Jakarta –
Even though it was launched with the Galaxy Z Flip 5 which brought many changes, it didn’t necessarily make the Galaxy Watch 6 go unnoticed. The updates presented by Samsung make this new smartwatch tempting.
As a successor to the Galaxy Watch 5, this smart watch should be equipped with improvements. But sometimes new features are just gimmicks.
So how about the Galaxy Watch 6? The following is detikINET’s experience for a week using this Rp. 4 million smartwatch.
Design
The Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 unit reviewed by detikINET measures 44 mm. But this clock has a smaller size, which is 40 mm.
In appearance it is still similar to its predecessor. However, when observed closely there are some subtle changes made by Samsung.
The frame that flanks the body of this clock is parallel to the screen. Previously the frame was made lower than the screen.

The Galaxy Watch 6 body looks thinner than before. When worn, the weight feels lighter than Watch 5, making it comfortable to use while sleeping.
Having a silver metal frame gives a premium impression, combined with a silicone strap that makes it comfortable to wear all day. Samsung provides many new straps, from fabric to stainless steel.
Samsung makes it easy for users to attach a strap. Just press the button on the band, the pairing process only takes a few seconds.

Users don’t need to worry about using this smart watch when doing activities in water or sports. This is because Watch 6 has pocketed IP68 which means it is resistant to water and dust, as well as the MIL-STD-810G military standard.
Watch 6 has two physical buttons on its right side. Its function is not just navigation, the button is used to read body composition, pause training, or turn off this watch manually.
On the bottom of both watches is the Samsung BioActive Sensor, which monitors heart rate and blood oxygen levels.
There are interesting details provided by Samsung and deserve appreciation. Watch 6 is able to recognize wrist movements.
So when the hand is pointing down, the screen doesn’t turn on even if the wrist is moved. The new screen turns on when the wrist is lifted and pointed at the user.
Screen
The Galaxy Watch 6 screen uses a Super AMOLED panel with a resolution of 480 x 480 pixels which displays very bright and sharp images. The screen size is 1.5 inches, its predecessor was 1.4 inches.

The 0.1 inch increase was thanks to Samsung cutting the bezel size by 30%. The impact is that the screen is more spacious when viewed even though the size is still the same as Watch 5.
The increase in brightness from 1,000 nits to 2,000 nits is useful when using the Watch 6 outside. Information on the screen is still clearly legible even when under the hot sun.
As before, we only need to swipe down, up, right and left on the screen to navigate.
Sleep Quality
One of Samsung’s most highlighted features on the Watch 6 is monitoring the user’s sleep quality. The technology giant from South Korea reasons that quality sleep is important for maintaining physical and mental health so that activity remains optimal.
Because of that, Watch 6 is now equipped with a more comprehensive Sleep Score Factor analysis that collects sleep time, sleep cycle, wake time, skin temperature plus physical and mental recovery data to help users understand sleep quality.
Every morning, we can see sleep statistics via the Watch 6 screen. The information displayed starts from the duration of REM, deep and light sleep.

After a week of use, the watch will display an animal icon that best represents the sleeping behavior. detikINET get a lion icon.
But that’s not limited, after getting the animal icon, Samsung provides Sleep Coaching to help users get even better quality sleep. The tips provided by Sleep Coaching are displayed on the Samsung Health application on the cellphone.
