
Loved your video review. I'm new to this watch and have a question of how do I review my step account for a day/date in the past week?
Thanks for such a thorough unbiased review. This is extremely useful information. Also love that you use the regular S23 like I do. We are in the minority but just love the size its not so heavy and clunky.
Glad it was helpful!
Missed your videos, great as always.
Thank you!
Thank you for this awesome review❤ It was really detailed with every information you need. I found this channel just a few weeks ago but i love it😅Keep going with your cool reviews! Also greetings from Germany thats why my english isn't that good😊
That was a really good review. Well done and thanks from Sunny Spain
Jealous of your weather
Can you tell where u buy the band? Especially the fabric one. Tq
just ordered the 47mm in silver. Can't wait!! I have small wrists too, but for me, the bigger the better. Great review!
Good choice!
Great video, i was vascillating between a 5 pro, 6 classic and the 6 44mm, however after this video i went into the store and compared sizes, and realised that the 40 mm, was a good choice..I have ordered my 40 mm, thank you for the informative video.
Hello!
It's been 2 months, how has your watch been?
I’ve had several Garmin watches and the Samsung watch 3. I’ve just bought the Samsung watch 6. Yours is a truly amazing video. I’ve learned so much. Thank you. I would encourage anyone to watch your channel. Now that I have discovered your channel, I’m looking for the next production from you.
Excellent review! I enjoyed it!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Galaxy watch 5, thought eating pasta for 10 minutes, is sleeping.,... and got 16minutes of deepsleep
Yeah the sleep tracking sucks. But when I had the Active 2 it was pretty accurate and also then Samsung let you edit the sleep times.
Damn guess it was sleepy pasta 😅 ..... I'll just head out
@@barronthagod nah you can stay, that was a good one😂
😅😂
Maybe ur wife added sleeping pills in the pasta
thanks for a great in depth review. very helpful
Glad it was helpful!
Hi there I really need to know can the watch classic 6 broadcast its heart rate to another machine like a exercise bike etc?
That workout tracker is no nonsense and I'd love that
hi i really enjoyed the video. could you please tell me which watch face you are using please. thanks in advance.
Very good review, Thank you for taking the time to review!
I bought the classic 4 and I love it. Coming from only Fitbit
Good review thanks
Nice review. Went with a Watch 5 pro refurbished for 175 and very happy with everything so far. Thanks for the info.
I was going to get it because i was scared of waterproofing and non oem band and charger
Great review. I didn't see the link for the brick
great review !!!! so good
Great video man!! Keep them coming.
Than you!
Love my watch 6 pro. Like you I have sleep apnea and I credit my watch trigger me to schedule a sleep study. I started to see my oxygen level drop into the 80's and some nights even into the high 70's and the snoring app was capturing heavy snoring. Since starting CPAP therapy my SoP rarely drops below 91.
Amazing! It's great
Thanks for the video, man! Very informative! I have just one question: do you use some scream or case protector on your watch?
None
Very good, well thought out, detailed, useful info review. I thought the camera function was gimmicky but this is the first explanation I’ve seen for using it to frame shots for youtube videos. Seems like a great idea. I think maybe the larger classic model would be even more useful in that use-case. BTW, I have the s23 plus. Possibly smaller minority than s23 owners.
Thank you! Yes agreed
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
I have the Galaxy watch 6 classic 47 mm, I love it it's not too big it's not too heavy I have a small wrist, the small/medium watch band fits for me.
new subscriber, love your style of video making, professional yet still being personal. may you find great success with this channel!!
Thank you so much!
You mention that description has links to the charging stand, but there are no links in the description except for the watch on Amazon.
Do you have an opinion about durability? I have a versa 2 right now and it is VERY durable and would like a smartwatch that has that level of durability and size.
Hi I have watched your video GREAT. You do mention your phone is away from you when U work out. l find my watch alarms me that it is not connected Even if I just go out to the garden .there for how can the info be transfered to your watch when you get home.
This is one of the most impressive and detailed reviews I have seen for a product of any type. A++ Well done!
Wow, thanks!
How do you set up the wireless charging between the watch 6 ⌚ and the Samsung galaxy phones
Such a great video, many thanks!
I enjoy watching your videos. Your voice is soothing and you seem very natural when you talk about tech. ❤
Wow thank you!
I would love to have the same health data capabilities as I had with my fitbit. I liked seeing my previous week's or months data on calories in vs. Calories out. If you build a smart interface that will do it similar to my pervious fitbit, please let me know. Thanks!
