Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Classic Is on Sale at Its Lowest Price Ever
If you’re an Android user looking to upgrade your smartwatch game, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Classic is now available for $219.99 (down from $399.99), its lowest price ever, according to Price -Trackers . Available in 43mm and 47mm sizes (which cost $30 more), the Watch 6 Classic features a stainless steel case, a sophisticated eco-leather strap, and a rotating bezel. Besides giving it a premium look, the frame also enhances functionality and protects the always-on Super AMOLED display (which boasts up to 2,000 nits of brightness, making it easy to read even in direct sunlight). However, keep in mind that using the display at full brightness can significantly drain the battery. Samsung says battery life with the display always on is up to 30 hours, but heavy use may require daily charging.
Built to last, the Watch 6 Classic is 5 ATM waterproof, IP68 rated and MIL-STD-810H rated, making it resistant to dust, water, extreme temperatures, vibration and shock. In other words, you can take it anywhere (if you’re an Android user; the Watch 6 Classic doesn’t support iOS). Additionally, the 2GB RAM and 16GB internal storage are said to provide smooth and responsive performance, with apps loading quickly and the interface running smoothly. For connectivity, the Watch 6 Classic offers Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, with the option to add LTE connectivity for an additional $50. It should be noted that while this smartwatch can be combined with third-party Android devices, some features are exclusive to Samsung Galaxy phones.
The Watch 6 Classic runs on Samsung’s Wear OS 4 and One UI 5, which is said to offer a smooth and customizable user experience. Plus, it supports a wide range of apps, from Google Maps to Spotify, and integrates seamlessly with Samsung Galaxy devices. Health tracking is also a major focus, including features such as heart rate monitoring, ECG readings, blood pressure monitoring, and sleep tracking, among others. However, according to this PCMag review , the Watch 6 Classic exhibits a slight delay in detecting rapid changes in heart rate. If you’re considering other options, the Google Pixel Watch, at $173.98 (down from $189), is a solid alternative.
