Apple Watch Series 6 (GPS) 40mm Space Gray Aluminum Case with Black Sport Band - Space Gray

I am by no means an Apple Fanatic who owns only Apple Products and thinks Apple can do no wrong. I enjoy the innovation and creative choices other brands make with their products! But there is no denying that what Apple is doing with their watch line just works, and works really well. The Series 6 is their latest attempt to win every every wrist they can and its a really good attempt at doing so! PROS: - Unboxing and Set-Up is really a breeze! Of course you need an iPhone to do so, but you can set up almost everything from your phone and its pretty quick. Very easy overall set up that I don't think anyone will have issues with. - The Watch itself is just beautiful. I purchased the silver model because I personally like the silver accent with the black watch face. Although you can tell its still an Apple Watch, I think Apple has done a good job making them look elegant. - The screen really is gorgeous. It's bright, has crisp definition, and makes use of the whole screen. The always on display feature really is an easy way too always see your information without having to the full power of the display. - I won't get into this too much, but the Series 6 continues to do well what previous Apple Watches do. It has smart phone notifications, you can take calls/texts from it, has fall detection, 911 alerts, you can swim/dive with it on, and just so much more. - The Series 6 comes with Blood Oxygen and ECG monitoring, and they both really work well! With Blood Oxygen, you need to have your opposite hand's finger on the crown of the watch for 30 seconds but I have had no issue getting a reading every time! Although some people may not care about Blood Oxygen and ECG, I really think that the more a Watch can monitor for you, the better your chances are to stay healthy and catch any health issues you may have. - The Series 6 also comes with another new feature which is sleep tracking! So far, I think its really beneficial to get those sleeping statistics. I have no issue wearing the Apple Watch all night as I think its comfortable and if I wake up I can easily check the time. - Of course, the Series 6 is excellent at tracking your fitness throughout the day. Tracking the steps you take all day, making sure you stand up and move frequently, and pushing you to accomplish your Workout goals everyday. Also at the time of this review, Apple's new Fitness+ service is not out yet but I am very much looking forward to this when it comes! I think it was a brilliant idea. - Lastly, I think an important part of a fitness/health tracking watch is having a great phone app to view all the information. And Apple's Fitness and Health apps are truly well done. It really is a beneficial way to keep track of everything you do. CONS: - Just like most Apple Products, my biggest issue with the Series 6 is it's inability to play well with others. You can only use it with an iPhone and although I understand not wanting to use it with an Android, I wish you could use it with an iPad. I just think it would be beneficial to see all your fitness and health stats on a larger iPad screen. - Just like previous Apple Watches, the Series 6 still can only charge using an Apple Watch charger. You can not use a Qi wireless charger like you can with iPhones and Android phones these days. It would be a lot more functional if it could be universally charged on any wireless charger. - The Series 6 allows you to use Apple Music without having your phone with you, but I wish they allowed the same ability with other music services like Spotify. - Apple's Fitness App & Health App are two different Apps. Although both apps are fantastic, I with they were combined into one to see all your stats in the same place. BOTTOM LINE: - One of the basics of a tech product is you want it to do what its supposed to really well, while also improving your life. It's hard to find issues with the Series 6 when everything it does, it does really well. From having great smartwatch features, to helping you achieve fitness goals, to tracking your health/sleep, and just being a beacon of information without having to use your phone. If you have an iPhone and want the absolute best smartwatch experience, I don't think you will find anything better than the Series 6!

I have the series 2 watch and loved it but I decided to upgrade to this one based on the blood oxygen app. I have severe asthma and was hoping that the app might help monitor my breathing for my Dr. I started wearing it the day they went on sale so I would have about 10 days of data before my specialist saw me. It is AMAZINGLY ACCURATE!!! My Dr was so impressed with all the data and it even gave him more insight into my “ups and downs” during the day with my breathing. I’m a huge fan of this new watch and now my Dr is too! We tested it with his oxygen monitor and it was 100% accurate!!

Hey it helps keep me grounded (the breathe / heart rate monitor), awesome for tracking motion activity and steps at work - OVERALL - great product, you forget it’s there, highly recommend a band that you’ll be comfortable in - the original silicone is a little sweaty and itchy. Do you need one? No, but they are helpful... ESPECIALLY WHEN DRIVING: the next turn vibrates / pops up on the screen and it’s so nice to look at that instead of looking for / holding your phone. Also, can’t tell if it’s just me, but sometimes when i take it off, it looks like I just had a hair tie on and leaves an imprint... So i started wearing it looser to prevent circulation from being cut off.

the apple watch is one of the best smartwatches i've owned and i've owned a few. i love the integration with the apple ecosystem. the watch works seamlessly with your iphone, ipad and macbook pro. i love how i can unlock my macbook pro just by wearing my watch. my most used tasks are taking calls, responding to messages and viewing notifications. the watch looks nice. you can easily swap bands and there are a million different styles out there to suit your fashion. i wish there were more faces, but the ones currently available are very good and customizable. its waterproof...i shower with it and swam with it (pool and ocean). battery life is good, but i wish it was better. as an active user you will drain your battery in a day. so this means that you have to charge it once sometime during the day so that you can take advantage of all the features (sleep tracking, stand hours, etc). when it comes to fitness the apple watch has improved my fitness. on a daily basis my micro goals are to close all my rings. i didn't have that with fitbit. fitness tracking is very accurate and you can start workouts manually or automatically. and the data that your watch keeps integrates with practically any app out there. Stava, RunKeeper, Zwift...you name it and you can get data in or out. there is so much to love about the apple watch, but i will end it here and say that if you just want a smart watch, this does it all but if you want more such as fitness and integration with other apps you can do that as well.

Comfortable watch. Charges while I sleep. Counts my steps daily & monitors my activity. It’s nice to get texts going across my watch, too. It has a GPS feature, which is nice in case I fall & need help.

Absolutely love all of the features on my Apple Watch. Now that I have it, I can’t imagine being without. The Disney watch faces are a huge bonus!! The band shown in the photo was an Amazon find, although the original band the watch came with was a bit more comfortable.

Loving my new Apple Watch 6 so far! Love all the faces so you can change it up and personalize as often as you want! I change band colors to go with my scrubs! Fun to check O2 sat and run EKG. Easy to check msgs and notifications quickly. Keeps track of your activity level and sleeping habits.

The iWatch Series 6 has been great. I'm still exploring all of its capabilities but like the ECG and wake up alarm. The only issue was with the Sport band. When I installed the band strap into the case, the band would slide completely to the other side and not click to indicate that it was set properly. Which means the strap could slide out and the watch fall off my hand. See photo below. I have not setup an appointment to go to the Apple Store to get a replacement band.
