The Apple Watch Series 6 doesn't have very many improvements over the Series 5, but there are some interesting differences that you don't see on the spec sheet.
For example, I have some very interesting findings in terms of the battery life and usability.
I also talk about the performance differences and other things like that.

What’s your opinion on S6 vs SE
Stainless steel or aluminum? Which do you recommend?
i realize Im quite off topic but do anybody know a good site to watch newly released tv shows online?
@Dax Taylor flixportal :D
@Maurice Apollo Thanks, I signed up and it seems like a nice service :D I really appreciate it!
only in the 21st century could raising your wrist be considered burdensome
Hahahahhaha
😂😂😂
I got my first Apple Watch and It is a Series 6. I love it! I expected to use some functions, but it really exceeded my expectations. I have been moving more and I feel really motivated to fill my rings. Great decission.
Have had a series 1 for about 5 years now. Thought it would have broken by now but it’s still chugging, just been wanting an upgrade.
Found a series 5 - 44mm cellular in pristine condition at a pawn shop for $200 while the series 6 (same conditions) is $575 at Apple.
This video helped me decide to go with the 5! Thank you!
Updated from a Series 4 and I ABSOLUTELY love my Series 6. Love both Solo Loop bands. I went 2 sizes down and they fit perfectly. Love the battery life. The AOD is actually pretty much always on the right level of brightness for me, so no complaints on that front. All in all, totally loving the Series 6 and having used 3 Apple Watches prior, I can confidently say this is my favorite Apple Watch by a long shot.
This video is really insightful lol. I have the exact same things to say about s6 vs s5 and you hit em all!
Finally this video is here
Been waiting for it whole week
I upgraded from a Series 4 and I love it! Before that I had the Series 0 that I used the heck out of it and went to the series 4 for my first upgrade which made the 0 like dinosaur comparatively but I’m totally loving the series 6 🎉
For many of the reasons that you mentioned in your video!
Keep up the great work & thank you!
As always the best review channel for Apple products as I know.
This man has THE best comparisons/reviews on CZcams and probably online in general 👌👌👌
I’m getting the new one on my birthday so excited.
I upgraded from a series 1 to a series 6. Massive difference!
I’m doing the same. Do you know whether or not 42mm bands fit on the 44mm?
kandacewithak They do!
Anything is an Update from 1.
John Wong Very true! The processors inside the series 1 struggled to run WatchOS 6.
Damn I thought I was stepping up from Series 3 to 6
Thanks for the great vid!
Looking forward to upgrading from my series 3 👌🏼
Yes 👍 another awesome 👏 video Thanks keep the great information coming 😀
Great video, I’m going to pick up the series 5 on the cheap.
Apple Watch SE has the new vibration motor? Always great contents! 🇮🇹
I just got my SE. I'm loving it!
SE and series 5 I think I’ll stay here til the 6 goes on sale under $299 also I don’t see the need to upgrade now just to check my oxygen levels
Nice Beauty shots. Got the red and blue. Probably will return blue :)
Was this video recorded with the new Sony camera? it looked sharp
Thanks the always on information was really useful
It's important that if you use the apple sizing guide, that by default chrome prints at lower than 100%, which is the most common issue. Make sure it's at 100% to get a accurate size..
thanks! a lovely review
Great video. I’m also going to bed with it around 40% I love my series 6, I got the graphite stainless steel n it looks awesome. I was upgrading from the series 0 n it’s really good upgrade. Very happy with my purchase. This thing charges fast aswell
Love your finger ring 💍 lol. From where you bought that.
I gotta say I do see a difference between this and my old s5. I am pleased I upgraded
I went from a series 4 aluminum to a series 6 stainless steel and have been loving the upgrade. I’ve also really enjoyed the always on display. I probably would not have upgraded if I was coming from a series 5.
This is what I needed to know! I love my Nike series 4 but honestly the faster chip and the blue color way/always on display etc seems worth it to me
My plan is to do this as well, but it will be a Christmas gift from hubby! Are you noticing a huge difference going from the aluminum to SS???
@@sylviat8461 I have no regrets with the upgrade. I love that the stainless steel looks more like jewelry and the screen doesn’t not seem to scratch as easily as the aluminum version. I’m not seeing any scratches so far. I always had to keep a screen protector on my aluminum version because it scratched so easily.
