In this live stream I gave you my real-time thoughts on Apple’s Watch announcement—mainly because my original reaction video got hit with a copyright strike right after I uploaded it. So instead of waiting up to 30 days for Apple to respond to my dispute, I went live and broke down what matters (and what doesn’t) from a fitness wearable perspective. For Apple Watch Series 6, my biggest takeaway is simple: battery life was a massive miss. Apple is pushing sleep tracking while still advertising the same “18-hour” battery, which realistically means a lot of people will be charging twice a day. Yes, you get a slightly faster processor, a brighter always-on display, an always-on altimeter (which I personally don’t care about much), and the new blood oxygen sensor—which is actually more practical to me than ECG, especially with COVID-era health awareness and for people with conditions like asthma. I also talked through the Apple Watch SE value proposition (and why it’s a better buy for a lot of people), plus Apple Fitness+ and the new Apple One bundles. Fitness+ looks well done for beginners who need structure, but it’s not really for me—I already know what I want to do in the gym.
