 Watch Series 6

[bluegt]

Here are the major changes from Series 5 > Series 6.

- Faster S6 Processor
- 5Ghz Wifi
- U1 Ultra Wideband Chip
- Faster Charging

- Blood Oxygen Sensor
- Always on Altimeter

- Brighter Always On Display
- New Case Colors

Most annual technology changes are not revolutionary, but this update should improve the general experience.

Series 4 and 5 used a SoC based on the Apple A12 (iPhone XS). The Series 6 SoC is based on the Apple A13 (iPhone 11) so there will be a performance jump vs. the Series 4 and 5.

How is gold stainless steel vs titanium? I worry about scratches but the gold stainless steel quite unique

Deciding between Graphite Stainless steel and Space Black Titanium. Guess have to wait for actual photos on how graphite stainless steel look like.

Gold and graphite stainless steel confirm very difficult to polish

U1 UWB is very important for Airtags. Those who intend to get Airtags, Series 6 is the way to go.

i just feel stainless steel is heavy, but very premium. more suitable for office wear than sports

If you want the AOD and pulse oximeter, go ahead. I'm buying for sure.

I was disappointed they discontinued the ceramic edition, was looking forward to get that.

How do you book a slot to go MBS? It’s always full... happened to know what time they release the slots?

No it isn't. Comparing to Series 4 and 5, the batt difference is pretty similar. The Series 5 can easily get me through the day.

thin depends on how early you go queue?

I didn't book online. I arrived there around 1:20pm and asked for a walk-in. The staff there told me earliest slot they have was 2:45pm, so the staff on the spot made a reservation for me and sent me a confirmation e-mail. I just walked around MBS then went for lunch so just nice.

Everyone have a specialist attached to you and he/she will walk you around the place, introducing the unique areas of the store and simply chit-chatting with you. Apple being Apple, top notch service and experience that's hard to be matched.

Yes.......
