Oh no way, Fort Collins represent!! Loved the detailed review. Will be treating myself to an upgrade to the Series 6 from my OLD series 1. This review on the fitness tracking was the best I’ve seen yet so thank you!
Glad it helped! Thanks and FTC FTW!
Great in depth review, exactly what I have been waiting for. Perfect timing for black Friday sales. This will be my first apple watch and looking forward to it. Keep up the great work.
Thanks so much! Enjoy your watch!
As always, amazing video! We so appreciate all your hard work. Thank you for all you do!

Just clicked on this review after ordering the 6 abs it’s the best review I’ve ever seen. It’s quick, amazing footage and pictures. Editing is really clean and professional. The dude is cool it’s like your cool, smart mate telling you what you need to know. Excellent work. 👍🏽 subbed

Thanks a bunch!!
Hey Des - really appreciate the text on screen in the review. Makes digesting the video a lot easier!
Sure thing! I think I have a pretty good formula going for future videos!
These are some pretty cool insights. Your other video on 6 vs SE was pretty great too. Would love to see you review other tech products too (like phones)
Thanks! I wish I had time for reviews outside of sports tech but I do dabble in some filmmaking videos on my other channel: czcams.com/channels/tgjCeBQBwQk64N8FLYS8JQ.html Thanks!!
Such a professional and thorough review! I have a 3 and I love it. I think I’ll wait for the 7. Your testing with the tight turns was so detailed!!!
Thanks so much!
Thanks so much for this one again Des, as always bringing the best Smart Watch reviews out there!
No problem. 👍 Thanks!!
As usual, great review! I bought my first smartwatch ever this weekend, and it's a series 6, I'm loving it.
Nice! Glad you’re enjoying it!
Great review!
Covered all things that I was looking for.
Glad to have subcribed
Glad it helped! Thanks so much!

Sure thing! Thanks!!
EXCELLENT!! Simply the best reviews on this device 👍🏾👍🏾
Thanks so much!!
This was so great! Great review and all the data I was looking for
Glad it helped! Thanks!!
awesome video. level of detail you put into measuring it's performance was unreal
Thanks so much!
Great review, and really appreciate the video "bookmarks" to be able to skip to the sections I'm looking for. Thanks for the great review!
Sure thing! Thanks!!
@@DesFit do you know if it’s possible to get turn-by-turn directions during a workout (e.g. an outdoor run)? I’m switching over from my fenix 6 pro and that’s the main feature I can’t figure out on the Apple Watch Series 6 (I’m guessing it’s not possible)
This is the first video by you that I’ve seen. Great stuff. Subscribed.
Thanks!!
Thanks so much for this one again Des!
Sure thing, Daniel!
Please keep making reviews!!!! Great job
Definitely! Thanks a bunch!
Sir, I admire your professional approach. Best regards from Poland!
Thanks so much! Greetings from Colorado!
Very thorough review. Thanks so much for the info!
Sure thing!
Thanks Des been waiting for this one, great content as always!
Thanks Tom!!
amazing review, just picked one up today
Nice! Enjoy your watch 👍
This is a really good Review. Thanks a Lot. Greetings From Chile.
Thanks so much!
Always enjoy your in-depth reviews. I Just picked up the Apple Watch 6 (Fitbit user for last 4 years) and getting used to the new interface. Thanks for the content - keep them coming.
Awesome! Thanks so much!
@@DesFit did you have any trouble with the Apple Watch 6 recording sleep data? In my case, the watch is not recording any data for past 2 nights. Will the watch automatically track sleep even if I don’t turn on the “sleep mode”? Like in Fitbit, when you sleep, it automatically tracks the data. Of course, my Apple Watch battery was in the 80-90% range. Any thoughts will be appreciated.
Great video thanks
Thanks!
Thank you! So so detailed really helpful!
Glad it helped! Thanks so much!
Outstanding review! Subscribed.
Thanks!!
best review!! thank you :) helping me pick out my birthday present hahah
Nice! Thanks!
Great review, I was waiting for your review in order to make my final decision to upgrade from AW4. Couldn't wait so I got the AW6 a week ago, really enjoy it. And as you say, it's a worthy upgrade coming from the 4. Keep up the good reviews, thanks!
Glad you’re enjoying it! Thanks!!
Excellent detailed review - thank you
Sure thing
Wow that was an impressive review! I really appreciate your video!
Thanks so much!
This is it!!! Always waiting for new video
Thanks!!
Thanks for the detailed review!
Sure thing!
I have hanging for your review of this watch!
Thanks for your patience!
