Apple Watch Series 6

So disappointing – We spent over $700 on a watch, expecting it to last a long time. Unfortunately, it only lasted 2.5 years before overheating and stopping altogether. Apple won't assist us because it's 6 months out of warranty. They offered to repair it for over $500, which is simply outrageous. So, we spent over $700 on a watch that barely lasted 2 years. Now, I don't have a watch because we can't afford to buy a new one or fix this one. We're so disappointed." Show details

Stay away from the black sport band – Happy with the watch itself is great, specially with iPhone unlock while wearing a mask, and Apple Pay feature. However, stay away from the black sport band as the button will cause skin irritation / rash after 10months. Clearly some coating fails, exposing some toxic material in the watch band button. Apple will dismiss a claim for the band and… Read more

say it is worn too tightly, ignored the fact that I have no issues with the aluminum band from my old Apple Watch.

Loved the new features – Just got the series 6 delivered today, much easier to order online with Apple then other outlets, most either don’t have the size or colour or watch altogether. The watch came via TNT express and it was very well package, tracking was very easy with Apple and the communication is top notch. I did not find the cellular a useful function as the… Read more

quality of the call on Series 3 was average and so only got the GPS. I ordered the Nike series 40mmm aluminium, loved black sport band. One problem I found was both of S/M and the M/L did not fit well on my wrist.

Pairing the series 6 was much more faster then my series 3 and the latest update IOS was significantly faster. The watch come with 50% pre charge.

Loved the new added complications to the watch e.g oxygen, various weather functions, sound meter, altimeter.

The new faces also much more better then previous series e.g Pro Chrono, GMT. One of the function I enjoyed is the fact the screen stay on, a welcome change. Plus one can add 8 different complications on one face.

Purchased of the watch entitled to free online session with Apple, plus 3 months free subscription to Nike Fitness.

So far on the first day of wearing I really like it, only downfall was they taken the Usb power unit from the package.

Nice watch but is it worth the price? – I bought an Apple watch series 6 (Cellular, Large Aluminium Blue Case, Blue Loop Silicone Band) a few days after its release. My previous watch was a Xiaomi Mi Band 4. I never owned an Apple Watch before. I am taking up running, cycling and I climb twice a week both indoors and outdoors. I thought I'd give the Apple Watch a shot, mainly to make… Read more

up for the the inconvenience of carrying a phone while exercising outdoors.

First impressions: - I'm disappointed with the new Blood Oxygen Level measurement. It rarely works. You have to stay still for at least 15 seconds. Expect 3 attempts before seeing any results. If you were planning to use this feature while walking, running, swimming or biking, forget about it. - There aren't that many apps - I personally realised I don't really enjoy spending much time on the watch anyway. I'm getting neck pain and it's not really comfortable. - The watch is so expensive I don't want to go rock climbing with it to avoid any possible scratches. I'll probably end up doing it in a few weeks. I never had this dilemma with my previous Xiaomi watch. - It's annoying to have to charge it every one or two days, another reason to switch to Xiaomi which can run for weeks. - The bands are extremely expensive. To put it in perspective, it's more expensive than my previous watch. I like the loop system though. - You really have to manage your notification settings properly. It quickly gets overwhelming to receive all those notifications from your wrist - more than getting them from your phone.

The main features I'm looking forward to test are the ability to stream music, use the GPS, call/receive calls using the watch while running. Unfortunately, my mobile plan (Amaysim) does not support the Apple Watch. I knew this before my purchase but I didn't get the chance to switch to a different phone carrier yet. I will make sure to keep you guys updated!

Overall I would discourage anyone buying the Apple Watch without the Cellular option and I would instead strongly recommend buying the new Xiaomi Mi Band 5 which is way cheaper and probably covers most people's needs. Apple Watch with Cellular however provides the option of leaving your phone at home while still listening to music and receiving notifications when exercising something that Mi Band cannot do.

FIRST UPDATE - 30/10/2020: I'm not sure how but I managed to scratch it pretty badly. I tried to "remove" the scratches by rubbing toothpaste (abrasive) against the screen. I don't think it worked.

I decided to buy a pack of three "JETech Screen Protector for Apple Watch" from Amazon. I'm not especially recommending this product - you might find something cheaper. It's definitely not easy to apply on the screen but it's worth it. Once again, reading the manual would have been a smart idea. I haven't done a great job, you can notice some tiny pocket of air but I'm the one to blame.

Applying the film protector, on top of protecting the screen, definitely did a better job at hiding scratches than toothpaste (who would have thought?).
