The new Apple Watch series 6 is a brand new version of Apple’s watch collection. The watch has very different features. One of the new features brought to us by this watch is the Blood Oxygen reader. Making your overall health better. “Apple Watch Series 6 completely redefines what a watch can do,” said the chief operating officer for Apple, Jeff Williams. Not to mention the new watch is 2x brighter then the series 5 and has a charge time that is 40% faster and can go from 0 to 100% in just 1.5 hours. The watch also is capable of new bands that will fit the watch which are made of 100% recycled material. Nike is also creating bands for the new watch for fitness. This is a great but how great is this new watch? There are a lot of different aspects that could hinder myself from getting one. I read that the readings of the watch could be a false hope in actually displaying real life health for that person and that the watch is great for entertainment but is not a medical tool and shouldn’t be used as one. I think this plays a bigger picture in life then just “oh I have a nice watch” what goes beyond that? How accurate is this new device? Does this new device give us false readings or not? These are all questions I have pertaining to the new watch. I think that people make start to rely on these watches instead of actually going to the doctor since they have health benefits on the watch. I love apple products but when reading about the new watch it seems like their big selling point was strictly about the new health benefit of the watch being able to read our oxygen in our blood. I think that having this at our hands is very useful when we want to workout and see how much we run or walk in a given day but I don’t think that we should rely on the watch for more important aspects of our life like our heart rate or oxygen in our blood because the watch is not a medical tool it is for entertainment and should be treated like, since that’s what it is for.
