Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced the new Galaxy Watch6 and Galaxy Watch6 Classic, designed to help users build healthier habits every day and through the night. Galaxy Watch6 series packs holistic health offerings and powerful performance in a refined and sleek design, boasting a slimmer bezel, a larger and more vibrant display, and more interactive user interface. Both models also allow users to access a greater selection of versatile watch faces as well as new band options that empower them to meet their goals.
“With the new Galaxy Watch6 and Galaxy Watch6 Classic, we are delivering on our commitment to democratize advanced health monitoring tools, now offering easier access right from the wrist,” said TM Roh, President and Head of Mobile eXperience at Samsung Electronics. “From sleep and fitness coaching to nutritional insights, Samsung is providing new and convenient ways to help users gain understanding and take action for better health and wellness, every day and every night.”
Personalized
Guidance for a Healthier You – Starting with Sleep
Galaxy Watch6
series provides meaningful insights that can lead to positive changes around
the clock, offering personalized and actionable tips, advice and encouragement.
Recognizing that better health begins with better sleep, Samsung is helping
users optimize their night in the same way they optimize their day by focusing
on three key elements of better sleep: understanding personal sleep patterns,
building better habits and establishing a sleep-friendly environment.
Building on
leading-edge sleep and wellness features, Galaxy Watch6 series now offers
in-depth analysis of Sleep Score Factors – total sleep time, sleep
cycle, awake time, plus physical and mental recovery – to help users
understand the quality of sleep received each night. More individualized Sleep
Messages5, co-developed with the National Sleep Foundation, also provide
users with detailed feedback about their sleep health each morning.
Additionally, Galaxy Watch6 offers Sleep Consistency showing how
consistent the user’s sleep and wake times are, and a designated Sleep
Animal Symbol representing their sleep type.
Enhanced Sleep
Coaching6 enables users to put sleep insights into action with tailored
instructions, tips and reminders accessible on both their wrist and paired
smartphone. When it’s time for bed, Galaxy Watch6 can help set the perfect
sleep environment by automatically changing the settings of connected home
electronics and turning on Sleep Mode across the user’s watch and phone
to mute notifications, dim screens, and even to activate the invisible LED
infrared sensor on the watch to deliver valuable health insights without
additional light distractions.
Fitness features
get more personalized to keep users motivated throughout their journey. Body
Composition, with key physical measurements like skeletal muscle, basal
metabolic rate, body water and body fat percentage, provides a complete
snapshot of the user’s body and fitness, offering a tailored approach to set
goals, track progress, and guide through personalized fitness and now
nutritional tips via a new partnership with Whisk.
A new Personalized
Heart Rate Zone feature analyzes individual physical capabilities and
defines five optimal running intensity levels to help users set their own goals
based on their ability – from burning fat to high intensity workout. In
addition to over 100 existing workout trackers, the newly added Track Run
records the user’s runs on a track, while Custom Workout allows users to
build and track their personalized workout routine.
Meanwhile, Fall Detection can gauge a fall, whether occurring during exercise, when standing still, or even while sleeping if users happen to fall out of bed. Once a fall is detected, your watch will automatically alert an emergency service number or pre-selected contacts.
Refined Design,
Perfectly Yours
Elevating the
wearable experience, Galaxy Watch6 series offers all new designs that provide
better viewing, greater power and a wider selection of more customizable and
comfortable options3.
Reading and writing
is easier on the 20% larger display, showcasing more text on screen and
a larger keyboard – all while maintaining a comfortable size. A more
vibrant, higher resolution display3 boasts a peak brightness of 2,000
nits, coupled with an Always On Display brightness adjustment
feature, allowing users to see and do more even under bright sunlight. Powered
by the enhanced processor and memory, Galaxy Watch6 delivers
smoother and faster interactions3.
Galaxy Watch6 and
Watch6 Classic come with a 30% slimmer bezel and a 15% thinner
rotating bezel respectively, enhancing the beauty of the signature circle
frame. Galaxy Watch6 series features new stylish, interactive and informative
watch faces that make the most of the large display, while new one-click
bands allow users to easily mix and match watch bands. For example, a new
lightweight Fabric Band and Sleep Coaching watch face pair perfectly to help
you gain informative sleep insights in comfort.
Galaxy Watch6 series comes with a larger battery and reduced battery consumption to support its larger and brighter display. With just eight minutes of quick charge, users can add an additional eight hours, perfect for tracking their sleep during the night.
Maximizing Your
Experience Right from Your Wrist
Galaxy Watch6
series brings greater capabilities to the wrist of every user. WhatsApp
makes it easier for Galaxy Watch users to stay connected with friends and
family, all without getting out a phone. Starting from this fall, users can
stay productive right from their watch with new apps from Google Calendar and
Gmail, which will be exclusively available on Wear OS. They can also track
fitness progress or nutritional data more easily with Peloton and MyFitnessPal
updates, and coming soon, enjoy additional streaming options with Audible.
Additionally, with the introduction of a new Skin Temperature API – a
part of the Samsung’s Privileged Health software development kit (SDK) –
partners will soon have access to advanced infrared technology for more
accurate measurements to bring a whole new world of possibilities to users. A
newly launched Thermo Check app takes advantage of the new API, allowing
users to measure the temperature of their favorite meal or the ocean before a
lap swim, contact-free.
Together with other
Samsung devices, Galaxy Watch6 series expands user experiences even further.
The upgraded Camera Controller enables remote control of a paired Galaxy
Z Flip5 camera to switch modes, angles, and zoom. Samsung Smart TV or Galaxy
Tab S9 shows the user’s progress in real time with a guided fitness or
mindfulness program on the large screen. Users can also automatically
toggle the connection of Galaxy Buds2 Pro between Samsung devices via Auto
Switch. Should users happen to misplace their phone, Galaxy Watch6 series
can now pinpoint its location through Find My Phone with map support.
And as always, personal data on the watch remains secure thanks to the Samsung Knox security platform.

Galaxy Watch6 and
Galaxy Watch6 Classic are available for pre-order in select markets from July
26, with general availability starting August 18.
