Today we're focusing on two products that have played integral roles in people's everyday lives, Apple Watch and iPad. Let's get started with Apple Watch and this year watch OS 7 adds several important health features that take advantage of the powerful technology in Apple Watch. The new sleep app uses the motion sensors to track your sleep automatic hand, washing detection, recognizes the motion and sound when washing your hands and encourages you to continue for the recommended 20 seconds and watchOS 7 now uses your motion and heart rate to measure a lower range of vo2 max values. Series 6 is our most colorful lineup ever there's a new blue aluminum case. This updated classic gold, stainless steel finish a new gray, black stainless steel called graphite and for the first time, a stunning new Apple Watch, product red with Apple Watch Series 6. You can measure your blood oxygen right from your wrist.
The new health sensor in series 6 shines red and infrared light onto your wrist and measures. The amount of light reflected back advanced algorithms use this data to calculate the color of your blood, which indicates the amount of oxygen present. The new blood oxygen app lets you take a measurement in just 15 seconds and series 6 also captures periodic background readings and stores them in your health fab. So if you wear your Apple Watch to bed, it can record background measurements. While you sleep inside series, 6 is our sixth generation system in package.
It's a purpose-built design, that's absolutely unique in the industry. It includes a high performance, dual-core processor based on the a13 bionic and iPhone 11, but optimized for Apple Watch. The s6 is up to 20 faster than the previous generation because of its energy efficient design. Series 6 has an even better always on display making it easier to read your watch on sunny days without having to wake the display. Now it's two and a half times brighter outdoors when your wrist is down series 6 also features a new always-on altimeter that provides continuous elevation throughout the day.
The GMT face shows multiple time zones at once and takes into account where you are the count up phase lets. You start tracking elapsed time from any given point and inspired by classical racing watches. The chronograph preface features multiple time scales, including attack emitter to measure speed based on time traveled over a set distance in the typography face, numerals can be displayed in three custom type, styles and four different scripts. Every combination is tailored to fit the face perfectly. We also collaborated with the artist Jeff McFetridge to create a unique piece of art for your watch.
There are millions of combinations and a different one animates. When you raise your wrist, the emoji face brings your favorite emoji to your watch. Each one moves and reacts to your touch and with the stripe space you can show your pride in who you are support your favorite team or even match what you're wearing we're so proud to add to the legacy of Apple Watch faces with this new collection. The solo loop is remarkably simple, no clasp no buckle, no overlapping parts. Just one continuous piece made from custom liquid silicone the solo loop is stretchable, so you can easily slip it on and off your wrist.
It looks great, and it's durable, and it's swim proof, so it can go anywhere, it's available in a range of sizes. So you can find your most comfortable fit, and it comes in seven, fantastic colors. This new band style is so comfortable. We did another version called the braided solo loop, it's made from 100 recycled yarn, that's meticulously braided with ultra-thin silicone threads, and it will be available in five colors we're also offering a new take on the leather band, with the new leather link, with no loot back or clasp of any kind. There are also great new updates for Apple Watch, Nike with fun new sport band and sport, loop, colors, plus the new Nike watch face and for Apple Watch Hermes, we're introducing the new at latch band in both single tour and Dublin tour.
Right now, Apple Watch needs to pair with an iPhone, which is something they might not have. This is why we are excited to introduce family setup with family setup. You can use your iPhone to pair watches for your children or older members in your household, who don't have their own phones, and they will have their own phone number and account whether they're learning at home or in the classroom. The new school time mode helps kids stay focused with do not disturb restricted interaction and this distinctive look, which teachers or parents can recognize at a glance. The second thing we're doing to make Apple Watch available to even more people are to create a new model that combines elements of series 6 design with the most essential features of Apple Watch, all at a more affordable price.
We call it Apple Watch SC, an Apple Watch, SC has the same accelerometer, gyroscope, compass and altimeter as series six, and because it has the latest motion, sensors Apple Watch, SC also supports fall, detection, a feature: that's made, a life-saving difference for many Apple Watch, wearers Apple Watch, SC starts at just 279 Apple Watch Series 6 with the breakthrough. New blood oxygen sensor starts at just 3.99, and series 3 continues at its great entry price of just 1.99. We know that customers have been accumulating USB power adapters and that producing millions of unneeded adapters consumes resources and adds to our carbon footprint. So this year we are removing the USB power adapter from Apple Watch. So that's our lineup Apple Watch Series 6 with a new blood oxygen sensor, the most advanced Apple Watch yet, and the very capable and affordable Apple Watch SC.
