Sticking with the 4, they will bring our figit spinner back.
don't know what Samsung was thinking, maybe its to keep the cost down or something but yea I'm sticking with last year's model. even though the battery is kinda nagging. I will say if a new watch comes along with better battery I'll buy that but I doubt anything coming out for Google wear
I'm will be getting it but very disappointed with the loss of the rotating bezel. That said I still have my watch 3 which I use and watch 4 classic
I'm Team have both styles! In a perfect world, they could have made both a W5C and W5P but since the internals of the watches are basically the same... I like having the option. I guess I'm missing something... are you all throwing away your Watch 4 Classics?
@@westmichiganaerials2205 I'm keeping my watch 4 classic with my watch 4 and watch 3
I'm Team Galaxy Watch 4 Classic. I am not ordering this year's pro model!
yep it's a easy pass this year
Same.
Me, a few days with the battery and you won't miss the bezel.
Facts. It’s a classic. 🤷🏾♂️
I think Samsung also forgot the fact that the physical vessel is so useful to turn off alarms, reject calls and stop timers. I guess you can do it too on the touching vessel but it's definitely not the same
Right
I bought a bezel with tachymeter but to use it like time tracker or elapse time , when turn the bezel THE WATCH need to stay in watch position with pointers running on the screen, do 🫵🏼 you know how to DISABLE bezel function to use only the rotation without enter the menu of the watch? Thx
Let's also mention the fact that with the bezel you could completely change the style of it as many times you wanted by adding a ringke bezel of any color . I would change it everytime I wanted a new look along with the straps . This is a big dissapoitment and they will loose lots of sales just because of that bezel .
If you removed the bezel from the Watch4 Classic, wouldn't that start impacting its water resistance? Or are they designed to be easily removable along with keeping the watch sealed?
@@arnox4554 ohh no , you do not have to remove the bezel to change the style of the watch 4 classic . The ringeke bezels which you could buy on Amazon would be removable and would just stick on top of the original bezel with minimal bulk , therefore changing the style of it and giving it any look you want.
@@johnjohn6808 Oh, that's interesting. I might take advantage of this!
To be fair that will probably be available on the 5 pro, as it's available on pretty much every other Samsung watch
@@huntno You can do that on the 5 Pro, sure, but it will be purely cosmetic, and I imagine they won't look as good as they do on the Watch 4 Classic.
I hate it! I LOVE my GW3 and it's rotating bezel. I prefer the physical click you get when selecting something vs a swipe. It's just better. Also, I don't like that they're going lighter with the 5. I like a little weight to my watch -- it feels premium. I guess they're trying to make it more futuristic or whatever but, to me, the GW5 looks like something your grandparent would have to wear in their assisted living community.
I agree CJ, I'm keeping my Watch 4 Classic! C'mon Samsung what were you thinking when you did away with the rotating bezel on the Watch 5?
Great video as always, CJ! I 100% agree with you on the uniqueness of the Classic model and how it made Samsung stand out. I currently have both the Galaxy Watch 4/4 Classic in 44/46. However, I ordered the Watch 5 Pro, which might replace my Watch 4. The 4 Classic is not going anywhere! Samsung will continue to sell the 4 Classic, but I believe the lack of sales due to the removal of the bezel will encourage them to bring it back on the GW6. Keep up the great work, and be blessed!
I just picked up the Galaxy 4 classic 42mm for only $179 on Amazon. It’s packed full of features. Definitely worth the money. The battery could be better but with medium use it works out fine. Have the iPhone 12 so upgraded to the S22 ultra just to use the watch. Great video man. Sucks they got rid of the T-bezels.
I recently got your same Amazon deal at $179 and for my first few days I was definitely sending it back due to my battery complaints. Now we a bunch of settings adjustments I am getting through the day with nightly charging at 10pm to 5am. Mine is the 42mm and with tiny wrists I really like the shape at style but overall I'm disappointed about not being able to run %90 of the smartwatch features in the background. Essentially I have a watch I'll wear every day and use occasionally to Spotify while I'm out in the surf with my Shokz bone conducting buds. On those days unfortunately I'll be racing home for the charger. What are some of your settings to increase battery life? Does this watch "learn" over time and get better battery performance? I have a dark watch face with sleep at 15 seconds. Thank you
@@kippywylie samsung products learn and will give you satisfactory results over the time.