Great review! Thanks man for reviewing it. I learned a lot about watch 6. And I also used the white S/M fabric band and it's extremely comfortable.
The fabric band is so comfortable I love it
The link to buy the small watch stand you describe at minute 8:03 is not in the description as you state. Please let me know where to find the stand. Thanks. Great video..
Thanks for reminding me I'll update the link
Is Fitbit inspire 3 accurate in terms of HR?
Greatest video ever about the Watch6. Very well detailed. Congratulations!
Wow that's a nice compliment
Loved the video! Very good in depth review! ❤
great video. Thank you for the time you took to put it out 🙌
I have to enter a pin code when using Samsung wallet on my phone, either that or my finger print. Am I doing something wrong?
Excellent and very informative video. This answered a lot of questions I had about this smartwatch that were specific to my personal needs.
Bro, best review so far, information and delivery were great, thanks.
Thank you!
The green strap on the thumbnail, is that a Samsung official strap ? Looks great & looking to buy one...
Very informative vid thanks!
What about wrist bands sizes like for large wrists?
Wow! Such a complete review! Thanks for sharing with us your experience with the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6. Personally, I have a better idea of which model should I get.
Glad it was helpful!
Which one are you going to buy
@@JSyntax I'm going for the Watch 6 Classic in black 🙃. Just hoping the one I got comes without a defective strap. In other videos they also mentioned about that watch almost falling down from the wrist. So I guess this is a common issue.
wow, what a thorough review, well done.
It would have nice to see some information about what happens when you go out for a walk without the phone etc. But overall I really like your the details. I bought the same wrist you linked. Thank you!
Next time!
Did you ever come across not getting notifications on the pro 5 that they changed on the galaxy 6. I rarely get the notifications on my pro 5 so needing it to show up would be great on the 6
I fixed this issue by ensuring all the apps that I wanted notifications were enabled within the Galaxy where phone app you need to configure all of it such that these notifications explicitly appear on your watch
Yes, build this strength training app please!
That app idea would be awesome
How is the battery life for 4g lte version?
Good One. I bougth the regular watch 4 instead of Classic. But after changing the Haptic feedback and light weight option. Felt good. More over i am using this as to reduce distraction from Phone
Bathurst gym as on Bathurst in North York? Just curious cuz I used to live in Toronto and I got obsessed with maps growing up there
I cannot get the Blood Pressure App on my watch I have a Galaxy Pro 5 any help would be greatly appreciated
Love that you talked about the charger needing to be at least 15 watts as today I was looking for a dedicated charger for the watch, thank you.
Check the link!
@@JSyntaxI actually found a 15watt charger that only has a USB a port and luckily I have a USB c to USB a dongle. Just hope the dongle supports at least 15watts. Thank you for mentioning the link though!
What's the snoring app? I can't find it
Thanku so much for this review. And showing the 40mm on your wrist and explaining why you prefer it. And all the aspects of the watch. Don’t stop your videos!
The 44mm has way bigger battery and better screen size
On my fold 4 and 5 i use the adaptive brightness but you can set the slider to the brightness you want it to max out at with adaptive brightness switched on! I do this at night when in bed! I only found out this was a thing when actually turned my brightness down on my phone with the adaptive brightness on and it never got any brighter than what i had set it at and i have tried it on my 2022 edition tablet and works on that so give it try on your watch it might work
It doenst behave the same as the phone or tablet sadly. Not sure why
Is that a closed laptop on your desk powering your monitor? How do you set this up? In particular, how do you power it on and off while closed?
Open laptop,
Press the 'on' button,
Close the laptop,
Mission accomplished...
Shutting down is done on the OS.
Great review, love my GW6 too ❤
Thank you for the comprehensive review. I got this Watch 6 as a surprise grit from Samsung when I ordered my S23 Ultra. It came separately without a notice or an invoice ($0.00 email invoice). This review was very useful.
Dang thats a nice gift! Congrats!!
Whoa...random
Your video helped me to make a decision. Thank you!
Can you please share what your decision was
Lol
I would like to have a stand for my Samsung classic 6 watch . The charging cable is too short to plug in and reach my night stand so it charges on the floor.
Nice vid! Still using Galaxy Watch 3 classic...
The last one when u said the warch becomes a remote for the camera, does it doubles as a remote mic as well when you record video?
No
@@JSyntax thanks 👍🏾
What a great review 👌🏻. I have no more questions!! 👍🏻
Thanks for watching!
Am i crazy if go for the 40 mm version and my wrist is 7.9 inches or 20 cm?
I'd find that workout calendar app useful.
