Watch 4 classic to watch 6 classic
Is the upgrade worth it? Nope. Sorry to be a debby downer, but the Watch 4 Classic and the Watch 6 Classic have almost the exact same specs. The only noteworthy upgrade would be the slightly larger screen on the Watch 6 Classic. The Watch 6 Classic has the EXACT SAME ancient sensors as the Watch 4 C

Switching to Galaxy from Apple, how does the Galaxy Watch Compare?
I have a Samsung Galaxy S23U and GW 7. Watches are the only sector where other companies have lagged behind Apple. The responsiveness and Smoothness of Apple watch are unmatched. Also the sensors are much more accurate than the competition. So YES. Its definitely a downgrade from Apple watch to Gala

Is galaxy watch 8 worth compared to older models?
buy both 44mm, if you buy 40mm it will have lesser battery life difference among them are SOC, GW6 has older 2-core Exynos W930 while both GW7 and GW8 have 5-core Exynos W1000, both GW7 and GW8 will give you more smooth animation with same battery level that Exynos W930 can give yes you can charge y

Did the unpopular switch :) 6C -> 8C
Yup - 1.5cm for GW6 classic 47mm version vs 1.34cm for the GW8 classic. I think there is also some appearance effect, given the all black GW6. https://www.androidcentral.com/wearables/samsung-galaxy-watch/samsung-galaxy-watch-8-classic-vs-galaxy-watch-6-classic I made the same decision and will get

From GW (7 years) to GW7
Hell yeah! I would actually recommend checking prices in your area now. Where I live (Norway) most electronics shops are promoting GW8 and have big discounts on GW7 so I managed to get a very good deal (the shop where I bought even had a bigger discount on 44mm so it was the same price as 40mm) But

GW 8 Action Button
I feel the same way you do about the Action Button — it’s solid hardware but the software options are so limited that it ends up feeling like wasted potential. Most people don’t use any of the preset actions because they’re either redundant or not useful, and Samsung hasn’t opened it up for real cus

6 classic vs 8 and 8 Classic
Did Samsung let a Roomba on bath salts handle product design this year? GW8 looks like it was designed during a ketamine spiral in a Waffle House parking lot. Wearing this is like publicly admitting you use Axe body spray as cologne, mouthwash, and bug repellent, sometimes all at once. The squircle

Pixel Watch 4: 3,000 nits, 72hr battery, satellite SOS — finally something worth the hype?
And it's still the same W5 processor. I doubt that the new co processor will improve the UI performance. Besides being a bit buggy, the performance was 1 main reason I just switched to the Galaxy Watch 8 (and I love the new cushion design on the basic 8😅). In addition it's getting fatter. The GW8 is

Anyone considering Pixel Watch 4
I like the Pixel Watch design overall. I think Google embracing the curved edges is very cool. However I'm not a fan of the crown (which I have to wear pointing away from my hand) or the UI navigation. A full carousel is neat but I like Samsung's touch first UI. I can access the application list wit
