We already have with us the new Apple smartwatches and, as rumors predicted a few days before the official announcement, the firm's catalog is more extensive than ever. The flagship of the new generation of smartwatches from Cupertino is the Apple Watch Series 6. Still, with it, the Apple Watch SE was also presented, an alternative not as ambitious as its older brother, but which stands out for its value for money.
In addition, it is still possible to acquire the Apple Watch Series 3, a device that was launched on the market at the end of 2017 and that remains with the label of low cost.
Apple Watch bands are always in demand, and with more options to choose from, some users may feel confused or need help choosing the correct model that meets all their needs.
Let us try to clarify which Apple Watch to choose by focusing on its features and functions and the aspects that differentiate them.
The Apple Watch Series 6 is one of Apple's new smartwatches. Its physical appearance is quite similar to that of Series 4, which had amazing features such as fall detection and ECG to perform electrocardiograms.
However, there are changes in terms of colors because now users can purchase it with the box finished in blue or red. Along with this model, new straps/bracelets are also marketed, highlighting those with "infinite loop" made of silicone and braided nylon, which do not have pins, buckles, or snaps for their adjustments.
This device incorporates a new blood oxygen sensor against four LED sets and four photodiodes integrated into the back glass of the watch, which works together with the Blood Oxygen app to determine saturation.
Another unique feature of the software is that it is able to record and analyze the sleep pattern of an individual. With solid data at hand, a person is facilitated to solve his sleep problems.
Another innovation is that the Retina screen is now 2.5 times brighter, quite useful for viewing data and information outdoors when in bright sunlight.
The Apple S6 processor, in addition to providing more power, includes some other improvements in terms of connectivity, such as compatibility with 5GHz Wi-Fi wireless networks, which are more powerful and transmit information more quickly.
There are several versions of the Apple Watch Series 6 available depending on the manufacturing materials and connectivity.
The other apple smartwatch presented a few days ago at the company's event is the Apple Watch SE, a special edition whose main charm is the value for money, arguably the tightest ever.
The Apple Watch SE shares the design of Series 4, 5, and 6, so differentiating them is difficult unless you pay attention to other details.
The critical differences are inside, as it incorporates the Apple S5 processor, so in form factor, it is an Apple Watch Series 5, but with some concessions. This model dispenses with the always-on display function and also the ECG to perform electrocardiograms.
Although they are two interesting features, not all users see them as valuable, and that they are not available in the Apple Watch SE has lowered their price considerably.
It also does not have blood oxygen measurement, but it does have the always-on altimeter to improve the accuracy of particular sports activities.
