Hi everyone Aaron here for Zollotech and the apple watch series six has been out for a little
bit over six months i've been using it every single day and many of you have asked me to do
a long term review on it so this is my edition version this is the series six titanium edition
version and if i slide the band off here and get up close you can see that here so it says series 6
44 millimeter titanium and it says ceramic case so sapphire display or sapphire crystal
so you can see that there and i use it with a titanium band so this is a nomad titanium band
and along with this i also have my wife's series 6 nike watch so this is the nike version again
as you can see here it says apple watch series six and it's got the little nike symbol there so
i've got both of these here and wanted to talk about how they hold up whether or not you should
pick one up based off the features and more and so like i said i've been using this every single day
and one of the reasons i get the sapphire display whether that be the ceramic or the
titanium or even the stainless steel is because this display holds up much much much better
and so i've bumped this into concrete and everything else and it just doesn't scratch
so it seems to be much more durable than glass it hasn't shattered on me all the way back to
the original apple watch that i was using i've switched to the series 3 regular aluminum one and
it has scratches all over it so based off that seeing how you're going to usually keep these
for a few years the sapphire definitely holds up better the titanium has held up really well for me
you'll see all the way around the edge no issues there and the bottom is also no problems there my
watch band has been used with a couple versions of apple watch so it's held up well but it has some
of the paint or coating coming off of it that's pretty normal like i said i've bumped others into
bricks and concrete and it's kind of scuffed it up but it's done nothing to the display of the
apple watch so that's a really good sign on the aluminum version this one is actually holding
up pretty well my wife she was concerned about not using a screen protector on it i forgot to put one
on for her i generally put one on that you stick on using water or some sort of solution and it
holds up well but she doesn't have one on here and doesn't have a single scratch on the display so it
holds up really really well and no issues there of course if you're pretty rough with it maybe you're
working outside i would recommend recommend one with stainless steel or maybe sapphire
so this one's holding up well also now as far as the overall use well one thing where this has
come in very handy is when using it with a mask if you're using watch os 7.4 and you're running
the betas that's something i regularly do and by the time you watch this video it could already
be out to you but using that makes this even more valuable now that works for the series 3 and newer
so you'll have that option but if i put this on my wrist and it's locked or unlocked rather we'll
unlock it so now you can see i have my mask on i have my apple watch on my wrist unlocked and
my iphone on the right if i lock my iphone unlock it swipe up it unlocks immediately and then on the
watch it says unlocked by this apple watch that's an incredibly useful feature these days
and definitely a reason to have one of the newer watches so let me take the mask off here now
with the series 6 you get the o2 sensor or blood oxygen now i did have an issue with this initially
because this watch band isn't tight enough on my wrist and so i had to use a different one you can
see it's it wants me to stay still but i found that i had regular failures of this because it
was on my wrist and not tight enough so unless you have a watch band it's a little bit more tight on
your wrist it's not that great of a feature but it will measure it throughout the day if you have one
of the solo loops or anything else it's fine now as far as the display on the series six of course
it's always on you can see it just went into the one hertz sort of dim mode and it's really
nice when you tap on it of course it's nice and bright i'm using the apple watch infograph modular
a lot of people ask me about this with the app called lumi so you have to buy the app lumi it
tells you when golden hour is the best time to sort of take photos or video sometimes and tells
you morning sunset or sunrise so it gives that along with weather i also use the little weather
app in the bottom left my compass in the middle and then activity you can see i haven't worn it
a whole lot today but i do wear it every single day the overall use of this and display is really
great because it's nice and bright this time around it's even brighter but it doesn't really
cut into the battery life at all so the display is nice and bright no issues there and in fact my
wife actually has her display turned down a little bit so if we go into the settings on my wife's you
can see the display is actually turned down a little bit because it doesn't need to be all the
way up it's so bright so that's something that i think is really nice with these apple watches the
series six it's a little bit of an advantage the smoothness of the chipset in here is really nice
everything's just super fast all the time if i go into an app i hardly ever use on my apple
watch like home for example it opened immediately if i go into heart study it opened immediately
heart rate it's just things i don't use all the time but it's just super fast and it never feels
slow like some of the older ones did if i go into memoji you'll see it takes a second to load
because i haven't opened it for a while and most of the time these apps are just really fast and
i haven't had any issues with them fast enough that there's no problems the speech recognition
is great on them just like all the other apple watches as well and this is the cellular version
and while i don't use that a ton i do go for walks without my phone and that's really helpful
if someone's trying to get a hold of me message me i can see that here maybe someone's trying to
talk to me on twitter for example it's very nice to have that ability of course that costs extra
you don't need it but if you want to use your watch without the phone it's a really nice feature
