At $75, the Gen 4 is fine, as long as you keep your expectations in tow. The main difference between Gen 4/Sport and Gen 5 is the 1gb of RAM vs 512mb. I've owned both generations, and the difference is night and day. With 4/Sport, you will experience significant lag, simple tasks will take way too long, apps are sluggish to open. The extra RAM with Gen 5 solves all of those performance issues, and it's a smooth pleasant experience. The performance improvement is so shocking that you wonder why Google hasn't forced all its OEMs to include 1gb RAM as the base spec.
Anyway, as I said at $75 it's fine, it'll show the time and display notifications, mostly without issues. Just keep in mind it's going to be a frustrating user experience at times. If you were on the fence, pass on Gen 4, and wait for a Gen5 sale.

If you can put up with the horrible Samsung Tizen OS.
What's wrong with it? Not as compatible with google apps directly, but I've enjoyed my Gear S3 Frontier from a past sale. Their battery life is pretty decent compared to the Fossil watches. These look nice, but I don't do much on my watch anyway.

It being swim proof is a big plus though.
