The blood oxygen saturation measurements require you to be still with your arm flat on a table for 15 seconds for reliable readings.

The watch can download songs from Apple Music to its 32GB of total space so you can listen to music offline but not so for Spotify. For runners who use Spotify – there is a problem. But you won’t be able to get messages or see where you are on Apple Maps, unless you have a 4G plan for your watch. So if you are out for a run without your phone, it tracks where you are and can give you the stats you need. Most of the watch’s functions, such as health and fitness tracking, also work completely offline. Once you are connected by one of those three, then everything works, including notifications from your phone.

There are a reasonable number of good third-party apps, too, including Google Maps, Strava and Spotify, but no dedicated WhatsApp app, so you can only reply to notifications not start new conversations from your wrist.Ĭonnecting the watch to the internet – and therefore using apps to their full capacity – is done either by the watch being within Bluetooth range of the iPhone, being on wifi or having a 4G eSIM in the device. The tight integration between the Apple Watch and phone is better than any other smartwatch with an iPhone. Notification handling, including calls, texts and replies to messages is good. It still can’t set multiple timers, though, which is annoying when cooking. Setting a timer using Siri is now practically instant, putting Samsung’s Bixby and Google’s Assistant on their smartwatches to shame. This includes message replies, when talking to Siri, and other bits.

The new software also added full, on-device voice dictation, so that your speech is converted to text faster, with greater privacy and without requiring an internet connection.

WatchOS 7 introduced seven new watch faces, plus the ability to share configurations of the built-in watch faces with other users, though I still can’t find any combination of watch face I truly love.

The Series 6 ships with the latest version of Apple’s WatchOS 7, which also runs on the Series 3, 4, 5 and Watch SE. The new typograph face is attractive but I can’t reliably tell the time with it.

The Series 6 charges from flat to 100% in as little as 83 minutes and hits 80% in only 56 minutes using a 2A USB power adapter, which is much faster than the Series 5. Sleep tracking overnight consumed between 10% and 12% of battery life, while a 25-minute outdoor run consumed about 4-5% of battery life.

With the always-on display active and sleep tracking on overnight, the Series 6 lasts more than 36 hours between charges, including with two manual ECG recordings, two manual blood oxygen recordings, lots and lots of notifications and a 25-minute run. It is considerably faster than the chip used in the Series 3, though, which is still on sale.īattery life is solid if not class leading. It is up to 20% faster on paper but doesn’t feel much snappier than the S5 chip in the Series 5 and the new Watch SE.

The Series 6 has Apple’s latest S6 chip, which is fast, fluid and beats even the best performance from rival smartwatch makers. The charging puck clips to the back of the watch via magnets. Sensors: gyro, HR sensor, ECG, blood oxygen, light, microphone, speaker, NFC, GPS/GNSS, compass, altimeterĬonnectivity: Bluetooth 5, wifi n, NFC, Ultra wideband, optional 4G requiring eSIM and compatible plan Weight: 30.5 to 39.7g or 36.5 to 47.1g depending on material Our test watch, the aforementioned graphite-coloured stainless steel, has a gorgeous, dark lustrous quality to it.Ĭomfortable to wear, it has a large range of strap options with new styles including the Solo Loop and Solo Braided Loop, which are sized bands without a buckle or clasp that stretch to pull on over your hand. It comes in some new colours, including a blue or red aluminium. It also has a faster chip and a screen that is 2.5x brighter when in the “always-on” ambient mode, which is particularly noticeable outdoors. The new watch is essentially the Series 5 with a new blood oxygen saturation sensor on the back – more on that later. The back of the Series 6 has a new configuration of sensors.
