Will the watch automatically track sleep even if I don’t turn on the “sleep mode”? Like in Fitbit, when you sleep, it automatically tracks the data. Of course, my Apple Watch battery was in the 80-90% range. Any thoughts will be appreciated.

From what I'm seeing the blood oxygen sensor can work better if you remove the watch and use it on your finger tip, much like a normal pulse ox. Possibly useful to have a pulse ox on us at all times during this covid pandemic/flu season for better outpatient monitoring.

I really liked your review - one of the best I’ve seen. I’ve never bought an Apple Watch and thinking of making this my first. I was also considering the polar vantage v2. Do you have any perspective on the two from a fitness to fitness watch comparison?

Regarding heart rate, using the supplied Outdoor Walk app I’ve found the reported heart rate can be off as much as 40 bpm compared to the Heart Rate app or the third part Cardio app. If in the middle of the walk I use the Heart Rate app to check, the Outdoor Walk app immediately switched its reported bpm to match. The Outdoor Walk app also just blanks out at times and does not report bpm at all.

I returned my series 6, cause I have tattoos on my wrists, and they interfere with wrist detection. My workouts pause, no stand time or notifications. I went back to my series 5. The LED setup on the 6, is totally different than on the 5.

great video!!

Can you make a video to compare fitness apps on watch 6. Difference between Polar Beat v Strava apps. Also using chest strap vs wrist sensor for the apps and how to pair it with your watch and which is most accurate.

Such a great review! Your reviews helped me decide between an Apple Watch and Garmin Venu. (AW won, but only because I could start leaving my phone at home now.) With so many devices on each and every workout you do, how on earth do you track your own personal fitness in the flood of data? Do you have one set of devices and apps that are your fitness trackers, and everything else is just kept separate so it doesn't look like you worked out for 6x as long as you actually did that day? Which devices and apps are your primary for tracking personal fitness?

Great review. Thank you

I haven’t, but maybe I’ll look into that in Dec. Thanks!

realistically, how accurate are the fitness trackers in giving you data on REM, deep and light sleep? without polysomnography, what's the point of having all these numbers provided to you?

Thanks for this great review! Thoughts on switching from a Garmin fenix 5X to an Apple Watch Series 6. My Garmin has been acting up (battery life, charging, saving runs consistently) so I am now looking at options for a replacement. I do mostly outdoor running (street and trail) and maybe some indoor biking if I get a Peloton bike in 2021. I am heavy in the Apple eco-system, so that is the reason I am considering an Apple Watch.

Help me, in term of accuracy heart rate and features, which one best for swimming? Garmin venue / sq or iwatch se

Did you use Strava on your watch to test the GPS?

Do you think the apple watch series 6 is a better running watch than the Garmin 245 music??

great review as always des :)

Hey Des! Just discovered your channel last night when searching for info on the Apple Watch series 6 vs Garmin Fenix 6s Pro. Your reviews were so educational & helpful but I’m still totally torn! I run, do HIIT workouts, hike & once travel restrictions lift later this year hope to do some more multi day hikes. The Garmin appeals for the ruggedness, battery life & because it’s geared towards outdoorsy activities. But the Apple appeals as I am already very much in the Apple ecosystem & it looks more intuitive & easy to use interface. And I’ve discovered the Apple can also be used for hiking/nav with 3rd party apps. Any input/advice? (also worth mentioning I can get 20% off the Fenix 6s Pro here in the UK as I am currently a student nurse)

Not sure if it’s just me having this strange issue. Whenever I start my run, after 2-5 mins the HR greys out for few minutes and then it constantly measures the HR throughout my run. I’m using AW6. I read on few forums that HR greys out when the watch is unable to detect the HR but in my case, first it detects, then greys out and then starts detecting again!

Great review!

Could you comment on how to link these product with Garmin Connect and/or Strava?

I have a question. How to compare GPS tracking multiple devices on the same screen? Is there an app or a website for that? And how to export GPS data from apple watch? I'm using aw s5, and it doesn't track my route; it just shows my starting point on the map. What is the solution for that?

Nice review! One question: Would apple watch work with polar or garmin apps? I would rather stock my data with either one of these. I'm really considering getting the series6. My old setup has been Suunto (for 15 years) for everything. Now I got Garmin edge 1030 for cycling, and I'm using polar HR sensor with it on the road, and polar flow app for other sports.

I did it! I haven’t used it yet but I am soooo impressed with Apple’s packaging. So detailed!!

I loved this review, but I wish you would have went into actual energy expenditure accuracy

I am considering pairing my new iPhone SE 2020 with an Apple Watch Series 6 or an Apple Watch SE 2020. I'm just wondering if the Walking fitness app has a similar live steps-per-minute (SPM) cadence (pace) readout that my old Amazfit Pace fitness watch have. I use this feature to monitor my brisk walking pace if it matches with the beats-per-minute (BPM) music I listen to on my on-ear Bluetooth music player. I’ve been to several KZread videos on Apple watch fitness app and I have not determined if it has this live SPM readout. All, however, have average cadence shown in strides in the fitness app summary after end of workout.

As a whole product, smartwatch and fitness/sports device, would you say that the series 6 is the best option out there in terms of value for the money (in comparison to other brands products)? Btw great in depth review, got youself a new subscriber!

this is so detailed lol how long did this take to make. props bro

What would you recommend, I want to buy some good android smart watch which I can pair with chest belt. Is there something on the market?

Great review! I a facing some issues with the heart rate tracking on the Series 6: It only starts tracking while running after approx. 500-800 m as where my Garmin Fenix 6 Pro is spot on. Further, there is a distance issue between the 2 devices, where the Series 6 is showing approx. 3-5% more distance than the Garmin Fenix pro X. Anyone familiar with this problem?

Do you have a review on the Pool swim accuracy? My AW6 Is awfully off during pool swims. So frustrating.

I'm still curious to hear someone speak of how it would do for example tracking steps for tennis?

I am looking at purchasing an Apple Watch. One key feature for me is having a watch that provides real-time pace alerts to keep me on track for my goal pace. I understand series 5 (watch OS5) has this, has this feature been kept on the further upgrades? I can not find anything online, all the information I find is it is only available on watch OS5. Also, is this feature constantly reading your pace and if out will notify you in real time as opposed to every mile/km? Thanks in advance

Thx for this review. I‘m not sure if I should buy an Apple Watch SE or a Series 6. DC Rainmaker mentions some mariocarting in his reviews that occurs still with SE but not with the AW 6. So I’m looking forward to watch your next video for the Apple Watch SE. If the AW6 has a better sensor system than the SE it is a big point to invest more money for the AW6.
