Galaxy Watch 6 Classic vs Watch 5 Pro: The Ultimate Battle!

[@OrganShifter]

I set up the trade-in for my Watch 5 Pro, tried out the Watch 6 Classic for nearly 2 weeks, but decided to send it back. The slightly larger display, increased brightness, and physical rotating bezel are nice, but that's about it. On the Watch 6 Classic: > Battery life is far worse. > Build quality/materials are a step down (Stainless Steel < Titanium) > It has inferior GPS hardware/features (no GPX support). > CPU/RAM improvements are unnoticeable in real world usage. Overall, the Watch 6 Classic feels like a downgrade. The Watch 5 Pro, which also runs Wear OS 4.0/One UI 5.0, is the better choice. Imo, of course. BTW, regarding pixel density. Am I calculating wrong, or has the 321 PPI for the Watch 5 Pro been reported incorrectly since launch? Watch 6 Classic: 480 x 480 pixels = 452.55 - rounded up to 453 PPI Watch 5 Pro: 450 x 450 pixels = 454.57 - rounded up to 455 PPI

[@Fred-eh7lj]

I dont agree at all! > GPX is really not something most people want. > To have 2.5 vs 3.5 days battery means the same. You still have to charge it at night ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ > Build quality: not really. The bezels on 5 pro tends to scratches easely. Every used watch on Marketplace looks terrible for this. > CPU/RAM improvements are important on the long term I prefer the Watch 6 Classic for the look too. Looks more refined.

[@giselesmith7795]

I set up fall detection on my old Watch 4 and gave it to my mom (she is in her 90s and won't wear a necklace). Upgraded to a 6 classic ss for me . After the initial week of the watch learning my usage pattern, I am getting at least 1.5 days if I need to. I was used to charging the 4 every day so it's not a big deal to charge every day during my shower and getting ready for work. My mom loves her watch and I love mine. Win-win.

[@danabyrd4584]

Hey babe...what size did you get?❤🎉

[@giselesmith7795]

@@danabyrd4584 the 43mm classic. I tried it on at Best Buy since my 4 was 40mm and wanted to make sure I would be happy with it. My wrist has a circumference less than 6 inches. The 43mm works.

[@bertschoofs8494]

Nice that you mention fall detection. That and other safety feathers for elderly people are little discussed with smartwatches. For me, as an old man, safety is the most important reason to buy my first smartwatch: the Watch6 Classic (with LTE for best connectivity).

[@telcobilly]

I just bought a refurbed WiFi only 5 Pro for $129 this week. Indistinguishable from new, totally flawless. I already have a regular 44mm Galaxy 5 with LTE. The Pro does everything I want with the much needed battery life improvement from the regular 44mm 5. For what I paid and the quality of this watch, I'm extremely happy.

[@satinsangel1688]

Coming from the Frontier S3 and OG Galaxy Watch I originally got the 6 Classic, but strangely I felt unsatisfied. I let 2 weeks go by, and was really disappointed with the 6, the ONLY benefit it has over the 5 is that physical rotating bezel, that's even why I bought it over the 5 Pro originally. However, I experienced absolutely horrendous battery life on my 6 with only basic settings on; like 13-14hrs full. I returned my 6 Classic for the 5 Pro instead, and while I miss the bezel, that's funnily enough the only thing I miss. I'm loving that my 5 gets 3 days on full, instead of only hours, same os, same faces, and settings; entire user experience the same but I get a much better battery, lighter, and frankly better build. Not to mention I find the D Buckle band it came with to be far superior than the hybrid leather band. More comfortable for casual wear, more durable, and for me, easier to switch. I found the new one click band to be really hard to press in without digging your thumbnail into it, while the lever system on the older models is still super easy and simple. End all, I regretted getting the 6 Classic, and absolutely loving my 5 Pro; and all my watches previously had the physical rotating bezel (3).

[@satinsangel1688]

Additionally with the Rinke Inner Bezel and Rinke Slim Case, I find it can be just as dressed up as the Classic, not to mention I can change the exterior color; silver one day, then black, then white. No longer just a sports watch.

Galaxy Watch 5 Pro, battery is amazing

[@wys0123]

Not as great as apple watch ultra but for sure, for android users, it's life changing. Any watch should last full two+ with AOD....ideally.

[@noneofmybusiness9895]

Yeah, I just bought the 6 classic. I want to like it, but I've found that I have to be careful and aware in order to get 1.5 days out of it. That's AOD off, brightness turned down, clearing apps so they aren't running in background, limiting notifications, including volume and vibration strength. I mean, I want a smart watch to be able to enjoy the features and not worry about "being energy responsible". Also, I'm all about touch screens and intuitive controls - the rotating bezel adds nothing for me. I think I'm going to take it back and get the 5 pro.

