I had a Watch4 Classic. Great watch. Switched to the W5 Pro for that much extended battery life, build and I was surprised how much better the screen quality/resolution is. And liking the cleaner less cluttered style, without the raised bump between the buttons.

[GraviticVortex]

At the moment I would choose:
-Watch6 Classic, if style and rotating bezel is a must have
- Watch5 Pro for best battery life by far
- Watch5 regular 44 mm in every other case, since the price is now very close to Watch4 and battery is noticeably bigger.

In all cases always opt for larger one, if it reasonably fits, since battery size and -life differences are huge between 40/41 mm and 44/45 mm versions.

I went to Best Buy and tried the Watch 6 styles on to make sure I could handle the extra 3mm on a classic. I have a very small wrist but it worked. I set up fall detection on my older Watch 4 and put it on my mom (she is in her 90's and refuses to wear a necklace) and got myself a 6 Classic. We are both very happy.

Watch 5 pro is the one for sure. Has all the biometrics, titanium durability, battery and it has the perfect size screen. Not too big or small so it's comfortable to wear asleep and during a workout.

I got a watch 4 classic LTE 46mm about a month ago for 10000Rs (~120$). I’m pretty happy with the watch. An unexpected benefit is the find my phone feature. I work in quite a big area. Might keep my phone somewhere and then go off and do work or brainstorm in another area/cubicle on the floor, once I’m done, I remember about the phone. At least now I can quickly find my phone using this feature.

One downside of the watch is that you have to keep it away from kids. My niece and nephew just want to play with it all the time. They like spinning the bezel….and it definitely won’t last long if it gets beaten up and spun around like that.

I own a Galaxy 4 Classic and recently purchased a Garmin Epix Gen 2. The $800 watch is beautifully built and the multisport and health monitoring software is fantastic. After a couple months of use later I can say that if you are not into extensive GPS use, and you are more of an urban sports person and appreciate a package that include sport, health, connectivity and "smart" features, i think Samsung does a great job and the Galaxy Watch is a solid all around option for less than half the price.

I'm a Garmin (Venu Sq2) guy, but recently bought the Galaxy 6 40mm and am really enjoying it. There's room for both IMHO. I wear the Garmin for dedicated exercise routines, workouts and days I'm wearing sweatclothes.. I wear the Galaxy for work and dinners out. The Galaxy does just fine measuring daily walks and casual stuff. I used it to to track an indoor bike session and it was on par with the Garmin in terms of burn and accuracy Both sync with MyFitnessPal and I don't see much variance in accuracy.

I view the Galaxy as an extension of my phone (Pixel 6) and as such, the battery life is fine and mirrors that of my phone. But for dedicated workouts and travel, when battery life is key, Garmin rules the roost. But the Galaxy is nicer with work clothes and does some cool phone-like things the Garmin can't. I eat apples and oranges . . . and enjoy Garmin and Galaxy. I see no conflict.

GW6 classic, giant size on my small wrist. My third GW. Just can't seem to break the addiction! I am heavy duty into exercise and I keep trying Garmins--but in the end, I do a lot of zone 2 training, so the GWs seem to track my heart rate good enough. I know when i am tired/run down, and I don't want Garmin telling me I need to rest--it's depressing. And I love the GW smartwatch features and the bezel. Even tried wearing a GW and a Garmin, but my workouts get thrown in sporadically during the day, so that was just too much of a pain. Wish Samsung would just give more attention to the fitness features and make their watches competitive with Apple. I refuse to switch from my Android phone just to use an Apple watch.

If you have the money for it, the watch 6 is the all rounder. I feel the classic version, you should just get a much cheaper normal watch. Watch 6 is fast, lighter, looks nice. Great for workouts and sleeping with. I shower and eat dinner with the watch on the charger each day, and that's all the charging it needs. If you are going out to eat, or out for the night, the battery can easily take on the extra hours. Literally hits the mark for all it was meant to be. The rotating bezzle is cool, but I wouldn't work out or sleep with it. This is my opinion 100 percent. I do rock the Galaxy watch 6, I have a pretty cool screen protector that clips on, makes it look more classy somehow, I'm glad I found it. You can find all sorts of screen protectors online.

I am using the Watch 6 Classic silver and no regrets. I really like the design and the slim bezels. The battery lasts for 30 to 40 hours as advertised.

[cms_samuel]

I purchase the watch 6 classic. Although the unit had a faulty display, Samsung did replace the display for free. Also love the rotating bezel, only reason why I went for the classic.

[robbied]

The GW6 has been just fine for me. I am coming from a Garmin (which I still use on my very long days/runs), but the GPS side-by-side with my Garmin has been great. Better than my wife's GW4 by comparison.

The watch 4 Classic (46mm) also has a rotating bezel making it satisfying to use and its much cheaper than the watch 6. Wonder why he didn't mention that, maybe trying to herd people towards the more expensive model?

[dbauernf]

Probably worth mentioning that the Watch 4 was also available (and mostly still is) in the Classic form, with the rotating bezel. Also, the Watch 4 won't be "out of date" any sooner then the Watch 5 or Watch 5 pro, remember that they share the exact same CPU and RAM! The biggest draw to the Watch5 PRO for me is the bigger battery and also faster charging compared to the Watch4. I don't think that was mentioned either. Watch 5 and 6 charge considerably faster then the 4 making the battery life a smaller problem because you can top them up quickly compared to the slow charge on the 4. So yeah, things are even more complicated then they seem, lol

[ernisn]

When you go for a short trip of a weekend or so, Watch5 Pro is just so satisfying on the battery, you don't need to think about it at all basically the whole time because it just gives you the confidence. But for others I always need to check the battery occasionally during the day to decide if I should turn on the power saving mode or remember to charge it when I go back to the hotel. This really make a difference on the experience

I'm still using my Galaxy watch 3 46mm. Had it 3 years and its been worn daily. Work hiking gym and sleeping. Still going strong. Just ordered the watch 5 Pro. If its half as good and reliable as my old one I will be happy.

[Sabitar]

Not sure if you didn't mention it because it's not sold anymore? But I've had the Watch 4 Classic since the pre-orders for it went live and I absolutely love it. I couldn't justify upgrading to the 5 because the lack of bezel, and I couldn't justify upgrading to the 6 because of the lack of unique features. A temperature sensor and different material isn't enough for me. Here's hoping the Watch 7 will be a worthy upgrade!

[darkherosolidox]

I got my watch 4 44 mm last December and I am still getting consistently 2 days with sleep tracking. Yes I love my watch 4, even tho I did want the newer watch 5 but I opted in for the cheaper watch for cause there pretty much identical.

[RealLagu]

I love the watch 5 pro. I think charging a smartwatch is still an annoying thing to do, so less charging is definitely a huge plus.
I also love the design and the titanium body. Not a fan of a rotating bezel either
