Samsung has revealed the next iteration of its smartwatches, the Galaxy Watch 6 and Galaxy Watch 6 Classic, during its July 2023 Galaxy Unpacked event. The latest and greatest Galaxy Watches will ship with Wear OS 4 and have the best new features, including app folders and customer colors in One UI Watch 5.
With the Galaxy Watch 6 series, you’ll have advanced sleep coaching for better sleep tracking, improved heart rate tracking with FDA-certified heart rhythm notification tracking, as well as ECG measurements for irregular heart rhythms.
