Determine your orientation
A watch Galaxy Watch6 are packed with sensors, from an advanced EKG sensor to a simpler but very useful gyroscope, which the watch needs for features like wake-up, detection of some fitness activities, and more. That is also why it is good to tell the watch which wrist you actually have it on, and if you want, change the orientation of the side buttons.

Change button functionality
Hotkeys are a great way to quickly access your favorite apps. IN Settings find Advanced features and select Customize buttons. By default, double-tapping the home button will open your most recent app, but you can change this to whatever installed app you open most often.

Press and hold to open Bixby, but you can change that to Google Assistant or the Off menu if you prefer. Finally, tap the Back button to return to the last screen you were on. If you'd rather change it to View recent apps, you can.
Set your watch face
Galaxy Watch6 have dozens of pre-built watch faces that they offer out of the box and before you even try to download third-party apps like Facer, which will expand your options even further. You can stick with the default watch face, which shows too little information, or see what the other options have to offer.
Open the application Galaxy Wearable on the paired phone and tap the option dials. Select any watch face that you find interesting and it will be added to your favorites and automatically set on the watch display. Above you can tap on Adapt and determine the background, style of the watch, colors and variants of complications, their layout and much more, which depends on the type of dial selected.
If you don't already know, complications are individual data fields that appear on more detailed watch faces. Some watch faces have space for large widgets, such as daily activity, results of the last workout, sleep data, weather forecast, etc. Otherwise, you can add shortcut buttons for specific apps, exercise activities, favorite contacts, routines, etc. in smaller fields.

You can do everything on your watch, but it's a bit more lengthy and less clear. You change the dials on the watch by holding your finger on it for a longer time. You can add more via Plus at the end of the list.
Adjust the display timeout interval
To save battery life, your Galaxy Watch6 will turn off the display after just 15 seconds of inactivity. 5 seconds after that it will take you back to the main screen. You may not be satisfied with this also because you will have to re-enter the PIN that you need when Google Pay is activated.
To extend this interval, open Settings -> Display. Here you can turn on adaptive brightness or Always On Display, you can activate or deactivate options such as Wake up by raising your wrist or Wake up by touching the screenIn Galaxy Watch6 Classic by turning the bezel. While all of these options are important, your first step should be to change your screen timeout settings.

But what is ideal? It depends on each of us what suits whom. Personally, I have set the golden mean, i.e. 30 seconds and 2 minutes for applications. This simply ensures that a momentary inattention doesn't send you back to square one, saving you from constantly twisting your wrists or tapping the screen. But be careful here, of course it will shorten the battery life a bit.
Activate regular health monitoring
By default it sensors Galaxy Watch6 they don't do as much as they could. You have to activate them yourself. Therefore, first open the application on the watch Samsung health. Scroll all the way down and tap on Settings.
When you click on Heart beat, it is definitely advisable to have continuous measurement turned on here. Below you can also manually select values for heart rate alerts, both high and low. You can continuously measure i Stress, if you want to be alerted when your Heart Rate Variance (HRV) shows too much stress during the day. You may want to turn on metering as well Oxygen levels during sleep, detection Snoring (if you don't snore, it's a good idea to turn off the function, because you'll save battery), or skin temperature during sleep.

If you want your watch to track your heart rate as well, you'll need to download an app Samsung Health Monitor from Galaxy Store and approve various permissions before you can passively control AFib issues.
Enable developer settings
There are certain functions Galaxy Watch6, which you can only enable through the developer tools. IN Settings scroll all the way down and select About the watch and then Informace about the software. Tap the button five times Software version. You will see a pop-up window Developer mode has been turned on.

Swipe back two screens and you'll see the new Developer Options under About Watch. Tap on them and you'll see a full list of options that you can't normally access. For example, you can have the watch have its display on while charging and act as an alarm clock, vibrate when it connects or disconnects from the network, show your touches on the screen, or slow down or speed up transition animations.
Not suitable as a sports watch. From the first ones watch are still inaccurate in measuring heart rate. Or in the morning I put on my watch and walk 10 meters to the toilet and I've already taken maybe 100 steps.
So completely different. I have watch od watch 1 of each model. Step measurement is absolutely accurate, never a problem, not even u watch 6. So you just mix the crap. But thanks for such shovels that always amuse others 🙂 Heart rate just fine. can i guess Has anyone written who owns a Chinese bream for a few hundred?
Otherwise, dear editors, what you wrote here is good nonsense.
