Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Straps

Before the livestream kicked off, we spotted an exciting detail on Samsung’s accessories page. The new Galaxy Watch 6 strap features a rear button for easy removal—a brilliant upgrade. While rumours hinted at this change, we’re thrilled to see it confirmed.

We’re already working on producing these new straps. Soon, you’ll find them on our Galaxy Watch 6 accessories page. Samsung has confirmed that all 20mm QuickRelease straps are compatible with the Galaxy Watch 6 series, ensuring plenty of options to personalise your device.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Design

The livestream showcased the Galaxy Watch 6 series’ design, and as expected, it includes both the standard Galaxy Watch 6 and the return of the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic. The Classic features a rotating bezel for intuitive navigation, giving it a distinctive, premium look.

The design remains consistent with previous models, reinforcing Samsung’s signature style, much like the Apple Watch’s recognisable aesthetic. The official sizes are:

• Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 - 40mm (standard version)
• Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 - 44mm (standard version)
• Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Classic - 43mm
• Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Classic - 47mm

Improved Sleep Tracking

The Galaxy Watch 6 series shines with its revamped sleep tracking. Quality sleep is vital for health, and Samsung is catching up with competitors like the Fitbit Versa 4 and Sense 2. The new sleep monitor not only tracks duration but also assesses sleep quality, delivering a clear morning report.

A new PPG sensor ensures precise heart rate measurements, enhancing sleep tracking accuracy across four stages: deep sleep, light sleep, REM, and brief wakefulness. Playful ‘sleep animals’ add a fun twist, like the penguin, which represents someone with consistent sleep and wake times but frequent nighttime disruptions.

Enhanced Heart Rate Monitoring

The upgraded heart rate sensor isn’t just for sleep—it also detects irregular heart rhythms, notifying you and providing an ECG report for further insight. During workouts, the sensor tracks heart rate zones, alerting you to slow down if you’re pushing too hard or encouraging you to step it up if you’re lagging, ensuring optimal training.

Back by popular demand, the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic is officially here, echoing the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic with its iconic rotating bezel for seamless control and a refined look.

The bezel is noticeably slimmer, and the Classic comes in 43mm and 47mm sizes with the same display size as the standard model. Available in black and silver, it’s a stylish choice for any wrist.

Galaxy Watch 6 Prices and Release Date
