The first Apple Watch ever already introduced users to a new form and functionality for monitoring their health. The new Apple Watch Series 6 offers even more insight into the overall wellness of its user through a blood oxygen feature. The innovative sensor and app can perform always-on monitoring of the blood oxygen level or give on-demand readings. In addition, this smartwatch also allows ECGs to be taken easily, regardless of location. Electrodes integrated into the Digital Crown and the back crystal work together with the ECG app to read the heart’s electrical signals within seconds. The Apple Watch Series 6 delivers many notable hardware improvements, including a faster S6 SiP (System in Package) chip and an advanced, next-generation always-on altimeter. The Always-On Retina display is now 2.5 times brighter outdoors when the user wrist is down. Users can choose from a colourful palette of new case finishes including blue, silver, space grey, gold aluminium and a red model. The Apple Watch Series 6 delivers significantly higher performance thanks to redesigned hardware in the same small form factor, using a dual-core processor based on the A13 Bionic chip, as well as the U1 chip and ultra-wideband antennas for short-range wireless connection.
