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

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

The Apple Watch Series 6 is the best version of the best smartwatch in the world. But it might not be the right device for you. The classier materials, new colors and always-on display are key reasons to buy, as are ECG and SpO2 for those looking for a health watch.

SpO2 and ECG, New colors, The best version of the best smartwatch

The Apple Watch Series 6 may seem like an incremental upgrade, but the introduction of blood oxygen monitoring is a game-changer. And the brighter always-on display is welcome. Yes, there’s not much different from the Apple Watch 5 to the Apple Watch 6, but the SpO2 monitor is a tool you might find...

Blood oxygen (SpO2) app, New colorful casings, Brighter always-on display, Faster charging

Same 18-hour battery life

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

My Smartwatch Series 6 is a really nice. It has a ton of features, it's durable, and it is user friendly. My only complaint is the battery resilience. I question the specs stating 48 hours of standby time. With a full charge and standing by, I see 36 hours at best.

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

Connected to realise you can’t use your mobile data if your phone service is prepaid. Hence not all the features work. If you are on a plan, then you pay extra monthly fee to connect your Apple Watch. The watch is now back in its box, in the cupboard, never to be used.

The Apple Watch Series 6 is the best smartwatch on the market for an iPhone. It has better integration with the iPhone and is fast, fluid and responsive in a way that many rivals simply aren’t.

Pros: excellent haptics, great always-on screen, ECG, great health tracking, great activity tracking, 50m water resistance, solid battery, comfortable, quick-swap straps, Apple Pay.

Cons: expensive, only works with an iPhone, sleep tracking not great, blood oxygen data not that useful.

I've tried to steer clear in this review of the usual journalistic obsession with "What's new?" But in the final reckoning we simply have to acknowledge that not much has changed since the Series 5.
