Once again, we regularly got far longer than the advertised 18 hours between charges, usually hitting around 28-30 hours before needing to reach for the charging cable. However, Apple is clear that it’s not a medical tool, and should only be used for monitoring general fitness or wellness – so while it’s an interesting thing to check out from time to time, it doesn’t feel like a headline feature.Īs ever, battery life on a new Apple Watch is strange. A new sensor allows you to see how well-saturated your blood is with that ever-so-useful oxygen, and for the most part it works well. The display, using OLED technology, is as bright and clear as ever – we didn’t notice any extra brightness outside, despite the claims made by Apple, but equally we never struggled to read the display, thanks to the rich colors and good contrast ratios.Īs it has been in recent years, fitness is the key focus of the new Apple Watch, and it’s more prominent than ever. The new colors and designs are interesting, with the new blue and red flavors, in particular, appealing on the wrist, the aluminum casing blending nicely with the more striking hues. On the outside, the Apple Watch 6 continues with the same design language used in previous models – a rounded, metal body with a square display that curves elegantly into the device itself. The Apple Watch 6 is still a strong contender, which is why it's maintained a place in ours best smartwatch round-up, although it's not as high as it once was.
Despite rumors suggesting otherwise, the Watch 7 doesn't include any new health sensors or features, so you're not missing much by opting for the slightly older Apple Watch 6 instead. On the other hand, the Apple Watch 7 doesn't improve on much besides a 20% larger screen and brighter always-on display. Put shortly: the Apple Watch 6 was the company's most refined wearable to date, but there isn't enough new here that may merit upgrading.
