As of July 26, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 and Galaxy Watch 6 Classic are available to preorder following Samsung’s Unpacked event.
Samsung Unpacked took place on July 26 and brought with it a whole bunch of new product announcements, including the tech giant’s next generation of foldable phones, their latest tablets, and more. Not the least of which was the reveal of the Galaxy Watch 6 and Galaxy Watch 6 Classic, Samsung’s latest pieces of smart bling that are meant to contend with the ubiquitous Apple Watch.
Both watch models are already available to preorder on Samsung’s direct site, and will ship out on Aug. 11. The Galaxy Watch 6 starts at $299.99, and the Classic version will begin at $399.99, with prices increasing as you add on extras like larger screen sizes and LTE support.
Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 6 comes with a sleek new look, including a less pronounced bezel, two screen size options (40mm and 44mm), and a Gold color option (in addition to Graphite and Silver). The Classic model of the Galaxy Watch 6 brings back the rotating bezel, comes in larger sizes for those who prefer it (43mm and 47mm), and comes in Black and Silver. Both variations feature 2GB of RAM, 16GB of storage, and 30 to 40 hours of battery life depending on if you utilize the Always On mode or not. When it comes to what the new watches can actually do, the most notable highlights include a new sleep coach function and a “personalized heart rate zone” feature.
If you’re in the market for a new smartwatch, Samsung’s new players are definitely worth checking out — pre-order the Galaxy Watch 6 or Galaxy Watch 6 Classic to get yours when they launch on Aug. 11.
