I've spent six months wearing Apple Watch Series6 almost every day. Whether I'm working out, cooking, commuting or catching a zzz, you usually find the product Red smartwatch fixed on my wrist

As the best smartwatch you can buy, the Apple Watch6 gets a lot right. In addition to accurate fitness tracking and seamless integration with other Apple products, including my iPhone12Pro Max, it's bright and always on display. Faster charging actually makes a difference, while battery life still pales in comparison to some competing smartwatches.

Recently, a friend asked me if I should get an Apple Watch6, and I used mine long enough to provide insight into this投資399 investment.My thoughts haven't changed much since my Apple Watch6 a month later review, but I think it's better to use a smartwatch now than when I first started using it. There's a reason I'm starting to get excited about throwing it away for the Apple Watch7 too.

Here's what I think about Apple Watch6 after 6 months.

I recently moved to New York City, where bicycles are a very practical mode of transportation. I don't have my own bike, so I learned how to navigate the infamous CitiBike bike sharing system. But I'm not sure I'll feel comfortable two-wheeled around Manhattan without my Apple Watch6 and watchOS7.

In addition to tracking ride times, calories burned, and heart rate with workout apps, the native Apple Maps app is also a must for cycling directions. Usually I don't know where to go and my Iphone is safely kept out of reach. I rely on turn-by-turn directions and tactile cues in the Apple Watch6's cycling navigation to make sure I get to my destination. In the Apple Maps vs. Google Maps battle, this is one example of Apple winning: 1.

Customizable notifications are an Apple Watch feature that I recently started using. Until a few weeks ago, I was shocked by the mirrored notifications from every single app on my iPhone. I finally decided to switch off the service notification that I do not need updates from my wrist.

If you haven't done it yet, think of this as a sign to curate Apple Watch notifications. If you plan to purchase Apple Watch Series6 (or Apple Watch SE, or Apple Watch3), customize your notification settings during the setup process.

A few months I used it, the smartwatch would last 24 hours. Now, it seems that my wearable needs juice every 20 hours, which is better than Apple's 18-hour estimate, but charges at the same time every day.

Anything that can cause this. First, I do more work than I did six months ago. I also switched my charging source several times. Plus batteries are not designed to last forever, they can be worse. I hope this trend doesn't continue, as we've seen happening with aging iPhones.

I despised the solo loop band at first, and the hoop that had to jump to find the right size when the Apple Watch6 was launched and many Apple stores closed to shoppers. The one I had ordered online with printable measuring tape didn't fit properly, and I didn't like the feeling of pulling the watch over my hand instead of clenching it around my wrist.

Then I got a braided solo loop at my size, and I liked it for a while. But after six months, the fabric of the band is discolored and slightly stretched. Theバ99 band no longer feels comfortable. Since then, I switched the silicone49 silicone solo loop and think it's a better choice, especially for anyone who's active. Of course, you can always get the best Apple Watch band.

Other than for work purposes (such as when I wrote a guide to how to use the Apple Watch6Blood Oxygen app or when I tested Spo2 readings with other smartwatches), blood oxygen readings I don't think blood oxygen sensors have a huge appeal unless you find yourself frequently needing to know your body's oxygen saturation.

Still, I hope Apple will have a new health sensor for the Apple Watch7. According to rumors, monitoring of blood sugar levels is taking place, which can bring significant benefits to people with diabetes. I'm not sure if that just needs to justify the upgrade. Meanwhile, FDA-approved blood pressure monitoring will absolutely enhance the role of the Apple Watch as a medical device.
