The battery life of this watch is terrible. I purchased this watch as a gift for my wife based on the fact of having the S3 Frontier and the watch 5 pro. I charge both of those watches once every three days or so. The Galaxy Watch 6 She had to charge it daily. It barely got 12 hrs before the battery would completely drain. The watch would overheat while I was setting it up as well as when I would go through different apps or trying to download new watch faces. I also turned off all notifications except incoming phone calls and text messages and the battery still didn't last. I had three replacements and the initial purchase since. February. I hope that going forward the developers and design team will make battery life a priority for their possible new and repeat customers.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hey Mr. Gadget! Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts about the Galaxy Watch6. The Galaxy Watch6 features an 18% faster processor than its predecessors and offers up to 40 hours of battery life on a single charge. If your Galaxy Watch is experiencing battery drain or decreased battery life, there could be several reasons for this. Certain apps can consume more battery, so it's essential to check them. If your watch is paired with a Samsung phone, you can use the Samsung Members app to run a diagnostic on your watch battery. If it passes the test, you'll know the battery is in good condition. Sometimes, individual apps may have bugs that lead to excessive battery usage. To ensure optimal performance, make sure all your apps are updated. Additionally, don’t forget to update the watch itself. To do this from your phone, open the Galaxy Wearable app. Depending on your watch, either tap "Watch settings" or go to the "SETTINGS" tab. Then, select "About watch" and tap "Update watch software." If your watch is an older model, select "About Gear" and then "Update Gear software." For additional options to help optimize your watch's battery life, please check out the link attached. If you continue to experience this, please don't hesitate to contact us at Samsung Support. -Kelvin smsng.us/Samsung-Support smsng.us/Facebook-Messenger smsng.us/X-Messages smsng.us/Samsung-Community smsng.us/Warranty-Info smsng.us/Samsung-Care-Plus

I love this watch6. I double check the output informationi.e. bpm o2 etc against doctors equipment and so far reading are always within a poit or 2. It's been very beneficial when using for ekg recordings. I had 5 events and sent the results straight to my Cardiologist, who read them immediately. I have also linked my 6lead ekg device and ormon bpm cup to verify the results from the watch. I love how much it keeps up with. Can't beat it for your health.
Some of health monitorings are only available for Samsung phone. Fast battery drain.
