It's apparently going to be at least 10% faster than its predecessor.

    Watch 5 has battery of 1 day life,sometimes not even 1.It is ridiculous amount of money for such battery life.I wonder if Watch 6 solved problems about batttery.It is absolutely useless if you put all functions,but battery discharges faster or the same as on phone.

      Why many people buy huawei watchs against Samsung and others?
      Its simple battery
      Samsung watch 5 pro 3 days (some kind 4 days)
      Huawei watch 3 pro 4 days will all on and stream spotify
      (some kind 5-6 days)
      Looks really great and for me most important is sapphire glass.
      Yes I tired charge watch everyday. And ye si use sleep tracker so no charging over night.

      What is problem is limited on function ( payments not work)
      Some hardest install apps what is not on app store.

      If someone not speaking just samsung does similar watch with full function and proper app store then will win all this segment.

      Every watch has some limitations.

        who names these chips?
        1st gen: W920
        2nd gen: W980
        3rd gen: rebrand needed because numbers have reached the limit 🙄 probably W9600
        4th gen: W9900
        5th gen: rebrand again

            So battery might last for 2 pathetic days instead of 1. Right...

              What was stopping them from doing all this "bigger butter" 4-5 years ago.

                  "Tiny, incremental enhancements" are just not good enough. Do a 'leap frog' and eliminate the black ring (bezels) stealing screen space. This is the major thing putting me off from buying Samsung again.

                      Ive used watch 4 anf watch4 classic and both of them are terrible in performance.
                      They are slow and lags for simple tasks like opening phone app and calling a contact from the watch

                        Bring back Tizen! Okay it's possible the features aren't as complete as wearOS, but at least Tizen is far more battery friendly than wearOS. And ofc, with this, Samsung doesn't need to be too attached to Google.

                            I got the first Gear S3 classic. This will be my next watch if it turns out to be good. Hyped!

                              Who cares? My Galaxy Watch5 is plenty fast. What it needs is efficiency improvements, that 10% extra performance will be unnoticeable, but 20-30% better battery life would be massive!
