The brand new apple watch series 6 in product red and this is available in blue silver and gold as well and goes from 399 for the 40 millimeter band the 44 millimeter which is this one is429 and then it goes well over a thousand dollars if you get the her mes version .
so it just depends which version you get but let's go ahead and unbox it and take a look at what's new so this is the series six product red like i said and this is the wi-fi model it doesn't have cellular so let's go ahead and open it up cellular would have been more expensive so let's open this up here and then we.
pull these tabs and it opens right up so this should be the box for the watch and this was my option for the strap this was the only one i could find i found this at a local best buy and you'll see it says product red inside so the packaging matches nicely and let's take a look at what we get now this year we don't get a power adapter so let's go ahead and open this up and inside is your normal documentation and you've got the product red documentation with it explaining that a little bit if you want to read it you can just pause it here and then it just gives a little overview and it has that new solo loop i wasn't able to get my hands on that new band but maybe a little bit later now also we've got the charger and that's about it so inside.
if we open this up here we've got the standard charger with ausb a so you can plug this into any wall brick you already have i know i have a ton of themthis may be a pain for some people but there's plenty of those laying aroundand then here's the watch i'll set this aside and let's take a look at the bandso this is your standard apple band but in product red so let's see where's theopening here there we go so we'll open it up like that and this is just like i said a productred band so you have the larger or smaller strap that comes with it andthen the other piece as well so let's take this take the wrapper off and let's set the strap aside so that wecan take a look at the watch now the watch is updated significantlyover well my series 4 apple watch that i have herenow let's go ahead and slide this out here there we go i turned it on just bysliding this out.
we'll take the longer strap slide it in the bottoms horter one here there we go and it's booted upand it feels very light i'm used to the steel watch with a titanium band on itthis band is from nomad but let me take off the band so we can take a look at the sensors on the bottom that are all new on the series 5 or the series 6 rather so on the left i have the series 4 and on the right is the series 5. you can see the sensors are a little different and that's because we now have blood oxygen monitoring now apple says this is not a medical device so maybe that's how you can use it pretty much around the world from what i understand but it has all the other sensors in it as well now it has apple's new dual core s6 system on a chip it's their all-new apple silicon which is more power efficient and allows for an always-on display that's double the brightness over the series.
five so that should be pretty interesting it also has the u1 chip set inside now for wi-fi it has apple's w3 wireless chip set inside and what that means is it can do five gigahertz wi-fino wi-fi six but it's not really necessary in a watch so let's go ahead and pair this so we'll bring it next toour iphone and it says pair we'll go ahead and hit continue and set up for myself or set up for a family member i'll set it up for myself and should take a second there this is how we set it up and it immediately recognizes it now i can set it up as a new watch or restore from backup i'll set it up as a new watch and then it's asking which wrist do i want to put it on i'll put it on my left wrist and now it's connecting to the apple watch it may take a moment now
while we're waiting for this this should be waterproof up to 50 meters so now that the watch isconnected i'll hit agree and then it's signing into my account that can take a moment now it's saying shared settings apple watch shares settings with iphone location that's fine we'll hit ok and now it's saying bold text and size select the preferred reading experience so we want it bigger or smaller i think i'll leave it right there you can tur non bold text as well and then we can create a pass code soi'll create a pass code and you do that on the watch once we've created a pass code it says on the phone keep your apple watch up to date install manually or install updates manually or just hit continue you can set up apple pay i'll set it up later and then also emergency soswe'll hit continue and then clock faces so it's telling you you can change them of course we already know that and now it's saying in stall all available apps or choose later i'll choose later and then it will sync with the apple watch and go over the basics now while we're waiting for this we'll go over the basics in a moment but you can see this is a really nice red color it might be a
little too bright for me but it's pretty nice and you can see it is the wi-fi model the digital crown may look a little bit different if you have the cellular model but it's wi-fi we have our normal power button here digital crown microphone and then speakers on the other side so very familiar very similar the case really hasn't changed other than the color now one issue i ran into when i was pairing my watch was that after i had set it up blood oxygen never showed up so if you're on ios 14.2 beta you'll need to be on ios 14 i found so i actually had to reset it and pair it with an iphone 11 pro instead of my pro max.
so let's go ahead and continue and we'll enable blood oxygen so now the watch is set up it says welcome to apple watch and says you can adjust your settings and so on so it comes pre-installed i think with watch os seven so let's take a look and as you can see down at the bottom it's watch os seven pre-installed and before we get started one of the first things i like to do is change the app view to a list view makes it a little bit easier i prefer that and then you can see down here we have all of our new settings such as hand.
washing and you can turn that on or off whatever you'd like so let's go to the watch i'll put it on my wrist and let's take a look at that new o2 sensor since the watch itself is pretty familiar i did a watch os 7 video so if you want tosee everything new in that be sure to check that out and now we're in the watch so let's go up to the top here blood oxygen and it says here are some tips that can help you take a good measurement it says make sure your watch is not too low on your wrist your watch should be snug but comfortable and then it says keep your watch facing up and try not to move resist or resting your wrist on a table can help so we'll hit done so we'll rest it on the table let's go ahead and hit start and it's counting down from 15 seconds so we'll give it a minute you can see the animation we've got six seconds left and normally you just want to breat he normally and it says unsuccessful measurement so letme try it again.
so here we go what's it say and it say sun successful let me tighten the watch band and see if it makes a difference idon't normally like my watch band too tight let's try it again so let's see what it says and that time it said 98 blood oxygen level that's actually pretty good so it says you can view blood oxygen measurements in the health app on iphone so it does have to be kind of tight thisis tighter than i like just slide it down i normally have it onthe second to last if i'm using this particular watch band now initially i didn't have the compass app because compass wasn't installed on my iphone 11 pro.
it was sort ofnot used a lot so it wasn't installed but now that it is let's go to compassand under compass we'll hit ok scroll down and it should give uscontinuous elevation so right now it says i'm at a 15incline as i move my wrist it will change and then add bearing you can change it to whatever you want canceland as you can see here once it updates it should give me my elevationand it should track that continuously on this watch now this isn't always ondisplay and as you can see it's active right nowso if i drop my wrist down the watch face changes and it's on but it's always on so it's sort of just staying like this and of course.
it will change as i raise my wrist and then it goes back to active so it is definitely brighter when it's always on just sort of dimmed in the background it's really nice that they've added that and that's really it for the new series six apple watch not a whole lot new other than the always on altimeter and the new chipset inside of course there is that double brightness display but.
if you're coming from a series 5 i'm not sure you'll want to upgrade just for the o2 sensor so that's it for the series 6apple watch let me know what you think about it in the comments below and alsoif you're picking one up and which version are you going to get there gular version cellular and wi-fi titanium edition version or stainlesssteel let me know in the comments below.
