Review on Apple Watch Series 6 (44mm) GPS + Cellular - (Product) RED Aluminum Case with (Product) RED Sport Band by Takahara Hideo ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Impressions from the purchase are good, buy.

The thing is convenient, but not essential. The price is not high, but not low either. In general - the most controversial Apple product, in my opinion. The SE version is essentially a watch of the previous generations with a processor and screen from the 5th series. In fact, all the main functions were implemented by the company earlier - a heart rate monitor, various sensors, notifications, etc. This model has them. The advantages of the SE are in the price, but, for example, in the SE there is no possibility to make an ECG, although such a function is even in the 4th series. Unlike the 6 Series, there is also no always-on display and blood oxygen sensor. The release in 2022 is encouraging in that they will be supported for another two or three years, or even all four. According to the display - its constant operation lands the battery. The watch is already struggling to hold a charge for a day, with this function it will be even less, so it seems controversial. Oxygen in the blood is a nice whistle, but 99% of users do not need it, as well as an ECG from one point of the body, which does not give any reliable result. In the absence of an iPhone, it makes no sense to buy this watch - they are its addition, no more and no less. Android will probably work, but you won't get all the functionality. What will happen in the 7th series is difficult to say, but hardly anything revolutionary. Most likely they will change the design, but again, they are unlikely to switch to a round one, since unification. So even in 2022, the SE version is the most optimal purchase if you really need such a watch or don’t feel sorry for the money in order to try it. If you are not sure - do not take it or buy a series of 4 used ones for 12-15 thousand. Get the same. On a well-known website with ads, there are quite a lot of ads with almost new watches with the motivation “I’m selling because I didn’t need them”, which suggests that many still don’t need them. They are trying to sell for 22-24 thousand, but at the price of new ones at 26, it is pointless to buy used.

Pros
  • Convenient - all notifications on hand Many other useful and not so useful functions - they count the time of washing hands, the parameters of jogging and other sports, stimulate movement, reminding you of warm-ups and more The price is acceptable - not cheap, but if you take the price of branded “stupid” watches that show nothing but time, then it turns out to be not so expensive Perfect match with iPhone and other Apple devices In winter - an indispensable thing when the smartphone is hidden warm under clothes Plenty of accessories for little money Waterproof
Cons
  • Operating time - needs to be charged daily The thing is not the first or even the second necessity - think three times before buying I personally do not like the rectangular shape of the watch. Even the 40 mm version is bulky for a thin female hand, 44 mm and even more so, it's a pity that the company abandoned the 39 mm version The charger for the outlet was removed from the package, motivating concern for the environment. I readily believe in this reason. In 2022, there is no official version with e-sim, and this version, in my opinion, is the most necessary - with it you can go out for a run or even swim in the sea for a short time without losing connection.
