Galaxy Watch6 Classic

The Watch6 Classic brought back the rotating bezel in a steel case; buy it used for the bezel.

Buying call

Buy the Galaxy Watch6 Classic used if you want a rotating bezel and a steel case without paying for a new Watch8 Classic. Reviewers liked its bold looks, bigger screen and the bezel's return. Skip it if battery matters, since it uses the same batteries as the standard Watch6 and lasts about a day, or if you want a light watch. It doesn't work with iPhones.
