i like the detail you put on this review rather than just repeating the manufacturer booklet
-
Lovd the video! I just bought the watch 6 as my first smartwatch to track runs and track my steps. It has now become an important part of my set up.

NFC pincode step is in effort to eliminate hackers using NFC in your proximity, stealing your card info or charging your watch as you walk by them
-
Amazing review as always. And this came at the perfect time (pun) for me. Thanks for the upload man 🙌🏿
-
Missed your videos, great as always.
-
@JSyntax there's the tap, double tap, triple tap, and ball your hand in a fist gesture under accessibility. That allows you to navigate around the watch, select items, go back a page, etc.

Galaxy watch 5, thought eating pasta for 10 minutes, is sleeping.,... and got 16minutes of deepsleep

That was a really good review. Well done and thanks from Sunny Spain

Late response - but I went back and fourth on buying this watch. I'm a natty bodybuilder, road cyclist and I'm a Torontonian as well. Essentially needed something for work, and to check my steps so I don't need to constantly grab my phone as I feel like it's taking over my life. It's because of this review I decided to buy it. Thanks man, it has improved my daily tasks/activities tremendously.

Thanks for such a thorough unbiased review. This is extremely useful information. Also love that you use the regular S23 like I do. We are in the minority but just love the size its not so heavy and clunky.
-
Great video man!! Keep them coming.
-
Excellent review! I enjoyed it!
-
great review !!!! so good
-
Great review! Thanks man for reviewing it. I learned a lot about watch 6. And I also used the white S/M fabric band and it's extremely comfortable.

I’ve had several Garmin watches and the Samsung watch 3. I’ve just bought the Samsung watch 6. Yours is a truly amazing video. I’ve learned so much. Thank you. I would encourage anyone to watch your channel. Now that I have discovered your channel, I’m looking for the next production from you.
-
Thank you for this awesome review❤ It was really detailed with every information you need. I found this channel just a few weeks ago but i love it😅Keep going with your cool reviews! Also greetings from Germany thats why my english isn't that good😊

Great video, i was vascillating between a 5 pro, 6 classic and the 6 44mm, however after this video i went into the store and compared sizes, and realised that the 40 mm, was a good choice..I have ordered my 40 mm, thank you for the informative video.
-
Very good, well thought out, detailed, useful info review. I thought the camera function was gimmicky but this is the first explanation I’ve seen for using it to frame shots for youtube videos. Seems like a great idea. I think maybe the larger classic model would be even more useful in that use-case. BTW, I have the s23 plus. Possibly smaller minority than s23 owners.

That workout tracker is no nonsense and I'd love that
-
This is one of the most impressive and detailed reviews I have seen for a product of any type. A++ Well done!