Think I'm getting ready to get it from Walmart Black Friday for $149. Last Samsung watch I had was the Samsung Gear S3 Frontier, luv it battery gave out on it.
@@yourshyness32 I missed thr $149 part. New for that price is definitely way to go. Have a nice weekend.
@@yourshyness32 I purchased and quickly returned it only because of very disappointing battery performance. Now that it's gone I have learned that the battery is "smart" and learns longer charging cycles from your daily habits. I now have a Garmin that gives me most of a week.... I doubt the Galaxy goes for 3 days
I totally agree with everything you said about the classic watch! Once I saw there was no rotating bezel I knew I would not be getting the watch 5. I wear my galaxy watch 4 in the house and when I work out and sleep, but when I'm out and about its always my watch 4 classic on my wrist. The look and bezel are just unmatched! I can't believe Samsung didn't bring it back 😡 maybe they'll bring it back with the watch 6, but if not I'll be wearing my watch 4 classic until it dies or I die, whichever comes first lol
Yes they are bringing back in the 6 series
Sticking with my classic 4. Kind of hope the sales this year lack and they bring back the bezel next year. It's my favorite part of the watch to he honest. Well second. This watch can take a lot of accidental abuse without showing any wear.
Great review bro. Made me subscriber. But mainly cause I'm looking for that watch face video. Are you rockin facer?
I have the Samsung Gear that looked like a "Fitness Watch".
I Immediately purchased the Galaxy Watch 46mm and have been using it ever since.
I was waiting on the Watch 5 but now look like I'll have to go to the Watch 6 whenever that comes out.
I love my Rotating Bezel. It looks funky w/out it.
I will be hanging onto my 4 classic till it dies! I hate, hate, hate, that they took the rotating bezel away and that the pro only comes in one size! Us girls do not want a watch bigger than our wrist, but we also want the pro. Bad decision. I know its due to the batt size, but there is always a work around like they did with the classic 4! Not looking forward to the 5 release at all. Maybe the 6 will be better?
Doesn't the classic 4 have a worst battery tho?
@@vinny3410 Mine lasts all day (6am-10pm) with moderate use. It's usually around 40-50%% when I put it on the charger at night. For me it's all good, but it could be a bummer for heavy users.
FR with the processor being the same, the real upgrades from the 4 Classic to the 5Pro were the faster charging, battery life, and a better strap. And if none of those are worth sacrificing the bezel, then yeah, the 4 Classic is the way to go.
Get this man a turn bezel!!!!
Great video, CJ! Hoping to get a Watch 4 Classic myself. Can't wait to rock those Rolex watch faces.
100% agree with you 💯 i need the bessel to select when swimming or running in raining as i have to switch on waterlock function so besel will help me alot
Thanks for this video. I'm still rocking the old S2 classic and was looking at the 4 classic vs the 5 pro. Now I know!
The swaaggg! And I agree! Finally found someone who considers the classic design to match every guy's watch preference.
Great video! What is the program you are using to change your watch faces?

I had an Active 2 LTE and wanted to wait another year or so for the GW5 Pro to get cheaper. But the touch screen of my Active 2 doesn't work properly anymore. It was also sometimes scrolling through the menu without doing anything. Last week I found a brand new GW4 Classic 46mm LTE bute without wrist band for only 107€ on ebay. Couldn't resist at this price. Got a sport wrist band pack of 4 for 12 €, so I paid 119 € for a brand new GW4 Classic LTE 46mm. I'm very happy with it, the rotating bezel is cool. Only thing I'm missing is the cool photo puzzle game from the Active 2. Battery life isn't worse than on the Active 2, with normal usage as a watch I get 2-3 days.
i agree the bezel makes it so unique i had the gw4 classic LTE version classic (tmobile) but had to return it because of the overheating once bluetooth connection was lost. one question do you have the bluetooth or LTE version. im assuming no overheating on the bluetooth only version.
