In other news, I was really out of breath at the top. I have only used this briefly but I can confirm that when I climbed from the entrance of my building to the top floor, it clicked up the elevation happily. If you need to know your elevation, you can look in the Compass app to find it and there’s a dedicated Watch face, too. This always-on altimeter is new to this year’s Watches. Who knows? Apple is not placing this as a medical feature, but in times when Covid is around, it’s useful to have extra information easily available. Maybe this means the sensor is better here. Other devices such as the Huawei smartwatches that do this trick, take much longer about it and this was easily the most consistent in terms of delivering a result rather than an inconclusive reading. There’s a gorgeous animation that occupies your mind and is oddly calming. Tap the button and sit quietly for 15 seconds. On launch it shows you your previous reading and when it was taken (mine came up as four days before I got the Watch because a measurement from the excellent Withings ScanWatch was in my iPhone Health records. You can’t, I’ve discovered, do this while typing a First-Look review, for instance. The first time you use it there are helpful instructions so you can get a good reading. Which means that I can’t tell you about the accuracy of this sensor. ![]() Of course, I’m not a doctor, much to my parents’ disappointment, but there we are. Thing is, it only does this for editing Watch faces, as other things like checking the weekly summary have been moved to other parts of the interface.īut, seeing as it works completely convincingly without the use of a Force Touch sensor, can I have this faux Force Touch back throughout the interface, please, Apple?īlood oxygen monitoring on Apple Watch Series 6. And it worked! Actually, what was happening was the Watch recognized a long-press and by delivering the same haptic response as before it felt exactly, I mean, exactly as it did before. When I was wanting to edit a Watch face on Series 6, I did the same as ever, pressing firmly on the display. It’s not used in watchOS 7 so it’s now gone from my Series 5 Watch, too. Press hard to show your weekly summary in Workout, or to activate the Watch face editing face. This new feature fixes that and while the same things happen (well, even an animate mouse needs some moments of repose, surely?) the level to which it dims is reduced, so it’s dimmer than when it’s active but brighter than Series 5. On Series 5, that mode is noticeably dimmer, which is fine unless you’re in a meeting, trying to sneak a look at the time without the boss seeing and it’s not quite bright enough to be read easily. ![]() That mode is where the second-hand fades out and Mickey’s tootsies stop tapping, for instance. What I mean is it now offers a greater brightness when it’s switched to the inactive mode it lives in when your wrist is by your side.

This means it's an expensive material and it translates to the price of the final product. Titanium is hard to manufacture and process, mainly due to its hardness. There’s a price to be paid for all these great features, though. When you look at the weight of all three versions, the titanium slots right between the aluminum and stainless steel. Just like the stainless steel version, the Apple Watch 6 Titanium Edition features a sapphire crystal display, making it the most durable option of the three (Apple Watch 6 aluminum features a Ion-X glass display). It’s less prone to chipping and scratching, it won’t oxidize and corrode from sweat, it won’t cause rashes if you have sensitive skin or skin allergies, and it’s very lightweight. It has been used as such for many decades and it’s naturally a great choice for the Apple Watch 6 too. All the aforementioned properties make titanium a great material for watch cases.
