Personalized Guidance for a Healthier You — Starting With Sleep

Understanding the significance of quality sleep in overall well-being, Samsung has focused on providing meaningful insights to help users optimize their sleep patterns. The Galaxy Watch6 series offers in-depth analysis of Sleep Score Factors, including total sleep time, sleep cycle, awake time, physical, and mental recovery, allowing users to gauge the quality of their sleep each night. Co-developed with the National Sleep Foundation, the newly added Sleep Messages feature provides detailed feedback about users’ sleep health each morning.

Enhanced Sleep Coaching offers tailored instructions, tips, and reminders to improve sleep habits. Additionally, the watch can set the perfect sleep environment by automatically adjusting connected home electronics and activating Sleep Mode to mute notifications and dim the screen.

Enhanced Fitness Features for Personalized Workouts

Fitness enthusiasts can benefit from the Galaxy Watch6 series’ personalized fitness features. Body Composition measurements, including skeletal muscle, basal metabolic rate, body water, and body fat percentage, offer a comprehensive snapshot of the user’s body and fitness level. The watch also offers a new Personalized Heart Rate Zone feature that analyzes individual physical capabilities and defines five optimal running intensity levels, allowing users to set personalized workout goals.

In addition to over 100 existing workout trackers, the Galaxy Watch6 series introduces the Track Run feature to record runs on a track, and the Custom Workout feature enables users to build and track personalized workout routines.

Comprehensive Health Monitoring

The Galaxy Watch6 series goes beyond fitness tracking with advanced health monitoring capabilities. Apart from blood pressure and electrocardiogram monitoring, the new Irregular Heart Rhythm Notification feature checks for heart rhythms suggestive of Atrial fibrillation (AFib) in the background, even while the user sleeps. Fall Detection can detect falls during exercise, while standing still, or even during sleep, automatically alerting emergency services or pre-selected contacts.

Refined Design for Better Viewing and Performance

The Galaxy Watch6 series comes with all-new designs, featuring a larger and more vibrant display with a peak brightness of 2,000nits. Reading and writing are easier on the larger screen, and the Always On Display brightness adjustment ensures visibility even under bright sunlight. With a slimmer bezel and rotating bezel, the Galaxy Watch6 series offers a refined and comfortable fit.

Maximizing Your Experience Right From Your Wrist

The Galaxy Watch6 series offers enhanced capabilities to enhance the overall user experience. The Samsung Wallet combines Samsung Pay with Samsung Pass, enabling users to incorporate IDs, event tickets, boarding passes, credit cards, and membership cards into their watches. Enhanced Gesture Control allows for convenient management of the watch using simple gestures for greater accessibility.

WhatsApp integration makes it easier to stay connected, and new apps from Google Calendar and Gmail are exclusively available on Wear OS. The watch also supports apps like Peloton and MyFitnessPal for easier fitness and nutritional tracking.

Availability and Options

The Galaxy Watch6 and Galaxy Watch6 Classic are available for pre-order from July 26, with general availability starting August 11. The Galaxy Watch6 is available in 44mm (Graphite and Silver) and 40mm (Graphite and Gold), while the Galaxy Watch6 Classic comes in 47mm (Black and Silver) and 43mm (Black and Silver).

For adventure seekers, the Galaxy Watch5 Pro remains a compelling option, now with even more enhanced GPS exchange format (GPX) features.