Finally picked my very first smart watch. After doing a bunch of research on the 4 classic, 5, 5 pro and pixel watch, I decided to buy the 4 classic 46mm. Just ordered it today
Great choice
@@CJKnowsTECH yeah,I believe so. Great content.... definitely helped cement my decision!!
This video is amazing, really got the information I looked for.
Never owed a Classic only owned a Watch 4 44mm so I don't know what it's like to have the physical rotating bezel but I do feel bad for the people that did have it and miss it and want it back. I also try to make my watch look classy with nice watch faces and nice bands and I have gotten a lot of compliments on my watch and that's with me rocking a leather watch band and Samsung stock Tomcat watch face. My best suggestion for people who want to upgrade and still want that classy look is to go with the Watch 5 44mm. It won't have the physical rotating bezel but it can still get and look classy.
Without the bezel I'll never upgrade. They can be on watch 10 and I'll still hold back with my 4 classic
I was waiting on this one. I feel the same way but needless to say I pre-ordered the Watch 5 Pro 😂
😂😂😂
facts yo. I love the bezel too. but I ordered the 5 pro. I need that big battery. I'm gonna miss the bezel.
I absolutely loved my Samsung watches. I just can't do 1 or even 2 Day battery life anymore. I got the pixel 6a and pixel buds, and even though about the pixel watch. I switched 2 Garmin watches and absolutely love them. I know for allot of people that really didn't work because they don't like the style. They have been making more traditional smart watch style watches. I get 12 days on the one I wear now. But even the ones that are more like traditional smart watches get 5 to 7 days. Would love 2 hear any options.
Also with the bezel it allowed you to switch screens on your watch without touching your screen with fingers . What if you are eating something that dirty your fingers , or outside doing yard work (dirt, etc ) with the back of your hand you could have simply rotated that bezel or even with your knuckles lol without getting that screen dirty. The bezel has many advantages.
Yeah, I work in fast food, fingers are constantly wet, how am I supposed to use a smartwatch without that bezel? I’d be constantly fighting it, like I would in the rain with my phone I imagine. I’ve never had one so maybe I’m wrong but that’s my assumption.
I wish you would do a video on the different unique bands and bezels you can put on all these different watch series. It can really change the appearance of your watch if you get tired of all black or all silver looking watch!
you should check out the gap-less bands for the 4 classic. much classier look. good video. I feel the same, I charge the 4 when I get home from work and put it on before bed. Same as my phone and earbuds so.
Hi CJ, thanks for the video. I'm with you on the Galaxy 5 Pro and its sibling. I was waiting to see if this new watch is any good but Galaxy watch 4 classic is still best in my opinion because I work in corporate so it will go well with my formal and casual wear.
I wanted to ask you, seeing that you always leave on "always on", does it take you through the day? I just want to know if it will hold me from the morning till afternoon when I knock off.
Thank you
It should be able to get you through a work day but it also depends on other factors as well: screen brightness, amount of notifications and apps used etc. but generally you should be able to get through a workday with this watch. Test it out and see and report back. If it doesn’t satisfy you can always return it
@@CJKnowsTECH noted, thank you so much for your reply.
I am definitely going for it. I'm usually going black but that silver stainless steel made me to reconsider, I want it exactly like yours... silver, that silver steel band and with those Rolex watch faces 😅
If it was possible, I was just gonna buy yours, I really love it.
Thought long and hard about getting the 5 due to resell value. I'm not gonna get $240 for the GW4C . But, don't feel it is worth it to upgrade. I just sideloaded the new watch faces and called it a day
I'm gonna guess and say that they're trying to do cycles of styles- the original Galaxy Watch was traditional, the (Active) 2 was sporty and minimalistic, the 3 was traditional again and now they went with both designs. My guess is they're going minimalistic this year, next year will be a traditional one again, then another minimalistic and then they'll do another 2 for 1 year.
