Looking at Samsung Smart watches. Which one is recommended between $40 and $60 used? First time having a Smart Watch

[EpicSurvivor]

So ebay has the Samsung Galaxy Watch3 R840 used/refurbished for $50. I never had a smart watch before so I was wondering if there might be better options used/refurbished between $40 and $70?
According to my Google search this is the 2020 model?
Link to the eBay listing for the Galaxy s3 R840

I don't like Apple and I would rather stay with the Galaxy Line for Smart Watches.

I appreciate any input and help I can get.

Thanks

your budget is way, way too low. Go up to around $150. You'll get a nice Samsung smartwatch used. I recommend Watch 4 or 5. No less.

Don't get the Watch 3 at this point. Samsung is all-in on Wear OS now, and the Watch 3 was the last model running Tizen. I'd look for a Watch 4 at least, and even the Watch 5 is steeply discounted now that its successor might be around the corner.

I love my 3 watch. Best looking Samsung watch IMO. the 4 and 5 look like smartwatches, IE, plastic. The 3 looks like a watch to me.

Rumor is that the Galaxy Watch 6 Pro might return the physical bezel. With that said, I agree to an extent about the existing models. The Apple Watch feels more like an upscale timepiece than Samsung's current offerings, at least in steel and titanium versions.

I have a GW4 classic 46mm and like it, but the battery life has degraded over time. I would get the GW6 if it brings the bezel back. I actually like the look of the GW much better than the Apple watch, the bezel models actually look like nice watches and not just tech gadgets, especially if you replace the strap with a leather one.

If it's useful for anyone else, this helped quite a bit with the battery life.

I just upgraded to a 4 from the original Galaxy Watch (I also prefer the rotating bezel). The 4 goes a couple days for me, which I still feel is acceptable (I usually throw it on the charger when I'm getting ready and it's fine). I read somewhere that the next Wear OS update is supposed to be better for battery life, but then they usually say that.
