Buying call

Buy the Galaxy Watch6 used if you want a capable Wear OS watch for little money: reviewers liked its bigger, brighter screen, digital bezel and excellent sleep insights. Skip it if you want long battery life, because it lasts about a day, or the newest software, since Samsung's newer watches get updates longer. Samsung still sells the Watch7 new. It doesn't work with iPhones.
