Apple Watch Series 6 Unboxing and First Look! By Lance Ulanoff

What have we here: it's got the Apple logo? Less than 24 hours ago apple introduced its Apple Watch Series 6. I think that's what's inside this bag, so first we have um. This is just an iPhone 11 that we're going to use to test out the new Apple Watch Series, six new Apple Watch and on the back it says, uh Apple Watch Series six right there, in addition to the Apple Watch Series, 6 apple, sent me a bunch of the new solo loot bands to try out uh, what's unique about these bands, which are both woven fabric or some sort of like post consumer material, that's kind of like yarn, uh and the uh silicon. The liquid silicon is that they are a single piece, single piece band. So I guess we have a couple of different size options here they come in nine size options, uh, let's hope apple guessed right. I don't expect uh.

You know this is not a major redesign of the Apple Watch. I'm wearing the Apple Watch Series five right here, uh. This is the series six we're going to unbox it right here. This is a blue aluminum case, 44 millimeters, so 44 millimeters is the size I usually wear, because I like a bigger size, I'm not a big guy but um. The small 38 millimeters would not be or is it 40 millimeters would not be right for me, so I always like the way this opens.

Oh, this is going to be pretty the Apple Watch. Series.6 is not a major redesign, but it does have some significant new features in addition to the new s6 chip, which is supposed to be faster and potentially more battery efficient. There is a blood oxygenation measurement sensor on here and an app that goes with it. So that's that's, probably. The big marquee feature also has a new altimeter to constantly measure your elevation like how high am I okay.

So inside the box, we obviously have the Apple Watch Series six, and we have a traditional two-piece liquid silicon band. We will definitely they'll be trying out the single loop piece single piece loop band, so this is the new Apple Watch Series six, and I love how it looks. It's so small, but once I put the bands on it look different. This is uh it's one of the new colors. I believe, so it's 44 millimeter, let's carefully take it out of here, and this is an um.

This is one with cell service. You can tell because it's got the uh, you see, it's got the red right there. I thought it'd be fun to look at the new Apple Watch Series, six versus uh, the Apple Watch Series, five, just to get a quick idea of the differences here and uh. You know the size is 44 millimeters, basically the same uh. The digital crowns look basically the same.

They have different weights because they're different materials, stainless steel versus aluminum, but the big difference on them is the back. So the sensors are significantly different on the Apple Watch Series 5 versus the Apple Watch Series 6. And those sensors right there are to read the blood oxygenation level. There's more there are more sensors. Consider it's an entire circular array of them.

In fact, one thing you might notice is that, while the Apple Watch Series 6 does ship with a charging cable, it no longer has the USB charging adapter and apple cut that out, for they said uh environmental reasons. So as we're setting up the Apple Watch Series six, I figure we'll uh choose one of these uh one of these bands. These new solo loop bands, uh to put on the new Apple Watch. I've got size six and size seven. I have a.

Furthermore, I have a pretty small wrist, so I'm going to go with size, six and see how that works. So there's the new solo band, supposedly it's quite stretchy. Let's see I'll slide this in here slide this in here. That looks like it may be too small. For my wrist.

Let's see! Oh actually, that's a that's a perfect fit. Look at that. I really I have a small wrist all right. So let's begin the uh setup process. It should guide me through it.

I've got the iPhone 11 running iOS 14. , and now it's going to have me, put it next to the phone got that together, okay uh. So it's got already has the new I could set up an Apple Watch for myself or for a family member, and that's one of the things that apple just introduced is being able to have multiple watches connected to a single phone. So if you and you want to give one to all of your kids, you can do that. So we've got that and then let's see, if we can do this right got it.

I always wear my uh, my watches, all my watches, including my apple watches, on my right wrist. Even though I'm a righty go figure. Even now you can tell the screen is pretty you know it's the always-on retina display, and they actually increase the brightness to 2.5 times more than it was before, for when you have that that sort of you just the glance ability of the screen. So what about you? Do you like the digital crown and the bottom left or the top right? I, like the top right, and it's interesting to note that some people thought apple was going to get rid of the digital crown on the Apple Watch Series 6, but they did not. So here's the big new marquee feature on the Apple Watch Series, 6, blood, oxygenation tracking and, of course, I'm going to enable this, because I want to see how it works.

The Apple Watch Series 6 has a bunch of new watch faces, so I plan on choosing one of the new ones sure, let's install all the apps. Why not? I am kind of curious about these uh fabric, more fabric, like solo loop bands, oh wow, look at this yep stretchy! Oh, once again we slip it in like that. These are so flexible, they're really easy to put on like that. Once again, perfect fit look. It says it's ready, press, the digital crown to start.

Oh, that was pretty. I guess my new watch faces aren't in yet uh there are no options all right! I can tell you right away that I am a big fan of the solo loop band, it's just it's a no-brainer, so uh. One thing I can tell right away about these two watches is that the always-on display on the Apple Watch Series six is brighter than uh. They always on the Apple Watch Series five, but apple, says that with the new s6 chip uh, that it does better power management. So even though this is going to be brighter more often it's going to last the same 18 hours, we'll see so a couple other things about the uh, the new s6 chip inside the Apple Watch Series, six uh it's about uh 20, faster supports five gigahertz Wi-Fi and with the u1 chip you get ultra-wide band all right.

