With the launch of watch6, I was able to get watch4 at a massive discounted price of @46mm LTE classic at $140
So far, so good. 👍

Galaxy watch 4 user here, have WhatsApp on it too np so far and yea it's updated so not lacking behind either. So happy Samsung brought back the classic watch series.

Unpopular opinion: the larger bezel on the Silver Watch 4 Classic looks better.

I love your style of video. The quick cuts to different showcases of the watches and things, all while explaining to the point and not too long. Thank you, Mike.

Can we all take a moment and rejoice that the rotating bezel is finally back? I was really pissed when they took it away in GW5. It looked like all the other Chinese smart watches that came out. The rotating bezel is addicting and makes difference in experience.

In 2011 the average android phone had between 256-512MB of RAM & now in 2023 (or actually even before like in 2021 for GW4) we have 1.5GB-2GB RAM in a frikkin tiny AF watch! Mind blowing! 😮

I'm planning to upgrade from the GW4 Classic to the GW6 Classic, so this was very helpful. I don't think GPS tracking has been great on any of the Galaxy watches and would be great if you did more testing on the accuracy along with the battery and performance improvements.

I literally love your videos. They seem so honest and natural and exactly what I would expect from such videos - just telling a story of your personal experience but with a pinch of important tech details. Awesome job!

[BALL_BUZZ]

I actually don't like the more sporty look. The whole point of getting a classic is for it to look like a watch you can wear with nice clothes or casual wear. I definitely prefer the Watch 4 look.

[StealthyCharger]

Definitely upgrading my W4C to the W6C. Trade in value was amazing plus i already got a discount for buying a Flip 5 which made more than half off. Upgraded from my 4C to 6C was only $184! Then i got my wife a smaller 6C cause shes been wanting a small watch with a rotating bezel for a few years now. After a couple trade ins i got the Flip 5, 47mm watch 6 classic, 43mm watch 6 classic, and some accessories for only $854!

Wasn't going to upgrade my regular watch 4 but that classic looks oh so nice. With the rotating bezel, better battery, more sensors, plus the $150 trade in credit made it a no brainer decision for me

[BunB]

First of all appreciate the review, I'll be sticking with my 4 for now. Better sleep tracking is not a reason for me to upgrade and out of my group of friends and family I don't know anybody who wears their smart watch to bed. So besides the bigger battery, better processor and incremental larger display I don't see anything that will entice me to upgrade for now.

[CapturedByKen]

That silver is just too shiny for me personally, would’ve preferred a brushed look …I have the black GW4C and it’s more of a matte finish

[sauravangnani]

I Got Watch 4 for 60$ in sale, whereas watch 6 is at 360$!!

[addilsonfernandes]

I Ordered the 4 classic today.Looks just as good. Update when the 6 price go down.

[Chef]

Just order a GW4 Classic. Upgrading from the OG Galaxy Watch! Thanks for the video comparison!

I don't really think that you gave me the gap between the two watches. The differences between the two aren't that much at all. The only standout thing was battery life and you really didn't say what the time span of difference was. I know that it's hard to create a video. I definitely want to say that the way the video was constructed was designed to a degree of excellence. The actual point or the information was not as well done. Please don't be offended by my comments. That is not my intention. I am really trying to tell you that I personally didn't get that much of a realization of what the major difference was between the two watches that would leave me with a clearer perspective. Maybe I wasn't paying close enough attention to the video. Never the less it was a great video and I hope that you continue to provide us with many more. The techniques that you implemented to make the video is great. The only fault for me was that the information didn't strike a chord to the subject matter of the title. I'm not saying you failed I just didn't get it. I was left with the impression that the newer 6 is just an update vs. being the major upgrade. Except for the updates from Samsung being a longer continuance to the future. Basically the same watch for a casual use case.

I like that they brought back the rotating bezel this year. Having it on my watch 4 classic improves the experience greatly. The slimmer bezel on the 6 does make it look a lot less classy then the 4 though, imo.

[kaiichinose]

I think the upgrades are nice for those that have an s3 and below but the brighter display thinner bezels and upgrade in batter and chip will be more efficient. They brought the device back since it wasnt there in the series 5 devices. I actually prefer it over my watch 5 pro which i traded in and ended up getting the 47mm version for 100 bucks so not too terrible. I dont think much in the design is going to change its more about hardware and software improvements. People dont have to upgrade every year but there is a market for new buyers that dont currently have one. I donthink watches should be 2 year updates instead of annual.

[BrandonCabjuan]

Appreciate this video, man! I went ahead and ordered the GW6C and trading in my GW4C. Thanks for the clear-up on the whole GPS thing. I thought it meant with no GPS, there was ZERO GPS capabilities, and I thought, well that's just weird!? I don't run outside though, but if I ever do, good to know that this feature is there, haha. Mostly upgrading for the faster charging and the flatter look. Plus, as you've mentioned the GW4C will lose out on updates soon, and if Samsung is continuing this trend of every other year updates to their classic and pro lines, upgrading every two years doesn't seem like a bad idea. Aloha 🤙🏻
