Galaxy Watch4 Classic

The rotating bezel meets Wear OS.

Buying call

The Galaxy Watch4 Classic brings back the physical rotating bezel on a stainless steel case and runs Wear OS with One UI Watch on a 5nm Exynos W920. The BioActive sensor measures body composition, ECG and blood pressure, and the 46mm model's 1.4-inch 450x450 Super AMOLED looks crisp. Battery life is short at roughly a day and a half, workout controls are fiddly, and ECG and blood pressure need a Galaxy phone.
