 Watch Series 6

[swgj86]

For me personally I won’t go beyond aluminium models even though I know the stainless steel quite chio.

Every 3-4 years upgrade is kinda of Xiong for ss. Plus I exercise a lot. Trg with a ss model seems a bit too fanciful. Lol. Personal take la. No offense to those using SS.

same here, not that enticing to change to series 6.

need to top up alot since i always go for the SS models and they removed space black so my space black link bracelet dk how to match now.

Ahh thanks for the quick take on the S6. Guess I will skip this year since S4 is still doing well for me.

The watch is very speedy! It’s definitely faster than my Series 5 and though watchOS 7 improved the response speed, it’s definitely faster on the Series 6 and response seems nearly instant.

Just now just tried using the blood oxygen feature and mine’s 99%. When this was activated, I just checked the LEDs behind and actually seems like red and green light up together. The elevation part of the complication is actually based on the compass.

Apart from these, the feel is exactly the same when wearing my Series 5 and improvements are all internal. Setting it up is also fast and easy as I restore from my backup, takes less than half an hr.

So far very satisfied but the improvements are not monumental comparing to Series 5.

Blue is the most chio imo so far.... or maybe the red which seems really red..... stainless steel’s great but abit heavier and of cos 40% more expensive

I also getting blue but then I will wait till the iPhone 12 Pro Max out first

My devices still at iOS 13.7 so now but also pointless

From main watch face, swipe up from bottom.

I noticed that when I swiped up, there’s so many other icons !

How to i configure to put what icons in there & how do i find out what each icon means ?

Thanks for educating me.

Cheers

No problem, it's an individual choice.

Thanks Pet Pet. This is bery useful

But it says that those with gps+cellular unit, there will be a “....” in green to indicate the strength of the cellular network. Mine is a cellular unit but it doesn’t show any dots at all leh ...

Thanks

Yeah. Paper printout says 6. And I use measuring tape 16.5cm, give me size 7 on their website.

Went down to try just now. 6 is slipping a bit on my wrist , 5 is just nice for me. No good man their system.

is it worth to get the apple care for the watch ?

Definitely if you wear your watch everyday and do active workouts. I'd smashed my series 5 last year and Apple replaced the watch. Had to pay a sum, think it was under $100. Without Apple Care plus, I would have had to pay close to $600.

I also added AppleCare.
That’s the “problem” with Apple.

Currently on Samsung Gear Sport. I really love it.

Structurally damn solid. Took a lot of knocks, no problem.
Display also decently big enough.

Now battery very weak le.

Plus got the Lumi health program coming.

I wait so many years, and finally I think the SE is good enough for me give Apple money again.

Additional $69 on the way once I confirm the size.

Same mine measured using their printout is 7, go try actual strap is 5

Need a bit of help here. My ECG now can't start up on my Series 6, previously was fine on Series 5.

Here's the story. On the watch it says to set up ECG, open the Health app on your iPhone. In my phone's Health app, I had some ECG data from my Series 5 which I deleted as wanted to start fresh with Series 6. In the summary, it also states my ECG is enabled on my Series 6 which is strange, since the watch says to open up Health app on phone.

I thought my Series 6 had some issue with the ECG so I unpaired it and re-paired it, restoring from backup, didn't work. I did a second time, this time setting up as a new watch, also didn't work.

In the Health app on iPhone, I went to browse, under ECG, all those stats shown under 'More' is all 0 as I erased my Series 5's history. But scrolling down, I tapped on 'Data Sources & Access', all fields are 'None' including data sources.

Any solution?
