What size band does the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 Classic - LTE · 42mm take?

Between 10 hours and 2 days per charge, depending on the power mode. Samsung rates Smartwatch at 2 days and GPS at 10 hours; the chart above lists all 2 modes.

Is the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 Classic - LTE · 42mm thick for a 42mm watch?

At 11.2mm, thinner than 74% of 42mm watches, so it slides under a cuff more easily than most of its size. Thickness, not case width, is what decides whether a watch catches on a shirt cuff.

Should I get the 41.5mm or 45.5mm Galaxy Watch 4 Classic - LTE?

The Galaxy Watch 4 Classic - LTE comes in 2 case sizes — 41.5mm, 45.5mm. Which one suits you depends on the flat width of your wrist rather than preference: the larger sizes need a wider wrist to sit inside the edge. Set your measurement in the size picker above and each variant reports its clearance in millimetres.

What other watches are the same size as the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 Classic - LTE · 42mm?

Certina DS Action Chrono PVD / Carbon / Bracelet, Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch 3861 Moonshine Gold / Black Lacquer, TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph Seafarer Stainless Steel / Silver, Huawei Watch 5 - 42mm all sit within half a millimetre of the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 Classic - LTE · 42mm's 41.5mm case, so they cover the same amount of wrist.
