You want to buy Samsung's top 2023 smartwatch, but which is it? The Galaxy Watch 6 Classic or the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro? We've got the answer right here.
This story is part of our Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2023 coverage If you want Samsung’s top smartwatch in 2023, you now have two choices: the new Galaxy Watch 6 Classic or last year’s Galaxy Watch 5 Pro. They both have very different designs, but share some similarities in terms of technology, materials, and software.Galaxy Watch 6 Classic vs. Galaxy Watch 5 Pro: specs Galaxy Watch 6 Classic vs.
It comes with a hybrid eco-leather strap that is comfortable and stylish, while the watch itself is available in black or silver finishes. The silver with a white leather strap looks superb and is our pick of the two. The included straps use Samsung’s new one-click quick removal system, where you can push a metal button on the underside to release the pins.
The Galaxy Watch 5 Pro also has a Super AMOLED screen, but it splits the two Watch 6 Classic models with its size, as it measures 1.4 inches. The resolution is also in-between the two new smartwatches at 450 x 450 pixels, and it can also show an always-on screen. As mentioned above, the screen on both models is covered in sapphire crystal for protection and that lovely sheen that comes with it.
Both smartwatches have Samsung’s One UI 5 Watch interface, and it’s one of the easiest to use — especially with the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic’s rotating bezel. It can be more fiddly on the Watch 5 Pro’s touchscreen, but it’s mostly very well laid out and logical. Plus, it’s very colorful. Whichever you choose, it’s a very similar on-watch experience. Both also use Samsung’s own Galaxy Wearable app to connect to your phone.
The Galaxy Watch 6 Classic should give you about a day-and-a-half of use on a single charge, including sleep monitoring and a short workout, and it shouldn’t fail to last you throughout an entire day, even with longer GPS-powered excursions. Nevertheless, that falls well short of the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro’s three-day life span, leaving it the battery superstar in Samsung’s wearable range.Galaxy Watch 6 Classic vs.
