NEW APPLE WATCH: mORE sENSORS, ANOTHER INCREMENTAL upGRADE
This is a hands-on review in progress, as we've only had a couple of hours with the new Apple Watch 6. We'll be updating this article with our latest findings as we continue to test the device, ahead of our incoming full review soon.
The Apple Watch 6 is something of a surprise upgrade – in the sense that, on the outside, it’s not that much of a change from the Apple Watch 5 (or even the Apple Watch 4).
The key upgrades, though, are within the watch itself, with the new S6 chipset inside allowing for a more powerful chipset, (theoretically) better battery life and a blood oxygen monitor to allow you to see how much of that vital O2 is pumping around your system.
There’s an altimeter to track your elevation (to the nearest foot, according to Apple) and the screen is now capable of firing up to two and a half times brighter when you’re out in strong sunlight, so you’ll never miss a notification on a hike.
It's also the poster-child for WatchOS 7, which brings in hand-washing tracking (although we couldn't get this to fire up once), sleep tracking and more watch faces, including the slightly-frightening capability to see your own Memoji face on your wrist, winking at you, should you so wish.
We’ve spent a couple of hours with the new Apple Watch 6 for this early hands-on review, to see whether the new upgrades offer any real and immediate benefits over the existing models.
Apple has also released the more affordable Apple Watch SE
