Thats weird. Why did they downgrade the watch material and the battery?

[samsamsamsamsamsam]

Because... cost.

so it can no longer do Standalone like the smartwatch 4 with the Carriers and requires a Cell phone plan plus a watch plan for the LTE version... NICE DOWNGRADE!!! and it costs more WOW what a deal who was the genius who thought of doing that AND not correcting the Marketing Material....  ...

I loved it all the way up until I traded it in for the Ultra.

It is an issue of convenience of bevel vs. the extras size screen (43mm on G6 vs 47mm on G6 Classic) or saving battery power.

The 4 extra mm isn't that much, but supporting the physical bevel could ''eat more power'' as well.

Then there is the finances, the monthly Device fee will be $1.25 for the Reg. Watch6, & $5.41 for the Classic…

Also, I'm curious if anyone heard anything else about the ins & outs of daily use of these watches on internet forums or reviews. Thanks in advance!

I've always been a big fan of the 44mm regular version for workouts. I like the classic style but it has traditionally been more bulky which I don't care for for runs. It's all about use case I suppose.

I think the biggest question is what fits your style. Functionality and performance is the same. Are you looking for a modern and sporty looking smartwatch? Then it's the Watch 6. Are you looking for something a bit more premium and classy looking? It's the Watch 6 Classic. Personally, I like a watch that looks like a classic watch, so the "Classic" is the one I ordered.

Agree totally! If you want something that looks like a fitness tracker then get the 6. If you want something that looks good when you want to dress up for a night out then you'll want the 6 Classic.

[samsamsamsamsamsam]

Do people actually think someone is looking at your watch when you go out? Is this what we've come to believe in any society?

[Jayem26]

Absolutely! People who know watches notice them. I got two compliments in the past week about my 6 Classic. And someone else who got the 6 liked my D band better than his...
