Samsung has been making smartwatches for a few years now, so it’s probably not a surprise that the Galaxy Watch 6 is a pretty sleek device.

It’s been a few years since I spent any significant time with a Galaxy Watch, so it was a pleasant surprise to find just how far the wrist-bound wearable has come.

It’s (mostly) easy to use, has plenty of functionality for all types of fitness and health tracking, and has a nice, bright screen. 

You can tell that it’s definitely designed to be used alongside a Galaxy smartphone, which may limit its appeal to some customers. But as a companion to the Galaxy Z Fold 5 or even the Galaxy S23 Ultra, it makes a fine wearable.
