Right now this watch is not great at all. Had for a week now and each night the battery drains to 0 even before the alaram can go off. It holds a charge all day yet only at night does it drain. I have charged it each night before i go to bed. I sleep about 7 hours it is completely drained. I do put in a repair request, which means I will be without the watch for about 7 days. I honestly wish Samsung would just let get another exact watch from where i bought it and the store send it back for repaird or to be looked at. I am willing to see what happens but would be easier for Samsung to let me swap it out with my phone carrier that I bout it from
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

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.

Horrendous battery life, save your money.

Watch barely lasts a day, even with always on display amd other settings turned off. I've only had it a couple weeks and multiple times now I've gone to bed with >50% battery and woken up with the watch battery dead/drained. It's a good product otherwise but who cares when the battery life is so awful.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Got this to upgrade my watch5, had galaxy wear devices since the watch 3 and as an avid cyclist had the HR, GPS and recovery metrics always present when using this biometric measure device. This iteration, or at least the one I've got, was wildly innacurate on HR and recovery (sleep) cycles. Where my watch5 and a whoop device I own since the start of this year where marginally close the watch6 did not get close to either.
As fitness and tracking of biometric KPIs is my main use I'm disappointed by the lackluster performance and nonchalant brand attitude of the brand for what could be the core fan base of this line.
All other features do as they promise, play music, pay, read messages and the software is intuitive and easy to get. If that's your main use get one.
So I'm sticking to my wear5 for the time being even when I'm truly missing the watch6 dial crown.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Poor Battery Life
on February 8, 2024
Posted by: Spark

The short time I've had this watch, it has given me tons of grief. The battery life they claimed was obviously a lie. I lost 15% in 1 hour. That sort of drain is ridiculous. It's already advertised as 20 hours LESS than the Watch5 Pro which is strange that a new generation would have less battery. If you had a choice between a 5 Pro and 6, go for the 5 Pro. Very disappointed in this.

I am having trouble trying to understand why my Galaxy watch 6 classic barely makes it through the day starting from a full charge. My watch 5 Pro easily went two days with a full charge. I have looked everywhere on the internet trying to find out why and can find nothing that would tell me why my battery does not make it as long as they said it would. I've even deleted some programs I had on my watch 5 pro to see if it would give me more battery time and it does not. I am very disappointed with this.

GPS is totally unreliable, often will not connect at all without a Wi-Fi connection, rendering it pretty much useless as a “fitness” watch, much less an “adventure” watch you might depend on for directions.