Liked your commentary. I have owned a Galaxy 2 and 3 frontier. I liked them. But I decided to skip the G4 and went directly to the G5 (not pro) Why not Pro? Because it looks too thick on my wrist. Yeah, bigger battery, but it shows and ruins the look. I will also say that the bezel is nice, but not a killer (unless all you want is the bezel look) I do like my G5. I used it for the first time with cycling, and when I was done, it also showed me split times for each mile PLUS a Google map of the trip. Nice!
Anyway, I am wondering what you use your Google assistant for? What do you do with it and what can I do? Does it use more battery power to use it? I uninstalled it on my watch, but might put it back depending on what I could do with it. Comments?
Will be sticking with the GW4 Classic until the physical rotating bezel returns.
Why remove the one thing that really makes their watches stand out? The GW5 Pro looks like a toy in comparison - actually reminds me of my 6 year old nephew's watch!
Lolol
The Rotating Bezel makes it a Collectors Item! But just as I loved the Fold, I will Love Double the Battery size with the Watch 5 Pro ⌚️
Imagine the watch 5 classic coming with the s23 ultra 🤔🤔..... Just have that feeling
This video right here... made me subscribe! And... coz' of you, I will definitely buy the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic as an early Christmas gift for mah' self! Haha! Thank you, Sir! Extend my regards to Coco!
I pre-ordered the galaxy watch 5 pro, but still my classic 4
100% Agree the bezel is a lovely unique feature on Samsung smart watches. If anything the option should have still been there for the S Watch 5/Pro.
I bought a bezel with tachymeter but to use it like time tracker or elapse time , when turn the bezel THE WATCH need to stay in watch position with pointers running on the screen, do 🫵🏼 you know how to DISABLE bezel function to use only the rotation without enter the menu of the watch? Thx
I will miss the Rotating Bezel but I had to Pre-Order the Watch 5 Pro in Grey Titanium 😢 . Traded in the Watch 4 Classic to get 50% off and a free wireless charger. Z Fold 4 in Beige with Gold Side Frames Playa..... the Freebies and deals were top notch this year. Z Fold is 50% off with a trade in of Z Fold 2 or Z Fold 3.
The description of the first stainless steel watchband says it won't fit the 46? Is the link wrong or will it fit?
It's very disappointing that the bezle is being removed on the watch 5. I have the galaxy watch 1 and love it. I'm going to get the watch 4 classic when I upgrade. And probably won't get a new one till they bring back the BEZEL!
I'm calling it right now to be announced soon the Galaxy watch 5 pro classic
I was waiting on this video since the event!!!
They dropped the ball if the G5's come with no bezel. I'm still hopelessly hoping they plan on surprising us before Christmas with a bezel version/edition 👀🙏🏾😂
I hope so too😂
Nope…that’s the surprise already. No more mechanical rotating bezel. They replaced it with a fence bezel.
Yo playa big time follower from the UK, love your videos and I am an owner of the GW3 and also love that watch but with support ending next year I was always going to upgrade to the GW5 this year, you guys are so lucky out there with your Samsung discounts we are only getting £100 trade-in discounts, so if I don't trade in now the watch will probably be worth nothing next year, hopefully, the GW5 pro will be awsome
Understood do what you gotta do. I’m looking forward to testing the GW5/pro
My dude; like you I want to call Samsung and literally cuss them out about removing the rotating bezel or turn bezel from the watch 5. Although the screen is bright and the battery is bigger but removing the rotating bezel is pretty much a deal breaker for me. I have a dream that they will bring it back! Keep up the good work young man!
Have you made a video about how the Galaxy Watch 4 works with non-Samsung Android phones like the Pixel 6? Any loss or missing functionality?
I hate that they do not have a rotating bezel on the Watch 5 Pro, I'm skipping it. I do feel that they might bring it back next year if sales drop though. Crossing my fingers.
Getting my watch 4 classic in few days 🔥
I already know it's gonna be worth
I have gw4 classic lte but pretordered the pro 5 for the longer battery life I will miss the mechanical bezel
How big is your wrist? Should I go for the gw4 classic 42mm if I have a 6 inch wrist?
