Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 hands-on: The best of both worlds

[AC News]

The Galaxy Watch 6 makes a few key changes over the Watch 5 that we appreciate, but possibly not enough to upgrade. As for the Watch 6 Classic, it brings back the rotating bezel in the best possible way, but we have to admit that it's even chunkier than the Watch 5 Pro.

So, if I move to the largest watch6 classic, I can expect half the battery life I get on my 5 Pro?

I get nearly 4 days... but that still seems like a big tradeoff... especially when it isn't even titanium... not that it really matters, but it is a point against the new watch.

Samsung need to pull it's shirt together and stop giving every years new products stark compromises over the previous years. If we wanted a watch with a bezel but crappy battery life we could just stick with the 4.

One or two day battery is a huge downside. I don't understand why can't they have better batteries.

It's quite disappointing!

I have a Watch 3 & I still get 2-3 days usage. (To be fair, I don't usually wear it while I sleep.)

Yeah, that's my issue. When I went 3 to 4 I often couldn't make it through one full day. It was bad enough that I recommended against people upgrading. I don't want to go back to that when I'm used to getting 4 day and 3 nights from my 5 Pro. Really don't understand what's going on with samsung...

I got Classic 6 43mm to replace my Watch 4. I think bezel and stainless steel are worth $200 that I paid with trade-in etc.
