You take your health for granted, right up to the point where a global pandemic makes it abundantly clear just how fragile we all are. I’ve not taught myself a new language during lockdown, or written a bestselling novel, but for the past six months the Apple Watch Series 6 on my wrist has...

Tight integration with iPhone, Comprehensive fitness tracking, Blood oxygen and ECG sensors are useful & reassuring, Long battery life

Siri can be hit & miss still, Cellular version gets expensive

The Apple Watch Series 6 boasts plentiful features that focus on health tracking and wellness. While it's an exceptional fitness tracker that comes with hundreds of app options to optimize your needs, it's not ideal for GPS tracking as its accuracy isn't as good in covered areas.

Excellent and numerous features, integrates across software platforms easily, easy to set up and use, sleek and low profile, quick updates

Poor battery life (both smartwatch and GPS settings), inconsistent GPS accuracy, difficult to find some features, can only be used with an iPhone

“The Apple Watch Series 6 is the most complete smartwatch package you can buy, and if you want the very best of everything Apple's wearable offers, it's the one to get.”

The Apple Watch Series 6 isn’t a huge upgrade over the Series 5, but it does enough to keep Apple’s wearable firmly in the lead.

New colors add newness to a timeless design, Excellent mix of foreground and background features, Impressive array of features and sensors

Battery life hasn’t improved, On-demand blood-oxygen readings are finicky

Now that Apple is pushing an affordable Apple Watch, do you really need the high-end Series 6?...

Apple debuted the new Apple Watch Series 6 earlier this month and I've been testing out the new (PRODUCT)RED 44mm GPS model. At first glance it doesn't seem much different than the Apple Watch Series 5 , but there's more than meets the eye.

Gorgeous, refined hardware, Bright and useful always-on mode, Blood oxygen sensor, Sleep tracking capability, Excellent third party application support

Expensive, Battery life about the same as Series 5, Limited sleep details

Despite the new sensors feeling like a tick-box exercise, there's still no better smartwatch on the market. It's just that this time around it offers many features you'll want, along with many that you aren't aware you'd want, plus lots that you'll simply never use.

New dimmed display option, Display is brighter than before, Fluid performance, Lovely design options for both size options

No game-changing improvements over Series 5, Sleep tracking raises battery charging questions, Altimeter doesn't feel well executed, Why do we have a blood oxygen monitor?

The Apple Watch S6 is the best all-rounder smartwatch on the market, especially for iPhone users, but there are better deals to be had.

Brighter display, Zero lag, Comfortable (even when sleeping), Faster charging

Could do with more use cases for bloody oxygen function, Battery life could be better, In reality, not a huge jump from Apple Watch Series 5

Not a huge update, and battery life is still poor, but the Apple Watch is still the best smartwatch you can buy

Brighter always on display, Great fitness tracking accuracy, Stylish and responsive

Short battery life

Apple just made the Watch even better and although not a lot has changed, it’s still the best smartwatch you can buy.

Great performance, Great screen, Useful health features

Poor sleep tracking, Still have to charge every day