Yes
just bought my galaxy watch 4 classic a month earlier and I am lovin it but was sad about the new watch releasing as i thought i lost my money if i would have waited for one month . But after watching this i think galaxy watch 4 classic is better in design that 5 pro
Probably better design but overall performance worse compared to the 5 pro obviously. I had the classic but I don't mind the 5 pro design and if they release a classic I may opt towards that later maybe
I am right there with you and I didn't even know, before your video, that Samsung was moving away from their OS and the classic Galaxy 3 physical bezel spinner. Like you said....come on!!! 😑 I bought a Gen 4 accidentally getting the smaller one while at Costco. The thing over heats, needs firmware out the ass and has NEEDED to factory reset itself 3 times in 85 days. 90 day warranty at Costco? Oh yeah, this thing is going back tomorrow. My original 3rd gen got the swollen battery after however many years. I tried to replace it myself but accidentally messed up the flat cable that comes up to the display. It ends up working sometimes and not others. I'll still see if I can fix that one, but I'm like you going forward, we'll see. Thanks for all the info! Rock on.
I just ordered the Pro... It has a rotating touch bezel it's not mechanical... I prefer the minimal bezel. The watch faces will be modified so the dark out circle won't be seen
Will you buy a Samsung watch 6 classic? I think they will come up around this month on unpacked event
no upgrades this year for me. just wasn't wowed this time around, maybe next year
Is it still worth buying GW 4 classic?
Because gw5 even pro have the same smartwatch look like all the other smartwatches. Only gw4 classic have the most unique look in the smartwatch category.
I think I am acutally buying a watch 4 now, just to preserve the classic look. Can't believe they are not continuing it.
Hey Man, would you recommend galaxy watch 4 classic today over the watch 5 and 5 pro?
If it’s what you want. Plenty of Watch 4 classic users out there but it’s ultimately up to which watch you actually want
I am planning to buy a galaxy watch within a few days. I want your opinion as you are a reviewer. Also, can you tell me till when the watch 4 and 5 series will get updates.
@12:56, talking about music copyright strikes, what I think CZcams should come up with is a way for you the content creator to purchase a written permission letter to use their copyrighted song, or even a portion of it, in your videos. I think that could be huge if CZcams could come up with something that would make copyright owners happy and the content creators even happier, too! It would also make for a more entertaining experience for us viewers, aswell!
what app are you using for your watch faces ?have the series 4 classic and it seems like the face variety is very limited.outside of that,i love the watch
Watch this!⌚️ czcams.com/video/37S4dMGskZk/video.html
had problems with my turn bezzel not as supple on wear os compared to my s3 fronteer it skipped alot , now its better but i went 5 pro with its rub bezzel , by adding a screen protector which was for my 4 and is a tight fit seems to make the black metal bezzel turn the screen god knows why just rubbing my finger around the watch works okish but not the same as the classics bezel ring
If i have 19cm wrist. Which size should i buy?
I also love the design… gonna buy tomorrow classic
I did a lot of homework on the watches, and I bought the Watch 4 Classic 46mm. I like the functional bezel, the 5 ATM waterproof (for Swimming/SCUBA Diving/Kayaking/Hang Gliding/Flying), the battery life, and the style & I don't know much more about the Watch 5, off the top of my head.
I think the smaller Watch 5 had the same or less battery life???
Anyhow, any really nice, classy watch has a working bezel. The Watch 5 not having a working bezel tells me they are going cheap on their watches.
I wanted a great heart, sleep and fitness monitor.
As for the weight of the Watch 4 LTE 46mm Chrome, at 52g, I find it a little heavy for a watch, BUT I haven't worn a watch for years, AND I am adjusting fast in just a couple of days.
My wrist is about 7.5 to 7.75", and although it has a beautiful, large face, it is slim and doesn't feel clunky at all.
The battery life and larger size, as well as the working bezel, are about as small as I'd like a touch screen to be, and the bezel and gestures to operate are awesome thus far (I've only had it for a few days, but love it thus far!)
