Galaxy Watch 6 Series Specifications and Features
As previously rumoured, the new Galaxy Watch 6 Classic brings back Samsung’s rotating bezel. The Galaxy Watch 6 and Watch 6 Classic have a 20% bigger circular display and 15% slimmer bezels, respectively.
A Brilliant Display
The 1.5-inch Super AMOLED Sapphire Crystal display (also available in 1.3-inch size) has up to 2000 nits of brightness and Always-on-Display (AOD) capabilities. There is support for customizing watch bands, with over 700 options available depending on your preferences.
Enhanced Sleep Monitoring
The latest Galaxy smartwatches are designed to improve sleep monitoring. Access to comprehensive Sleep Scores components such as total sleep duration, sleep cycle, waking time, and more is available. The watches also have a Sleep Coach, which may help you improve your sleep cycle based on sleep insights. Furthermore, the Galaxy Watch 6 series may modify the settings of linked devices to create the ideal sleeping environment.
Advanced Health Tracking
There’s now a SpO2 monitor, an ECG sensor, and a heart rate sensor for health monitoring, along with the new Irregular Heart Rhythm Notification function, which maintains track of heartbeats for Atrial Fibrillation (AFib) even when sleeping. For example, the Galaxy Watch 5 Series can assess skin temperature and track the menstrual cycle. A new skin temperature API is being considered, employing modern infrared technology to provide precise measurements. Fall Detection, similar to the Apple Watch Series 8, checks for the possibility of falling when sleeping or exercising.
Personalized Fitness Tools
The Body Composition tool gives information on skeletal muscle, basal metabolic rate, body water percentage, and body fat percentage, which may assist you in setting and tracking objectives. The new Personalized Heart Rate Zone tool will recommend five appropriate running intensity levels depending on your physical capabilities, assisting you in creating fitness objectives. There are over 100 sports modes available for tracking different activities.
Powerful Performance and Connectivity
You receive a battery with a capacity of 300mAh that can last up to 40 hours and supports WPC-based wireless charging. The Exynos W930 processor is under the hood, with 16GB of storage and 2GB of RAM. It is powered by the most recent Wear OS 4 with One UI 5 Watch on top. LTE, Bluetooth 5.3, Wi-Fi 2.4+5GHz, NFC, 5ATM, IP68 certification, and GPS compatibility are all included in the watches.