Lets uh, let's see if we can access the new blood oxygenation features. So let's see, what's that, that's it. I just guessed that which one would be the uh, the proper icon for it. Okay, so here are some of the tips to take a good measurement, make sure your watch is not too low. On your wrist, your watch bands should be snug but comfortable, perfect.

Keep your watch facing up and try not to move resting. Your wrist on a table can help. I can try and do that, but it's not going to be that easy all right. So we're not going to rest it on a table this time we're just going to do it. This way, I will run it again resting on a table to be sure.

Lets uh, let's start pretty visuals right, darn it all right. Blood, oxygenation test, take two: let's press here, there's the icon: let's relax! Oh yeah, look at me, 99, I'm rocking it right! Yay, me. Let's see what the information says: blood sage, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. Most people have a blood oxygen of 95 to 100 percent. Okay among the new features uh, not necessarily uh, just for the Apple Watch Series six, but with watch OS, seven, which you can upgrade your previous apple watches to or will come with the Apple Watch Series.

Six is sleep tracking and also a reminder, or basically a timer for washing your hands uh 20 seconds. So you know this is technology introductions in the time of Ovid. You know it occurs to me that the new single piece loop bands are going to be uh, really helpful for sleep tracking, because I often worried about wearing this while I'm sleeping, but without a know, a clasp or anything. Here, it's going to be a lot more comfortable. You barely feel this I mean now.

I don't know how it'll feel if I'm like I roll over and put this onto my body, but probably not bad. The only real question is how battery life holds up because now you're going to be wearing this all night um, but the s6 chip does allow the Apple Watch Series six to charge faster. So you can do like a quick charge in the morning and get enough juice, probably to get you through the work day. The apple art series, 6 uses a combination of LEDs and photodiodes, basically to read the light reflected back that it, the ultraviolet light that it shoots into your wrist, which is a way of seeing the oxygenation of your blood. In addition to your blood oxygen being read on your wrist, it's also collected in your health app, and so my last reading is right here.

Where I got a 99, I did pretty well in addition to these on-demand measurements. Uh the Apple Watch Series six can do background blood, oxygenation measurements, so I'll get sort of uh some tracking over time. I'll get some tracking information in here uh again, it's just uh wellness data. I guess if it were really low, I could go to my doctor and say my blood doesn't have enough oxygen. Furthermore, I mean yeah.

That would be an indication that I'm probably getting ill some new uh the new watch faces. This is a one arm. Oh, that's a nice! Looking one! It's a good one! Let's see that's kind of cool, we can uh have any character all right. Yes, I can create my own emoji uh watch face here oops hear hear, and I could of course I can edit it and change my hairstyle browse eyes. All of that, but I've pretty much done all I need already so here I create a watch face and there you go now, I'm on my own watch.

I can't wait to take this guy on a hike to see about the new always-on altimeter for uh. You know telling me about my elevation when apple fitness plus comes out later this year, I'll be able to exercise with this and with a screen like the one I'm using here or an iPad, or my Apple TV and uh work out with some of these trainers. The new Apple Watch Series 6 starts at 399 for the 40 millimeter case and 429 for the 44 millimeter case, which that's what I've got right here. That's this one! Those are the prices for the aluminum model. If you wanted a stainless steel model, it can cost you over a thousand dollars for the 44 millimeter model, and obviously this one with the uh.

The cell service is going to cost you a little more because not only do you pay more for the ability to make calls directly on your Apple Watch without your phone, but you have to pay your carrier an extra like 15 a month for that service. You know it occurs to me that some people don't even know why they would want an Apple Watch. You know here's what I love my Apple Watch for. I love it for all the notifications. I get all my text messages all my news updates, so it's all the crucial stuff that maybe I'm not pulling my phone out of my pocket, but I get a ping on my wrist and boom.

Furthermore, I'm able to see immediately what's going on or if I need to pay attention. Furthermore, I also love it for the maps and directions. So I use Apple Maps and one of the things that I can do is when I'm driving I get these taps for turn-by-turn directions. So that's you know for somebody who struggles to find their way. That is a huge deal uh, and you know with the new biking routes.

So I would wear this and get on my bike and get the taps for not just street routes but bike routes to wherever I want to go. So that's a big deal too, and obviously I can do things like. I can pay with my Apple Watch. I can make calls with my Apple Watch, but you know I don't leave the house very much anymore. So I do a lot of my calls on the phone.

I've only spent a little of time with the Apple Watch Series six, but um. You know I like what I see it's its a super familiar design. It's got great new features. The blood oxygenation level testing is uh, really cool. Obviously it's still good.

It's basically swim proof. You can go up to 50 meters with this and no problem. It's still got fall detection. It's still got the noise uh, the noise measurement. So if noise is too loud, you'll get the alert that the decibel levels are too high for you.

Uh. It's got 18 hours of battery life. It's faster! You know it's got great speakers um. If you do, a lot of you know calls on your Apple Watch overall. I think that uh apple's off to a good start with the Apple Watch Series, six.

It looks familiar, but it's got some great fun new features and some useful and important new features, but I really have to spend a lot more time with it before I know for certain what I think, thanks for watching, remember to rate review and subscribe.
