Apple Watch Series 6

Monitor even more of your health with the Apple Watch Series 6. Some Apple Watch Series 6 features track pulse oximetry to measure your blood’s oxygen levels (SpO2) in just 15 seconds, as well as showing you your VO2 Max (maximum oxygen consumption) score.

These indicators can provide early warnings to possible respiratory conditions. They are joined by an optical heart rate monitor and the ability to record your own ECG (electrocardiogram). The Series 6 can even detect and help you with healthy habits, such as hand-washing detection, which displays a 20-second animated countdown as you scrub.

Here’s a full, detailed list of the best Apple Watch Series 6 features.

Blood Oxygen

This new sensor and app has the ability to measure the amount of oxygen in your blood and how well your body absorbs it, which can be essential indicators of potential respiratory conditions. The pulse oximetry SpO2 readings can be made on demand, taking only 15 seconds, as well as in the background, even at night while you sleep.

ECG

Combining electrodes inside the digital crown and a back crystal, the Apple Watch can generate an ECG waveform in as little as 30 seconds. Simply touch the digital crown with your finger. This measurement can possibly help identify medical conditions, and you will be notified if the watch detects a low or high heart rate, as well as an irregular rhythm.

Sleep Monitoring

The Sleep app works with the Apple Watch to track sleep trends, providing you with data and metrics to allow you to get a better night’s rest.

Apple Fitness+

A free 3-month trial of Apple Fitness+ is included with the Apple Watch Series 6. Fitness+ gives you access to knowledgeable trainers for a more focused workout, and metrics can be shared between Apple devices, including an iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV.

Watch Faces

A wide range of watch faces are available for the Series 6 watch, including hobby-based faces that provide essential information for specific activities. You can also select from faces that express your personality, heritage, or style.

Family Setup

More Apple Watch Series 6 features include ‘Family Setup’. Allow members of your family to use an Apple Watch Series 6, even if they don’t own an iPhone. All you need is one iPhone to pair everyone’s watches. Once paired, the iPhone can manage the watches and everyone can stay in touch via phone, text, or walkie-talkie. Each watch can also play music, find apps, and utilize integrated fitness tracking.

Fall Detection

More Apple Watch Series 6 features include an accelerometer and gyroscope which can detect whether you’ve fallen. If a fall occurs, the Apple Watch delivers an on-screen prompt where you can swipe to have it call emergency services or dismiss it. After 60 seconds of unresponsiveness, the Series 6 will place the call automatically and send a message to your emergency contacts.

Emergency SOS

Emergency SOS allows you to quickly get help. It calls 911, notifies your emergency contacts, sends your current location, and displays your Medical ID badge on the screen for emergency personnel. These will ensure you stay safe at all times!

Activity Rings

Three activity rings on the Apple Watch Series 6 are designed to help you measure all of the ways you move throughout the day. As you move, each ring begins to close, giving you additional motivation to close your rings and increase mobility.