Great in depth review! Really appreciate the attention to detail. Liked and subbed. From what I'm seeing the blood oxygen sensor can work better if you remove the watch and use it on your finger tip, much like a normal pulse ox. Possibly useful to have a pulse ox on us at all times during this covid pandemic/flu season for better outpatient monitoring.
great video!!
Thanks!
Much awaited video 👌🏻
Appreciate the patience! Thanks!
Awesome video, so much detail!!!!
Thanks!
I did it! I haven’t used it yet but I am soooo impressed with Apple’s packaging. So detailed!!
Thank you for the detailed video especially the gbs part.
Sure thing!
Great review
Thanks!
Love the per hour thing and scenario presentation. Easy to understand for me esp when paused. Hope the background doesnt interfere with words esp that light in the back vs plain background color when presenting data with voice over. Sometimes the white letters have white background so I cant see easily. New subscriber here. Love the attention to details.
Thanks so much!!
Excellent work!
Thanks!
Great information. Thanks a lot!
Sure thing!
Great review.
Thank you
Sure thing. Thanks!
Great content. Subbed. Looking forward to the SE review
Thanks! Coming up soon!
Was waiting on this 👍🏾
💪
Hi, this is gonna be a really useful review as I’m hoping for an Apple Watch for Christmas!
Nice! Hope you enjoy it!
looking forward to your AW SE in depth review
You’re in luck! It’s literally uploading right now!
Once again another excellent review with lots of detail and specially the forth coming SE review (looking forward to) as a reference point.
Thanks!! Yup, coming up soon!
Amazing video👍🏾
Thanks Tyler!
Great review!
Thanks!
My favorite smart watch reviewer! I had watched almost all videos and decided to buy aw4 for heart rate accuracy. Now seems like it is worth to upgrade, many thanks
Sure thing! Thanks!!
Kudos! This is a great review of the Apple 6 watch. The best one that I have seen. I have immediately subscribed to your channel and I am looking forward to view other videos! 👍🇨🇦
Thanks!!
I love this video! I just ordered the Series 6 and love the look of
this watch and don't really want to cover it up in a protective case
for this reason. I'm just curious as to your recommendations regarding
protecting this with a screen protector or not.
Amazing presentation...
Thanks!
Thanks for this great review!
Thoughts on switching from a Garmin fenix 5X to an Apple Watch Series 6. My Garmin has been acting up (battery life, charging, saving runs consistently) so I am now looking at options for a replacement. I do mostly outdoor running (street and trail) and maybe some indoor biking if I get a Peloton bike in 2021. I am heavy in the Apple eco-system, so that is the reason I am considering an Apple Watch.
Great video!
Thanks!!
great review as always des :)
Thanks!!
Great, thx.
Sure thing
Quick question...is there a way to track steps during an activity such as walk or run, and not just all day steps?
Sorry, new to the Apple Watch, but activity steps is very important to me. Also have a 945. Trying to decide which one to keep.
Thanks again for all of your help, and all the great videos!
Thank you so much! I’m a sport nerd and I’ve been wanting to find a nerdy sports on Apple Watch series 6 for a while. I’m glad CZcams algorithm send your video to me! Just bought a product Red series 6 for $249! can’t wait to try it on and compare with my 6 years old Suunto Ambient 3 sport!
That’s a smoking deal you got! Enjoy and thanks!
@@DesFit. Thanks for all your good reviews. I have tried it for two days. it would be a good watch for my wife since she doesn't care about activity numbers and just want a pretty watch. but I decide to get the Fenix 5 Plus after watching all your reviews. Amazon is selling them at 380 which is a super good deal. can't wait to try on the Fenix 5 Plus and get moving! Hopefully I can move to Denver some time!
Regarding heart rate, using the supplied Outdoor Walk app I’ve found the reported heart rate can be off as much as 40 bpm compared to the Heart Rate app or the third part Cardio app. If in the middle of the walk I use the Heart Rate app to check, the Outdoor Walk app immediately switched its reported bpm to match. The Outdoor Walk app also just blanks out at times and does not report bpm at all.
thank you for this video I will be purchasing an Apple Watch!
Nice! Enjoy your watch.
Do you think the apple watch series 6 is a better running watch than the Garmin 245 music??
Help me, in term of accuracy heart rate and features, which one best for swimming? Garmin venue / sq or iwatch se
I am considering pairing my new iPhone SE 2020 with an Apple Watch Series 6 or an Apple Watch SE 2020. I'm just wondering if the Walking fitness app has a similar live steps-per-minute (SPM) cadence (pace) readout that my old Amazfit Pace fitness watch have. I use this feature to monitor my brisk walking pace if it matches with the beats-per-minute (BPM) music I listen to on my on-ear Bluetooth music player. I’ve been to several CZcams videos on Apple watch fitness app and I have not determined if it has this live SPM readout. All, however, have average cadence shown in strides in the fitness app summary after end of workout.