[@wys0123]

@@noneofmybusiness9895 I just have AOD and it's the safe 24hrs+... I wouldn't really count on less than 6hrs. I just kept auto brightness and just charge whenever I can. From multiple gen on my hand. Trade in from Samsung. I have multiple chargers laying around me one for EDC and one for car charge. This has been working. It's no different from charging phone every night. Little more annoying wear on and off.

[@eoh8915]

Having dealt over the years with phones that inconveniently run low on juice at inopportune times, I've learned that for me - on phones - battery and camera are key. In the Android environment, I can't imagine that a smartwatch would not have similar priorities. I need the juice to not have to think about planning a charge while out for the day. I get that the 6 is shiny and new and looks slightly better, but if I'm focused on the battery - its not for me. I'm almost willing to bet that the watch 7 will resolve the battery issue and be ' the best yet'. But until then, I'll stick eith the Watch 5 pro.

In fairness to the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro I just wasn't as inclined to use many of its health applications (for example) in comparison to the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic that is likely to be more a part of my daily activities. It's so hard to ignore the beauty of the Watch 6 Classic on my wrist, and the fabric watch band is just what the tech doctor ordered!

5 Pro or wait for 6 pro classic is very nice but the battery life isn't worth it to me I get 3 days out of my 5 and titanium is way more durable then stainless steel.

[@avroneelbiswas]

Given the choice between the Watch5 Pro and the 6 Classic, I would opt for the 6 Classic. The less precise GPS in the 5 Pro raises concerns about the reliability of the Trackback option. While the 5 Pro boasts Titanium and sapphire glass, I believe I can achieve sufficient protection with a quality Spigen cover for the 6 Classic

Have been using watch 6 classic LTE version for past 3 weeks , Battery life is so so poor and pathetic .. Even in powe saver mode where always on display is off , you can hardly squeeze in a day even if you are a light user if power saver is NOT activated with always on display it WILL NOT LAST for a day , will die in about 12 hours or so . These watches make sense with always on NOT with always on - switched off . So it makes sense to go for watch 5 pro and flaunt it with always on display and still getting thru for a full day comfortably with medium usage .

Bro, I have 2 watch 5 pros... I had the black lte, and it scratched so easily. I had to go ahead and get the grey. The grey hides scratches extremely well you wouldn't notice or see it cos of the silverish color. That been said I had the case on the black from wringke but I realise it gets dirt underneath it and actually messed up the watch more than it protects it, as I speak to you now, I just gave my black to my big brother who had the regular watch 5, and I am just rocking the grey without any protection. Oh, and if you like styling, look into the wringke bezel styling it's amazing. Get a silver for the grey and black for the black, or interchanged, it goes perfectly well anyway. I wish I could show you the pictures of mine, but if you check KZbin, there is a guy online that did reviews on bezel style for watch 5pro. Just type that in the search bar.

Trust me the watch is a tank. Definitely doesn't hurt to throw on a case if you don't like scratches though.

The Gear S5 Pro is the watch (didn't like it too much) I traded in for the Watch 6 Classic (silver). In my opinion, I love the new Watch 6 Classic over the S5 Pro and only got the new watch 6 for 150 bucks after trade in and all. May I ask, which watch face is that in your video?

[@christiankollar3306]

Thanks for your time and help choosing the right watch for me! You made my decision clear. I now have the Watch 3 with Tizen operating system and want to switch to a wear os platform. The Oneplus watch 2 or the Ticwatch are falling flat for me. (I hope i got this right - I'm from Austria and my native language is german). As you mentioned the rotating bezel is king! And in my country the watch 6 classic is a lot cheaper than the 5 pro. And i got used to charging every 2 days. Again thanks and thumbs up for you! Greetings from Austria!

The touch bezel is a massive downgrade from the physical one and I am very happy that it returned. My Frontier died a few months ago so I switched to the 5 pro, and I am really missing the bezel. Not using the digital one anymore. I've tried it for several weeks, but it is just not working for me. Maybe this is also related to my size (almost two meters, with proportional hands), but I've used the physical bezel a lot. If I would have too much money I would probably try the 6, but I don't have too much and I really hate the battery downgrade as well. And, like said before, I just switched a few months ago. But if the next generation has both the physical bezel and good battery life again, I might switch watches before my current one dies on it's own ^^
