Is the 6 Classic still the nicest Galaxy Watch? Score the silver rotating bezel model at the $279 low (Reg. $400)

Reg. $400 $279
Galaxy Watch 6 Classic

Amazon is now offering the silver 43mm Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Classic down at $278.56 shipped. You’re looking at a regular $400 wearable with a deep $120 price drop that undercuts the Samsung sale price by $51 right now. Today’s deal is the lowest we have ever tracked on Amazon for this configuration and the lowest price we can find. While I do like the black case model, that one will run you the same $329.99 shipped sale price Samsung is offering right now now, and it just doesn’t have that same traditional timepiece vibe for me. I’ll explain below. 

It might not be the new Galaxy Watch 7, but just on looks alone I still think the 6 Classic is the nicest Samsung wearable ever released and especially so with the silver model. 

The Ultra does look impressive and is, frankly, a far more powerful piece of tech, but it loses some of the elegance of the 6 Classic to me. Not everyone needs (or looks good) in a giant oversized, scuba-ready, trail watch like that, but just about anyone looks great in a round silver-cased 43mm in my opinion.

I like the cushion case vibes on the new Ultra, but the rounded silver Classic with the rotating bezel – a feature some say the Ultra should definitely have  – and the coin edge etched aesthetics are simply second to none in the smartwatch game to me. It has just enough of what makes a traditional timepiece so alluring for many, while still packing in all of the health and fitness tracking tech, messaging, voice control, and everything else the Samsung smartwatch ecosystem brings to a wrist near you. 

I might also argue that the 43mm model hits right in the sweet spot in terms of size. While some folks certainly have a wrist large to enough to avoid that awkward oversized look a 47mm+ timepiece arguably requires, if you ask me, most folks don’t.
