Our opinion
This Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 is a smaller version of the Watch 6 Classic model, but with concessions that prove a little costly on a day-to-day basis. There are two bezel sizes, 43 and 44 mm.
The design benefits fully from the disappearance of the rotating bezel, which really lightens the overall lines and therefore the edges of the watch, and makes it particularly elegant, even if Apple is still ahead of the game when it comes to looks. The choice of aluminum is certainly less premium than steel, but it also lightens up this Galaxy Watch 6, which is easily forgotten on the wrist, yet remains firmly in place. The strap is 20 mm wide, which is classic and identical to the Korean manufacturer's previous watches: it can be easily detached for replacement. The fastening system, on the other hand, is discreet but not necessarily very practical to close.
The 1.47-inch diagonal screen is sufficiently well-defined to be pleasant to look at, especially as it boasts very high brightness for comfortable use in environments with varying degrees of light. The cinema and sleep modes also ensure unhindered use, even when the wrist is moved, for example. And for those who don't like the screen displayed, you can download others from the store.
The Galaxy Watch 6 boasts excellent power and storage capacity, smooth operation and a particularly generous catalog of applications, covering just about every need. The on-board operating system is of a high quality, with fairly instinctive navigation between the physical keys and the screen, while remaining customizable. It's also possible to respond to calls or messages, with a whole range of options for this: virtual keyboard, on-screen handwriting recognition or voice dictation. In addition to contactless payment, this connected watch can also detect a fall, which is always reassuring for vulnerable people. The Galaxy Wearables application is very complete and well-designed, but iPhone owners logically don't have access to it.
As far as health is concerned, the Galaxy Watch 6 does very well, offering a wide range of data for monitoring heart activity, stress and sleep, and even blood pressure with a Samsung smartphone. The GPS is precise enough to measure the distance covered in a running session.
The battery life of this Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 is nothing to be ashamed of, and even when still switched on, it lasts for over a day without worrying about recharging, but it's possible to go further by opting for optimized settings and a display, for example, only when the watch is moved and with fewer health data measurements.
