The watches also support fast charging.

Both the Galaxy Watch6 series watches run on the latest Wear OS 4 platform by Google, with Samsung’s OneUI 5 Watch UI on top. 

All models in the Watch6 series are water resistant up to 5ATM, and are IP68 and MIL-STD-810H certified, and offers personalized sleep guidance and fitness features—including heart health monitoring and fall detection.
