Samsung made a few upgrades to its Galaxy Watch 6 series smartwatch this year, including a rotating dial for navigation and a new strap fastening mechanism called a "one-click system. "
Previously, users had to pull back a pin to attach or detach the strap, while the Galaxy Watch 6 uses a single button. This makes changing straps easier and faster, and the new system is also backward compatible with older smartwatches.

However, some Galaxy Watch 6 series owners have reported that the new straps can accidentally detach, pointing to a design flaw in the new "one-click" strap mechanism on the Galaxy Watch 6 series.
For users with dense wrist bones, the strap's quick-release button can be accidentally pressed, causing the strap to detach from the watch. This has led to some watches falling off people's wrists, especially during exercise.
A video posted on YouTube (link below) shows how the quick-release button can be pressed from the wrist, especially if the watch is worn tightly and low on the wrist. Some users have suggested that the watch should be worn above the wrist bone, but others argue that this is not always possible or comfortable.

Samsung hasn't addressed this issue yet, but there are a few things users can do to prevent their watches from falling off. One way is to wear the watch more loosely, as this reduces the risk of pressing the "quick release" button. Another option is to use a different strap with a pin-based mechanism. Luckily, you can use the Galaxy Watch 5, as it's also supported by the Watch 6.
Additionally, if you're considering getting the Galaxy Watch 6, it's a good idea to visit a physical store and try the watch on before you buy. This will give you a chance to try out the new strap mechanism and see if it's comfortable for you.
