The stock band is nice, but I think I'll replace it soon with something a little more comfortable for working out, the silicone gets a little slimy feeling once you start sweating a lot.
The sleep tracking is good, but I think the newer ones have software that offer more sleep coaching type features, it'd be nice if they made that available on older models since it seems like its just a software thing, but its not that important.
Overall, great value for a watch. I'm glad they brought the rotating bezel back for the 6 Classic, but the 6 is too expensive for me, maybe I'll upgrade when the price goes down someday, but the Classic 4 is plenty for me.
Due to COVID, I am not travelling, so I let the Breitling in the watch winder. My daily watch was a Rolex DD in white metal. There are quite a number of news about punks robbing folks with nice watches. I do not want to be a potential target. So, I spent my Samsung credit on a Galaxy Watch 4 44mm. I ordered a white one with bigger screen despite I have a smaller wrist as my old eyes need all the help I can get. I ordered it with a regular black band and I am surprised that I would like it so much. Having a Flip phone is cool but able to answer a call with a wrist watch is cooler. I can choose to be Captain Kirk or Dick Tracy.
I like the functionality of this watch so much, I purchased the Classic 4 on Black Friday week with a charger. Both watches function about the same but I do like the Classic 4 better. Classic 4 added a rotating bezel which is quite handy. Putting both watches side by side, they look the same size despite one is listed 44mm and the other 46mm. The Classic looks like a watch while the regular one looks futuristic. Both watches wear big and the bands while comfortable do not fit the watch that well. They do not bend at the attaching prongs and created gaps on the wrist.
I do wish Google Assistant is on this watch instead of Bixby. I could side load the Google Assistant but I choose to wait for Samsung to install this at a later update. Google Pay works, I like the fact I do not have to pull out my wallet or even my phone to pay. I use World Time, Weather and Calendar on the watch. I do not need to pull out the phone most of the time.
Some reviewers are saying that the watch does not hold charge that well. Both of mine would last at least 2 days. I do not set the display to always on. Rotate my wrist would turn the display on for about 5 seconds which is long enough to read the time. I wore my watch sleeping just to check my sleep for fun. I would wake up in the morning and place the watch on its charger. By the time I made breakfast and finished it, the watch would be fully charged.
I am a couch potato. My exercise is walking the dog while I dog sit for my son. So, the health functions are more secondary to me but I can see that would be beneficial for others.
I do recommend this Galaxy 4 Classic. In fact, either the Galaxy 4 or the Classic 4 would be good. Personally, I like the Classic better but I am not sure it is worth the extra money.
One thing that I do need to point out is: - Ordering from Amazon does not allow selection of the bands. Black watch comes with black band and white watch comes with white band. However, the band I received is sort of light gray color. Just be aware that the watch bands that come with the watches are large sizes. I have a 6.5 inches wrist. While I can use the large band by using the first hole, it looks ridiculous. I swapped the bands on the watches. Now, the Classic 4 has the regular black band and the other one has the large grayish band. I do not need two of the very similar watches so I am going to pass it on to one of my family members. Just be aware while the price in Amazon might be better, you do not have a selection for bands in color or size.
BTW. Not all carriers support eSIM on a smart watch. Google Fi does not so I did not get one with LTE. Glad that I noticed this before I purchased the watches as that would be a waste of money. If you want a LTE version, I suggest you check your carrier first.

+Working bezel sets this apart from other smart watches
+Super customizable with 3rd party bands and watch faces, app locations, etc.
+WearOS gives you access to so many apps including Habitica, Roku remote, google apps, etc.
+All health essentials through Samsung health
+Works great with any android, so long as you download the Samsung apps.
+Bluetooth earbud pairing with downloaded music playlists and podcast make this a gym rat's treasure
+The price in 2024 can't be beat for this quality. You can buy the newer models for 3x as much and avoid the 2 negatives, but this one in my opinion does so much already and looks way more classy.
Cons
-Bezel gets scratch up easily because it protrudes but this is true of any bezeled watch
Sidenote: Get a screen protector. This is a no brainer but even with the bezel you will need one.
-Battery lasts 24hrs if you are using the watch moderately. On my first day constantly playing with it and seeing what it could do the battery drained fast, maybe lasted 4-8hrs but once I got used to it and integrated it into everyday life, it lasts 24hrs. If you can fit in an hour of charge a day you can stretch it to a few days before needing a longer charge. For those who have an inconsistent schedule, you will want a different watch. It will die on you and you will be leaving it at home to charge every other day unless you can fit in that hour of charge. Half my job is book work so I can charge it while at my desk so consider if this is right for your lifestyle. Also, you will want the screen brightness around 45% for that balance of visibility and battery life. I do keep my watch face on because I want my watch to look like a watch and not a dead circle on my wrist when out in public and it still lasts me around 24hrs.

The watch looks new with no visible scratches. Used the supplied magnetic charger to charge the watch. Powered on the watch and paired to my Samsung phone using Samsung connect.
Not issue with all its functions like Samsung Pay, Sleep tracking etc. Overall satisfied with the watch. Despite being an export set, it costs half as much as a local set.