I upgraded to the series 6 less than a week ago and I love it! I am someone who has asthma and the blood oxygen sensor is really helping me out!
does iwatch 6 has accurate oxygen sensor? i got asthma too... and i was thnking of getting one.
Love from Nigeria 🇳🇬
For clarification, are you saying the notification vibrations like the prominent vibration is stronger?
I got the series 6. Batt life about 1.5 - 2 days depending on use. Also the AOD is fine to me once it dims I can still see it clearly
Don’t forget you’ll see a stainless steel model as more reflective and less bright due to the sapphire compared to the ion x glass lcd on the aluminum.
Hey man i still have the Apple Watch series 3 but i was thinking of updating my Apple Watch too the new Apple Watch series 6 in the new Blue Color
i think for the money and soo many similar things im getting the 5!
Got my series 6 today great upgrade from series 0 👍 best decision so far
Really happy with the series 6 after giving up my Garmin Fenix 5 (missed the notifications and I like being able to quickly reply if I'm at work and cant quickly get to my mobile) the battery life has been great and I simply top it up on a morning before heading off to work. Hope Apple add more info to the Sleep tracking function but I'm happy even if they don't. Stay safe everyone, best wishes P.
I noticed that my series 3 is a little sensitive and lights up at night when I’m driving
I upgraded from the series 5 titanium to the series 6 titanium
- Pros - Battery life, Much faster charging, oxygen sensor - Titanium is much lighter and tougher with the mineral glass screen (this model does come with the power brick - I don’t use it)
- FYI my size on the paper guide was an exact 8 and the black solo loop band (Non Braided - it would have been 45 days to get the braided) is a great fit you almost forget you are wearing it. I thought it would feel sweaty - I normally was using the velcro band.
- Cons cost $850 a year later, but I gave my 5 to my wife.
I have the series 4 stainless. I end my day with 50% battery every night. My battery health is 94% after 2 years so maybe I got lucky with a better than average battery. I payed $749.00 so will wait for a more significant upgrade. The series 6 does look great just not good enough to pull the trigger! Great video on an important topic!
Same. I have the aluminum series 4 and a 92% battery health after 2 years. I usually end the day with more than 50% battery and can easily get through 2 days with my usage. The only thing I wish is that I had the Nike edition. Other than that, I’ll hold off until the 7.
The series 4 is great. That screen change made the biggest difference.
Same here series 4 nike space grey edition. It does not make sense to upgrade unless there is a body change. You can not tell the difference and we are missing 2-3 features that don't matter really.
Agreed, like all people commenting here, I have the series 4 and can easily get 2 days... I guess it would be worth an upgrade to the 6 if it reached 3-4 days with AOD off. I don´t really care much for it because raise to wake just works so well.
Yeah the Series 4 is still really great. I got the series 4 two years ago as well and it still has 95% battery health
Great video. Does anybody know if the new Series 6 can by triggered NFC tags in Shortcuts (like the iPhone 11) ??
My series 4 can't :/
I went from the series 3 to the series 6 massive upgrade for me
I'm considering going to Apple from the Samsung Galaxy Note 8. Having a wearable is important to me so if I do go with iPhone, the Apple watch is a must have for me. Should I spring for the series 6 as my first Apple watch or save a little bit of money and go with the 5?
Series SE Taptic Engine is the same as series 6?
Basically it depends on your situation, opinion, money (including quality), financial situation, if you have a watch, and etc. By the time the series 6 is on sale, you’ll never know when the series 7 is out.
My opinion: wait until you find your suitable watch and don’t buy tech too early. You never know if the best watch you want could POSSIBLY be what you need. The answer is just like answering an exam question by observing, comparing and making the best choice (or a perfect answer like how it would be in an exam).
I will be upgrading to the Apple Watch Series 6 for a reason that you didn’t mention. If you use the Apple Watch for cell phone calls, as I do, the increased battery life will help a lot !
All I have to say to those people who don’t think they need cell phone service on their wrist is “try it, you will wonder how you ever did without it”.
I held off on the S5 because of all the reports of underwhelming battery. Always On screen is a game changer for a lifelong watch wearer like me but didn’t want to give up the great battery life from my S3.
