When you're setting up cellular for you Galaxy Watch 6 Classic, can you make a video on how to do it? I want to buy a smartwatch but I don't know if I should get an LTE enabled watch or not. Also have you had any overheating issues with cellular yet?

Which has Faster Charging Galaxy Watch 4 or 5 or 6 at how many watts ?

[@christophersneed5212]

I would love to see a updated gear s come back

[@kcled01]

I had the original Samsung Gear S watch for 2 years. I loved that watch. 2 inch screen. Big enough that it had the swipe to text option. The only thing they did wrong on that watch was contact charging. My charging points eventually corroded enough that it became difficult to charge. Had cellular capability also. I'd love to have that watch again but with wireless charging. Good battery life too.

[@jdneilso]

I had the classic 4 and I did upgrade to the classic 6. I didn't plan on it but the trade in deals were insane. I paid $160 for my Watch 4 classic, brand new, at Walmart. They offered me a $200 trade in. I got the Watch 6 classic for $130, after trade in.

[@toneymitchell1032]

Coming from the 4, and 5 pro I noticed the performance, brighter screen, less bezel, and the return of the Rotating Bezel I love it and it’s worth the upgrade in my opinion.

[@mitchr2474]

coming from a 4 it's a massive upgrade

[@satinsangel1688]

I'm coming from the OG Gear, S3 Frontier, and Galaxy Watch (1); yet I'm hardly seeing a benefit so far. My Galaxy Watch (1) lasts longer and does 90% the same things, and has the bezel of course. The only justification I have to myself is the new operating system. Both do notifications and Samsung Pay; though I love having the Google Assistant vs Bixby.

[@MrRx.]

I came from my first watch The active 2 than the Original Galaxy watch 46mm and after that the Galaxy watch 4 classic 46mm and now I have the Galaxy watch 5 pro and I like the battery life on the 5 pro the watch 4 classic had less battery and I wanted something near my original Galaxy Watch 46mm battery 472mah which got me 4 days and the Galaxy watch 5 pro 590mah one day less for me because I get 3 to 3 and a half days because it's has newer specs inside (I'm just waiting for the watch 7 pro to come out)

[@mech2711]

​@@MrRx.I'm still rocking the 46 mm galaxy watch 1 but I definitely need to upgrade but I like the battery life I get with the 1 so eventually I might go for the 5 pro

[@MrRx.]

@mech2711 I like my watch 5 pro due to the battery but once the watch 7 pro comes out I will definitely upgrade to that watch I heard from render if it's true the watch size will be 48mm for the watch 7 pro. But I will have to wait and see when it actually comes out

[@ArtKrikorian]

I traded my Watch 5 for my new 43mm Watch 6 classic. I liked the watch 5. I love my new watch 6 classic. It's not being talked about much but the higher resolution makes a real difference. Also, fwiw, I get through a day easily on one charge, with 20 - 30% battery to spare, and with AOD on.

[@wesman6445]

The Gear S is my favorite watch. I loved the design but hated the way it had to be charged. I still use every now and then.

[@RavingKats]

The fabric band is actually great, I really like it and am pretty sensitive to cheap materials. It's actually my favourite band out of the ones I've tried with previous watches (elasticity ones, metal, OEM). The battery life (GW 6 44mm) was horrible the first 2 charges. I guess it was "learning usage patterns" but initially I was pretty depressed. But it seems to be getting better now, so just a heads up on that when fresh out of the box. The body composition is so picky about finger placements, it's kinda annoying that it takes several tries for me to get a reading (either need to moisturize fingers or it thinks I've touched something or moved maybe because I have small hands). You can set up the GW6 to load workouts from 2 wrist flicks when the screen first turns on via wearable app.

[@TechisodeTV]

Thanks for the feedback on the band and your experience with the battery life so far! I guess I'll have to give this band a longer test, because most people seem to love it.

[@kind2de]

Best Samsung Watch video on KZbin, covering many important things. Be aware that performance of watch 6 series is probably adaptive, and will speed up over time, along with battery life and sensor accuracy.

[@campusrunner3161]

I received my GW6C today. While I love the feel of the rotating bezel, the clicks aren't as responsive as the GW4C. It often causes my display to stutter rather that transition to the next tile. I've also had the overheating notice appear during setup.

[@dennisrogers6786]

No stutters on mine at all, close apps and every now and then clear memory, and set developer mode on and set animations to 0.5x, will get a Hugh boast in speed

[@JP-mo1dy]

Great video. Love your format and details. Perfect example of how videos should get done. I'm coming from the watch 3, so I'm glad you said you were doing a deep dive because it feels like a completely different watch and don't know where to start to see what's new. I'm just wearing it without exploring.

[@christopher564]

There is also another difference i came across compared to the 5 pro. I currently have both the 5 pro and 6 classic lte versions. I've been trying for the last two days to get Red Pocket mobile running on the watch while i have T-Mobile on my phone(this is my watch 5 setup). It appears that the newer Watch 6 only allows you to run the same service provider as you have on your phone. The mobile network settings are also reduced compared to the watch 5... There options to modify things like access point names and network operators straight from the watch have vanished. No one on the internet is talking about this 😔.

[@shenanigans8apeach]

Do you have to purchase additional service to run the watch? Or does it use the service from your phone?

[@lazarusdeagneaux1817]

I have the Watch 4, which was my very 1st smart watch. It's useful and I still use it, but I'm holding out for a glucose monitor before I upgrade again since I only use it to track steps and use it to reply to messages and dome health options.

