The Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 improves on many of its predecessor’s features, with an updated processor and RAM delivering enhanced performance and efficiency across the board, and new health features including a high-heart-rate alert and fall detection. It’s well designed, and shines when teamed with a Samsung phone. Its battery life isn’t as bad day-to-day as I initially thought; it's easily comparable to its competitors, but still not where I’d like it to be.

Some tracking features could be improved, but it's a comprehensive all-rounder that's easy to recommend to any Android user. It doesn't cost all that much either.
