The watch body is made of stainless steel, and it feels sturdy, partly because of this material and partly because of the raised bezel ring around the screen, which protects the display from knocks and bumps. It’s also quite a thick watch, which makes it hard to wear with tighter clothing, and uncomfortable in bed.

Unlike on most other watches, where you can adjust the angle of the strap relative to the body, on the Watch 4 Classic (and the standard Watch 4), the straps can only protrude perpendicularly from the sides of the body, which results in a sizable gap between the strap and your wrist on either side of the body you can see this issue in the image of the standard Watch 4 below – and we'd consider our wrists to be pretty average-sized.Īs a result we found the Galaxy Watch a little uncomfortable to wear, although depending on your wrist size you might not have the same experience. The watch comes in silver or black finishes – your choice will determine the color of the straps in the box, as well as the body and bezel of the watch.

The strap in the box is made from fluoroelastomer, a silicon-like material that can be a little comfier than the rubber some smartwatch bands are made out of, and can also be a little less of an irritant, which is important for people with skin conditions. The Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 Classic consists of the main body and interchangeable bands – although we found it a little tricky to change the bands on this device compared to other watches, due to their small levers, so your mileage might vary. That’s a lot for a smartwatch, especially given that there are plenty of feature-packed rivals costing a third of the price, although it’s worth pointing out that the starting price for the Apple Watch 7 is slightly higher. The table above shows you the prices for the different configurations available – for context, the Galaxy Watch 4, which is available in 40mm and 44mm sizes, starts at $249.99 / £249 / AU$399 and goes up to $329.99 / £309 (about AU$580). Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 Classic prices Size So why have we only given the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic three-and-a-half stars, when its non-classic equivalent got four? Well, the design upgrades aren’t quite enough to excuse some issues in key areas, which made the overall experience of using the watch a muddled affair. It also gives the wearable added protection against everyday knocks and bumps, which for clumsy people (like this reviewer) is super-useful. This also gives the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic a more premium appearance, with a chunky ring around the display that more closely resembles the design of classic wristwatches.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 Classic at Samsung for $214.99.The big change here is the presence of a physical rotating bezel – you can easily navigate through menus or pages simply by twisting this, and it’s one of the watch’s best features, especially because the ‘virtual bezel’ on the standard Watch 4, which requires you to stroke the edges of the screen to interact with the device, doesn’t work too well.
