hey guys it's max we just got in the brand new apple watch series
six and today we're gonna be comparing it to my series five
there are a lot of similarities but there also are some different so we're
gonna point out all of those to you guys a couple things i'm really excited about
testing out such as the brightness difference and the always on display
but let's go ahead and jump right into it and get this
opened up i did get the one that has the new red color so that's one of the
differences we have new color options there's also a blue
and then there's a titanium a dark one as you guys could see
right here it's always really cool to see how it's clean on the outside and
they add color and some design elements on the inside i
did order the new braided solo loop in charcoal and fedex is supposed to
deliver today with the watch but it's not here
so i'm excited to check that out and i'm going to do a little review video on
that so make sure you guys are subscribed
let's pop this open so it does come with a charging cable
but we do not have a power brick which is why
this is so slim now here's something very interesting for you guys
i have my previous apple watch boxes and apple has made a lot of changes over
the years so let me grab my series 5 which is
right there it's the same width but you guys can see
how much slimmer the new one is because they're not including that usb
charger you guys let me know what do you think about that
and this is my original apple watch this is the cheap version back there
look how much bigger this is and the box is just so much nicer from before
even with the cheap sport models they also gave us this nice
plastic hard case and then you open that up and there's a soft material over here
and then like the whole box on the inside that holds everything is just way
heavier and nicer it's kind of a shame that now if you're
buying a more expensive watch the packaging is just a lot worse
they're just trying to cut costs that's my opinion
let's go ahead and take it out here let's
pop this and i love red it's my favorite color
so i'm excited to see this red one i've bought gold the last few years
come on this thing is cardboard now or paper instead of being a soft material
like my other ones so here we have it it looks nice looks like a nice aluminum
red i also pulled the straps out here this is very interesting the straps
don't look as deep and rich of a red as i expect they
don't really match up to the watch i'm guessing this is
probably on purpose but it's a little too light for my
liking i mean obviously it's not pink but it's closer on the pinker side
than i would want so i can't wait to get that
charcoal braided lube in let's jump into comparing the exteriors
and both of these are 44 millimeter models
so it's interesting that my previous gold series 5 stainless steel just looks
a little bit more substantial i think that's probably because of the
reflections um from the coating on here and then the
band the milanese loop also comes out a little bit with with
the steel instead of just you know being recessed
in there so it looks a little bit larger looks nicer of course than the aluminum
but other than that the top and the front
looks identical the crowns look the same and as far as thickness
they look identical as well now let's go ahead and flip these over to the bottom
let me clean these off here really quick and by the way you can pick up one of
these max tech super soft nice shirts and then
work shelf down below or a mask or a hoodie
let's flip these over uh yeah so the sensors are
definitely different the series five looks like it has one light in the
center and then sensors around whereas the series six has four lights
all around and then we have four circular sensors
and that's because the series 6 has those
extra features that we'll talk about in just a bit now before we test out those
new sensors let's compare the displays so right here
i have one of the new watch faces and i want to
let you guys know that all the new watch faces are available on the series 5
and the series 4 so that's not a reason to
upgrade now as far as the screens they are identical the same exact size
the corners around it the same as you guys could see right here
now as far as the brightness of the screen some people have been saying that
the new one is brighter but it's not supposed to be brighter in
the regular mode the peak brightness is actually
the same it's the always-on mode we're gonna test out a series of different
watch faces to see how that affects it i have both
these set to the maximum brightness we adjusted that top camera
for the displays not the table and let's do our first
test there we go and what do you see vadim look at the camera
looks the same to me yeah i am not seeing any difference in
brightness with the always on mode that's very interesting
the settings are maxed out there's no extra setting that i found
let's try one of the new ones here so here we go
they look the same and they look the same they look the same uh
so it does actually have an ambient sensor
on the apple watch so let's pull out my phone here
grab the flashlight and see if that makes any difference for us i don't know
where the sensor is it's brighter but not by that much
you guys can see from above i can see the outline better
yeah i mean there's also better contrast which helps yeah