If you already have AW5, would you highly recommend upgrading to 6 or save the money and wait for the 7? What would you do?
Thank you very much
We don’t have this in Malaysia yet and this will be my first Apple Watch so I’m super excited
Hurricane XD I’ve bought the Watch Series 5 last week with a decent discount (RM 300). Very happy to have extra features as I wanted to buy the SE...
Man, I've been waiting for it too as my first Apple Watch. Any news when it's going to release?
Zureyiezan Bin Zuraimi
Ask Machines or Mac City or Epicentre. In case they have one.
It’s what I’ve done.
Otherwise, I don’t know when the Watch Series 6 and SE will be released in Malaysia.
Last option. Amazon
I have series 4 not upgrading until watchOS support stops
Hi, which one should I go for series 4, 5 or 6? I’m still using series 1. I don’t need it to be super fancy.
Agreed with the red band color not matching. If only they made the band a richer darker red. Still love and so happy I decided to go with product red 😍
Tip, turn off raise to wake and keep AOD on. Saves battery for me and doesn’t turn super bright when I raise my wrist 👍🏾
Then you’ll always be looking at a dim screen. No thanks
@@itskelvinn ok.
I do not know, Series 6 is my first Apple Watch and the always on display seems almost too bright for me and I have the lowest brightness settings. I love the always on display. Battery life is much better than I have expected.
Always on altimeter is something nice to have when you are hiking, or training for that elevation gain, but, I do not think it is in any way essential.
The feature I am most disappointed with is the handwashing timer, it does not work at all for me, it turns on for other activities, like putting items I bought into a plastic bag, or doing dishes (I can understand the latter one). But it does not trigger for handwashing every time and even when it does, it ignores certain movements and the timer just freezes.
Thanks 😊
I just ordered a series 6. Battery life might be good for me because I prob won’t use it to do much other than the basic notifications for apps that I use. Will look and turn off any settings that I don’t need turned on. One guy review that he got 5 days and something hours for not really using it but for the basic things. Then he used it for many things and got like a day or something like that. I think I’ll be happy with it.
My series 5 lasts me for around 36-37 hours which is around 1and a half day n really happy with it!
Including workouts or just smartphone mode?planning to buy s5
@@FreshVibez77 I do both. Around 2-3 hours of squash and rest of the day just connected to the phone . A little bit of replying to messages from the watch here n there
@@yourdoom8773 yeah..it seems good enough for me..for my usage of workouts routine i guess i will pickup up s5 then..thanks for the explanation..much appreciated
I went from a series 3 gps version to a series 6 Lte /WiFi one
how long battery last with display always on with series 6?
I jumped from Series 1 38mm to Series 6 44m, and 1.) I've never had Blood Oxygen fail, and I'm pretty impressed with frequency it happens in background. I was expecting only a couple times a day. 2.) I'm actually unhappy with how unresponsive it is to wrist movements compares to Series 1. If I'm in bed it is an exercise to get it on without tapping. When not, it is what i should be. But it is a notch below in responsiveness for me.
I got a series 6. It’s my first Apple Watch. I love it.
I’m thinking of switching from the 3 to the 5 or 6. I’m not sure which one I should go for.
went from series 2 to 5. It was ✨amazing✨
What do you think are the best (your favourite) improvements?
I jumped from series 1 to the 6, what pushed me to the series 6 is the product red case, is looks too beautiful not to have it xP
Nice b roll 😂
Where can I get that face on the gold watch ?
Did you compare it with a new Series 5 (with a fresh battery) or a used one?
What MM is the gold one on your wrist?
Apple did say that 2.5 Times brighter outdoors... note outdoors 😶
Wish it were indoors too lol
Ordered that shirt. Looks amazing. Can't wait to get it.
Thank you for supporting us!
Sticking with my S5 SS!
Maybe next year they comes up with something more interesting! :)
I love the series 6 it’s the best watch Apple has made thus far if your a tech geek you’ll get it
I bought my first Apple Watch a few weeks ago. I got the red one. It was stunning. I had complete price guilt as
I was mainly using it for the fitness tracking so I returned it. I just picked up
a series 5 on eBay for half the cost of the 6. Whenever the series 7 come out - if it’s a dramatic difference from the 6 i can upgrade at that point. 🤷🏼♀️
did you upgrade
series 5 squad💪🏻
You should compare it to the galaxy watches
I am seriously impressed this guy ends the day with 10% battery. What do you do on your watch to drain it that much? Are you streaming video to that tiny screen or what? With my Series 5 watch I end the day on about 45% with always on display on. It's crazy to me you can drain it that much!