I started with a lotta apps running to start with, and the first few days, I was killing my battery quickly.
I tried out lotsa apps, and now am trying it tonight after pairing down my apps to what I will actually use day-to-day, yet can still access my compass for hiking, diving, kayaking, flying, etc., for instance, when I need it.
I am still working my way through the menus, to see what all this watch can do, and find it is about like buying a new tablet or computer. It clearly takes a while to get through the apps, decide what I will actually use regularly.
I am watching your next video comparing watches, and am happy I stuck with the Watch 4 Classic.
The Watch 5 missing the bezel seems like a big downgrade. I am used to having round instruments having a bezel. It is strange not to use it as a marker, yet getting used to the menus using it is awesome!
I would like it to be usable as a marker for an analog face, like a timer, for the compass as a direction marker to get back to where I came from, to mark search direction, etc., but it's not hard to get used to.
The ability to use the watch while in or near salt water, bathing and while in a pool is important to me. I've never liked a watch that can't stand up to being underwater, that can stand up to being bumped, etc. is important to me. I look for a water rating & military rating before I even look at specs, especially on expensive electronics.
If a watch can't take water or a little bumping around, I'm not interested.
Battery life is next. I don't want a watch I'll have to charge every few hours! I am reasonable as to what my expectations are, but I don't want to deal with mid-day charging.
I love the ability to use what I need, be able to shut off what I don't need 24/7, yet being able to access those things and turn them on when I want those things.
The heart monitor and O² monitors and tracking on my phone are very important to me, as is optimizing health, so the Apple Watches and Samsung's Watch 4 Classic and Watch 5 Pro were my top 3 choices. I already use a Samsung Galaxy S21 I have had for quite a while, so that took out the Apple watches, and my choices were then Samsung's Watch 4s and Watch 5s.
I wanted a higher mAh battery, so the Watch 4 Classic 46mm and Watch 5 Pro 45mm were my top choices. The bezel on the Watch 4 was a big selling point, as was the price of the Watch 4 Classic 46mm.
The Watch 4 Classic 46mm LTWLE went on sale at iCuracao.com for about half the price of the Watch 5 Pro 45mm LTE, so I bought it.
I'm glad I bought the model I did, as not having a bezel would've been something that I certainly would've missed, and had I bought the Watch 5 Pro, I would've certainly been disappointed.
Perhaps Samsung will bring the bezel back for Watch 6? I certainly hope so, at least in some models with the higher mAh batteries! I hope they will make it useful as a marker for direction, timing, etc. for their analog faces, AND have it available to use for the menus as well, as I like that functionability as well!
QUESTIONS!?!
1) Does the Samsung Classic 4 46mm LTE have a depth gauge for SCUBA and free diving? and/or a dive computer?
2) Does the same watch have an altimeter for flying? If so, is it real-time?
3) When Samsung says the Watch 4 Classic 46mm LTE is depth rated to 5ATMs, do they mean 4 ATAs (5 Atmospheres Absolute or 132 feet deep in sea water at sea level) OR do they mean 5ATMs (6 ATAs or 198 feet deep in sea water from sea level)?
I've searched for this information, yet haven't been able to find an answer.
4) If it can detect depth and/or altitude, how is this measured by the watch?
If these watches don't have this ability, it would be a couple of great additions to the Samsung Watch 6 Pro LTE, along with bringing back the bezel, and making it a marker and change it to use to scroll through menus.
6) Are the stainless steel bands, you have, actually true stainless steel? I live near and when out and about, I do enjoy the ocean, so a watch and band that are OK in salt water are a necessity.
7) Do you recommend a watch cover, as well as a new band?
8) Can you show how to remove links from the stainless steel band for those of us with smaller wrists?
9) What type of clasp does the stainless band have?
10) Are there any Titanium bands you can recommend for the Watch 4 Classic 46mm LTE?
I'm with you on the missing bezel on the Watch 5! Who thought dropping that was a good idea?
Thank you so much for the information!
Great video!
I'm glad I finally broke down and finally bought the Watch 4 Pro 46mm LTE.
