    i like the detail you put on this review rather than just repeating the manufacturer booklet
  • @talkinglion3223
    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
  • @iamveggie
    Amazing review as always. And this came at the perfect time (pun) for me. Thanks for the upload man 🙌🏿
  • @e79905
    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
  • @spansinspain
    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.
  • @jasonculver3516
    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.
  • @MrArtty31
    Great video man!! Keep them coming.
  • @KelvinTang
    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.
  • @BonesTW1847
    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.
  • @ebolacius
    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😊
  • @DR-te8mc
    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.
  • @subteej
    That workout tracker is no nonsense and I'd love that
  • @RWayne3326
    This is one of the most impressive and detailed reviews I have seen for a product of any type. A++ Well done!
