People keep saying that the GWU is rated for diving. No it is not. You can swim and do water sports with it but it is most certainly not rated for deep sea diving. The AWU is and maybe that's where the confusion comes from, since Samsung copied just about everything from the AWU so people just think they copied the diving capabilities, depth sensor and water temperature sensor but they didn't.

Remember, Samsung began life quite literally copying foreign companies electronics for the South Korean market, because they had bans on importing from places like Japan. It's very much in their DNA. Also remember Apple sued them and won for copying the iPhone back in the day.

1 more thing, watch is chunky because your wrist are way too small for the watch, same goes for the Apple smart Watch, If you have any knowledge regarding watches, and you supose to have if you do a review of a watch, you must know that to wear a size 47mm watch, your wrist must be big enough for it. It is not designed for small people with small wrist. I know, you as an apple user like to show off that you have a apple watch ultra, but you dont have the wrists for it, just pure show off. Buy a watch that suits your wrist size. Same I buy size 14 shoes and complain they are chunky and loose, because my feets are too small for size 14. For me personnaly as a 6 feet 9 guy, this watch does not feel chunky as it is the perfect size for me,

The no physical bezel is the dumbest decision and they will lose sales by omitting this unique Samsung feature. Exclusive Classic, sure, but stupid nonetheless. Looks wise it's a supersized Gear Sport (2017). Except that one did have the turning bezel. I'm sure they hope to sell both the Classic and the Ultra to the same buyer. When and if there's a 10 ATM Pixel XL watch I will take a long hard look at that as I can't get the turning bezel anyway. The Samsung Bioactive sensors are more advanced than what the Apple Watch sports, let's see how they perform. The AGEs is an actionable metric for improving your vascular system, which is interesting. The processor is impressive, too. Since the sensors will come to the Classic, likely 2025, the Ultra price premium brings only 10 ATM. Not enough.
