The Apple Watch Series 6 is the seventh-generation model of the Apple Watch. It was announced on September 15, 2020 during an Apple Special Event alongside the Apple Watch SE, and began shipping to the public on September 18. Its principal improvement over its predecessor is the inclusion of a sensor to monitor blood oxygen saturation.
Overview
The Apple Watch Series 6 features a blood oxygen monitoring sensor which can detect changes in blood oxygen levels.[3]
Additional new features[4][5][6] include:
- an Apple S6 processor (based on a dual-core processor derived from the A13 Bionic chip in the iPhone 11) that runs up to 20% faster than the S5 SiP in the Apple Watch Series 5
- an Apple U1 chip and UWB antennas for ultra-wideband communications (this enables multiple next-generation applications, for example high-security digital car keys, or location of tracking devices that is more precise than what is possible using Bluetooth technology)
- a 2.5x brighter always-on display
- an always-on altimeter
- faster charging that completes in under 1.5 hours
- improved battery life for tracking certain workout types such as indoor and outdoor running
- support for 802.11b/g/n (Wi-Fi) 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz (prior versions of the Apple Watch, as well as the Apple Watch SE, can only connect to 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi networks)[7][8][9][1]
Select features were also further improved, including the ECG and Heart rate monitor features, due to additional sensors and improved chipsets present in the series 6.[10]
New Product Red and Navy Blue color options are available. The Apple Watch Series 6 is also available in Hermès, Nike+, and Edition models.
Force touch has been removed from the Apple Watch series 6.
