Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Classic equips Physical Rotating Bezel
Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Classic will be equipped with a physical rotating bezel. The company managed to release both rotating bezel and touch bezel smartwatches until the Galaxy Watch 4, but it ditched the physical rotating bezel with the Galaxy Watch 5 lineup.
A reliable tipster said that the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 lineup’s top model returns to a physical rotating bezel. The same source earlier revealed that there will be Watch 6 and Watch 6 Classic, in which the Classic is replacing the Pro branding.
In addition, Ice pointed out that the Watch 6 Classic will have a narrow bezel, hinting at a slimmer rotating bezel than the Watch 4 Classic. This way, the company can spotlight the difference between both models of its next smartwatch lineup, which was reduced last year.
On a device with a rotating bezel, the bezel is a physical controller, which rotates along the outer edge of the display and the user interface reacts to the rotation of the bezel. The user interacts with the device by rotating the bezel or touching the screen.
Earlier, the Chinese certification site listed all Galaxy Watch 6 series models, revealing the dial size and battery capacity. Since there’s a single variant of the Watch 5 Pro, it’s not the same case with Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 6 Classic and it could be available in 42mm and 46mm dial sizes.
- Watch 6 40mm: 300mAh
- Watch 6 Classic 42mm: 300mAh
- Watch 6 44mm: 425mAh
- Watch 6 Classic 46mm: 425mAh
Back in 2021, the company ditched its conventional Tizen OS operating system from the Galaxy Watch lineup. The Watch 4 series was the first to run One UI Watch based on Google’s Wear OS wearable platform. It’s confirmed that the Galaxy Watch 6 will also run Wear OS with further optimizations.
Samsung could introduce an affordable pair of wireless earbuds – Galaxy Buds FE in early October. As we wait for an official announcement, renders and specs of the OnePlus Buds Pro 3 leak.
According to the info, the OnePlus Buds Pro 3 renders show it looks identical to its predecessor. Design-wise, the only change that can be seen is the metallic finish on the earbuds, while the weight could be 4.77 grams each.

OnePlus Buds Pro 3 reportedly packs 10.4mm (woofer) and 6mm (tweeter). The upcoming earbuds are also said to bring 48dB Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) support as well as IP55 rating for dust and water resistance.
Additionally, the earbuds will have Bluetooth v5.3, Google Fast pair, and dual connection support. It’s said that the battery life could be 9 hours, similar to the Buds 2 Pro when ANC is turned off.
September 2023 is going on and Samsung has started releasing a new update for Galaxy Watch 6 and Galaxy Watch 6 Classic in India. This update brings the June 2023 security patch to improve system security.
The latest software improves system stability and reliability to provide a better performance and bug-free experience. However, the official changelog nowhere mentions that the update brings any features with the smartwatches.
Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 series users can identify the September 2023 update in India with the ending version AWI1. It carries an updated package size of 171.38MB.
Users can download this update through the Galaxy wearable app on a connected Android phone and navigate to Watch settings >> Watch software update >> Download and install. If an update is available, tap the Update now option, and on the Watch software update’ screen, tap Install now.

Thanks to Samsung’s research partnership, the Galaxy Watch 6 revolutionizes running with the University of Michigan Exercise & Sport Science Initiative. This collaboration is launched to help runners manage their health and physical activity by providing more reliable and accurate data.
The Michigan Performance Research Laboratory (MiPR) — ESSI’s core research lab — will oversee an eight-month study that uses the Galaxy Watch series to estimate the VO2 max and sweat loss of participants as they run.

The study will compare reference data against smartwatch data from both indoor (treadmill) and outdoor running trials of different distances, from 2.5km to 20km.
Runners at all levels grapple with sweat loss, dehydration and heat management, particularly during the summer months. Samsung and University of Michigan teams hope the study’s findings will further enhance smartwatch technology, giving runners more accurate measurements of their health metrics.

Samsung’s new Galaxy Watch 6 and Watch 6 Classic feature personalized fitness coaching, advanced sleep management, and health monitoring. For runners, the new Personalized Heart Rate Zone feature provides five optimal running intensity levels based on individual physical capabilities.
Additionally, Track Run helps runners record their runs while on a running track. During a run, Galaxy Watch provides in-depth analysis including asymmetry, regularity, and ground contact time to help improve performance and reduce injury.
