Samsung Galaxy Watch6.
The Korean giant is persevering in the connected GPS watch market. This summer, it launched the Galaxy Watch6 powered by WearOS and which is characterized by a magnificent circular screen measuring 3.7 cm in diameter! Multimedia test of the Korean’s elegant watchmaking flagship sold from 349 francs in Bluetooth version and 399 francs for the 4G version.
As soon as you unbox it, you appreciate the size of this beautiful screen which is also very bright. Obviously, we start by completely recharging this Watch6 using the magnetic and contactless charging device which ends with a USB-C plug, connecting to a compatible charger, not supplied. Specifications.
Implementation route
This done, it is true that getting started takes a little time, perhaps due to updates and especially the pairing process with the smartphone, in my case, the Galaxy Z Fold5, of which here is the test complete multimedia under Android 14 and One UI 6. An ideal device for viewing sports results, but which is rather used on multiple tables…
In fact, synchronization is done through the Samsung Galaxy Wear application. But you also have to use Samsung Galaxy Health to be able to appreciate its efforts. Finally, Samsung Galaxy Health Monitor allows you to perform electrocardiograms (ECG) and measure your blood pressure following calibration.
Very smooth navigation
Navigation in the watch is presented when starting the touch watch. For example, by sliding your finger up and down, you access different options, such as the selection of cinema or sleep modes, not to mention the classics like “do not disturb”, general settings or even a power saving mode. energy.
In reality, the watch is very fluid and it is pleasant to navigate on this beautiful screen. For those nostalgic for “complications”, Samsung allows you to finely adjust the dials and options displayed from Galaxy Wear. But in this case, given the ease of use of such a watch, we should rather talk regarding “simplifications”!
On the right side of the dial, two buttons allow you to wake the watch and go back. With the touch screen, it must be admitted that on the navigation side, there is nothing to say. The system is fast and smooth. Furthermore, the default health-oriented applications are very clear, fast and efficient.
First tests in action
As the weeks went by, I continued my tests on foot and by bike. By using different settings, you can ensure that the screen always stays on so you don’t miss any important numbers during training. Obviously, in this case, the theoretical autonomy of 40 hours suffers.
On the way, I notably compared the values displayed to a Polar Grit X Pro Titan. I was thus able to see that the precision of the various measurements displayed, in particular the heart rate. In addition, acquisition of the satellite network is quick and efficient, even when going out without your smartphone.

Detailed maps
Back home, we turn to the Samsung Health application to relive our workout. There you can find essential information such as time, distance covered, average heart rate and the different values along the route in different graphs. A card allows you to relive your session. The screenshots opposite show these possibilities in detail.
But the Galaxy Watch6 has more than one thing up its sleeve. In addition to evaluating your sleep, thanks in particular to its two keys, you can measure your body fat, your stress and do an electrocardiogram. It is now even possible to measure your blood pressure, but be careful, in this case, you must calibrate the watch with an external blood pressure monitor.
Voltage measurement and final assessment
On one wrist we wear the Galaxy Watch6 and on the other arm we have to use a blood pressure monitor. Samsung requires three measurements taken with the blood pressure monitor and the watch in parallel to calibrate it. Once this process is completed, you can then use your watch to obtain a value to perhaps take with a certain perspective.
In the end, despite an insufficient autonomy of around a day and a half, we really appreciated this beautiful watch, its superb screen, its ergonomics and in general the overall user experience between this device and Samsung’s applications, which might improve ‘elsewhere perhaps be one.
