Customer Ratings & Reviews

Very nice, lots of capabilities, quite complicated.

I upgraded from the 1st edition. The screen is 2mm larger and pictures come through which is different than the 1st edition. It suppose to measure my oxygen level but it doesn’t. My old one register my heart rate. I really don’t see much of a difference.

Good smartwatch but due to Apple's horrible fitness app, it is not a good fitness tracker compared to Fitbit. It could be great but the app is horribly basic and does not provide enough detail. I would have returned it but I could not find my receipt.

This product has officially sworn me off Apple's planned obsolescent products forever. After asking the salesperson at Best Buy if the Series 6 watch would be compatible with an Iphone 6, I was told as long as I have the Apple watch app on my phone and it works with my current watch, it will be compatible. My old watch was a series one. After purchasing the Series 6, I took it home and attempted to pair it with my Iphone 6. The phone said to pair the watch, I had to upgrade the software in the phone first. I upgraded the software in the phone. When I attempted to pair the watch again, it indicated that I needed to update the software in the watch. When I requested the update for the watch, the phone said once again, the phone needed to be upgraded to pair with the watch. When I checked the phone, it indicated that the phone software was up to date and there was no further updates available. After repeating this scenario several times, I researched online and found out that the Iphone 6 is not compatible with the Series 6 apple watch. I would have to have an Iphone 6+. Eye roll. When I attempted to go back to the Series one Apple watch, it was no longer able to connect to the phone because of the software upgrade on the phone. Planned obsolescence. I am not able to upgrade my Iphone to a newer version at will because my company supplies it, and they decide when I get upgraded, Its certainly not every new model that Apple decides to release. I realize I should have checked online before blindly believing the word of a salesperson who just wants to make a sale and doesn't truly research these things, but that is one of the reasons I still shop in person rather than buying on line is trusting their expertise. Not anymore. I returned the Series 6 watch and bought a Sumsung Active watch. It paired right up with the Motorola Android that I have for personal use. $240 sales loss for Best Buy. Its not as slick and robust as the Apple watch, but it works and it wasn't a huge hassle to set up. This is not the first negative experience that I have had with Apple products but it will be the last. Give me a Microsoft operating system based PC and an Android phone anytime.

I like the accuracy of the data. Especially the GPS. I am not too sure about the battery life. It seems that I need to charge it every night. If I didn't do this before I go to bed the battery would sure be dead by the next day. What worth would the sleep data or an alarm be? Since I bought it as a exercise monitor and for health, I don't play music or use it for e mail or pay attention for notifications so the battery life seems to really stink. I also have had a Fitbit I usually could go for 3 days before charging. Also for nutrition I had to buy an app Lifesum to take care of it. There premium $37+ for a year doesn't do any better than Fitbits nutrition log.

I wish it was waterproof instead of water resistant! Sometimes it can be irritating and I resort to just using my cell phone. I think it will get better in the future and I will have to upgrade and spend more money then.

Was looking at this and a Fitbit. Regret not getting the Fitbit. This is counter intuitive and requires paid apps to do the same functions as the Fitbit. Pros are yes you can see emails on it. For the money, go with the Fitbit!

I bought this as an upgrade from my series 3 watch which I liked a lot but it had a fatal trip to the beach. The 6 seemed nice but after a few days using it, the swipe up/down feature stopped working. Then it worked sometimes and sometimes not. I checked Apple support for a solution and discovered it’s a pretty common problem. The suggested solutions did not solve the problem. Lots and lots of people on the support page who had same problem and got replacement watches from Apple, and the replacements had the same problem. Hey Apple, please listen carefully to the following: if I wanted stuff that didn’t work out of the box so I could spend hours and days dealing with tech support, I’d stick with msft and save some money. I buy Apple and pay premium for it because it’s “supposed to be” a premium product that, you know, actually works. The swipe is the most use feature of the watch, not some obscure feature that most people might not use anyway. For this to be a known problem that you’re shipping defective is just a huge, huge disappointment coming from Apple. I returned the watch. I’m not relaxing it. I’ll wait for 7 or beyond and see if you’ve started respecting your customers again. Not another cent from met until you do.

I seem to have a sensitivity to the band, and I wish I would have waited for the 7, but this is still ok. I had to use the other band that came with it, and bought a case and insurance, as I am clumsy.

A little disappointed for the price paid. The stairs climbed feature does NOT work. If I climb 7 flights it tells me 0-1 one day & the next it might say 6. Way off every day. ECG has never worked since purchased.

Overall good smartwatch, measures blood oxygenation and pulse. However, the rubber band gave a maaaajor rash on a wrist. Also noticed during a workout that pulse was shown 185 in gray without going any higher.

About this for my daughter and she wasn’t as happy with it as she thought she would be she doesn’t like the things that it does so she only uses it once a while

Color me disappointed, Apple. This was a replacement for a Fitbit. The blood oxygen and ecg are fun but the novelty wears off quickly. The sleep tracking is horrible- it doesn’t give you anywhere near the details that a Fitbit provides. The watch is loaded with a bunch of apps- why would I want to check stock prices on my watch? The tracking does not pick up workouts automatically even with that option turned on. I can be a mile into a walk before it buzzes and asks me if I want to track this. You’re Apple, you should be tracking this automatically. Overall, not worth the money.

I like all the functions absolutely no complaints there. But the battery life is not good at all. I am recharging every other day when I had other devices that I could go 4 to 5 days without a charge.

I did not enjoy this item. It worked fine, but it didn’t really do anything my phone didn’t do, and needed the phone in proximity to work. Kind of disappointed. But everyone else seems to like this item.

Purchased in April 2021. Died November 2023. Short life for such a pricy watch.

Trade in process of my prior watch was not fair. Each BB team member had different opinion on watch status. Need to get all aligned on process Other than this, watch is great.

I am a little disappointed. For the things i use it for like tracking sleep, steps and HR I should have stuck with a fitbit. This is much bigger than i expected and I honestly don't use it much.

If you absolutely need the newest, latest and greatest, then get it. Otherwise It’s no different then the five and three. The only thing is you get an oxygen sensor that doesn’t work correctly.

Apple Watch watch series 6 is Great for health, notifications and everyday life. If you don’t have one. But the Battery life is very low compared other like fitbit, need to charge every day
