Today’s Galaxy Unpacked event gave us the first look at the brand-new Samsung Galaxy Watch 6. Here’s everything you need to know about the smartwatch, including how to buy it today.
The brand-new Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 offers tools to help you exercise, navigate, monitor your sleep and health, plus more, but how does it compare with its predecessor, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5? The RadioTimes.com Technology team has everything you need to know from today’s Galaxy Unpacked event.
Can you believe there once was a time that the watch on our wrist simply told the time? It didn’t monitor our health, help us on our fitness journey, or manage our calls, texts and emails — how boring! Nowadays, smartwatches help us achieve our fitness and health goals, as well as manage notifications without the need to bring our mobile phone around with us.
The Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 aims to do all of that and more with its more personalised health experience, upgraded sleep tracking, and Sleep coaching, which endeavours to help you get a good night's sleep.
