Apple Watch Series 6 has lots of tiny updates over the Series 5, but none of them add up to a must-upgrade. It is the best smartwatch, but don't forget that Apple's other watches are also great. Plus, the blood oxygen monitor is unreliable. Dieter Bohn has the full review.

Will you upgrade to the Series 6?
Yeah im probably going to upgrade from my Apple Watch SE
100%
No compelling reason to upgrade my S4
@Ryanoth Yeah, the refurbs are honestly not that great of a deal. Might as well just buy new at that price. I'm coming from a cracked series 3 FYI
I love Samsung ecosystem and everything Samsung 💖

he lost me at this being the best watch
Is it worth to upgrade from series 4 to series 6?
It be cool if my $400 apple 6 watch 44mm came with a $2 wall adapter, ya know? So that I can charge it. So that I don’t have to share my iPhone wall adapter and switch it every f’n time. I would trade the inconsistent blood oxygen feature for a $2 wall adapter. Or maybe include a $2 gift card to Walmart so that I can drive there and buy a wall adapter. Technology has not advanced to the point were electrical outlets are not needed, even charging discs and stations require a wall adapter. It’d be cool if the watch came with everything you needed, ya know?
all u bloggers talk about is how this watch is great talk about what is not so great about it let the consumers know what to expect on the not so greater side
talk about the downfall of these watches let the buyers knows they are not durable it will crash on you and can't be fixed
Now that there is always on display, are wake-up gestures - "Lift worth waking up" on or off?
I was like "a minute update?" I realized its a "my-noot" update
Apple watch SE review please 😅
Is here anyone a Bot?
Are all these other smartwatch features really so useful? You say Apple has the best smartwatch but my $70 Amazfit Bip lasts 30+ days, can play/pause music, counts steps and shows notifications. I really don't understand how the Apple Watch which is $300 more and has to be charged daily could possibly be a reasonable purchase.
Is the watch reviewed in the video 40mm or 44mm?

I went from the 3 to the 6, it was a really nice upgrade. I love this big screen! And the always-on display. The other new things are nice. The 3 is still good enough to pass down, but the battery is getting weak. It is great having the watch in general, I recommend it to anyone with an iPhone. It’s nice to be able to leave my phone away longer since I can get calls or texts when needed. Just make sure to turn off almost all of the notifications! The fall detection is great peace of mind, glad the older relatives have the watch. I love tracking workouts with it.
He so wrong! It’s worth the upgrade to 6. Faster processor, u1 chip, bigger battery, O2 monitoring, updated sensors,
Brand new phone, same old battery life. 🚮 🚮 🚮
No Watch SE review ?
If you have a series 4 there is no need to upgrade either unless you walk around all day with your wrist in front of your face all day, your gonna have to lift your wrist to see the time, which makes always on a gimmick along with the blood oxygen sensor that you would use once or twice then forget it’s even on the watch, people don’t think these days, even the colors are useless if you have to cover them up to protect the watch from bumps and scratches, which you do.

4:51 wrong : SE is like series 3 not 4 in terms of sensors. The series 4 has the ECG. Series 5 has ECG + display always-on. SE has nothing but the speed of series 5. We shouldn't say Series 6 has an oxygen monitor because it is NOT accurate, not for medical usage. Yes, it is useless and might be dangerously misread.
what's up with comment section either they want dieter to go solo or they want dieter as their dad :-*
Traded my 5 in for it, for some reason it feels a lot better against my wrist than the 5 did
Such a good presenter
My first gen Apple Watch works just fine in past 5 years. But with watchOS 7 release, many software drop the support for watchOS 4 so maybe it's time to get a new Apple Watch. I think I'll get the official refurbished series 5.
Fire The Oxygen Engineer Manger.

Dieter's quarantine descent into madness progresses XD
Sounds like best part of watch is the 3rd party apps. I do like the red one.... I wonder if they will ever make a watch look like a watch. I get they want it to stand out. Im sure they could still make it standout. Good review
Do a video review of Samsung galaxy watch 3 ... And compare it with series 6
A chik fil a salad doesn't need dressing and I put that on my momma
Very honest about blood oxygen sensor, As always honest and straight forward review
Blood oxygen is fairly new for smart watches, before Apple Watch Series 6, only Gamin started to put pulse oximeter to measure your blood oxygen level in 2018 in their Fenix 5 Plus lineup, it makes more sense since it’s a multi-sports smart watch, climbers and some other sports might find it useful, it also use blood oxygen readings in their sleep tracking (takes a reading every hour), it also uses the readings to estimate how tired you are, for example if your blood oxygen level aren’t that great during your sleep, you probably didn’t sleep well.
I love Samsung ecosystem and everything Samsung 💖
Im on an S4, I'm waiting for the S7 to come out unless it breaks. Also, so many other people are doing the same thing, so if anybody reads this message and has a usable s4 or s5, keep it. But you should upgrade if you have an s3 or lower if you use it regularly.
Antonio Emanuele Addis-Pilo You have just made the smartest statement in this section.
Missing force touch so much ;(
PLEASE use a disclaimer for these videos!!! The apple watch is NOT a medical device, and not a reliable method to monitor, diagnose, or treat ANY disease!!
I just wanna see the watch , no reason no record yourself the entire video
Putting an expensive watch on my kid wouldn’t make me feel calm but the opposite: maybe someone tries to attack her for the watch ... it’s a pricey gadget.
The reason why you’re getting the “unsuccessful measurement” screen is probably because of the band, I have the same one that you have but with the sport band and I haven’t gotten one unsuccessful measurement
Am so grateful to *Hackermilo on Instagram* who helped me to access my wife's iwatch he's really great and affordable

