The Classic model has a physical bezel that you can rotate to control the menus. The regular one uses a "virtual" bezel on the edge of the screen, which from what I gather, works decently after updates. It'll obviously never be as reliable as a physical one under all circumstances. However, it also makes the watch significantly heavier and means that for the same screen size, the watch has to be 2mm larger.


Y'all really having that much trouble understanding this man? Belt = watch band. There are 2 lengths sold by Samsung: a small/medium (130-190mm) and a medium/large (145-205mm).

DA, if I was a betting man, I'd bet on small/medium here. But it might depend on what was ordered and if it wasn't used before "refurb". I'm betting on having to buy a band for my thick wrists if I bite. I've been eyeing these for a while.

Good deal. The battery life is not good though just 1 or 2 days

Just know there's still no Google Assistant, and knowing Samsung, there never will be. That kills it for me.

Really just looking for something to shake my wrist when I get a text because my pixel 4xl (and current pixel 6) are wonderful phones, but have pathetic vibration strength even when maxed out. That being said, would this be a good choice, or should I consider something else?
Can't you get one of those fitness trackers that are like $25-$30 that also connect to your phone and work as notification? Amazon, Alibaba, Ebay etc should be full of those, like those Xioami or Amazfit branded ones

Excellent deal on all of these watches, thanks OP! Now if only the orders would actually go through! At first, I thought it might be a glitch on the eBay site itself, but then why is it taking 2-3 hours to cancel? So it must be a person on the other end manually canceling - but then WHY not simply mark everything sold out? Well, the only thing I can figure is maybe that 15% discount code was not supposed to be published. That makes the most sense to me, because they really do have stock on everything, but they can only sell it at full price (without the discount code). However, it doesn't look like there is even a way to test this, as the code is automatically applied at checkout! Thus the wasteful attempts put everyone in an endless loop...

For some perspective on the Watch from an experienced user (I have owned every model Samsung Watch ever made - this is now my 10th one! See the full list at the bottom of this message). I have owned this new Watch4 46mm Classic for about 3 weeks now. Answers to top questions...

1. "Belt" sizes (aka Watch bands) available. I did not see any sizes listed in any of the listings, so I would message them to find out. I doubt they will reply though. I never use the default bands anyway, so I could care less.

Also, as sxw88 pointed out if you are upgrading from a Watch3 like me, you cannot reuse the same bands. Samsung did a bonehead move and switched to 20mm (width) bands and all prior models used 22mm.

2. Battery life. Varies by model and your usage. Most folks should be getting about 2 days (what I get on my 46mm Classic) which is standard for all watches. At one point I think my Watch1 was getting about 6 days on a single charge when it was new. It's been all downhill since. NOTE: I use my watch in the most conservative ways - most things turned off, medium brightness, and I rarely use it to do things on. I do use 3 apps, but mostly use it for steps and sleep monitoring - and of course to see the time! lol

3. Regular vs. Classic. As someone else pointed out, the most obvious difference is the physically rotating bezel (signature Samsung Classic) but you can still rotate the dial virtually on the Regular Watch (and it's a breeze to do so). So it mostly comes down to taste/preference on style. Lastly, the Classic has a steel case and the regular has aluminum, but that means nothing to most people. The internals are identical (processor, RAM, 361mAh battery, etc). I admit it's quite a premium to pay for the Classic. It would be easier to justify if they at least put a bigger battery in the Classic, as they did with older models.

