Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 vs. Watch 6 Classic: What's the Difference?

pcmag.com:

The wait is over for Samsung's next-generation smartwatches. The company just released two new models, the Galaxy Watch 6 and the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic, at its Unpacked event, alongside a host of other hardware, including the Fold 5 and Flip 5 phones, as well as a trio of S9 tablets.

If you're in the market for a new Samsung watch and are having a hard time choosing between them, we're here to help. We highlight all the important differences between the Galaxy Watch 6 and Watch 6 Classic below (and call out the many similarities) to help you pick the right one for your needs, preferences, and budget. We plan to publish in-depth reviews of each model soon, but our initial analysis should be enough to point you in the right direction if you want to pre-order one of the watches ahead of their Aug. 11 launch date.

Before you consider buying a Galaxy Watch 6 or Watch 6 Classic, you need to make sure your phone supports it. Both models require a device that's running Android 10 or later, with more than 1.5GB of RAM. Keep in mind that Samsung restricted certain features on past models, such as electrocardiogram (ECG) measurements, to its own phones. We're not yet sure if the same is true for the new models.

Both the 40mm ($299.99) and 44mm ($329.99) versions of the Galaxy Watch 6 start at $20 more than their Galaxy Watch 5 counterparts.

Meanwhile, the 43mm and 47mm editions of the Watch 6 Classic retail for $399.99 and $429.99, respectively. For a price comparison, we have to go all the way back to the Watch 4 Classic; the 42mm and 46mm variants of that watch debuted at $349.99. The 47mm version in the new lineup is notable because 46mm is as large as we've seen Samsung go in the past.
