So what do you think? Save $100 on the active version, or spend it on the Classic?

The rotating bezel is the critical factor for me. Last year I traded in my old galaxy watch version 1 to upgrade to the Galaxy watch 5 pro thinking that the lack of rotating bezel wouldn't bother me much. I use my watch as a golf gps and found that navigation through swipes with sweaty fingers not only smearing the screen, but getting false presses was a pain in the you know where. I just preordered the 6 classic and will trade in my 5 pro

I'm not a watch person, but these two actually look pretty sleek

allow me to put forward that while sapphire crystal is far more scratch resistant, it is less impact resistant than glass. your watch cracked despite being sapphire because it is meant for a different resistance than the forces it came up against. sapphire crystal works best when inset and protected by a bezel so only corners can really hit it, since the regular/active variants have no protection, they are very prone to cracking. hope this is informative!

Ya, my watch 4 classic still looks new to this day. That bezel really helps from hitting it on corners. I ordered another silver one classic 47

Two years later, I still have the watch 4 classic. Good to see they brought the rotating bezel back! 🎉🎉🎉

Appreciate the discussion of the materials (aluminum vs stainless steel) and their respective pros and cons. Nice comparison video!

[Benjamin-wydj]

A side dial would be nice where u turn it to swipe through the screen. Like how traditional mechanical watches uses it to adjust the time.

[EchoVerse_Sonance]

I am so happy they brought back with the rotating bezel on the watch 6! I am considering upgrading from my watch 3 to the watch 6 some time.

[scientia-potentia]

We care about the differences between Watch 5 / 5 Pro and Watch 6 Classic. That would be a great video.

Last rotation bezel for me was the watch 3 I think and I don't miss it. The look of the regular is just more tech'sh and futuristic imo. Regular Watch 6 all the way.

I’m an apple user but I’m getting a Samsung as a second line, I used an older galaxy watch with a rotating bezel (2016?) and enjoyed it, but I feel having the same feature as haptic feedback is fine and more modern. The all flat display is very appealing to the eye. No need to spend extra money for the rotating ring, so I got the regular 6 and some glass protectors on Amazon. ☺️

[permbansal]

Just pre-ordered the galaxy watch 6 classic. the trade in for my active2 was $150 and I thought that was great! can't wait to get my watch!

[Debra-ol]

Yeah I pre-ordered the watch six classic I love the bulky big watch I just recently in the last week left a long-term relationship with Apple and switch to android. Went with the Razr+ I got tired of the brick phone meaning the iPhone it doesn’t flip etc. so I gave my iPhone 13 pro max to my wife because she’s a loyal Apple user and sold my Apple Watch Ultra and since switching to android i’m much happier. I’ve always loved flip phones back in the day, but now that they’re straight touch screens I love it even more now if Apple ever comes out with a foldable of their own, I’ll go back, but until then I’m sticking with android, and you do so much more when it comes to multitasking with android that you can’t do on iPhone

Galaxy Watch 6 45mm and Classic 47mm could have been the perfect smartwatches if they had the 3-day battery 🔋 life of the Watch 5 Pro

But Samsung has become worse than Apple, when they give 1 thing, they take out another, now with Samsung, it's 1 step forward 2 steps back 🤦🏽‍♂️

[LonestarROB]

Good info! Get that 6 Classic vs 4 Classic comparison video out asap. Can't decide if I need to jump on the preorder trade up offer or not.

[daves]

I've been preaching this since the Active 2. Ringke bezel on the non classic. Already ordered mine for the GW6.

[MrShinzen]

I sold the 5 Pro because I have a 17cm wrist and that watch was too thick, wide and heavy. I don't consider the smaller versions (43mm and 40mm because the battery will suck). The 47mm version of the 6 Classic is even thicker and heavier than the 5 Pro, I preferred to take the Watch 6 LTE (44mm)

[dawgcanjumphigh]

I use the garmin watch when I ramp up performamce training. For everything else, I use a Galaxy Watch now since I use a Samsung phone. Used the Apple Watch when I used iPhone. I do have the Galaxy Watch 6 now. For training, use a silcone band, easier to clean those.

[blind_gamer]

I'm kinda wanting to now get my hands on the Watch6. I'd love to get the Watch6 Classic, but it's kinda jig in terms of pricing.
