Apple Watch Series 6 GPS, 40mm Blue Aluminium Case with Deep Navy Sport Band - Regular

Product Information

The Apple Watch 6 is quite nearly the best Apple has to offer in the wearable space, and if you’re worried about either your heart health or respiratory system, those extra features will bring you a welcome degree of reassurance. Requires an iPhone and Apple Watch with second-generation Ultra Wideband chip. Ultra Wideband availability varies by region.

Apple Watch Series 6 (GPS + Cellular) can use a cellular connection for Emergency SOS. To use Emergency SOS on an Apple Watch without cellular, your iPhone needs to be nearby. If your iPhone isn’t nearby, your Apple Watch needs to be connected to a known Wi-Fi network and you must set up Wi-Fi Calling.

The wake-up screen is nice, showing you the amount of battery left and the weather for the day – so while it is a limited feature, the elements it does have are well executed. 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. The international emergency calling feature requires an Apple Watch Ultra 2 (Cellular), Apple Watch Series 9 (GPS + Cellular) or Apple Watch SE (GPS + Cellular) model. For a list of supported countries and regions, see apple.com/uk/watchos/feature-availability. Apple itself has a full guide to the specifics of each of its own band types through its online store, but, in short, it's different for every band and every user.

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. On the other hand, the Apple Watch 7 doesn't improve on much besides a 20% larger screen and brighter always-on display. 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. Apple Watch Ultra 2, Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch SE require iPhone Xs or later with iOS 17 or later. As ever, battery life on a new Apple Watch is strange. 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.The Series 6 is water-resistant to 165 feet. Apple says it's safe for shallow water activities like swimming (in a pool or in the ocean). You can also wear it in the shower and hot tub. You shouldn't, however, wear it while scuba diving, waterskiing, or "other activities involving high-velocity water or submersion below shallow depth," Apple says. Setup and Interface
