So far I'm enjoying my new Galaxy Classic 6. I've had the original classic for years and finally upgraded because it suddenly stopped working. The only complaint I have with the Classic 6 is, not enough watch faces.
Great looking watch. Love the size so much, had to buy 2. Functionalities great. I just wish any of the lastest watch batteries last as long is the watch 3. (MESSAGE SAMSUNG)
I replaced my 2 year old Watch 4-Classic with a 6-Classic because the 4's battery life seemed to be not holding a full charge for a full day. The 6 is thinner with a much better display. It also responds to a wrist twist MUCH better than the 4.
Unfortunately, the larger battery does not seem to be able to support the new features and advacced display. If I leave the Always-On display feature active, (as I did with the 4) the watch does not make it thru a full day or in the early evening you recieve a Low-Power notice requesting you to turn on the Power Management feature which reduces the watches usefulness.
Fortunately, the trade-in value made the 6 reasonably priced but I may look for an alternative.
Really enjoying this watch although it's a bit heavier than the Garmin watch I've had for 4 years. The band is a bit stiff as well but I bought a different one that's more flexible.
I enjoy all the features and I'm still learning all the things. Works well with my Samsung 23 Ultra phone. Battery life isn't great though so I'm trying to figure out how to opitimize the battery life.
Just bought this watch and so far I am enjoying it, but I'm pretty disappointed by the battery life. Wish I could say I'm surprised... Samsung, please figure this out!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Downgrade from the watch active

Down grade from the watch active, the changes to sleep mode and power saving should get someone fired. Why does the sleep mode not block all notifications, any watch notifications like low battery just ignores sleep mode and buzzes anyway. What is the point of power saving turning off gesture turn on when it gives you a notification every time anyway that you can't use gestures and why does that notification show up every time. Whatever battery you saved from gestures is wasted on non stop notifications that you can only clear instead of turn off. Build quality and screen are good.
