Samsung has launched the next iteration of its smartwatches, the Galaxy Watch 6 and Galaxy Watch 6 Classic. The latest and greatest Galaxy Watches ship with Wear OS 4 and have the best new features, including app folders and custom colors in One UI Watch 5.
With the Galaxy Watch 6 series, you also have advanced sleep coaching for better sleep tracking and Food and Drug Administration-certified heart rhythm notification tracking, as well as ECG measurements for irregular heart rhythms.
