Apple Watch Series 6 vs 5: Real Differences after 1 week
Ғылым және технология
I've been using the Apple Watch Series 6 for 1 week and I've found quite a few interesting differences compared to my old Series 5 that Apple didn't mention at their event..

The Apple Watch Series 6 doesn't have very many improvements over the Series 5, but there are some interesting differences that you don't see on the spec sheet.
For example, I have some very interesting findings in terms of the battery life and usability.
I also talk about the performance differences and other things like that.

Have had a series 1 for about 5 years now. Thought it would have broken by now but it’s still chugging, just been wanting an upgrade. Found a series 5 - 44mm cellular in pristine condition at a pawn shop for $200 while the series 6 (same conditions) is $575 at Apple. This video helped me decide to go with the 5! Thank you!
I got my first Apple Watch and It is a Series 6. I love it! I expected to use some functions, but it really exceeded my expectations. I have been moving more and I feel really motivated to fill my rings. Great decission.
Updated from a Series 4 and I ABSOLUTELY love my Series 6. Love both Solo Loop bands. I went 2 sizes down and they fit perfectly. Love the battery life. The AOD is actually pretty much always on the right level of brightness for me, so no complaints on that front. All in all, totally loving the Series 6 and having used 3 Apple Watches prior, I can confidently say this is my favorite Apple Watch by a long shot.
This man has THE best comparisons/reviews on KZread and probably online in general 👌👌👌
I upgraded from a series 1 to a series 6. Massive difference!

This video is really insightful lol. I have the exact same things to say about s6 vs s5 and you hit em all!
I’m getting the new one on my birthday so excited.
I upgraded from a Series 4 and I love it! Before that I had the Series 0 that I used the heck out of it and went to the series 4 for my first upgrade which made the 0 like dinosaur comparatively but I’m totally loving the series 6 🎉 For many of the reasons that you mentioned in your video! Keep up the great work & thank you!
For clarification, are you saying the notification vibrations like the prominent vibration is stronger?
Was this video recorded with the new Sony camera? it looked sharp
Great video, I’m going to pick up the series 5 on the cheap.
I noticed that my series 3 is a little sensitive and lights up at night when I’m driving
I'm considering going to Apple from the Samsung Galaxy Note 8. Having a wearable is important to me so if I do go with iPhone, the Apple watch is a must have for me. Should I spring for the series 6 as my first Apple watch or save a little bit of money and go with the 5?
Thanks for the great vid!
Looking forward to upgrading from my series 3 👌🏼
Yes 👍 another awesome 👏 video Thanks keep the great information coming 😀
If you already have AW5, would you highly recommend upgrading to 6 or save the money and wait for the 7? What would you do?
I just got my SE. I'm loving it!

I went from a series 4 aluminum to a series 6 stainless steel and have been loving the upgrade. I’ve also really enjoyed the always on display. I probably would not have upgraded if I was coming from a series 5.

@@sylviat8461 I have no regrets with the upgrade. I love that the stainless steel looks more like jewelry and the screen doesn’t not seem to scratch as easily as the aluminum version. I’m not seeing any scratches so far. I always had to keep a screen protector on my aluminum version because it scratched so easily.
It's important that if you use the apple sizing guide, that by default chrome prints at lower than 100%, which is the most common issue. Make sure it's at 100% to get a accurate size..

Hi, which one should I go for series 4, 5 or 6? I’m still using series 1. I don’t need it to be super fancy.
Great video. I’m also going to bed with it around 40% I love my series 6, I got the graphite stainless steel n it looks awesome. I was upgrading from the series 0 n it’s really good upgrade. Very happy with my purchase. This thing charges fast aswell
I got the series 6. Batt life about 1.5 - 2 days depending on use. Also the AOD is fine to me once it dims I can still see it clearly
I gotta say I do see a difference between this and my old s5. I am pleased I upgraded
I’m thinking of switching from the 3 to the 5 or 6. I’m not sure which one I should go for.
Thanks the always on information was really useful
thanks! a lovely review
Hey man i still have the Apple Watch series 3 but i was thinking of updating my Apple Watch too the new Apple Watch series 6 in the new Blue Color
Love from Nigeria 🇳🇬
Did you compare it with a new Series 5 (with a fresh battery) or a used one?
Series SE Taptic Engine is the same as series 6?
Don’t forget you’ll see a stainless steel model as more reflective and less bright due to the sapphire compared to the ion x glass lcd on the aluminum.
i think for the money and soo many similar things im getting the 5!
I went from the series 3 to the series 6 massive upgrade for me
Love your finger ring 💍 lol. From where you bought that.
Got my series 6 today great upgrade from series 0 👍 best decision so far
I have series 4 not upgrading until watchOS support stops
how long battery last with display always on with series 6?
I do not know, Series 6 is my first Apple Watch and the always on display seems almost too bright for me and I have the lowest brightness settings. I love the always on display. Battery life is much better than I have expected. Always on altimeter is something nice to have when you are hiking, or training for that elevation gain, but, I do not think it is in any way essential. The feature I am most disappointed with is the handwashing timer, it does not work at all for me, it turns on for other activities, like putting items I bought into a plastic bag, or doing dishes (I can understand the latter one). But it does not trigger for handwashing every time and even when it does, it ignores certain movements and the timer just freezes.
Really happy with the series 6 after giving up my Garmin Fenix 5 (missed the notifications and I like being able to quickly reply if I'm at work and cant quickly get to my mobile) the battery life has been great and I simply top it up on a morning before heading off to work. Hope Apple add more info to the Sleep tracking function but I'm happy even if they don't. Stay safe everyone, best wishes P.