Ok first of all thanks 4 your review, but.. mine don't record sleeping data every night...idk why...but fails doing it randomly...don't know if its normal or not... If someone have the clue please let me know. I sometimes sleep activateing the sleeping mode or not, and the non recording data happens the same.
What strap were you using?
Hello,
Thank you very much for this video!
I subscribed and liked.
Thanks for the sub!
Any idea why my notifications dont work on my watch 4? Ive tried every and still nothing, no notifications, i dont want to buy a new watch , this one is only 15 months old
Can I connect it to esim using A24 phone. The phone doesn't support esim. That's why
What was the name of that app he mentioned was it called good face?
Doom-scrolling. I'm glad they have a name for it.
As for the watch, I've just ordered the silver classic 43. Worried about the bulk but I just couldn't say no to the scrolling bezel.
When it comes to battery life would a solar powered smartwatch work?
Thanks for this review, very informative 🙏👏
Glad it was helpful!
Where can you find the camera controller, i cant seem to find it in my watch 6
I think that app is only available for people who have the folding phones made by Samsung , because nobody is able to find that app in the store except the people who have the folding phones.
hello sir
auto brightness of AOD is not working in downloaded watch faces
please check and give solution 🙏
Did you use the 40mm in all video parts?
Yes
Hi, what do you recommend between 40mm and 44mm regarding battery life?
Both are about the same! I charge daily when shower. It's ez
I have the watch 4 that I wear faily frequently (but I do have about 15 watches). I think its an alright product but this barely looks any different. The screen is kind of nicer (kind of) but it barely does anything different that I remotely care about. I bought it becasuse it was cheap but from what I see this costs way more than what I paid when this was new. I would just pay twice that price and get a fenix or something. Its nice to have a watch for running but I barely wear it for anything else.
Great review. I'm about to get a S24 in a few days and it comes with a complementary Watch 6. I don't think it's enough to make me part from my GW3 that I've had for so long. Your review was honest, informative and easy to understand... Thank you, I will be subscribing and sticking around! 😁
Wow that's a nice deal. Regular S24? How much did you pay for the dral?
@@Rash7even s24 u same with galaxy watch 6
It's free and you still would rather use a much older watch?
Hello from Portugal 🇵🇹✌Great video, by the way, thank you 😁 I'm thinking about buying one just like yours, but I'm a bit afraid because, as you and other TH-camrs said it, it is not very precise in same health features, but I will probably get one anyways, because it has so many amazing others and I think I would really love having one. What I wanted to ask you is if the fact that is the smaller one difficults sending messages or searching on Play Store, for example. I mean "writing" on a smartwatch it's not natural, but it's amazing, and I'm afraid of that, because I have a really small wrist and I think if I choose the bigger one, it will look weird, but on the other hand, if I choose the smaller one, it could difficult that action. I hope you can understand my question, sorry if I made some mistakes. Once again, thank you, have a nice day and keep on doing your job. You just got one more subscriber from Portugal 😁
26:24 samsung actually does make a small fitness tracker, its the galaxy fit 3
I got a question, if you look in the back of your Galaxy 5 Pro or 6 watch does a small hole now every time I go to put my watch in the morning I feel a little prick and when I check to see what it is I didn't notice anything at first but then upon closer looking there's like a little hole just close to the longer strap on the back no I compared it to where I felt the prick and it came from the same position that little hole is in I want to know out of every Watch review I seen they never talk about this little hole or what it is😮😮😅 so I'm asking what is
The tiny pinhole size hole in the backside of Samsungs watches is a barometer sensor it is used for altitude so the watch knows where it is , it senses air pressure changes.
getting dirt under you watch is common to all wrist watches if you actually wear them lol
I want the watch 6 47mm LTE classic but only select tmobile stores sales that version it's super hard to find a store
Why can't you have it shipped?
I pre ordered the 44mm with the black fabric band and I love it
Me to 44mm is best! But silver colour is nicer ?
@@retirementkhabibnurmagomed7280 I agree
Hey J, nice review!
For weight lifting, the watch allows you to leave your phone behind, listen to music (over bluetooth) and keep track of what set you're on (using a counter app), and even time your rest periods. I'm surprised that you didn't find it useful in the gym.
Hi friend, do you know if it runs youtube music app? Thx
I'm doing that with my ticwatch pro 3 in my latest video
How's the durability? My watch 4 has taken a beating and it is clearly seen; chipped paint all over, scratches on screen etc. If there's one thing in my life I couldn't help but be clumsy with is my watch. Since this has sapphire glass and a non-black color (graphite is what it is called I believe), I would like to hear how well has it help up.
