Apple Watch can do what your other devices can't because it's on your wrist. When you wear it, you get a fitness partner that measures all the ways you move, meaningful health insights, and a connection to the people and things you care about most. And it's always just a glance away.

Your blood oxygen level is a key indicator of your overall wellness. It can help you understand how well your body is absorbing oxygen, and the amount of oxygen delivered to your body. The remarkable new sensor and app in Apple Watch Series 6 allow you to take on-demand readings of your blood oxygen as well as background readings, day and night.

The Always-On Retina display is now significantly brighter outdoors when your wrist is down. So you can see all the information on your watch face more easily than ever — without having to raise your wrist to wake your watch. Swipe down for Notification Center, swipe up for Control Center, or tap complications in the wrist‑down state. No need to wake your watch for simple interactions when you’re in a meeting or otherwise occupied.

Getting the right amount of sleep is important for good health. The new Sleep app helps you establish a regular bedtime routine and keep track of your sleep trends night after night. So you can set and achieve your personal sleep goals.

The Always-On Retina display is now 2.5 times brighter outdoors when your wrist is down. So even while exercising in bright sun, you can easily see your metrics without raising your wrist. Or breaking your stride.

For more precise metrics as you move, the new always-on altimeter continuously tracks your elevation changes in real time, indoors and out. Whether you’re hiking up a trail or bombing down a ski run.

With the ECG app, Apple Watch Series 6 is capable of generating an ECG similar to a single-lead electrocardiogram.¹ It’s a momentous achievement for a wearable device that can provide critical data for doctors and peace of mind for you.

Electrodes built into the Digital Crown and the back crystal work together with the ECG app to read your heart’s electrical signals. Simply touch the Digital Crown to generate an ECG waveform in just 30 seconds. The ECG app can indicate whether your heart rhythm shows signs of atrial fibrillation — a serious form of irregular heart rhythm — or sinus rhythm, which means your heart is beating in a normal pattern.

Unusually high or low heart rates and irregular heart rhythms (known as arrhythmias) could be signs of a serious condition. But many people don't recognize the symptoms, so the underlying causes often go undiagnosed. Notifications in the Heart Rate app will alert you to these irregularities so you can take action and consult your doctor.

Ever lost your phone while knowing it’s probably only 10 feet away? Tap the Ping iPhone button and follow the sound, or touch and hold the button to flash the light on your iPhone. There it is, next to the pillow.

Apple Watch Series 6 keeps the people and things you care about right there with you, no matter where life takes you. And with available cellular, you can stay connected even when you don’t have your phone.

With Family Setup, you can use your iPhone to pair watches for your children or older adults who don’t have their own iPhone. So everyone can stay in touch by phone, text message, or Walkie-Talkie. They can also do things like play music, find apps, and close their Activity rings. It’s more independence for them, and you have the comfort of knowing they’re just a call away.