So far, so good!
I turned off a lotta apps I wasn't using, as it was going through the battery very fast the first few days. Tonight, actually this morning around 2am, I still have 46% of my battery after going all day, and playing with my settings for a couple of hours today. I still need to dial it in for my uses, battery life, etc., and still haven't accessed the developer's menu (& not sure I need to or want to???)
Great information!
I'm very happy that I bought the Watch 4 Classic 46mm LTE. I kinda bought it not knowing everything about the Watch 5, as it was on sale for a good price. I've been looking for about a year or more, so I needed to simply break down and buy one, as I really wanted a good heart monitor, PO², BP, compass, watch, phone, etc.
I think I made the best choice.

Mate, the classic 4 LTE has just gone on sale ($200 AUD off) I’ll be picking one up first up tomorrow morning. I just cannot A) part ways with the physical rotating bezel & B) justify the extra $350 Aussie Dollars for the 5 pro when really all it’ll be good for to me is the increased battery life. I can live with having to charge it nightly if it means I get virtually same specs (chipset, wear OS3 updated, body comp, etc, etc) minus the fancy back track feature, etc. Yeah it’s Titanium but stainless is still tough as nails and I like a little weight to a Watch, just feels more premium particularly when you put a stainless strap on it just like I do on my current Galaxy Watch 46mm LTE.
Yesterday I got an email from Samsung about discounts on their galaxy watches. So I looked around and saw that the galaxy watch 5 44mm was the same as the 4 classic 46mm, 289€ for both LTE versions (I live in Spain for context on prices). I wasn't sure which to get, so I went to the a mall to try them out in person.
I put on the watch 5 and it was fine but nothing crazy. Then I put on the classic and wow I really liked the bigger size, but most importantly it's the rotating bezel that made me go for it. I really didn't see a difference in terms of performance between them, and the battery might be a bit better on the new one but I was told that not by that much. The design I think is much better looking on the old one, I got the silver one and it just looks less "smartwatchy". When I got home I put it on and a family member asked if had gotten a new watch, I passed it to them and at first he thought it was an analog one, which was a relief as I like the "classic" look it has.
I really don't understand why Samsung dropped this version, offering a slightly more expensive device with a very distinctive bezel and a more attractive device makes sense, idk, just glad i got one while they lasted
So what do you think for a newbie...watch 5 or watch 4 classic? Is it worth the better battery over the bezel??
I mean I'll have better judgements once I actually get the Galaxy Watch 5's in
@@CJKnowsTECH I am not in a hurry. 😁 Just seems $500 I'd a lot if I am only getting battery life (when I charge every night anyway), titanium case and ??...especially losing the dial. Curious to hear your findings/opinions to come.
@@CJKnowsTECH Did the price of the watch 4 classic just go up??
Where do you get your cases and bands?
I believe the galaxy watch 5 is gonna sell more units than the galaxy watch 5 pro, mainly the 44mm in blue.
i will be keeping my watch 4 classic 46mm until it dies.. or until they bring back the rotating bezel! heck, i still have a S3 frontier that still works like a charm!
Which color do you prefer better, silver or black? Which is more versatile for utilizing a number of different bands?
Is it possible to disable the bezel so I don't go to the menu when I turn or rotate. I want the bezel even when turning not to go to the menu, I need to stay in front of the poinsters to use the tachymeter
You are so right my friend, i will just keep my 4 classic!
I am sticking with my 4 classic!
The reason I think is Sammy removed the bezel is because they sold more of 4 than 4cl. It's the only reason the companies would do with such move
I've thought of this as well but I'm still disappointed...My comment section reflects a classic watch community and hopefully it's BIG enough to make Samsung realize
@@CJKnowsTECH
They WILL realize
Preach CJ I'm with you bro. I guess I'm going to stick with Samsung Watch 4 Classic for now
CJ. I'm glad to see you snap on this one. They got me wondering WTF out here. I'm fine that they ditch the Note name because they kept the Note features. But this can NOT be tolerated.The rotating bezel is the illist feature on any smart watch. Somebody on that stuff out there in their marketing research department if they don't know that. Major mistake on this move by Samsung imo.They have to bring back the classic.
