What could get better than an always-on display, upgraded cardio monitoring, and new band styles? Read on to learn why the Series 6 is Apple’s best watch yet.
Consumers and industry workers alike have been waiting for a new line of Apple products to hit the market this fall. Today, Apple held an online launch for its new iPad Pro and Series 6 Watch.
The new models will be available as soon as this month. Read on to learn what’s new with the Series 6.
Apple Series 6 Watch: New Features
“In these times, it’s so inspiring how people have adapted. We feel a deep responsibility to keep innovating,” Apple CEO Tim Cook announced as he previewed the new Series 6 watch.
In the 21st century, watches are no longer just about telling time. Apple designed the Series 6 with a focus on health metrics, fitness app compatibility, on-wrist smart controls, and more.
The major updates include a pulse oximeter and app to measure blood oxygen levels, VO2 max cardio metric detection, and Apple Watch OS 7. Plus, it has dozens of new display features.
“The Apple Series 6 has a new health sensor that measures blood oxygen levels,” said Apple COO Jeff Williams. “It can take a measurement in just 15 seconds.”
In addition to the new health metric features, the Series 6 will also come with new face modes. It has a GMT face to show multiple time zones at once, a fitness face to show multiple metrics during exercise, and a typographic face with different font options.
The Series 6 also has a new family setup option so those without smartphones can still use an Apple watch. And it has a do-not-disturb “school time” mode for kids.
