Same here (Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Classic 47mm now). I had the 43mm but the battery time difference is notable, barely above 1 day with the 43mm, comfortably 2 days with the 47mm. I got it refurbished for 100 euros a few months ago, the model came new a year or two ago.
I use it for alarms, notifications, occasionally for payment or calls, sleep and fitness tracking (no GPS), quick glance for the day's agenda (I'm in meetings all day). And time, obviously.
Oh, and one cool thing: it has a rotating bezel around the screen and it can be used to control PowerPoint presentations. Very nifty trick for when you forget your clicker.
EDIT: for completeness, I just had one smartwatch before (OG Galaxy Watch with rotating bezel), similar uses without payments. Failed after 5 years due to water ingress at a water slide. Also a Galaxy Fit 2 before that (smartband), for time notifications and steps. My wife has now a Galaxy fit 3, it's like 30 euros and does the basics.
Yeah, we have/had a bunch of samsung devices, but I wouldn't blindly recommend it to everyone, they just work for us.
I quite like samsung stuff tbh. I know we're not meant to on here but it all just works.
