Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Classic

Nicer looking design than regular Galaxy Watch 6 ; Great, big vibrant display with skinny bezels ; Decent enough battery life ; Two different sizes to choose from

Fitness tracking is okay, but not amazing ; Not the cheapest

The Galaxy Watch 6 Classic is a solid feature-rich Wear OS, but with a more traditional design than its regular Watch 6 sibling. Battery life is solid, the display is great, and it looks good.

Fluid performance ; Consistently good battery life ; Rotating bezel was sorely missed

Big price jump over regular Watch 6 ; no major internal upgrades over last year’s model

No major leaps forward this year… but bringing back the bezel still makes an already great all-rounder smartwatch even better.

Sapphire glass and good build quality, and the strap feels better now.

Quite expensive at launch.

However, the downgrade in battery life and the price premium for the Classic version are two considerable drawbacks. The polished One UI over Wear OS and the deep integration with Google's apps (Google Maps navigation on your wrist is pretty neat!) may...

Rotating bezel A choice of case size Supreme 24/7 comfort High quality materials Comprehensive health and fitness tracking

Spotty notification reliability Performance doesn't always impress

“The Galaxy Watch 6 Classic has superb styling, all-day comfort, comprehensive health tracking, and more. It's the smartwatch to buy for your Android phone.”

Comfy to wear. You can switch phones without resetting the watch. Mechanical bezel is back, baby. Two-day battery life (with always-on display off). Robust set of health and fitness features. Improved app selection.

Some health features only work with Samsung phones. Heart rate discrepancies. Some lag here and there. Pricey.

Heavier than standard model ; Mediocre battery life ; Minor workout heart rate accuracy issues

– Average battery life ; – A little heavy on the wrists ; – Some of the sensors don’t work in India

Vibrant Super AMOLED display ; Thin rotating bezel ; Accurate health, sleep, and activity tracking ; Ships with Wear OS 4 and One UI 5 Watch ; Charging is super fast

Battery life could be better ; Minimal upgrades from the 5 Pro and 4 Classic

Screen is twice as bright as last year ; One-click watch band design is backwards-compatible ; Switch phones without resetting the watch ; Rotating bezel is back on the Classic

Need to charge the watch every day ; Irregular heart rhythm/ECG only for Galaxy phones ; Classic is $100 more than the Galaxy Watch 6 ; Sleep tracking accuracy is uneven

Superb design with a rotating bezel ; Large and bright display ; Very decent battery life ; Excellent value ; Lots of features and functionalities

Some of its best features are limited to Galaxy devices ; New latch mechanism is too stiff, bands are a bit hard to swap ; A bit too big and heavy, not comfortable to wear at night
