Apple Watch Series 6 vs Watch SE - there is a new default Apple Watch in town! By PhoneArena

There you have them. The new Apple Watch Series 6 with the blood oxygen sensor on my left wrist and the new affordable Apple Watch. Sc on my right wrist come on guys, I'm just kidding their, not here yet Apple has just officially announced them, but you know what something is different about: the Apple Watch this year. Yes, it's the first time that we have two different models announced at the same time, but what really matters is the exact way. These two differ. The Apple Watch Series 6 is obviously the more advanced one with that fancy new blood oxygen sensor, but also with electrocardiograms or eggs that you cannot take on the Apple Watch SC, and it got me thinking that these two differences clearly set the series 6 as the true health conscious watch, while the SE does pretty much everything else besides fully covering those advanced health features and here's an important footnote.

These are indeed advanced health features and as cool as apple can make that new blood oxygen sensor appear in those ads. The company actually failed to provide even a single use case as to why you might actually want it, except if you're in space and unless Elon Musk hurries up I'm afraid. Not many of us are going there soon, so that blood oxygen sensor is really cool technology in itself. Here's how it works. An array of green red and infrared LEDs, light up the blood vessels in your wrist and then photodiodes measure the amount of light reflected back, complex algorithms, then calculate the color of your blood and based on that estimate, the amount of oxygen in it.

All of that takes about 15 seconds, and you can do it manually or have the watch do it automatically when you're resting, for example, while you sleep and theoretically, this could be helpful for, for example, sleep, apnea detection and low oxygen levels are also interestingly associated with covet coronavirus illness. So that's something to look into, and since this is apple, I bet there will be some use for it in the future. But right now it just looks like a cool feature that you can just measure and show off. I guess back to our comparison with that other and cheaper wearable. The Apple Watch SC now use doesn't have an always on screen option, which is probably the worst thing about it and that's kind of sad, and it also has a slightly slower processor.

It features the s5 chip, which was the same as the s4 chip, while the series 6 has a brand new and much faster processor. However, to be perfectly honest in the last couple of years, the Apple Watch has gotten so fast. I doubt many people even spot that difference, but it is there so yeah. It's mostly those advanced health features that make the series 6 stand out and the new colors, a blue watch or a red one. Why? The hell not? I salute the new colors, oh, and both the series 6 and the Apple Watch SE have an always-on altimeter, which provides real-time elevation information, accurate down to a foot of measurement cool for mountain climbers.

But what I really heard and understood in this Apple event, for me, was this: we have a new default Apple Watch for people to buy, and it's not the series six. It's the Apple Watch, SE, apart from a few specialized features, some with unclear use, and yes, apart from the sorely missing always on feature, it's got everything most people need in a smartwatch, and it costs less. You can buy the Apple Watch ac at a price starting at just 280 dollars, while the series 6 prices start at 400, oh and no power adapters in the box anymore, that will save waste, and you probably have a couple of those adapters laying at home somewhere find them. The magnetic charger is still included in the box, though, and I find this perfectly reasonable- no reason for words, so there you have them the new apple watches. Are you getting an Apple Watch now that the great one costs less than 300 dollars? And what do you think about smartwatches in general? I'm still not fully convinced.

I need one, but I'm looking forward to your thoughts in the comments below thanks for watching thumbs up. If you enjoyed this subscribes, if you're in the mood for more tech videos, my name is Vic. This is phone arena and I will see you around you.
