I picked up a used 6 classic and it turned out to be amazing. I was really surprised by the battery life of it as well as the fitness features are also very good.
And also tinkering with adb lol
It gives me approx 1.5 days on a full charge. I started at 8 am (100%) to 11 pm (30% left) and slept with it and woke up next day with about 16% battery. (All without using any apps except the health app, calls, maps and AOD all the time)
The sleep tracking is so good bro. I would say all the health related features are better than apple watch, for me.
But the overall ui of 6 classic is not so smooth because it's old ig (recently switched from apple)
And I've been installing apps like yt, instagram and Reddit. They work but not so great.
Most recently had had galaxy watch 6 classic 43mm, watch 7 44mm, and watch 8 40mm, all great watches . Wanted to go back to pixel watch since all the improvements so I sold my watch 7 and got the pixel watch 4 45mm.. it's my favorite of them all now. Great display and battery life is the best out of them all.
Not true that Wear OS can't work with iOS. There are no official apps, but Bridge and Rulia Sync (search this reddit) both work well for notifications
NFC payments (via Google pay), GPS (offline map apps only) can also work standalone on the watch
As for other functions, including replying to messages ... any apps that require internet are probably not functioning right now, as iOS cannot transfer internet to Wear OS
I have a Galaxy watch 6 classic and notifications GPS all work fine when paired with iOS
I have 3, so I rotate them in and out all day long. 5 Pro, 6 Classic and Ultra. I love them all for different reasons, and love having options. I use the 6 Classic to track sleep. Of the three, it works the best. I was surprised that the Ultra wasn't the best, but it isn't.