4. Watch4 vs. prior generations. The biggest change with this series is the return to Android Wear. Samsung departed from Google back in 2014, and created their own Tizen OS, which I really liked. I was not sure how I would like this change, but so far so good. Maybe someone else can comment on any glaring differences that I am not aware of. Meanwhile, here is a decent comparison article:
https://www.tomsguide.com/face-of...-4-classic

5. Other/Usage. Yes, you can use it to make calls and text. The sound quality is truly amazing (both to you, and your caller), but this is really no different than the Watch3

P.S. For those curious, here is the history of every Samsung Watch made to date - I have owned every one of them, and my favorite to this day is still the Gear S! :-)

2013 Gear
2014 Gear 2 (Tizen intro)
2014 Gear S (curved face, 1st cellular watch in industry)
2015 Gear S2 series (reg/classic)
2016 Gear S3 series (reg/frontier, 1st rotating bezel)
2017 Gear Sport
2018 Watch1
2019 Active/Active2
2020 Watch3 (last Tizen)
2021 Watch4 (WearOS)

Got the 3rd cancellation on the more expensive one. Not even going to bother with trying another model.

I did figure out a good way to report the item with eBay's limited system. Choose "Listing practices", then "Other listing practices", then "Item location misrepresentation". Click Continue, and it'll give you a text box where you can say "Items do not exist. Seller taking orders and cancelling, but not removing listings."

Quote from tiredoldbruce :
Ordered silver then black classic- both cancelled. The thing is technology hasn't advanced to the point where one can count the number of orders vs quantity in stock so there's like 300 watches available but ten thousand orders so they just charge everybody and cancel and refund 9700 orders. Maybe some day someone will figure out a way to do that.
What the hell are you talking about? We have that technology in spades, and it has existed for longer than online sales have been commonplace. It's called inventory management: counting how many of something you have and putting that in the damn database. The system tracks sales and stops selling them when it thinks you're out. You might accidentally be off by a few or someone might fat-finger an entry, but you don't get so out of whack you sell thousands more -- or even hundreds more -- unless somebody royally farks up. And on multiple listings? Nah, Samsung just didn't bother, or eBay's setup for big sellers' storefronts is utter crap -- I'd believe either story. And worse, whoever is cancelling the orders somehow doesn't have the sense, or more likely, the authority to remove the damn listings, because of bad management.

Brick and mortar stores use it to determine what to reorder without anybody doing a thing. The POS system records the sale at the register and updates the database, and a reship order is automatically generated as needed. How do you think Walmart can tell you if your brand of underwear is in stock at your local store and/or nearby stores? They also run a major inventory once a year to catch any misalignment in numbers due to unreported loss (e.g. breakage), thefts, or clerical errors (less common nowadays with automation) which is called "shrinkage". For a huge store like Walmart, 1% shrinkage is considered acceptable, which means for every 100 items they expected to have in stock, only 1 is missing when they do a count. If you want to boggle your mind, figure out how they count every item while the store is open and they're selling a million dollars in goods per week, and shelves still have to be restocked with incoming goods.

I am totally frustrated today, ordered 3 times a watch for my kid's bday, the same reason -> canceled order every time (in few mins) , out of stock....

Samsung and Ebay should do something about this issue, why to waste time if there is no product to sell ????
I got the same message from Samsung, canceled order for OOS. Why the hell do they even have it listed as available?

I think I like the idea of owning a smart watch than actually having it. It is just another thing to remember to charge everyday. Most people barely use all the features lol if you just want a step counter then buy something random off amazon that will have like week long battery.

There's also battery saver mode, when turned on, one can easily get about 2 days off of a charge with no noticable difference in use. I've had the GW3, as well as the original. The GW4 is easily the best of the bunch, but the original did have slightly better battery life although much bulkier. I do charge mine daily, not a big deal, takes about 45 min for full charge, I have the 44mm Non classic, if anyone says the old Samsung UI was better, clearly they didn't mind it being slow and buggy at times. I've owned android watches before as well, and the GW4 is the best you can get, if you're not in the Apple ecosystem.

Thats always been the typical battery life for Samsung watches
Not true. Battery life was drastically reduced with the move to Wear OS. I have a Galaxy Watch 3 (the larger one), and I'm usually down to about 20% at the end of Day 3. That's using the watch regularly, with sleep tracking and LTE. This wasn't a surprise, as Wear OS watches have always had the shortest battery life. If the Watch 4 is used for anything other than a time keeper, it has to be charged every night or every morning.
