Third-party reviews

What customers like about Skagen Falster Gen 6

  • Sleek, minimalist Scandinavian design often cited as one of the best-looking smartwatches
  • Incredibly fast charging speeds, significantly outpacing competitors like the Galaxy Watch
  • Smooth and snappy performance thanks to the Snapdragon Wear 4100+ platform
  • High-quality, bright AMOLED display with good viewing angles
  • Functional physical controls, including a smooth rotating crown for scrolling

What customers don't like about Skagen Falster Gen 6

  • Mediocre battery life that typically requires daily charging, sometimes struggling to last a full 24 hours
  • Inaccurate health tracking, specifically regarding GPS, heart rate, and blood oxygen (SpO2) readings
  • Wear OS software can feel clunky or inconsistent, with some users reporting bugs during updates
  • Limited variety in first-party watch faces and lack of advanced biometric features compared to rivals
  • Reported hardware quirks, such as the watch getting very warm during charging or setup

Verdict

The Skagen Falster Gen 6 is a minimalist 41mm or 42mm smartwatch featuring a 1.28-inch AMOLED display (326 ppi) and a sleek Danish-inspired stainless steel case. Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 4100+ platform with 1GB of RAM and 8GB of storage, it offers snappy performance on Wear OS and includes upgraded health sensors for continuous heart rate, SpO2 (blood oxygen), and sleep tracking. Main pros include its highly praised industrial design, tactile rotating crown, and rapid charging that reaches 80% in approximately 30 minutes. However, it suffers from mediocre battery life typically lasting only 24 hours, lacks an IP rating for dust and water protection despite its 3 ATM swim-proof rating, and the stock Wear OS experience can feel clunky compared to competitors.
