Q: Questionwhat does carrier "GPS" mean exactly? how does it differ from "unlocked"(2 answers)
A: AnswerCarrier GPS means that the watch has a GPS receiver, but it does not have cellular connectivity. This means that you can use the watch to track your location and distance traveled, but you will not be able to use it to make or receive calls, send or receive text messages, or access the internet without your phone nearby. Unlocked means that the watch is not locked to a specific carrier. This means that you can use it with any cellular carrier that supports GSM or LTE. Unlocked watches are typically more expensive than carrier-locked watches, but they offer greater flexibility in terms of choosing a carrier and a cellular plan. Which type of smartwatch is right for you depends on your individual needs and preferences. If you only need a watch to track your fitness and location, then a carrier GPS watch may be a good option for you. However, if you want a watch that you can use to stay connected without your phone, then an unlocked watch is a better choice. Here are some examples of situations where you might want to use an unlocked smartwatch without your phone: You are going for a run or bike ride and don't want to carry your phone with you. You are at the gym and want to listen to music without having to carry your phone. You are on vacation and want to be able to make and receive calls and text messages without having to pay for international roaming charges. If you are considering purchasing an unlocked smartwatch, be sure to check with your cellular carrier to make sure that it is compatible with their network.Answered by NicoR
Q: QuestionDoes this watch take your blood pressure?(4 answers)
A: AnswerNo, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 BT does not take blood pressure measurements in North America. The blood pressure monitoring feature is currently only available in South Korea and other select markets. Samsung is working to obtain FDA approval for the blood pressure monitoring feature in the United States, but it is unclear when or if this will happen. In the meantime, there are a few third-party apps that can be used to measure blood pressure on the Galaxy Watch 6 BT. However, these apps are not as accurate as the built-in blood pressure monitor on the South Korean version of the watch. One such app is called My BP Lab 2.0. This app uses the watch's optical heart rate sensor to estimate blood pressure. However, it is important to note that My BP Lab 2.0 is not a medical device and should not be used to diagnose or treat high blood pressure.Answered by NicoR
Q: QuestionDoes this watch have fall detection?(4 answers)
A: AnswerYes, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 BT has fall detection. This feature uses the watch's accelerometer to detect if you have fallen. If a fall is detected, the watch will vibrate and sound an alarm. You will have the option to cancel the alarm or to send an SOS message to your emergency contacts. To enable fall detection on the Galaxy Watch 6 BT, follow these steps: Open the Galaxy Wearable app on your phone. Tap Watch settings. Tap Safety and emergency. Tap Hard fall detection. Tap the toggle switch next to Hard fall detection to turn it on. You can also customize the fall detection settings to choose how long you have to cancel the alarm before an SOS message is sent. Fall detection is a valuable safety feature for older adults and people with disabilities. It can help to ensure that you receive help quickly if you have a fall.Answered by NicoR

Probably the best Android Wear watch
I've had a couple of the previous Galaxy watches (Galaxy Watch 3, and a Galaxy Watch Active 2) and I can confidently say it's the best one yet. Compared to Samsung's older watches that ran Tizen this watch has way more apps and features since it runs Wear OS. As such you can actually use Google Wallet instead of being limited to just using Samsung Pay like my Active 2. At the same time the controls are basically identical to older Samsung watches. There's really no learning curve coming from an older Samsung watch aside from using Google Play to download apps to the watch. The Watch 6 is fairly comfortable with the stock band but I would suggest buying a different one if you have a smaller wrist or you don't like silicone bands. Changing bands is very simple. The watch itself looks nice but not too flashy. Battery life is pretty good for a smart watch, it usually lasts 2-3 days on a charge but your milage might vary. I usually charge it every other day to make sure my battery isn't low at work but I do occasionally forget to charge it and it still lasts the entire 3rd day with about 10-15% left at bed time. Overall I really like the Watch 6, compared to every other smart watch I've had this one is by far my favorite.

Very helpful device
Exactly what I was looking for in a smart watch, and met all my expectations. Only real downside is heavy users will likely be upset at the battery life. I don't do a lot extra with it, and a charge can last me two days. I got an aftermarket band because I find the silicone to be too grabby for my skin, but I have skin conditions (main issue, psoriasis). Its easy to forget its on. I am also a smaller person (chronically scrawny-looking), wrist diameter around 7 inches, and the 44mm turned out to be probably the most perfect size for me. I'm pretty rough, I'm always moving, and usually moving large, bulky, heavy things. Its held up really well despite being smacked into or against a variety of materials a good few times. I try not to drop it, but I did accidentally drop it onto a tile floor and it survived. Don't recommend though, tile likes to kill screens. The health monitoring features have been very useful as well. My own watch pointed out that I should get a sleep apnea test, which (unfortunately) came back as a yes to the dx. I got one for my partner as well, and it pointed out some health problems that he is now seeking specialists for.