I was thinking of upgrading from my series 5 but it’s not worth it. So It’s a no for me this year 😂
I am picking up stainless steel s 5 today
Cool review, still think this generation is a tiny iteration, Apple needs to step up the game and come up with something that does provide a reasonable battery life, like 4-5 days on a charge at least. Have you tested what battery life is on the series 6 with AOD off?
bigger jump than 4-5 was. battery is so much better on 6. like comparable to 4 with AOD enabled. it’s that good.
not to mention cpu, 5ghz wifi
I change my series 3 to 6 today🥳
Do you recommend spending the money to upgrade?
Ordered a red 6 44mm today. Replacing the 4 which has been fine. Nixed on upgrading my XS phone. It’s paid for and I’m gonna enjoy the lower bill for a while. “It’s faster! It’s faster!” They tell me. I’ve discovered that speed depends on your coverage area more than anything.
Its same size of band?
Slightly of subject but has anyone had issues on Apple Watch 3 mine keeps rebooting since the latest update 7.1 ?
Thinking of upgrading from the Series 3 to either the Series 6 or the SE, but I’m not sure which one is the better option. I don’t really need the ECG or blood oxygen measuring, but they would be nice to have. Any recommendations?
Depending on if those measurements are important. Having health measurements at your disposal is what I’d prefer.
The biggest difference for me is the battery life. I charge my S5 before I sleep (20%) around 10PM but with S6 I can still use it until 7AM with 30% battery
The 2.5x brighter AOD's difference can be seen when in extreme sun. Pls, test them in sunny conditions. It does not make sense testing indoors
Vaibhav Jain completely agreed
His videos never make sense
He did test then outside. He said essentially what you just said in the video. That you can only tell in extreme sunlight.
Someone didn't watch the video lmao
I upgraded from S3 to a used stainless steel S5 that I got for $360. Easy decision over the S6. If I need a blood oxygen reading Ill buy a $25 finger sensor on Amazon and it will be more accurate anyway
Does he have the 40mm or 44mm one?
Apple should offer the always on display option and let user to choose the brightness at the same time
Do 2021 iPad pro
Do you have the oximetry app on your IOS 14.2 beta 1. It appears oximetry does not work on the better version of IOS 14. Please if anyone has this issue let me know. My iPhone runs IOS 14.2 beta 1 and unfortunately my Apple Watch series 6 cannot use the oximeter because according to apple support the oximetry may not work with the beta version.
I bought my Apple Watch from Best Buy can I return my sport band to Apple store to exchange to a braided band with $50 discount？
I came from the S4 to the S6. First thing I did was turn off the always on display. Fell in love with sleep mode (I’ve been using theater mode for years in bed). Just those 2 things - 48 hours between charges (when I don’t exercise - not tough at the moment).
Why turn off the always on
@@stevemcphail1009 battery life. Given I’ve been wearing my watch to bed to monitor my sleep since the original (shameless plug for AutoSleep), it’s nice to not have to worry about ensuring I have sufficient charge each night. Then again, the (limited functionality) built-in sleep capability in the latest WatchOS let’s me know if I need to charge before bed...
Compare SE and Series 5 on the basis of battery life, haptic .... little confused..
would you go with the Series 5 Stainless Steel or Series 6 Alumimium? They similar prices.
I bought the s5 ss lol
Make a gaming review of ipad 8th gen pubg cod and manny more and please not mas graphics in pubg just smooth extreme or 90fps pls
Everyone expects a huge upgrade every year but we are at a point now where upgrades are always going to be small for me the s6 is 100% an upgrade from the s5
Just ordered my Series 6 today, upgrading from a Series 2. Will try and update this comment after it arrives!
I’m waiting on mine too. I’m upgrading from a series 3
Love from India 🇮🇳
Just ordered refurbished Apple watch 6 - 44mm, navy blue (my favorite color) for just 369$ only 30$ more than refurbished series 5, I’m upgrading from series 0 so I’m sure, the update is well worth
