The Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Classic caters to those who crave a balance between classic design and cutting-edge features.
Display:
The Classic boasts a beautiful 1.5-inch (43mm) or 1.56-inch (47mm) Super AMOLED display with a sharp 480 x 480 resolution. Protected by scratch-resistant Sapphire crystal, the display offers excellent viewing angles and vibrant colors, making it easy to see information even under sunlight. With an always-on display option, you can glance at the time or notifications without needing to activate the watch.
Camera:
Unlike many smartwatches, the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic doesn’t have a built-in camera. This keeps the design sleek and allows Samsung to focus on packing more sensors and functionalities into the watch.
Performance:
The Exynos W930 (5nm) processor paired with 2GB of RAM ensures smooth performance for navigating menus, launching apps, and tracking workouts. The watch runs Wear OS 4 with Samsung’s One UI Watch 5 on top, offering a user-friendly interface and access to a wide range of apps from the Google Play Store.
Battery:
The 425mAh battery delivers up to 40 hours of typical use on a single charge, which should be enough to last through most weekdays. While heavy users might need to top it up more frequently, the watch supports fast charging, allowing you to quickly power it up when needed.
Storage:
The Galaxy Watch 6 Classic comes with 16GB of internal storage, which is sufficient for storing music, apps, and workout data. This ensures you can take your music library offline for phone-free workouts.
Software:
As mentioned earlier, the watch runs Wear OS 4 with Samsung’s One UI Watch 5 on top. This combination offers a user-friendly interface with customizable watch faces, intuitive navigation, and access to a vast library of apps from the Google Play Store. Samsung’s Health app provides comprehensive fitness tracking and health monitoring features.
Connectivity:
The Galaxy Watch 6 Classic offers Bluetooth 5.3 for connecting to your smartphone. It comes in Bluetooth and LTE variants, with the latter allowing you to stay connected and receive notifications even without your phone nearby. Built-in GPS allows for accurate location tracking during outdoor workouts. Additionally, Wi-Fi connectivity lets you download apps and software updates directly on the watch.
Sound:
The watch features a built-in speaker for alarms, notifications, and playing music stored on the device. While it might not be ideal for extensive music listening, it’s sufficient for casual playback and phone calls when paired with a Bluetooth headset.