[@VelP3]

This was a very good and in-depth comparison....just purchased the 4 classic. 3 weeks B4 the 6 was announced. I no longer regret my purchase

[@TheDarksKing]

The Gear S, man classic for real! I've had every watch from the gear S3 onward. I would love for them to bring back the camera like the OG had but in display for meet calls, but I know that's too niche.

[@MattRobloxYT1]

I think this is worth the upgrade.

[@Sbomb16]

I'll probably never get rid of my stainless s2 classic, but cool comparisons regardless! The s2 classic is just the perfect mix of style and function for me. No extra bells and whistles, just shows me my notifications, allows me to control my media, and tracks my steps. Nothing more, nothing less, and i wouldn't have it any other way

[@markweaver4424]

Great review using all of the previous Samsung watches. Very in-depth points on the various features and functions. While others do a comparison of the Watch 4 and Watch 5 series, comparing the older watches really strikes a balance. I traded my Watch 4 Classic for the Watch 6 Classic in black. I’m going to hold on to my Watch 5 Pro to see what the Watch 7 is like.

From the watch 4 to watch 6 classic definately a significant increase in battery life. And my watch is still learning my use patterns. The forst day of your watch you barley get any battery power but 2nd say I noticed it lasted much longer. In that sense its worrh rhe upgrade.

Upgrading to the Watch6 Pro from my trusted Gear S2 was a letdown. S-Health views feels limited, miss the circular app organization, and battery optimization mode disappoints. Overall, not a worthwhile upgrade.

​@jokerface20 he meant that watch 2 doesn't have a rotating bezel/classic watch. So he skipped it. If he were comparing the watch 6 (no bezel) then he'd compare it to the 2

5:10 The original Galaxy watch 46mm has stiff rotating bezel, while the 42mm one has very smooth and satisfying rotating bezel. When they launched I bought the 46mm and it was big for me, sold for almost the same price as I got from a deal with Note 9 and bought the 42mm... Now, still using the 42mm and the bezel is still very great. Still hesitant to upgrade because the newer watches comes with Android! + Samsung pay is not supported in my country!

Great review, covered a lot of things that are of interest that most reviewers don't. Very helpful in deciding whether or not an upgrade from an older watch is worth it. I think the one disappointing takeaway from all this is that Samsung hasn't really done much to improve their watch over many years. Performance, screen quality, design and functionality have not changed that drastically over previous iterations.

[@ViniciusAraujo1]

There is a good point on that, since owners of older watches don't need to upgrade it

Although I like very much the sleeker look of the Watch 6 Classic in black. I like better the look of the Watch 4 classic in silver. Also they should do something like bring back that Gear S you're rocking. I for one still use my 2018 Galaxy Watch a lot as it's more rugged and still lasts for about 3 to 4 days. I mostly use my Watch 4 Classic for looks. Lol.

[@2MPJC]

I found this video to see if it's worth upgrading. I am still using the Galaxy Watch 1 with a rotating bezel and love it. It gives 3 days battery with AOD, down from 3.5/4 when brand new. I can't see a reason to upgrade right now. If money was no object I'd get the Apple Watch Ultra instead, even though I'm completely ingrained in the Google ecosystem with a pixel phone, smart hubs and more.

[@colmastro4373]

Well seing as the 6 classic is the 4 classic's successor, perhaps it's worth the upgrade from the 4 classic. but seing as it's NOT the 5 pro's successor, it's quite literally a downgrade in everything to build quality, battery and even features like superior GPS that the 6 does not have. Even once the update comes to the 5 pro, it will be more like the 6 classic on steroids.

That's a great video. However, yes the GW6 Classic is beautiful, especially the silver one, and I also love the 47mm on my 15cm wrist. But I will not get it since nothing's changed. Same old inaccuracy as in 4 and 5 watches. Big disappointment for me. All these features are really nice but worthless when the watch is inaccurate. Samsung needs to up their game, learn from Apple how to better their sensors to be as accurate as possible, make their GW battery bigger (slimmer), ditch the Exynos processor and have the perfect watch for next year.

[@LAndre2874]

You cannot tell what the actual battery life is going to be until the watch completes it's usage test that takes three days after that your watch will start to adjust to your particular usage so anybody who notices the watch has terrible battery life out of the box it does they all do you have to wait for it to complete its learning algorithm that takes three days and then it will adjust accordingly everybody's watch battery will be slightly different

The button on the strap for connecting or disconnecting it must require deliberate effort to press, to prevent accidental release and potential loss of the watch.

I have a Watch 5 pro... for the longest time I got roughly about 40 hours to a charge. All of a sudden, and I have no idea why since no updates were made and I made no changes in the way I use it, suddenly I get 3 days (Pretty much 70 hours) to a charge. Truth be told, as is... I'm kinda happy with the 5 pro but looking at the 6 I can upgrade when I need to without worry.

Though I immediately removed and replaced it with a nicer band, so really I wish they would just sell a version of the watch without a band. Fantastic watch though, I was buying every other watch since the S3, but ended up going from the 5 to the 6 thanks to the return of the rotating bezel.

Are a bunch of the software differences just due to One UI Watch 5.0 vs 4.5 on the older watches? If that’s the case, then many of the features will likely come to the GW4 and newer when they update to the latest One UI on Galaxy Watches. Similarly you could have cut out half the differences between the 6 and the 5Pro by saying the 5P has onboard GPS functionality. That being said, thank you for a great comparison. Particularly the size and brightness.

I'm upgrading from a galaxy watch 3 that got really hot one day, to the point it almost burned me, then after I turned it off completely, it wouldn't charge anymore. Now it doesn't turn on at all.

Even though it was supposed to be water proof up to 3 meters. Not short out when I'm just cleaning sweat and dead skin out of the blocked microphone.