I'm a big fan of the Samsung Note I was extremely disappointed when it ended😏🙄🙈
I hate the Watch 5 design but I ordered the 5 pro anyways. With all the promotions, coupons and GW3 45 trade in, I can get it with $100. I hope I will grow to like it.
5:13 I love how he felt the need to add "The Swagg" in text here. The worms in my brain find this funny. The swagg....
I was thinking about getting the watch 5 in blue for everyday and and my 4 classic for special occasions.
Can you please tell where do you get your watch faces from?
Look like I'm cop the galaxy 4 classic
Will keep my watch 4 classic.
Me too!
Same!
I love and still rocking my GW3
I'm so glad I jumped on that sale earlier this year and got the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic for less than $150. Who even asked for a big ass pro watch with a huge bezel sunken in?! All they had to do was update the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic. First they mess with my Note and took my SD card slot/MST and now they take my rotating bezel from the Watch Classic! Samsung is working my nerves.
Yesss I want the bezel ima have to buy the watch 4 classic now :(
Finally upgraded from my S3 Frontier to the Watch 4 Classic about a month ago after I heard the 5 wasn't going to have a rotating bezel. I originally was going to wait until the 5 came out to get one cheaper but found Samsung selling them Refurbished on Ebay for about $200. I ordered it I can almost swear that thing must have been brand new, original box, paperwork, plastic film on the screen, the works. My only problem is I spend too much on bands, I got to have me a big fat 2in wide leather strap that I buy from a dude (Dganin in Poland) selling on Etsy for about $150 and they are fine quality and really make the watch stand out. Maybe its just me but I found that when using a skinny band on a big fat watch I always wind up doing something that pushes the watch up against my wrist and scratching my wrist and sometimes making it bleed, fat leather straps prevent that. I dont know if I'm just getting old or careless that causes that or I'm just more active that others and get in weird positions working on stuff or something.
Please how much did u get the watch 4 classic as of 2022
@@anthonyihedioha5144 $209 refurbished on Ebay from Samsung but judging from its looks and the way it was packaged I'm almost certain it was brand new, add that and the cost for the band and it was still cheaper than buying one from the Samsung store at the mall.
@@HDCowboy How's the battery 🔋 like and performance since is refurbished
@@anthonyihedioha5144 Performance seems very good, the battery is like a new one from what I seen in the reviews, which in other words it sure aint nothing to brag about, but it will get you through a day! lol! I'm pretty dang convinced the thing was new honestly!!
I still use my gear s3 frontier, and wanted to upgrade this year, but I will probably just go with the watch 4 classic for half the price...

I have the 4 classic so I'm good with that but my wife is due for an upgrade for her 3. Her battery is not what it used to be.
Time to switch to the Galaxy Watch ⌚️ 5 Pro...
Like 3rd Bass say: What Time Is It?
In always on display. The seconds finger disappears. Pls help
And I hope they fixed overheating that I get with gw4 classic lte
Is the watch 4 is viable late 2023/2024? Im wanting to get onto smart watches. I dont need sport/health or any other frequent tracking features. I just want notification, time, and calendar stuff.
I want the classic 4, but im dont want to end up with an obsolete "dumb" smart watch.
Get this one, I just got it and you get all you're mentioning and more while looking very nice!
I’ve always bought the classic 1 3 4 not the 5 I preordered the 44 mm no bezel no pro
Lol they lost me at dumping MST. I bought a 4 for the wife, but I'm still riding Frontier until the wheels fall off. Sammy has an absurd habit of killing it with a release, then stripping away it's selling points.
Yeah MST was clutch 😂
If ı want to use galaxy watch 4 classic on fitness stuff,will it be comfortable or disturbing?
My husband plays competition racquetball and works out regularly with the classic 4 and loves it!.
I do lots of sports, including swimming, cycling, weights and outdoor activities. It's great for everything!
Hey CJ, Is That Good To Buy Now In 2024 ?
