We’re making a Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 release date, plus shedding some light on the specs.
The Samsung Galaxy Unpacked event on July 26th formally announced the Watch 6 and there’s been lots of bombshells. As we suspected, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 has been announced, with a standard and Classic model. Other good-looking products could be announced alongside the Watch 6, including the Galaxy ZFold 5, Flip 5 and Tab S9 series, but for now, let’s shine the light on the former.
Anyone familiar with Samsung Watch might now be wondering how the Watch 6 compares to the Watch 5. While the Classic Watch 6 means the return of the devilishly simple rotating bezel, we think the Watch 5 is still probably worth it in 2023, especially now that it’s discounted.
