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 S6 SiP (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
  • a U1 chip and UWB antennas for ultra-wideband communications (this will enable 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) 2.4GHz and 5GHz (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 "Eject Water" function which allows one to vibrate water out of the watch's openings after a shower or a swim. The ECG and Heart rate monitor features were also improved due to additional sensors and improved chipsets present in the series 6.

New Product Red and Navy Blue color options are available. The Apple Watch Series 6 is also available in Hermès, Nike+, and Edition models.
