Customer Review
Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2024
I bought the Galaxy Watch 6 so that I could monitor my heart rate, sleep and steps. I particularly needed the availability of taking ECGs to discover Afib. I've worn it for 2+ weeks and am very pleased. The watch paired well with my older S10+ phone and was easy to set up. The display is beautiful and easy to read. I have used the ECG feature many times; I do get some "Poor Recording" notices but generally it seems easy to use once you get the hang of it. I particularly like the Sleep Coaching tips.
The only complaints that I have are:
1. The charger did not come with a wall plug and none of the many that I had on hand worked with it. Some prior notification would have been nice so that I could have ordered the Samsung wall plug to arrive at the same time. Annoying.
2. The battery life is not good. Even with the Always on Display off, I charge it at least once daily and top it off before bed because sleep tracking is important to me.
3. I'm not convinced that the heart rate is accurate. The resting heart rate seems correct but I've noticed that, when I take it off of the charger, the heart rate on the watch soars even if I have not been doing much.
4. I did not love the silicone band which came with the watch. I bought one of the Samsung Hybrid T-bands and it is much better primarily due to the tail of the band not going underneath.
I would definitely recommend this watch if you are already in the Samsung universe. The ease of use with my older Galaxy phone was well worth it. If you can get it at a reduced price - as I did - it's a slam dunk.
