Samsung Galaxy Watch9 (44 mm Bluetooth) / Samsung Galaxy Watch6 Classic (47 mm)

According to Samsung, the display is larger than on the Watch4 Classic and the rotating bezel is 15% thinner. Sapphire crystal resists scratches; the bezel partly surrounds the edge of the screen.

Bioelectrical impedance analysis passes a weak current through the body when two fingers rest on the buttons to estimate muscle, fat and water; it should not be used with a pacemaker or during pregnancy. ECG and blood pressure work only in approved markets through Samsung Health Monitor.

Setup needs a phone with Google Mobile Services, Android 10 or later and more than 1.5 GB of memory; it does not work with an iPhone.

For shallow swimming; not a diving or permanent waterproofing guarantee.

Turning the bezel moves between notifications and tiles without touching the screen; its position is sensed by a 3D Hall sensor.

Samsung’s fast-charge testing used the magnetic fast-charging cable and a separately sold 25 W adapter. Battery life varies with network, usage and watch face.

LTE is only on the LTE version; on the Bluetooth version internet and notifications come through the paired phone.

5ATM corresponds to 50 metres for 10 minutes; it is not suitable for diving or high-pressure water. IP68 covers 1.5 metres in fresh water for 30 minutes.

Thickness is measured without the health sensors.
