Apple has announced their latest Apple Watch in the form of Series 6. As per the rumors, it seems that Apple has not updated the design of the Apple Watch, but it seems that the selling point of the Series 6 would be the introduction of a blood oxygen monitor that helps you keep track of your respiratory health.
For those wondering about the importance of blood oxygen levels, like we said, it is an indicator of your overall respiratory health where depending on the levels, it can tell whether or not your body is getting enough oxygen, and how well that oxygen is distributed throughout your body. In fact, Apple has also announced that they will be partnering with various health organizations to study the benefits of early detection of potential blood oxygen level issues.
In addition to the blood oxygen monitoring feature, the Series 6 will also feature an upgrade to its always-on display, where it will be 2.5 times brighter than its predecessor. There will also be an always-on altimeter for those who want to measure their elevation levels. Under the hood, the Series 6 will be powered by an Apple Silicon which is based on the A13 Bionic chipset where Apple claims it will be twice as fast as its predecessor.
The Apple Watch Series 6 will be priced starting at $399 and will be available in several different finishes. This includes a brand new blue aluminum case, a PRODUCT(RED) finish, as well as gold stainless steel, and black stainless steel that Apple is calling Graphite. There will also be the introduction of a new band called the Solo Loop. This is made from liquid silicone and has been designed to be stretchable and will not require a buckle or a clasp.

The Apple Watch is not exactly cheap, and we have been hearing rumors that Apple could actually be planning a new and more affordable Apple Watch. It turns out that the rumors were partially right as Apple has since officially announced the Apple Watch SE, which sits between the Series 3 and the Series 6.
According to Apple, the Apple Watch SE will feature a chipset that will make it 2.5 times faster than the Series 3. It will also sport the same larger display as the newer Apple Watch models, and will come with a host of fitness related features that we’ve come to expect from a smartwatch.
Unfortunately, and not surprisingly, there is no inclusion of the ECG monitoring feature nor is there the new blood oxygen monitor, which we guess is fair if Apple wants to keep its prices down. What’s interesting is that we had previously heard that Apple could actually replace the Series 3 with the Apple Watch SE, but that did not happen.
Apple will be keeping the Series 3 around where it will be priced at $199, but if you wanted a larger display and faster performance, then the Apple Watch SE could be the smartwatch for you where it will be priced starting at $279. It will also be available for financing using the Apple Card.

It has been rumored that Apple has been planning to launch a fitness subscription service. It seems that the rumors were right on the money as Apple has since officially announced Apple Fitness+. This is a fitness video training subscription service that Apple claims will introduce new workout videos every week.
Apple Fitness+ has also been designed to work with the Apple Watch, where when you start a workout video, it will sync with your Apple Watch where you’ll be able to check your health stats on the screen, like heart rate and so on. For example, during a fitness video, the trainer might ask you to check your heart rate, and the heart rate text on your screen will get bigger to highlight it.
It will be available on the iPhone and iPad, which according to Apple will make it easier for users to workout on the go, where as long as they have their iPhone and Apple Watch with them, they’ll be able to essentially workout just about anywhere. There will be a variety of fitness programs that are part of the service, so there should be something for everyone.
The new Apple Fitness+ service can be found in the Fitness app on the iPhone and iPad. It is priced at $9.99 a month, or $79.99 a year, making it a lot cheaper than a gym membership or hiring a personal trainer. New Apple Watch customers will also be getting a free 3 month trial.
