Samsung recently launched the Galaxy Watch6 Series which consists of two new Samsung wearables: the Galaxy Watch6 and Galaxy Watch6 Classic.
The Galaxy Watch6 is a watch made to be stylish, yet comfortable when worn. The watch is available in two screen sizes: 40mm and 44mm and is available in three colors: Graphite, Gold (only available in 40mm), and Silver (only available in 44mm). It has a 1.3-inch Super AMOLED display with 432 x 432 pixels for the 40mm version while the 44mm version has a 1.5-inch Super AMOLED display with 480 x 480 pixels.
Meanwhile, the Galaxy Watch6 Classic has a bigger watch face at 47mm and 43mm. Unlike the Galaxy Watch6, it has a rotating bezel that can be seen around the display. It has a 1.5-inch Super AMOLED display with 480 x 480 pixels for the 47mm option and a 1.3-inch Super AMOLED display with 432 x 432 pixels for the 43mm option. The watch is also available in two colors: black, and silver.
Both watches provide 16GB Storage with 2GB RAM and are powered by Exynos W930. They’re also equipped with Li-Ion 425 mAh non-removable battery, which allows the Galaxy Watch6 and Watch6 Classic to charge up to 45% in just 30 minutes. The latest Samsung smart watches’ batteries can last up to 40 hours in just one full charge.
The watches’ bands can also be changed or removed with just a simple press of the quick-release button and both are covered by Sapphire Crystal Glass to protect the watch from getting damaged by water or dust.
Sleep and wellness play a part in the Galaxy Watch6 Series’ features, giving users the chance to know more about their sleeping patterns, and how they can establish better habits thanks to the in-depth analysis of Sleep Score Factors both watches give. These factors include sleep messages, sleep consistency, sleep animal symbol, sleep coaching, and sleep mode. Furthermore, fitness features include body composition, personalized heart rate zone, track run, custom workout, and fall detection.
