      I can't justify upgrading either. The battery life isn't that great of an improvement for me and the Watch4 Classic is as fast as I need a watch to be. The smaller bezel is about the only major improvement I see. I've always found my Watch4 Classic to be somewhat clumsy looking.
      Ended up upgrading. The Watch6 looks great with the thinner bezel, and it is a bit smoother. The battery is equally trash though.

So besides the bigger battery, better processor and incremental larger display I don't see anything that will entice me to upgrade for now.

    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.

    The Samsung 4-Classic is now 1/4th the price to buy refurbished in excellent condition and its trade-in value is now moot. It's a no-brainer to me which I should buy as the only key difference is a slight durability and looks issue and a slight percent increase in battery life. For 70 bucks, a GW4 classic is a good pick-me-up.

  • @closedchill5243

    GW4C renewed is ~$100 on Amazon (been going up this week, was at $97). GW6C is $400. I think this would be a much more interesting video comparison. I guess you could argue that not all renewed watches are truly excellent condition and may require a return within 90 day guarantee, but at one quarter the price isn't that still worth it? True the GW4 wont be updated as long, but when it does stop getting updates a GW6 will likely be looking at 1/4 price. So $100 today for GW4, $100 in 2 years for renewed GW6. $50/year to have the latest GW updates by going the renewed route.

    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.

    So here is how i am interpreting this video. As long as your current 4 is in good condition, you don't have any good reason to upgrade. If you have money to burn, all good, but it probably wont feel like much of an upgrade.
    No more software updates for the 4 but the experience on the 6 is about the same and probably won't be that different going forward. As long as the 4 continues working, it feels up to date enough.
    Screen/body/bezel is updated but are not night and day differences.
    Battery: as long as the 4 continues to get a days worth of battery, no need to mind the details, the 6 does better but not by that much.

      @@Alexchii In Korea, parking spaces are very tight, to the point where you will end up touching the car next to it (just so you can barely squeeze out). the sponge is there to stop from scratching your car but mainly the other. its a curtesy thing (reason why the blue sponge is located at the furthest point of the door) when u nick a door, the other car usually gets a bigger scratch w dents. its to stop that from happening. ppl don't think that blue sponge looks cool like he's saying... and yes, I'm from Korea.

    Just today, 11/21/23, I decided to trade-in my galaxy watch 4 44mm. For the galaxy watch 6 classic, and I only paid $150 bucks! The galaxy watch 6 classic looks amazing, and the weight makes it feel premium!👍🏾

    I am a big fan of the bezel, but I traded in my Watch3 for the Watch5 Pro just last month because of the great deal I got. Although I miss the bezel, I love how premium to Watch5 Pro looks and the battery life is incredible. I don't have buyers remorse after seeing the Watch6 Classic. Samsung should have kept the battery life the same, and kept the titanium to keep the weight down.

    • @vint0rez

      I wanted try Samsung watch and liked look of 4 classic with bezel. I thought that 5 pro is bad because of lack of it. Then 6 classic came out I tried it in store on my wrist and compare to 5 pro... then I bought 5 pro. I think 5pro looks better, lies better on wrist, its more sporty and robust (I also wanted smartwatch for cycling). 6 classic looks like pan - big and thin. Rotating of the bezel is not so nice, its too quick for me. I like classic diver watches and love that harder, "tougher" move. Don't even say about battery life. Moreover now there are good offers for 5 so I was waiting for 6 classic and consciously bought 5 pro instead.

    • @jaturnley
      @jaturnley Před rokem +1

      I got my 5 Pro about the same time and I am trading it in for the 6 Classic for one reason: the plastic on the back. I am among the group of people who have a strong allergic reaction to the plastics Samsung is using on their earbuds and now the Watch 5 Pro. The 6 classic appears to have gone back to the metal back that the 4 Classic had. I'm losing some money with the trade-in, but a watch I can't wear isn't doing me any good.

    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.

    In Korea, parking spots are pretty small compare to ones in America since its size haven't changed for decades while modern cars are getting bigger and bigger. So when you open the door after parking the car, there's high chance that door will smack the next parked car. That's why blue sponges exists, I even buy different sponges not to dent the other cars.

I could not decide between the two and no direct comparisons, so I will keep the one i like and sell or gift the other..

    I really hate this approach that Samsung is taking for selling new hardware: "Our old hardware, which is basically similar, will not get software updates anymore". Not cool, I find it really hard to buy into planned obsolescence. Frankly it pushes me away from all of these products. I am totally fine of the products not being good enough for modern use, but not this way when they are good enough in hardware, but new gen is pushed on without any justification based on its actual better performance.