I have the series 4 stainless. I end my day with 50% battery every night. My battery health is 94% after 2 years so maybe I got lucky with a better than average battery. I payed $749.00 so will wait for a more significant upgrade. The series 6 does look great just not good enough to pull the trigger! Great video on an important topic!

Same. I have the aluminum series 4 and a 92% battery health after 2 years. I usually end the day with more than 50% battery and can easily get through 2 days with my usage. The only thing I wish is that I had the Nike edition. Other than that, I’ll hold off until the 7.

Agreed, like all people commenting here, I have the series 4 and can easily get 2 days... I guess it would be worth an upgrade to the 6 if it reached 3-4 days with AOD off. I don´t really care much for it because raise to wake just works so well.

Cool review, still think this generation is a tiny iteration, Apple needs to step up the game and come up with something that does provide a reasonable battery life, like 4-5 days on a charge at least. Have you tested what battery life is on the series 6 with AOD off?

I am seriously impressed this guy ends the day with 10% battery. What do you do on your watch to drain it that much? Are you streaming video to that tiny screen or what? With my Series 5 watch I end the day on about 45% with always on display on. It's crazy to me you can drain it that much!
Do you have the oximetry app on your IOS 14.2 beta 1. It appears oximetry does not work on the better version of IOS 14. Please if anyone has this issue let me know. My iPhone runs IOS 14.2 beta 1 and unfortunately my Apple Watch series 6 cannot use the oximeter because according to apple support the oximetry may not work with the beta version.
Agreed with the red band color not matching. If only they made the band a richer darker red. Still love and so happy I decided to go with product red 😍

Compare SE and Series 5 on the basis of battery life, haptic .... little confused..
I got a series 6. It’s my first Apple Watch. I love it.
Basically it depends on your situation, opinion, money (including quality), financial situation, if you have a watch, and etc. By the time the series 6 is on sale, you’ll never know when the series 7 is out. My opinion: wait until you find your suitable watch and don’t buy tech too early. You never know if the best watch you want could POSSIBLY be what you need. The answer is just like answering an exam question by observing, comparing and making the best choice (or a perfect answer like how it would be in an exam).
You should compare it to the galaxy watches
I held off on the S5 because of all the reports of underwhelming battery. Always On screen is a game changer for a lifelong watch wearer like me but didn’t want to give up the great battery life from my S3.
What MM is the gold one on your wrist?
I bought my first Apple Watch a few weeks ago. I got the red one. It was stunning. I had complete price guilt as I was mainly using it for the fitness tracking so I returned it. I just picked up a series 5 on eBay for half the cost of the 6. Whenever the series 7 come out - if it’s a dramatic difference from the 6 i can upgrade at that point. 🤷🏼♀️

I just ordered a series 6. Battery life might be good for me because I prob won’t use it to do much other than the basic notifications for apps that I use. Will look and turn off any settings that I don’t need turned on. One guy review that he got 5 days and something hours for not really using it but for the basic things. Then he used it for many things and got like a day or something like that. I think I’ll be happy with it.
I was thinking of upgrading from my series 5 but it’s not worth it. So It’s a no for me this year 😂
I jumped from Series 1 38mm to Series 6 44m, and 1.) I've never had Blood Oxygen fail, and I'm pretty impressed with frequency it happens in background. I was expecting only a couple times a day. 2.) I'm actually unhappy with how unresponsive it is to wrist movements compares to Series 1. If I'm in bed it is an exercise to get it on without tapping. When not, it is what i should be. But it is a notch below in responsiveness for me.
Does he have the 40mm or 44mm one?
Series 5 or SE? Same price. 44mm. Which one would you recommend me?

I upgraded from the series 5 titanium to the series 6 titanium - Pros - Battery life, Much faster charging, oxygen sensor - Titanium is much lighter and tougher with the mineral glass screen (this model does come with the power brick - I don’t use it) - FYI my size on the paper guide was an exact 8 and the black solo loop band (Non Braided - it would have been 45 days to get the braided) is a great fit you almost forget you are wearing it. I thought it would feel sweaty - I normally was using the velcro band. - Cons cost $850 a year later, but I gave my 5 to my wife.
would you go with the Series 5 Stainless Steel or Series 6 Alumimium? They similar prices.

I will be upgrading to the Apple Watch Series 6 for a reason that you didn’t mention. If you use the Apple Watch for cell phone calls, as I do, the increased battery life will help a lot ! All I have to say to those people who don’t think they need cell phone service on their wrist is “try it, you will wonder how you ever did without it”.
If I have a cellular Apple Watch but without any carrier plans, what advantages I may have vs the GPS series 6? for example SOS 🆘 regional Alerts ? 911 SOS ? Better accuracy in location ? Locating lost Apple Watch ? I would appreciate a thorough explanation and experiment.

I upgraded from S3 to a used stainless steel S5 that I got for $360. Easy decision over the S6. If I need a blood oxygen reading Ill buy a $25 finger sensor on Amazon and it will be more accurate anyway
The biggest difference for me is the battery life. I charge my S5 before I sleep (20%) around 10PM but with S6 I can still use it until 7AM with 30% battery
I love the series 6 it’s the best watch Apple has made thus far if your a tech geek you’ll get it
