The Apple Watch 6 has arrived—the latest in the series to bring Apple’s most up to date tech to the smartwatch space. Launched alongside a new operating system (OS7) for all models down to the Apple Watch 3, the new Apple Watch 6 comes with a new brighter screen, the long overdue addition of sleep...

Poor battery life, Requires iPhone, Premium price tag

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

Almost all the reviews of the Apple Watch Series 6 say the same thing: Yeah, it’s great, but it’s an incremental upgrade, and if you already have a Series 5, skip the upgrade. That’s sage advice, I guess, especially in the middle of a crushing pandemic that’s ruined the economy, left millions...

Bought the gold stainless steel version because it looks like a piece of jewellery and matches my iphone. Also the added bonus is that this version comes with sapphire glass which is tougher

Every year, I would open my drawer and look at my dress watches. Inevitably, they don’t work, the lack of usage resulting in their batteries’ death. The Apple Watch is the cause of it.

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

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
