Overall, the watch is great. However, I miss my festive heart circling after I've reached my health goals. It's the little things. Also, sometimes, there are small glitches turning to each widget using the bezel (slow response).

Much improved version of the Classic watch!

So I have had this new watch for a about a month now, and I can say it's been a nice upgrade. I traded in a Watch 4 Classic 46mm LTE for this Watch 6 Classic 47mm and I'm more than satisfied. The relative subtle differences are actually quite large.
1st - The smaller bezel has made the watch gain a huge amount or screen real estate while retaining the classic bezel experience which I can say is epic. The screen itself is much brighter, which is now readable in direct sunlight no problem, and has a higher DPI so things are even more thrilling to view. 2nd) New OS is liquid smooth, and the small upgrade in ram/processor speed has complimented this new OS. It's stable, fast and just works! 3rd) The new software has much better battery management complimenting the new bigger battery. The first week or so it was still learning my habits so the life of the battery was barely making it through an entire day. Now that the learning curve has been completed, the battery life is much more improved. So much so, I'm now impressed. It lasts through an entire day and night, before having to get a recharge. The new charger easily charges this watch almost twice as fast as my Classic 4 so it's back on my wrist in no time.

Love this watch

Love this watch. It was easy to set up. The rotating bezel is an awesome feature. It makes navigating through apps and screens a breeze. It holds a charge all day and recharges quickly. The sleep app that is preloaded is especially useful. I've been very pleased with it since I got it and would recommend it to anyone looking for a new smart watch.

The battery life is awful - I upgraded hoping this would no longer be an issue - I honestly feel this new one has a shorter battery line than my trade in

A HUGE difference and step up.... BUT!!!

I've been a HUGE Samsung user for the past 19 years and I've had just about every phone, watch & earbuds that they came out with.... That being said I REALLY love the watch but there is a couple of features that I CANNOT say is good. 1st of ALL the battery drains SUPER FAST for ANY Samsung Watch. The watch battery lasts ONLY about half the day and that's just by wearing it. I find myself charging it up 2 times daily. I don't talk on it, message on it, play on it or use it out of normal notifications coming to it and checking the time. I've used the other Samsung Watches the same way and I could go 2 days on 1 100% FULL BATTERY charge. 2nd is the sleep tracking DOES NOT WORK AT ALL really. I can get a FULL 8 hour sleep in and it will NOT track the sleep at all. The other Galaxy watches you could take a 30 minute nap and when you wake up and check the watch that 30 minute nap will be recorded. I don't know if it has something to do with the software but Samsung you really need to look into these problems. OVERALL everything else about this watch is 100% good.
I would recommend this to a friend!

IT'S INFURIATING. This could be the worst one yet. 1) If you turn off needless animations, the bezel stops working consistently. Even with Animations on, the bezel has trouble waking the device.
2) IT NEVER SHUTS UP, god forbid you disconnect from the phone, it will remind you every time it disconnects so if your phone is in that sweet spot of edge of connectivity, this thing will constantly buzz and now you can't even turn that off, could in previous models.
3)Thanks for the battery life, I love that I have to charge this every day, sometimes twice a day even though I rarely use it. Every time I rely on it, its dead. SUPER COOL. Oh and thanks for shrinking the battery life in the 47mm, why does the 45MM Watch5 Pro have a larger battery? it's a smaller watch. I turn off the sensors, I turn off the display, and switched over to black and white mode as well. MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE YOU DON'T ALLOW US TO MUTE THE STUPID DISCONNECTED FROM PHONE NOTIFICATION WHICH GOES OFF, NO JOKE LITERALLY EVERY 10 MINUTES FOR ME AT MOST, REALISTICALLY SEEMS LIKE EVERY 30 SECONDS. STOP REMOVING FEATURES LIKE THAT FROM US.
It's messed up that the Gear S2 could last 4 days with the same settings I have on the Watch6 Classic, which is lucky to get a day and half of battery life. It's frustrating that I can't turn off the "detached from phone" notifications anymore like I could on the Watch5 Pro. It's uglier than the Watch5 Pro whose matte finish was pretty; this just looks ugly. THERE LITERALLY ISN'T ANY REASON TO BUY THIS. In the 2+ wks of owning it, I have chose to not wear it more than wear it, since I get so annoyed with the constant buzzing since I walked away from my phone. THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF A WATCH IS SO YOU DON'T NEED YOUR PHONE NEXT TO YOU. OTHERWISE I'D JUST USE MY PHONE.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Our goal is for our customers to feel like they are having the most ideal experiences while using our products. Samsung provides a 12-month warranty on our products for manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship, linked below. There are several reasons why your Galaxy Watch may be experiencing battery drain or have decreased battery life. For example, certain apps can increase battery consumption. You can prioritize and streamline app alerts by changing which apps send notifications and how notifications alert you. So that you can become better acquainted with your new Galaxy Watch6 Classic's settings, I have linked your user manual below. The Galaxy Watch6 Classic battery can last up to 40 hours so that you have enough power to do more in your day. When you finally need to power up your Watch6 Classic, you can quickly charge it back up from 0% to 45% in just 30 minutes! If you were wanting to leave your paired phone behind and utilize the Watch6 Classic for calls, texts, and notifications, that would require the LTE version of the watch and not the Bluetooth version.
