The Apple Watch experience is almost mind blowingly smooth, which is one of the reasons it controls almost half of the industry.

Other notable watchOS7 improvements include a hand-washing timer, mobility indicators, and watch face sharing. Cycle ride mapping, trail charts, Google Maps, and more advanced weather applications are also included in the upgrade.

Blood Oxygen Monitoring

The Apple Watch has a blood oxygen sensor that monitors how much oxygen is in the blood. A blood oxygen level of over 95% is typically considered normal, whereas anything below that may indicate a problem. According to the brand, it's a "wellness" feature, not a medical diagnostic tool. Apple claims that the feature has been thoroughly reviewed by a diverse range of consumers. Similar problems with the Apple Watch's blood oxygen readings have been recorded by other critics.

Apple is participating in research to see how the sensors can assist with early warning. When it comes to measuring blood oxygen, the Withings Scanwatch, which uses the same sensor, is consistently inaccurate. It's possible that measuring blood oxygen from your wrist is inherently difficult. However, it's unclear who Apple plans to use this feature on.

Battery Life

The Apple Watch 6 is rated for the same 18-hour battery life as the Apple Watch Series 5, Series 4 and Series 3. Although, regular use of GPS can reduce the battery life to around 16 hours, not bad for a smartwatch. It can be charged to full in 90 minutes, though it can take closer to 2 hours to fully charge.

The Apple Watch 6 is perfect for fitness, health and exercise related tasks. The watch works hand-in-hand with Apple Fitness, which is available for $9.99 monthly and $79.99 yearly.It is also available for 3 months free if you buy a new Mac or iPad.