Looking forward to the SE review
👍
Awesome🔥🔥👌🏽
🙌🙌
What is the best running app for the Apple Watch in your opinion besides Strava
Great 👍 video MAN ⚡️⚡️
Thanks!!
I subscribed because of this video👍
Thanks!
I bought my Series 5 because of your Series 5 video...and I've been waiting for this video to see if upgrading to the 6 would be worth it.
👍
Can you make a video to compare fitness apps on watch 6. Difference between Polar Beat v Strava apps. Also using chest strap vs wrist sensor for the apps and how to pair it with your watch and which is most accurate.
I returned my series 6, cause I have tattoos on my wrists, and they interfere with wrist detection. My workouts pause, no stand time or notifications. I went back to my series 5. The LED setup on the 6, is totally different than on the 5.
Great vid!
Thanks!!
I really liked your review - one of the best I’ve seen. I’ve never bought an Apple Watch and thinking of making this my first. I was also considering the polar vantage v2. Do you have any perspective on the two from a fitness to fitness watch comparison?
I am looking at purchasing an Apple Watch. One key feature for me is having a watch that provides real-time pace alerts to keep me on track for my goal pace. I understand series 5 (watch OS5) has this, has this feature been kept on the further upgrades? I can not find anything online, all the information I find is it is only available on watch OS5. Also, is this feature constantly reading your pace and if out will notify you in real time as opposed to every mile/km?
Thanks in advance
Great job as always, Des. Looks like it's time for me to get an iphone/AW6!
You’ve held out for a loooong time, John! 😁 Thank you!
@@DesFit LOL!! I was always hoping Wear OS would come through, but it never did. It would be great if Apple could update their post workout fitness metrics, but maybe they will do that in a future software update.
They seem to have added more metrics over time, but it’s a slow go with them for some reason, like adding cadence (and making a big deal out of it) a few years back which is what other manufacturers had for years. I know they like to simplify things but people want more.
@@DesFit Yes. I don’t think their standard workout analysis even show HR zones, which should be standard really.
Nice! Beat DC Rainmaker on the full review. I've been waiting for one of you guys to drop your verdict.
We're actually great friends and we don't consider each other competition 😁 But thanks for tuning in!
Question, do you need to have a blue tooth sensor on the bike in order for Apple Watch to track speed, distance, etc.
Nice review! One question: Would apple watch work with polar or garmin apps? I would rather stock my data with either one of these.
I'm really considering getting the series6. My old setup has been Suunto (for 15 years) for everything. Now I got Garmin edge 1030 for cycling, and I'm using polar HR sensor with it on the road, and polar flow app for other sports.
Did you use Strava on your watch to test the GPS?
I have a question. How to compare GPS tracking multiple devices on the same screen? Is there an app or a website for that? And how to export GPS data from apple watch? I'm using aw s5, and it doesn't track my route; it just shows my starting point on the map. What is the solution for that?
Could you comment on how to link these product with Garmin Connect and/or Strava?
I deliver for work and I get in and out of my truck about 15 times a shift. Will this track a lot of my drive before it recognizes that’s I’m driving?
the SE review will be as detailed as this can't wait!
It definitely will be! Thanks!
What would you recommend, I want to buy some good android smart watch which I can pair with chest belt. Is there something on the market?
Such a great review! Your reviews helped me decide between an Apple Watch and Garmin Venu. (AW won, but only because I could start leaving my phone at home now.)
With so many devices on each and every workout you do, how on earth do you track your own personal fitness in the flood of data? Do you have one set of devices and apps that are your fitness trackers, and everything else is just kept separate so it doesn't look like you worked out for 6x as long as you actually did that day? Which devices and apps are your primary for tracking personal fitness?
Do you have a review on the Pool swim accuracy? My AW6 Is awfully off during pool swims. So frustrating.
Hi there I am looking for a series 7 as replacement for my 945 due to changed ambition and requirements. But do want to know if I could receive an emergency call when doing laps in the pool on the LTE version. Assuming I have a subscription.
I loved this review, but I wish you would have went into actual energy expenditure accuracy
Nice video. Subscription for that!
Thanks!
Which would you give preference: Series 6 or Fenix 6?
I have a question for you. I have a Polar watch and I want to change it maybe for an Apple. I like to see my heartbeat in % instead of BPM. Is is possible to change the heartbeat in % with the Apple Watch ? Thank you very much, very interesting video.