I have no idea why they don't fire this reviewer , unless it is apple product he has zero energy to review any other product
S2 here, really hope blood oxygen get more accurate, but S6 was not. So let wait for S7. my S2 still work well and battery life can take it for a day: Included a 60 minutes workout, full notifications, take some calls, also track my sleep with pillow app. Just need to charge it around 30 before goto bed and during breakfast in the morning, it’s ok for me. But, dang, always on display look so great! 😆
Why do we expect major updates on a mature device. I don't get that.
Anyone know if the Braided solo loop will absorb moisture or is it waterproof?
Link to those solo bands?
Conversely, I found the Blood ox sensor to be reliable and gave results within 1%+- of a 60 dollar dedicated sensor. I think the more honest observation about this feature would be "results may vary depending on user."
As far as tech is concerned, especially software.. Nowadays it’s not about what’s the best... It’s just a matter of what’s the least worst.
can do you compare with galaxy watch3?
I loooove my Series 3 😊
Its the best Apple Watch ever 🤪
what about new fitbit ?
I am good with my 3 series they’re enough for $200
It's hard to ignore the power of branding when you see how many people spend their money on fitness trackers. If you want to track fitness because you're an athlete or have specific fitness goals, Garmin and Fitbit appear to sell products that perform basically the same tasks for much less. There's just not much very compelling about the Apple Watch.
Has anyone else had problems with the constant on display turning off?
No, I’m good with my Apple Watch Series 4 to be honest... It doesn’t worth an upgrade for me 😅
Ooop
ECG is on series 4 so it’s not the same as the new SE
Obviously I strongly recommend you to dark__epic on Instagram for iwatch unlocke I just got mine unlocked
1:29 my whole life changed with the help of, *p a i d t o b e h o m e .c o m*
I still don’t see a reason to upgrade my series 4...
Blood oxygen level: just check dave 2d video!
I realized I always take the watch off when I'm about to shower, and I leave it charging. So I'd never really need a 2day battery life.
You gotta respect the title for this video though
I haven’t got unsuccessful reading! None! I am tired of hearing all of you crying about it. It works perfectly for me!
I agree with Dieter, the only thing about the 6 I care about is the Always-On screen. Not bothered about the blood oxygen monitor, etc.
Forgot about series 4 :)
I haven’t had an unsuccessful reading yet. But I did get a really low reading one night while I was sleeping.
This is the best smartwatch of the year. Better than my Series 5. My AT&T model.
Battery is much improved for me over the Series 5

A kid does not need a smartwatch. Stop making it a normal thing.
Judging by the title I thought you will tell everything about the update in a minute. 😆
hey the gold is a new color too! =)
Can the cat get a name 🐈
Every os is upgrading but Siri is just not.!!!!
I feel like I'm the only person in the world who has never had an issue with the blood oxygen readings. Has worked perfectly every time ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I don't think it's particularly useful...but it always works for me.
Dieter Bohn - As always, Thank you for the honest review!!
That (PRODUCT)RED & black solo braided loop combo is exactly the combo I want. Too bad Apple doesn’t sell it bundled together. To get those colour combos, gotta order separately & pay more. Still it’s my favourite colour combo.
Picked mine up and love it.
Tons of options? You either get the new 6. Or the budget option, the SE. Just 2. And yea theres previous models
Upgrading from S3 to SE... SE is excellent value for money. Don't care for AOD and BOS and ECG is not available is Australia so.......
Continuity error: during the "conference call" it's 7:30 for Dieter and 10:04 for Dan 😅
Upgraded from a Series 4. Worth it at this point honestly.
I just ordered mines. I’m upgrading from a series 4 too
Why cant you use the speaker for music or videos? saving it for an upcoming model?
Series 5 in Australia is pretty much a Series 4 with an always on display
Why won’t they just make the Apple Watch an independent device... I don’t want to add an additional plan for family members who won’t need it.
I swear when this video was upload teh title read Apple Watch Series 6 is the best smartwatch. Why the tone-down?
Still rocking my Series 1. Still works great! 👍
Already hard enough to have kids stop staring at the iPad all day and now a watch. They love their garmin.
