Galaxy Watch6 Classic 43mm

The rotating bezel is back, and it's the best way to use Wear OS.

Watch6 Classic restores the physical rotating bezel, which makes scrolling notifications and tiles faster and more precise than swiping. The stainless steel case, sapphire crystal and larger display feel premium, and health tracking includes BIA body composition and ECG. It's thick and heavy, and battery life remains a one-to-two-day affair.
