Well-priced. Comfortable to wear. However, it still lacks broad app support. (From 2021)

watches—has decided to try a different approach and throw its lot in with Google instead.

The idea is to pool Android phone owners to one smartwatch OS, thereby incentivizing app developers to build apps for the platform. Both Tizen and Wear OS have suffered from a dearth of apps on their respective stores—and we all know what happens when you don't have enough of those It will take time to see new apps on Wear OS, but the latest Watch4 range is already giving me hope.

The Classic is made of stainless steel, so it's more durable than the aluminum Watch4. It also retains the popular mechanical rotating bezel, so you can physically move the edge around the screen to scroll through the interface on the watch. The Watch4 sticks with a digital bezel that accomplishes the same thing, like on the, but it doesn't have the satisfying, tactile click as you wheel through menus.

Both are attractive, round watches, and they sit comfortably on the wrist, but is a mechanical bezel and stainless steel worth $100 more? I don't think so. You should worry more about choosing the right size, and whether you want LTE. Smaller wrists will gravitate to smaller watches, but beware: You'll get a smaller battery.

I tested the 40-mm Watch4 and the 46-mm Watch4 Classic. The former barely lasted a full day, and that's without the always-on display sucking up power. It always required charging before bed if I wanted to track my sleep. The larger Classic, however, kept the lights on for a full day and a half, even after sleep tracking. It was slightly less with AoD, but not by much. Go for the bigger sizes if your wrist will allow it.
