Name: Google Pixel Watch 4
Brand: Google
Availability: PreOrder
Rating: 4.8 (1250 reviews)

The Galaxy Watch 6 Classic uses stainless steel while the standard Galaxy Watch 6 uses Armor aluminum. This material difference affects weight, durability, appearance, and price.

Quick Comparison

Property	Stainless Steel (Classic)	Armor Aluminum (Watch 6)
Weight	52-59g	28-33g
Scratch Resistance	Very Good	Good
Dent Resistance	Excellent	Moderate
Repairability	Can polish out scratches	Harder to repair
Appearance	Premium, traditional	Modern, sporty
Corrosion Resistance	Excellent	Good (with coating)
Price Impact	+$100	Baseline

Durability in Real Life

Stainless Steel (Classic):

Resists scratches from daily contact
Highly dent-resistant — survives bumps well
Can be polished to remove light marks
Excellent for ocean swimmers (salt-resistant)
Maintains appearance for years

Armor Aluminum (Watch 6):

More prone to scratches (shows through coating)
Can dent from significant impacts
Harder to repair cosmetic damage
Still reasonably durable for daily wear

Long-Term Wear

After 1-2 years, stainless steel typically shows minor surface scratches that can be polished out. Aluminum may show visible wear marks with scratches through the coating. Both remain fully functional.

Which to Choose

Choose Stainless Steel (Classic) if:

Premium appearance matters
You work in professional settings
Durability is a priority
You want the rotating bezel (only available with steel)
You prefer traditional watch aesthetics

Choose Aluminum (Watch 6) if:

Lightweight is your priority
Budget is a concern ($100 savings)
Modern, sporty look appeals more
You want the lightest possible for sleep tracking
You prefer the gold color option (aluminum only)

Care Differences

Stainless Steel: Wipe with soft cloth, rinse after salt/sweat, occasional microfiber polish to maintain shine.

Aluminum: Wipe with soft cloth, rinse after activities, avoid abrasive surfaces. Scratches are harder to repair.
