Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Classic lives up to its name. It's big and bold as a classic wearable should be but the 47mm model we tested is almost too big and heavy. It's a great sleep companion if you don't mind not sleeping. A least the looks, sensors, and overall operation are top-notch. It even has surprisingly good battery life. Is the bezel and this size necessary? No. Would we recommend the smaller, lighter 43mm model? Probably.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Classic is the best Android smartwatch you can buy. It has an excellent screen, great fitness tracking and options, and decent battery life if you fiddle with the settings. But it’s still annoying you need a Samsung phone to use every feature.
