[VERGE] Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 series review: refined, but not revolutionary
An iterative update is okay for now, but maybe not next year.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
The Pixel Watch also already supports heart rate zones, though the first-gen device is a bit behind as far as track runs, custom workouts, and temperature data.
I would’ve liked to see improved accuracy on the fitness tracking front, but it’s still roughly the same as last year: mostly great as far as steps and heart rate go, with the occasional wonkiness with regard to GPS distance.
The Galaxy Watch 6 series can now passively monitor for irregular heart rhythm notifications in the background — a feature that was recently cleared by the FDA.
If you disable the always-on display, enable bedtime mode, limit notifications to the essentials, and sparingly use LTE, GPS, or continuous health monitoring?
Once you turn on more power-intensive settings, the battery life takes a hit, particularly with continuous SpO2, snore detection, and skin temperature readings during sleep.
If you’ve been holding on to a Tizen OS smartwatch, now is a good time to upgrade, as support for the Galaxy Watch 3 is only guaranteed through this month.
