Are You Getting The New Apple Watch 6?

Should You Upgrade From Series 5 To Apple Watch 6?

There's a lot of info on the Internet about the new Apple Watch Series 6 and SE. So instead of repeating what you can find elsewhere, we figured we'd just call out the changes from Series 5 to Series 6 (for those curious as to whether it's worth upgrading or not).

Here's what's different about Series 6:

• Blood Oxygen Monitor: Which helps you understand how well your body is absorbing oxygen, and the amount of oxygen delivered to your body.
• Always-On Altimeter: Which provides real-time elevation all day long. This feature allows for the detection of small elevation changes above ground level, up and down to the measurement of 1 foot.
• Upgraded Always-On Retina Display: This is the same type of display in the Series 5, but the Series 6 is 2.5 times brighter (making it easier to see).
• Improved Internals: Series 6 has an upgraded chipset which should lower power consumption. But with the brighter Retina display, we'll need some real-world testing to see if the battery life is any better.
• New Color Options: In addition to the standard lineup, there are now Blue and Red options for the Aluminum case. And, Graphite is now available for the Stainless Steel case.

So is it worth upgrading to the Series 6? If you really value the differences we've outlined above, then go for it! But we think that the majority of Series 5 owners will not see the differences compelling enough.
