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

Product Information

And if you plan to use the Apple Watch to track your sleep, you'll likely need to modify your charging routine given its battery life.

Instead, they each come with just the Type C Magnetic charging cable and a new Apple Watch Sport Band. On the inside, the Series 6 features 32GB of storage and Apple's new dual-core S6 System in Package (SiP), which it says delivers up to 20 percent faster performance than the S5 chip in the Series 5 and Watch SE.The new watch is essentially the Series 5 with a new blood oxygen saturation sensor on the back – more on that later.

WatchOS 7 includes 7 new watch faces: GMT, which shows multiple time zones at once; Count Up, which lets you track elapsed time; Chronograph Pro, a stopwatch with a tachymeter speed-measuring tool; Typograph, which offers three custom type styles; Artist, which features a dynamic portrait created in collaboration with artist Geoff McFetridge; Memoji, featuring Apple's animated characters; and Stripes; which can be customized based on what you're wearing, your support for a cause, or your favorite sports team. It was delivered well within the timeframe suggested and I was happy that I received it before our weekend getaway which made a nice surprise for my wife! With Family Setup, everyone in the family, like your kids and older adults, can have an Apple Watch. It won’t beat a dedicated running or triathlon watch for battery life, utility, data or practicality but it isn’t so far off that more casual runners won’t be happy.

The Apple Watch Series 6 comes in two sizes, various different materials and models with the option of 4G that requires an eSIM and compatible phone plan add-on. Testing conducted by Apple in August 2023 using pre‑production Apple Watch Ultra 2 (GPS + Cellular) paired with an iPhone; all devices tested with pre‑release software. I have been with PCMag for more than 10 years, and in that time have written more than 6,000 articles and reviews for the site.

Battery life in Low Power Mode is based on the following use: 180 time checks, 180 notifications, 90 minutes of app use and a 60-minute workout with music playback from Apple Watch via Bluetooth, over the course of 36 hours; Apple Watch Series 9 (GPS) usage includes connection to iPhone via Bluetooth during the entire 36-hour test; Apple Watch Series 9 (GPS + Cellular) usage includes on-demand 4G LTE connection and 28 hours of connection to iPhone via Bluetooth over the course of 36 hours. The service also offers automatic location notifications, so you can, for instance, receive an alert when your child gets home from school.

Yes - the Apple Watch 6 is water resistant up to 50 metres (5ATM certified), which means it can withstand swimming (depth of 50M) for at least 10 minutes. That's a welcome addition for me personally, as I live in Florida and spend a lot of time at the beach. Putting this technology in a consumer wearable has never been more important given the global COVID-19 pandemic, as it indicates how well your circulatory and respiratory systems are delivering oxygenated blood to your body, and can help you gauge whether a hospital visit is necessary.
