00:00 Meet the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 and Galaxy Watch 6 Classic, a collection of wear OS watches
00:08 that will lead Samsung's wearable experiences for the upcoming year.
00:12 Starting with design, there are a couple of cool changes for this generation of Galaxy
00:16 Watch.
00:17 On the Galaxy Watch 6, the frame sits more flush with the display than before and the
00:21 bezels are 30% thinner.
00:23 Meanwhile, the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic has a 15% thinner physical rotating bezel than
00:30 before.
00:31 You can tell it's much less pronounced compared to the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic.
00:34 I have to say it looks much more sleek this way, but you still get that satisfying physical
00:38 dial for navigation plus the little subtle clicking sounds.
00:43 The Galaxy Watch 6 series is strongly prioritizing sleep.
00:46 We have seen advancements and the addition of new sleep tech features for the past few
00:50 years, but what's noteworthy on the Watch 6 is the sleep score factor analysis, including
00:55 time, sleep cycle, awake time, plus physical and mental recovery to help users understand
01:01 the quality of the sleep they get each night.
01:04 There's not too much new for fitness tracking.
01:06 You'll still get the body composition analysis feature, plus SBO2, ECG, and heart rate monitoring.
01:12 But there is a new personalized heart rate zones feature for workouts, and we'll see
01:16 Samsung roll out the irregular heart rate rhythm notification feature that detects signs
01:20 of AFib.
01:22 The Galaxy Watch 6 starts at $299, while the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic starts at $399.
