I've been searching for a smartwatch (and I think one with WearOS would be the best choice), mainly for setting up reminders/check calendar, control music, heartrate monitor, whatsapp notifications, google maps and keep track of very simple fitness activity.
I've found the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic on ebay for like 60$ but with all the shipping and import fees it gets to 100$. Is it still worth it now in 2025 or should I get another newer smartwatch for a similar price, if it exists? Thank you!

A couple of months ago, I posted about getting the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic, and after using it with my Huawei Mate 30 Pro for a while, I wanted to share my honest thoughts.
Battery life: The watch lasts around 2 to 3 days on a full charge, which is decent but not amazing. If you use GPS or always-on display frequently, expect it to drain faster.
Performance: Overall, it runs smoothly, but there is some lag, especially when scrolling quickly through apps. It’s not a dealbreaker for me, as it doesn’t affect normal usage too much.
Compatibility with Huawei Mate 30 Pro: Even though my phone doesn’t have Google services, the watch still works fine. Some features may be limited without Samsung Health syncing perfectly, but I haven’t had major issues with notifications or basic smartwatch functions.
Final thoughts: If you’re okay with slightly older hardware and minor lag, the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic is still a solid smartwatch in 2025. The design is premium, the rotating bezel is great, and it still holds up well for daily use.
