Samsung just unveiled its Galaxy Watch 6 series at Unpacked — and it’s all about the bezels. Both the physical rotating bezel, and the thinner bezels around the displays. But is it a good thing when the update you’re most excited about is an old feature making a comeback?

Wish you could rotate anything else in your life?
Me with my galaxy watch 3 😮😮
Give me the 6 classic with the 5 pro battery life and I'm will drop 500 no problem
Watch not connected icon keeps me away from embracing this watch. I literally hate this icon
I loved your video informative No Nonsense! Bezels bezels bezels, love my rotating bezel ❤
At 6:10 incorrect information was provided about the Camera controller app, it applies for more phones than just the new ones, I can confirm it back till the s23 series and it works on the older watch 5 pro confirmed other devices are likely
The future îs digital……not an ancient rotating bezel.
The "new" chip is practically the same on real perfornance as the chip on watch5.
The watch 5 sales where low since the removal of the turning bezel. With it brought back I already pre ordered mine and can't wait
The battery power is less with the 6!
Great video. Good job
I literally just got a 5 pro 2 weeks ago lol
The Watch 5 you can take pictures with it
Just a random point:
But when she's saying the specifications on the watch, it'd be cool if they were displayed on the screen.
Either way, loved the video!
Thanks Verge.
I honestly thought the removal of the bezel was just a marketing ploy for the next year… Because it was so obviously irrational.
dammit im so torn between the regular and the classic. i've just been poisoned by that darn rotating bezel clickety-click!!!
God please shut up with everything that makes a cool sound being "satisfying".
VO2max?
How long does it take for Samsung watches to get a gps signal for exercise? Garmin takes forever
Yup I got the 4 classic and use it every day, I was upset the 5 didn't have the rotating bezel and as soon as I seen the 6, I immediately pre-ordered!
I'd really love to see you doing more reviews, love your style!
what color is your favorite?
Some stupid gimmick scroll wheel at the cost of battery life, GPS route tracking, and material quality? Yeah no thanks, the Pro 5 beats everything the 6 series is offering quite handily.
Not worth buying any wearable (watches included) that cannot last for a few days at least. Amazfit and other OEMs are already able to squeeze many functionalities in 7-10 days lasting watches. Ditching WearOS would be a great sign for the overall industry.
Yet another upgrade skip, galaxy watch 4 let's go!!!
Im one of the rare ones that went from watch 3 with bezel ring to watch 6 without. I use it while working and those Bezels are hard to protect while still being able to use it. Im a plumber so protection is key for me.
Does it have Audible app?
I'm on my second Active2… Don't like the new ones because of wear os.
