Hello everyone. I'm looking to buy a smartwatch and my budget is 10k. Would Samsung Watch 4 Classic still be a decent choice in 2024? Are Noise and Fireboltt trusted brands?
 
I'm also interested in watch 4 Classic LTE , but can't make up my mind to buy it cause it's 3 year old model now. ( I have used it for 3 weeks and absolutely loved it).
Lets see what other members suggest.
 
I am using the Watch 4 LTE since last 1 year. Terrific watch, no other watch comes close in competition. Blind buy in this price range.

What is the expected lifespan of these smartwatches? The top review for yours says:



Also, how does one know if the sensors maintain their accuracy over the spans of months and years?

Idk for sure but can tell you from my personal experience and my friend's, watch working perfectly for more than 18 months now for my friend. Mine is 15 month old. Sensors work correctly as my brother uses watch 8, and I cross checked the readings and matched with his watch.

It learns on the usage. It took about 10 days for mine to calibrate to my usage. Then the battery backup shot up to 36 to 40hrs easily.

I concur. Similar battery life for my watch 4 classic as well, with everything (except LTE) enabled.

Samsung is now known for giving the most accurate sensors like whoop, polar or Garmin. But they get the job done. In my personal experience, it only struggled for zone 5 workouts, but only a few times.
 
Had a Samsung Gear S3 watch. After a year the battery just lasts for one day. When it was new the battery lasted for 3 days and with activities turned on the battery used to last for 2 days. Not sure if Samsung has improved the battery backup on their new watches.
 
Is there any better option than galaxy watch 4 classic under 10k,
I liked the rotating bezel of this watch that is probably the primary reason I wanted to buy it. Is there any other watch with rotating bezel.

What exactly is your use case?

Music, workout tracking, knowing who is calling me while I'm on bike, and that bezel to control volume without looking at the screen ( this was probably what I used most last time )
 
Then get the watch 4 lte ,its simply unmatched in this price range and don't worry about battery life it easily last 2 days and chargers within 1hr 40 mins

Controlling music playback features from the watch is okay when mobile is playing your music. But playing it off the watch outright will eat a crap ton of battery.

how much is the difference ? I don't play music more than 3 hours in a day. so it should atleast last for a day.
