Features and performance
The Galaxy Watch 6 is supported only on Android while being compatible with devices running Android 10 or higher with more than 1.5GB of RAM.
Its health and fitness functions are commendable as they include sleep-tracking and rapid activity-tracking options, and the auto-start and auto-pause capabilities are not to be neglected.
Although the wearable can be paired with non-Samsung Android phones, some functionalities work only with Samsung Galaxy handsets, such as irregular heart rhythm notifications, phone separation alerts, and the Camera Controller app.
Samsung's smartwatch is running on Wear OS 4, its recently developed One UI 5 Watch software.
Beside various other features and being available on the Galaxy Watch 4 series and later iterations, One UI 5 Watch is famed for delivering robust emergency services access, new sleep insights, and personalised heart rate data.
Design and display
The Galaxy Watch6 has withered away the wheel, but this round smartwatch is a great option if you have an Android companion, and most certainly if you’re chasing Samsung-exclusive features like the electrocardiogram and irregular heart rate alerts only work when paired with Samsung phones.
Coming in two sizes, the Galaxy Watch 6 easily lasts full day with the always-on display. It's simple to check notifications, respond to messages, and control smart home gadgets via SmartThings or Google Home.
The most enticing is the model with the mechanical rotating bezel, something you can use to scroll through the Wear OS interface.
