Apple Watch Series 6 GPS, 40mm Blue Aluminium Case with Deep Navy Sport Band - Regular

Product Information

While the Series 6 can also upgrade to the 8th-gen version too, and many newer ones that get released, we tested it on watchOS 7. Apple Watch Series 6 (GPS + Cellular) can use a cellular connection for Emergency SOS. To use Emergency SOS on an Apple Watch without cellular, your iPhone needs to be nearby. If your iPhone isn’t nearby, your Apple Watch needs to be connected to a known Wi-Fi network and you must set up Wi-Fi Calling.

But before we get to that, let's just remind ourselves what a blood oxygen (or SPO2) sensor actually does. Firing red and infra-red light under the skin, the diodes on the underside of the Apple Watch 6 can read the color of your blood, and work out from that how much oxygen you're pumping around. Charge times are from 0–80% and 0–100% using the included Apple Watch Magnetic Fast Charging USB‑C Cable. Testing conducted by Apple in August 2023 using pre‑production Apple Watch Ultra 2 (GPS + Cellular) paired with iPhone; all devices tested with pre‑release software, Apple Watch Magnetic Fast Charging USB‑C Cable (Model A2515) and Apple 20W USB‑C Power Adapter (Model A2305). Charge time varies with region, settings and environmental factors; actual results will vary. The Samsung Galaxy Watch3 offered similar battery life in testing, but the Fitbit Sense lasted around three days. Apple's new smartwatch focuses on health. One of Series 6's most talked about features is the new pulse oximeter, or blood oxygen meter. Thanks to a built-in Sp02 sensor, it is capable of analysing O2 concentration in just 15 seconds. And that's not all. It can even perform electrocardiograms via the ECG app. Simply rest your finger on the Digital Crown. If any signs of anomalies, such as irregular arrhythmias, are detected, the app alerts the user, providing comprehensive data. In addition, the watch monitors sleep (helping you to create routines for more restful nights), keeps tabs on your physical activity and suggests training sessions, features an altimeter that measures in real-time, and is waterproof up to 50 m. It even reminds you to wash your hands regularly! Different Models, Different PricesApple Watch All-Day Battery Life testing was conducted by Apple in August 2020 using preproduction Apple Watch Series 6 (GPS) and Apple Watch Series 6 (GPS + Cellular), each paired with an iPhone; all devices were tested with prerelease software. Battery life varies by use, cellular coverage, configuration, and many other factors; actual results will vary. See apple.com/batteries and apple.com/watch/battery.html for more information. A subscription is required for Oceanic+. Available on the App Store. Always follow diving protocols, and dive with a companion and have a secondary device. Apple Watch Series 9 has a water resistance rating of 50 metres under ISO standard 22810:2010. This means that it may be used for shallow-water activities like swimming in a pool or ocean. However, Apple Watch Series 9 should not be used for scuba diving, waterskiing, or other activities involving high-velocity water or submersion below shallow depth. Water resistance is not a permanent condition and can diminish over time. For additional information, see support.apple.com/en-gb/HT205000.

As ever, battery life on a new Apple Watch is strange. Once again, we regularly got far longer than the advertised 18 hours between charges, usually hitting around 28-30 hours before needing to reach for the charging cable. Perhaps the watch's biggest strength remains the App Store, which lets you browse and install apps right on the watch itself. With more than 20,000 Apple Watch apps available, it easily has the largest, highest-quality third-party selection of any wearable. Apple Watch Series 9 has a water resistance rating of 50 metres under ISO standard 22810:2010. This means that it may be used for shallow-water activities like swimming in a pool or ocean.

Water resistance is not a permanent condition and can diminish over time. For additional information, see support.apple.com/en‑gb/HT205000.One element we didn’t use much was Walkie-Talkie mode – in the last year, we’ve found that the people we would chat to (while hilariously saying ‘over’ at the end of each sentence) using this method has dropped to the point where we now feel like we’re just going to be irritating by requesting a chat. Firstly, let's not forget that it's been around as an option on other wearables like the Fitbit Charge 4 (and phones, including members of the Samsung Galaxy range) for a long time now. Apple Watch Series 1 has a water resistance rating of IPX7 under IEC standard 60529. Apple Watch Series 1 is splash and water resistant, but submerging it is not recommended. Placing the Watch higher up our arm helped with the accuracy (as it’s easier for the sensor to read the pulse through the skin here), but it wasn’t comfortable and fell forwards eventually.

But you still need to work out when you’re going to find that 90-minute window each day to charge your Watch, if you’re not going to do it overnight, which is frustrating. The Apple Watch Series 6 design is the same as that of any recent Apple Watch (as in, from the Apple Watch 4 onwards). Apple Watch Ultra 2 has a water resistance rating of 100 metres under ISO standard 22810. It may be used for recreational scuba diving (with compatible third-party app from the App Store) to 40 metres and high-speed water sports. Apple Watch Ultra 2 should not be used for diving below 40 metres. Water resistance is not a permanent condition and can diminish over time. For additional information, see support.apple.com/en‑gb/HT205000. watchOS 10 requires an Apple Watch SE, Apple Watch Ultra, or Apple Watch Series 4 or later paired with iPhone XS, iPhone XR, or later with iOS 17 or later.The Watch 6 also charges much faster than previous models – in a side-by-side comparison with the Watch SE, from 0% the Watch 6 was fully charged in 75 minutes, while the Watch SE, with the older S5 chip, took 100 minutes to fill up. However, combined with the ability to take an ECG and monitor your heart's regular output, it's still a comfort, and those with heart conditions would probably still gravitate towards the Watch 6 as a result. Apple Watch 6 fitness We'd rather there was an option for just a very, very dimly-glowing set of numbers for the time – we don't want to see the whole watch face, just a little view of the time that's not distracting. Apple Watch 6 blood oxygen monitor The Apple Watch 6 is quite nearly the best Apple has to offer in the wearable space, and if you’re worried about either your heart health or respiratory system, those extra features will bring you a welcome degree of reassurance. The Series 6 also features Apple's signature digital crown on the top right side.
