The watch series 6 consists of the s6 processor and the U1 chip with fast charging capability whereas the watch SE contains an S5 processor. To explain more detail, the Apple Watch Series 6 runs on the new dual-core processor, it is said to be the reason behind the fastness when compared to Watch Series 5.

The Apple Watch SE runs on the S5 chip and it proves to be claimed to be 2X faster than the series 3, but not as fast as series 6. While looking at the health factors, both the watches include optical rate sensors, accelerometers, altimeters, microphones, and speakers. The Series 6 watch comes with the U1 chip and wideband antennas to enable short-range wireless locations.

The watch series 6 has faster charging and it charges completely within 1.5 hours. The battery life of the watches is said to cover 18 hours.

Features

The new launches are incorporated with some amazing features like SpO2 monitoring, real-time elevation to the series 5 features. And the SE watch includes the fall detection, international emergency calling, noise app, and the elevation to Series 3 features in real-time. The APPLE Watch Series 6 also can take an ECG, along with the low and high heart rate notifications and irregular heart rhythm notifications.

The SpO2 monitoring is present in the series 6 watch which provides the blood oxygen monitoring. The real-time elevation tracking is also present and it is done by using the altimeter. The apple SE feature has all the features the same as watch series 3, like fall detection, real-time elevation, international emergency calling and also the noise app.

Software

The Apple watch series 6 uses the WatchOS7 software, which was present on the models from series 3 and later. The OS7 has a pretty number of amazing features embedded in it. The watch faces are conveniently customizable and it provides the sharing options.

The software also provides facilities like cycling turn-by-turn directions in Maps and some other miscellaneous features like sleep tracking, silent alarms, hand washing tracking with 20-second count down timer, hearing protection features, the family set up and many such great features are out there.

Apple’s Fitness Plus

One of the most interesting features that come along with the Apple watch is its new Fitness plus which will help the watch users to interact with fitness workouts regardless of the place. To provide experience to all the users’ Apple watch provides this feature free for three months.

When it comes to fitness tracking Apple Watch 6 is giving a handful of options such as great activity tracking, good monitoring, and motivation to stay active, a wide range of monitored activities. It is one of the best and potential features that Apple has introduced.

Battery Life

As we have seen earlier, the apple watch easily lasts a full 24 hours and sometimes longer than that. The S6 internal chipset makes the activities more efficient. In the last year’s release, the always-on display made a huge impact on battery life and hence to overcome that issue. The new S6 chipset inside Apple’s watch series improved the power efficiency of the device.

But the thing is a person always keeps the watch connected to the phone or Wi-Fi all day and it still managed to run for 24 hours without the need of a charger.

Conclusion

Well, here we have seen about the new Apple Watch Series 6 and we all know that the Apple watch wearable always stands out when compared to others. But the thing is people always look for a cheaper option, but quality comes with money, and spending some money on a good product makes it more worthy. The incremental improvements such as battery life and the display are most welcomed. But it feels that there is much more that needs to be implemented in Apple’s wearable line.