now the other thing is battery life battery life on this apple watch has been really great i've had
it on this morning it's down 10 percent and it's been on a lot because of this video and filming
but in general battery life is pretty great let me take a look at my wife's here she should have
the same we'll go home and swipe up she's at 98 so i've been wearing mine a little bit she didn't put
hers on first thing this morning and it seems to be doing just fine and it will easily last
me a day and a half or two days with regular use if you're using it to work out and stream music
to headphones or air pods all day you're going to go through the battery a little bit more rapidly
and it does seem to make a difference but the display the always-on display doesn't seem to
really affect it much now if we go into settings and then we go down to battery we'll go to battery
battery health has been pretty good too so if i go down we'll go to battery health you'll
see i'm at 97 capacity that's putting it on the charger every single night using it all day long
that's pretty typical of your iphone your ipad your your apple watch macbook whatever batteries
degrade over time and the battery health on my wife's watch is a hundred percent so for some
reason hers is a little bit different i put mine on a third-party belkin charger she puts hers on
the one that comes with it and it seems to be just fine either way she has a smaller battery
but for some reason hers is at 100 mine's at 97 but batteries do degrade over time it's normal
i'm not too concerned about it and it seems to last me a couple days no problem still now
if you had a previous version of this watch and you were thinking should you upgrade to a series
six from a series five i would say from a five to a six probably not but anything before this
one i would upgrade to it not only for the new o2 sensor and all the other features but the
always on display and everything else just make it a much nicer watch with the extended battery
life compared to say a used series 5 for example it's great as far as that goes and of course this
year there should be a series seven which i would expect probably around september so
there have been some rumors saying that it could have everything from the option to check your
your actual blood sugar level i'm not so sure about that that would be incredibly helpful for
those that could use that but the features on this are great the battery life is great and
my dad actually uses this regularly as well a series six with basically everything he does
all day long without his phone with the cellular version it's what he uses to respond to everyone
via text and everything else so it's definitely super helpful if you want to use it
for me the display is a little bit small as far as responding to messages and using voice all day
i just tend to gravitate towards my phone for that now something i get asked all the time is how
water resistant is this is it safe to shower with can i wear it in a pool and absolutely you can do
that apple has advertised it as that and i've swam with the apple watch you can shower wash dishes
get your arm under the water no issues there i probably wouldn't go deep sea diving with it but
other than that you could use it for everyday use and just go swimming with it measure your workout
while swimming and of course you have the water eject feature as well or if you swipe up from
the bottom scroll down a little bit hit the little drop here and then you can turn the digital crown
and using the speakers it ejects the water out of the watch so it's definitely something you can do
no problems with it whatsoever on any watch i've ever owned no issues with water entry
or being damaged from that now finally i want to talk about the bands a little bit
this titanium band is great but like i said the o2 sensor doesn't work well with it so the braided
solo loop this is size 10 for example works really well for me i have no issues when i'm using this
because it's a little bit tighter on my wrist so whereas this titanium band is a bit loose because
it's got links in it and you have to size it and it's sized properly but because of that
it it's just a little bit loose but if i take this
this newer braided solo loop oops i got it upside down here if i take the newer braided solo loop
and put it on my wrist it's easier to get on my wrist it's super comfortable
and it's tight enough not super tight i can get my finger under it but it's tight enough to register
o2 levels throughout the day so if you're going to use that feature a lot i would recommend this or
maybe the solo loop the silicone one or something along those lines i wouldn't leave it a little bit
loose or as you won't really get the benefit of that particular feature you can also use this band
my wife really likes these nylon bands the nylon loop and this is something she prefers it's nice
and soft at first i thought i wouldn't like it but it's nice and soft this is the nike version but
it's comfortable and it's velcro as well so something she really likes and she looks for
these these nike ones with these different designs on them and finds them very very comfortable so
any of these that hold it a little bit tighter to your wrist is probably better for all of the
different sensors but if you want something that's a little bit more premium of course you've got
this option from nomad or others as well i'll link this in the description below so that's how i use
my apple watch now it's probably not the same as other people that use it for fitness all the time
and i probably should use it more for that but you can see all the different apps i have on here
i generally use it for maybe an outdoor walk but using it for fitness with fitness plus for example
works great so if you're using it for that i'd love to hear from you in the comments below
what do you use this for do you use it with maybe air pods when you're going for a walk
or a run or whatever you're doing let me know in the comments below now if you'd like to get your
hands on this wallpaper of course i'll link it in the description like i normally do if you haven't
subscribed already though please subscribe and if you enjoyed the video please give it a like
as always thanks for watching this is aaron i'll see you next time