it is brighter for sure here we have another new one this is the count
up one for people that i think they said racing right
um let's go like this honestly hearing two and a half times more i was
expecting a drastic difference and that was
probably my biggest complaint about the series five is that the always-on mode
was not bright enough let me try the gradient one this is one that i liked
with my stainless steel for the gold color
but it just wasn't bright enough for me to use it consistently
do that it's a little brighter it's a little bit brighter throw some
light on here okay both of my seat got brighter
i gotta be honest with you i'm a little bit disappointed by that
let's try out this chronograph pro i think that's actually the racing one
let's go ahead and do or maybe that's a diving one i don't know
once again the result looks very similar at least to my eyes
and just to double check for myself and to prove to you guys that in the
settings there's no additional option for
brightness during always on we just have one setting here the always-on mode is
on and both of them are maxed out so that is definitely a bummer
but on the plus side one thing that i didn't
expect as i was going through adding these watch faces you guys see
sometimes there's just a little bit of stuttering
where this one is perfectly smooth so there definitely is a difference in
performance with the new chip here now let's get
back into the sensors and there are a ton of different
similarities between them along with some of the features
so before i show you guys the actual differences and we test those out
we actually wrote a list of similarities so
both of them have the same second gen heart sensors there's the same compass
the same accelerometer the same fall detection
the same exact 50 meters of water resistance same 32
gigabytes of storage same ceramic and sapphire glass same
speaker phone same microphone same noise app support
the same w3 chip and the same exact bluetooth five so a lot of the features
are identical now we do have the differences now so we
have new wi-fi five support for the series six instead
of just 2.4 gigahertz it will do five gigahertz and for me
that was never an issue but i did notice some people
complain about it taking too long to put music on there
so that could be a benefit to you and then we off the always-on altimeter so
if you're somebody that hikes you can use that function along with
that there's another hardware difference inside and that's that the new series 6
has the u1 chip the same as in the new iphones
and that means in the future your phone will be able to track your watch
and potentially if it's hidden behind a wall or under couch cushion
it's gonna be really easy to find it so that is a nice
feature now probably the biggest one that they cared about on screen
was the new blood oxygen sensor so we are gonna go ahead and test that out
it is showing me don't have it too close up which is fine it's right here
don't want it too tight but you want it snug i'm facing up relaxed
just exactly like i'm doing now i don't know how much this matters for a lot of
people for me i'm usually good but if you're
somebody with allergies or health conditions
this could definitely be a reason to upgrade to the new one
looks like i'm at 96 once i removed my watch and put this in the right spot
so that is pretty good and that could definitely be handy as i mentioned
so with all of that said who should upgrade from a series 5
to a series 6 and if you're buying one should you buy series 6 or should you
try to get a discounted series 5. i saw some great deals on amazon we'll
link them down below for you to check out first off if
that new blood oxygen sensor is very convenient to you
i think that's probably gonna be the biggest reason to upgrade the display
brightness that didn't show up that much the
altimeter i don't think that matters that much as well unless you really
constantly need to know what your altitude is
and another reason to upgrade for some people are going to be the colors
we have that blue we have this red there's some actual titanium edition
models as well so those are going to be appealing to
some people i personally am a big fan of red but one big disappointment is
that if you're buying this product red model
you have to get a red band this standard sport band i really
don't like the color of it i'm going to be taking this off
right away now the braided solo loop that is a deeper red i like how that
looks much better but you can't change out any
other ones you have to get a red band so i ordered the charcoal braided
solo loop and if you're ordering separate it costs
a hundred bucks instead of 50 getting it together so
that's a bummer because if you get say the blue one you can choose any band you
want with it you can save the money if you want to go with something else so
it sucks that they're limiting you there now if you're looking to buy one
instead of upgrade should you buy the series 6 or
should you get a discounted series 5. personally as long as you don't need the
blood oxygen as long as you don't want one of these new colors
i would say go for the series 5. there's just way too many similarities and the
display brightness as far as we could see
wasn't really that noticeable so i would save the money
and go for a series 5 instead once again there's links down in the video
