Pros

  • GPS and cellular connectivity allow for more independence from iPhone
  • ECG and blood oxygen monitoring provide additional health insights
  • Bright and always-on Retina display with customizable watch faces
  • Water-resistant up to 50 meters for swimming and other water activities
  • Support for Apple Pay and third-party apps
  • Fast and responsive performance with the S6 chip
  • Interchangeable bands for customization

Cons

  • Battery life could be longer, especially with heavy use of cellular and GPS
  • Cellular connectivity requires a separate data plan from your carrier, adding to the cost
  • Expensive compared to other smartwatches on the market
  • Some features, like blood oxygen monitoring, may not be useful for everyone
  • Limited compatibility with Android devices

The Apple Watch Series 6 was announced on September 15, 2020, during an Apple Special Event and began shipping on September 18. Its principal improvement over its predecessor is the inclusion of a sensor to monitor blood oxygen saturation.

Additional features include a new S6 processor that is up to 20% faster than the S4 and S5, a 2.5× brighter always-on display, and an always-on altimeter. The S6 incorporates an updated, third-generation optical heart rate sensor and also enhanced telecommunication technology, including support for ultra-wideband (UWB) via Apple’s U1 chip, and the ability to connect to 5 GHz Wi-Fi networks.

The Series 6 watch was updated with faster-charging hardware such that it completes charging in ~1.5 hours. Force Touch hardware was removed, consistent with the removal of all Force Touch functionality from watchOS 7.

The Series 6 watch added Product Red and Navy Blue case color options.

Resolution 394 x 324 pixels
Pixel Density Pixel Density (PPI) is refers to the concentration of pixels on a particular display, measured in pixels per inch (ppi). Pixel density is calculated by dividing the diagonal pixel resolution of a display by its diagonal size, higher pixel density better display quality. 326 PPI density
Display Protection Display Protection => Gorilla Glass is a special alkali-aluminosilicate glass shield with exceptional damage resistance that helps protect mobile displays from scratches, drops, and bumps of everyday use, It is always better to go for a smartphone with Gorilla Glass for that added protection and peace of mind. Glass front (Sapphire crystal), ceramic/sapphire crystal back, stainless steel frame
Features Always-on display

Network

SIM SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) is a small card that contains mobile network subscriber's account information. This allows the phone using the card to attach to a mobile network. The SIM card is most commonly associated with GSM and UMTS mobile networks. Moving a SIM card from one phone to another allows a subscriber to switch mobile phones without having to contact their mobile network carrier. SIM cards can also be used by a phone to store limited amounts of data, such as phone numbers and text messages. eSIM

Media

Loudspeaker Yes
3.5mm Audio jack No

Software

Operating System OS => Every computer system run on a base software called Operating System (OS). Operating System controls all basic operations of the computer (such as smartphone, PDAs, tablet computers and other handheld devices). The Operating System allows the user to install and run third party applications (apps), apps are used to add new functionality to the device. watchOS 7.0, up to 8.7, planned upgrade to watchOS 9.0
User Interface UI or user interface of a device is the look and feel of the on-screen menu system. How it works, its color scheme, how it responds to button presses, all of these things are part of the user interface. watchOS

Hardware

Chipset Chipset is a group of integrated circuits designed to perform one or a more dedicated functions, often with real time computing constraints, Popular smartphones are equipped with more advanced embedded chipsets that can do many different tasks depending on their programming. T8006 "Apple S5"
CPU CPU (Central Processing Unit) mostly known as processors, CPU processes instructions in order to carry out certain functions that make your device operate properly. Processors are often described as the brain of computers, smartphones and tablets, Smartphones and tablets rely on processors to carry out their every task, Processors are an incredibly important factor in selecting any type of computing device, including your smartphone. Dual-core
GPU GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) is a single-chip processor designed to rapidly manipulate and alter memory to accelerate the creation of images in a frame buffer intended for output to a display, This includes things such as lighting effects, object transformations, and 3D motion. PowerVR
