The 2GB of RAM could be transformative. I love my Watch 5, but the main complaint I have is even if all you're doing is using one app and the home screen, it really struggles with smoothness in transitions and responsiveness. A doubling in RAM could be what it takes to improve it.

I've noticed this too. My Watch 5 seems laggy at times even when it's not doing much.
The battery life bump from my 4 to the 6 isn't much at all, so I don't see a need to upgrade. I may do a trade in, but I somehow have two 4's.
This ^^
I bought the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic for the bezel even though the 5 was out. I just needed a stopgap until the 6 came out. As long as the reviews are promising, I'm excited to upgrade. That said, the 4 is working just fine and I haven't run into any limitations.
Shit I was worried when I bought the 5 Pro that they'd bring the clicky bezel back, but figured it would be something they commit to doing (moving part=failure point).
Welp.
Anyone know if Rogers in Canada actually supports this one properly?
What would be a reason to get one over something like a Fitbit?
