Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 - Still a good buy?
Extreme battery drain on Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 after update. How can I fix this? I haven't made any changes to the watch after the update.

i recommend: switch to samsung watch face for the moment if not already using one.
do a Wipe Cache Partition.
hope it helps!

2021 Samsung developed smartwatch
So i'm usually a classic watch guy, so i've been out of the loop on digital watches as i have basically refused to buy one so far. That also means i have limited knowledge. I have recently started to work out more, mostly running, and i find that i really could use a lot of the features from smartwatches. I do not want to spend a lot of money on one, as i don't see myself using it every single day, and i want to find out if i actually enjoy using one first. So under $200 is preferable. I know there are many brands outside the "phone brands" like Garmin, Polar etc, but i bought an S23 as my new phone this summer and i guess it makes most sense to buy a Galaxy watch then? It seems like the Galaxy Watch 4 is on sale now this month and i can get one for under $200, which seems fair. But i know the newest is 6 now. Is a Galaxy Watch 4 still a good buy? Is it going to fulfill my needs?
My criteria for a smartwatch is basically that i should be able to use Spotify on it, so i don't have to bring my phone when going for a run, that it tracks my runs and i can see my runs on the map, and that it works with apps like Strava. I don't really care about having notifications and stuff when i am going for a 30 min run or something, so i guess BT version will suffice? Any advice?
