Graphite Samsung watch 6
I enjoy the fact you can use your phone camera through your watch as it makes it easier to get the right angle and not be in an uncomfortable angle with your bodyAlthough there is a down side the fact that there is an extra fee to get your smart watch and phone connected it's about £7 a month as much as it isn't a big expense to me it might be for others. I'm not sure why there is something else to pay for it as it is just an extention of your phone for when you can't use your phone. People pay over £200 for this product and then to have another fee on top is a bit much especially as it doesn't specify that there would be another charge on top of what was already paied.I like the fact that the clock faces can be customised using the SAMSUNG WEAR app.The instructions from the watch are simple to understand but there is a lot that goes on in a short amount of time. You'd swipe up for the apps, down for more options, left for health and right for notifications, sometimes it doesn't quite register the correct swipe so it does something else so the screen is very sensitive and the swiping needs to be precise.I like the strap it comes with as it is comfortable to wear but the clasp feels a bit light, like it could break if someone sat on or stood on or even if it was dropped on a hard floor.It was surprisingly easy to text on the watch and easy to type so there were no issues with that.The blood pressure monitor needs to be used with a cuff to start with to calibrate it but not everyone has a cuff and may use the watch as one.I do like the watch and the features it has like the sleep and exercise trackers.Both the sleep and exercise trackers seem great and seem accurate. I like that the sleep tracker shows what kind of sleep you may have like deep sleep and light depending on your heart rate, the only thing was that the watch wasn't overly comfortable to sleep with but if worse enough I'm sure it would be easy to get used to.Over all the watch is good quality and seems like a good thing that others can use but unfortunately I don't think it's something for me, but I'd suggest it to people who can't always be on their phone or have it on them especially if they need to communicate quickly.

For a change I'm going to start with the things I don't quite like about this watch. First and foremost, the battery duration. Although I wasn't expecting it to last for a week, having to charge it almost every day is a bit frustrating. I'm aware the more connectivity and the more features it has the less the battery lasts but I was expecting a bit more. I've tried to switch off "Always on" and that helped a bit so if you want to save some battery I'd recommend having it off. The other thing I'm not happy with is the charger. I have a multi usb wall charger so I've had to buy an adapter for the watch usb C charger. I know it's becoming the norm for phones and gadgets to come with usb C though. Moving now into the things I do like about this watch. First of all the packaging is excellent with a well thought design. It gives you the feel of an expensive quality product. Setup is pretty straightforward and quick. Once taken out of the box, it takes literally 2 minutes to set up and the process is well guided and smooth. Customization wise it comes with a lot of options, not only for the watch faces but also for the tiles and the granularity of the notifications permissions. A plus for me it's the different vibrations mode for the alarm. The display is outstanding. I've not struggled in any single condition, from the most bright direct sunlight to complete darkness, as the brightness adaption works no bother and the images and text are sharp and very clear. Having also tried making and receiving calls with the watch, I have to say it's exceeded my expectations. The sound is loud enough and crystal clear and the microphone must be good to cause people haven't notice I'm using the watch instead of the phone. Some other great features I love are the ability to pay wit it. I initially set up Samsung Pay seamlessly and then also tried Google Wallet. The health monitoring features are good too and integrated with Samsung Health. I like the detection of the activity/sport as it saves you time having to select the sport you want to track every time. To finish off, the watch is very lightweight and the strap is top quality. I'm used to sleep wearing a smartwatch and this is by far the most comfortable I've ever had

It’s only slightly larger in physical size, but because the screen reaches far closer to the bezel, the difference in screen size is phenomenal. The old Active watch’s screen was a good quality, this one is visibly better, with incredibly crisp lines and some beautiful line rendering. It’s a gorgeous display that even looks good displaying photos you’ve taken on your phone.
Functionally, again I’m amazed at how much of a jump up it is. The switch from Tizen to WearOS makes a big difference. WearOS is intuitively much closer to being the same experience as on a Samsung Galaxy smartphone. The watch feels like a natural extension to the phone. Despite the different OS, set-up was really quick and within a couple of minutes of unboxing it I had it up and running.
The customisation is great. By fiddling with the settings for the ‘complications’ (the widgets visible on your watch display) you can easily set it up with the quickest possible shortcuts to the apps or controls that you use most often- in my case, Strava for jogging and then music controls. The rotating action for adjusting your music volume is an example of a neat simple control that this phone just gets absolutely right.
Touch sensitivity is good, and it really picks up well on which part of the screen I’m aiming for. Apps like Strava work much better than on my old phone. The extra screen size allows for more information to be shown with greater legibility.
The health features are almost sci-fi and I’m only beginning to scratch the surface of them. The array of sensors included is impressive. The numbers it seems to come out with all seem reassuringly plausible- for example there is a strong correlation between how fast it feels like my heart is pumping, and what the watch tells me my heart rate is.
Since the screen is so much bigger than my previous watch, with more sensors being used, I expected the battery life to be worse but it’s not. It’s pretty much the same. On a typical day I’m using about 20% of the battery capacity, or if I’ve been hammering it a bit with exercises, I’ve hit 30% usage in a day. That’s more than enough for a long weekend. A plus is that it uses the same charging base as my previous watch, which now means I can use the old one as a spare.
One thing I knew I would change is the strap. There’s nothing wrong with the silicone strap it comes with, but because this watch uses a standard watch strap size, it means you can fit any one of hundreds of different watch straps to this watch, for personalisation and for comfort. I happen to prefer fabric watch straps, so that’s what I’ve fitted.
This watch is top-of-the-range in a lot of different ways and I’m really enjoying it.

I got this to replace a first-gen Watch Active. The principle’s the same, but I’m very pleased with what a big upgrade step it’s proving to be.Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 August 2023
