The new Galaxy Watch 6 Classic brings back rotating bezels, which its predecessor lacked, while the standard watch comes with a touch bezel that’s slimmer. In both cases, the screen is larger and should be easier to read. The wearables are also the first in Samsung’s lineup to launch with Google’s Wear OS 4 platform and Samsung’s One UI 5 Watch skin. That allows for new features like personalized heart rate zones, passive irregular heart rhythm alerts, and more advanced sleep tracking capabilities.
Samsung also claims a larger battery combined with these software updates should translate to better battery life, though, of course, these are claims we’ve yet to test. We’ll be publishing a review of the smartwatch soon, so stay tuned.
As is customary, the Galaxy Watch 6 comes in a 40mm and 44mm size. While both configurations offer a graphite gray colorway, the 40mm also comes in a gold shade while the 44mm also comes in silver. Pricing starts at $299.99 for the smaller watch, while the larger 44mm variant retails for $329.99. Both come with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi or optional LTE cellular connectivity for an additional $50.
The Galaxy Watch 6 Classic comes in two sizes, 43mm and 47mm, and is available in black and silver. It starts at $399.99 for the smaller watch, while you can buy the 47mm model starting at $429.99. Like the standard version, both come with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi while the LTE versions will add $50 to the cost of each size.
As with the standard Galaxy Watch 6, you can get a maximum of $250 in credit along with a free fabric band when you preorder the watch from Samsung, or get a $50 gift card with a preorder at Best Buy.
