Congrats! It's great you found some good deals.

That's a nice change from the Watch Active 2 to the Watch 6 Classic. I upgraded from the Watch 3 to the Watch 6 Classic.

About the only thing I miss is that my Watch 3 had better battery life & I really liked the Tizen watch faces. Some of my favorite designers do not create faces for Wear OS. Outside of that, all seems to be good! 👍

Enjoy!!

What is the lug to lug distance in mm of the Watch 6?
I have the 43mm Watch 6 Classic. The lug to lug on from the watch band connections looks to be 50.8mm.
I wear my watch on my wrist where it is about 5 1/2" around & it just barely makes it without the watch band connectors hanging out beyond my wrist. 😀

My husband has the 47mm Watch 6 Classic & the lug distance is about 57.15.

The regular Watch 6 comes in 40mm & 44mm, so the lug distance would be smaller but I don't have one to measure. I would think a 40mm will come in about 45.9mm & a 44mm would come in at about 49.7mm.
That's what the distances were on the 40mm & 44mm Watch 4s.

I hope this helps!

Is this what you are asking about?

"All models in the Galaxy Watch 6 family support standard 20mm straps because, despite the fancy button, the included straps also meet that standard. If you have a fancy strap on your current watch that you want to bring to the Watch 6 or see something you like in our collection of the best Watch 6 straps, they'll work perfectly."

I swapped bands between my Watch 6 Classic and Watch 4. I have the black silicon sport band on my silver Watch 6 Classic. I like the look with the black and silver.

I went with the length (from the outer end of one watch band connector to the outer end of the other watch band connector) & you went with the watch band mm, so hopefully we have it covered.
😊

The deals were too hard to pass up. With tags, title, tax, and trade in, it was around $700 for all three watches.

So you went from top to bottom then? I've always thought watch band lugs were measured by width.
Width is distance between the two lugs on the same side top or bottom, which you need to know to get the proper strap size. For example, I have a regular dive watch that takes a 20mm strap. Lug to lug is the distance from a lug on the top to a lug on the bottom same side. Lug to lug on this watch is 46mm. The case size (diameter not including the crown) is 40mm.

I think the dimensions of my watch look more realistic on this NATO strap.

Ah. I understand. My next question is. Why does that matter measuring lug to lug (top to bottom) distance?

A watch doesn't look good on most people if the lugs extend past the wearer's wrist diameter. I have a 42mm watch that still is wearable by me because it has short lugs despite its larger diameter.

That's a good explanation. 👍

I like your watch also. It's very attractive 😍!

I can see that. I've seen women who are so petite that even a women's watch looks big on them. The irony is they are using big phones.
I have a 6¾ inch wrist, so the tiny watches look more like charm bracelets on me, but I know what you're saying. It's interesting how watch sizes are so much bigger now than in the past. Standard size men's watches from the 1950s are frequently smaller than current women's watches.

I got the second one (with trade in) for jut over $170. The funny part is people are selling theirs for over $300 on Facebook Market Place.

I have a black leather band on each for now. I have a blue leather, a brown leather, and the original white leather bands that I can swap between them.
