Apple Watch Series 6 Review - Why I'm keeping this one!

I upgraded from a Series 0 to the 6, so the difference as you could imagine is MAJOR 👍!

Reason for LTE: Leave the phone at home if you can, you’re still reachable but not scrolling. And with AirPods you can stream music from the watch, great for running and exercise.

“Some of you are just going want to find reasons to justify buying the new watch.” 😂 that’s me 🤪

I know this may be a small sin, but I'd love to see some of your bark and jack straps with Apple Watch compatibility!

I did upgrade from the S5 to the S6... honestly, I am GLAD I did. The faster charging actually does make a difference for the nights that I useit for sleep tracking (weeknights when I wake up earlier than my partner). It makes a lot easier to get up in the morning, and now I'm not waking him up with my phone alarm, AND I am not running out of battery because it is better juiced up. That functinality was honestly worth it. But, I use my watch a lot - for workouts, I use the AOD, and I am on LTE for 1-2 hours most days because I can't have my phone out with me at work. So the extra battery life for the LTE version specifically I think was honestly worth it! But if you are only getting the bluetooth model, then it's not worth it because you don't need the extra battery power to get you through with that connectivity.

You’ve reaffirmed my buy, with this series 6. I’m glad I waited to get one these babies. Thank you, good sir.

I agree with you on the "new normal". That's the selling point. I never owned an Apple Watch. This will be my first one. Care about fitness, sleep, and overall health more than ever now.

Thanks for the review. I upgraded from S5 to S6 and find it worth the upgrade. I have the cellular model and love the freedom of leaving my phone at home when I go for a walk. Also don’t forget as a new watch customer you will get 3 months free access to Fitness+ when it launches.

Just ordered my first Apple Watch and it’s the big 44mm Series 6, can’t wait

I’ve been using apple watches since the beginning. Similar reasons as you mentioned now. I work and I drive a lot and having the watch makes it much easier to attend what’s important and what’s not. This series 6 is by far the best one yes.

I find my Apple Watch very useful for lots of reasons and I love my mechanical watches. I have considered double wristing to get the benefits from both. What do you think? I have a friend who does it with a very slim fit bit that looks more like a bracelet so he kind of pulls it off.

How often are you wearing it each week Adrian - is it replacing your other watches more? Also - will you be doing quick release straps at any point? Great video as always.

I'd be interested to see if you get Viewranger and use it on your watch.

Hi Adrian, how much wrist time is the Apple Watch getting? It strikes me as something that one gets most out of the more it is worn; so how do you manage the rotation of your other pieces? Thanks.

As someone that collected watches for a long time, I can genuinely say that I enjoy this latest iteration of the Apple Watch. I’m not gonna sit here and say I like it because it feels like an actual watch now because it still feels like a smart watch. However, it feels enough like a watch where I can wear it for most days, and save my collectible watches for times when I go out. I also find myself looking at my phone a lot less when I have to watch, because of how limited it is. I get my important information on the watch and it’s easy to ignore something if I need to. It’s nice to see a review from another person who likes collecting watches. It’s also nice to hear you acknowledge that it’s not going to completely replace your other watches.

I have a s3 on my right wrist and my old explorer on the left, ill be upgrading to the s6 soon.

How do you switch between a Smartwatch and an Automatic watch when you have both? One gives you functionality and the other being worry free which you don't need to bother yourself on charging?

How is this going to work in conjunction with your love of "Real" watches? will you double wrist or just rotate between analogue and digital?

I'm actually considering it... thanks for a really cool video, answered most of my questions!

Adrian, i love the new intro music!!!!

Great video as always. I too gave the 5 series back and, incidentally, got back into mechanical watches. For the same reasons you mentioned, I think I could do with an Apple Watch and might give the new one a look into 👍

Great video, I use a Samsung phone, do I have to have an Apple phone aswell to pair this or that wont be necessary?

With a 6.5 wrist, do you think I should go with the 44mm?

Great Video, I am assuming now you have the fitness tracker you will be out and about more then?? that would be great for you and us. Would you consider wearing wearing the smart watch and a mechanical !!

Cool Review! Question: do you do the double wrist thing?

I’m new to Apple Watch and I have POTS and Vasovagal syncope so my main reason for purchasing this watch instead of a fit bit is for the fall detection and the ecg feature. I’m new to Apple in general! I’m excited to have the watch remind me to move and I will feel safer being alone. If I do pass out and I hit my head, I know that I will have someone coming to help me.

Hello Adrian, can you get a Bark and Jack strap for the Apple 6 watch? nice to see your thumb back to normal

I just got the series 6 in stainless steel. I accidentally got a small scuff mark on the steel. Can that be polished out??

Cellular option is a must. Easy to setup and great on nights out, days out without taking your phone. Brilliant feature.

Can smartwatches and mechanical really exist side by side long term? I got the series 5. Initially to keep track of my exercise then found myself working out every day and actually got more organised and productive because of little silent alarms and my calendar on my wrist. Stopped wearing the Apple watch in favour of mechanicals and my exercise routine and productivity have suffered but I feel like a right plum wearing both 🤷🏻‍♂️

Nice one bro I was in two minds as to getting one of these think I will treat myself!!

I just bought the same watch and I have been wearing it for two days now. Same as you; I bought the series 5 last year and I returned it. This year I made my mind that I will be keeping it. So far I have been enjoying a lot my Apple Watch series 6 GPS only. I just saw you video and I just realized we have the same train of thought. Cheers!

Hi Adrian, great content. It would be interesting to hear how you get on living with the Apple Watch. As it’s more integrated and with health tracking benefits etc, will you wear this more and more and your “real” watches increasingly less so, or just sometimes wear both to keep the step count up!

May I ask what color is your watch band?

I have a Apple Watch series 2 and it need to charge 2 time a day to work; should I get this series 6?

Beautiful B- Roll as always!

Another beautifully shot video. Love the landscape you obviously have on your back doorstep now 😉

I still have the series 2 not sure i should get the 6 or the se..How important is to have ecg and blood oxygen meter?

I was told that the sleep tracker is not automatic.......true?

Apple launch a new product Me: pffff i don't need it Me after try it: ok i can't live without it 😂

You always chose super good music dude 🎶👏

One of the most honest reviews I’ve ever watched. Great work👍🏻

The titanium looks amazing in my opnion well worth the money.

Thank you for your review of the AW series 6. I've been tempted to get one over the years, but held back because I was afraid I would never wear any of my nice mechanical watches. I'm still waiting to get my 39mm Rolex Explorer or new Sub(who knows how long that will be). I appreciate the workmanship of a mechanical watch and how a watch can compliment your style. It also becomes a conversation piece when out and about. I love my Rolex, Breitling, Omega, Panerai, and IWC. They all offer their own unique style and presence on your wrist. Something an apple watch cannot do since they all look pretty much the same. I guess changing the straps is a way to make them different. My wife likes the AW and has her eyes set on the new one. She's a nurse and likes to have the ability to access certain apps without having to take out her phone. I get it. I got her a Rolex Datejust for her birthday last year and she only wears it once in awhile. Her main go to watch is the Apple watch. That is what she prefers to wear on a day to day basis. My choice would be a mechanical watch. I'm not big into social media and don't have a FB or Twitter account so getting alerts like those are useless to me. If I need to get the news, I will use my phone or my computer. I find it easier to use and read. This pandemic has changed the way people interact, but it won't go on forever. Prior to the pandemic, I would see people constantly looking at their phones, not really engaging with anyone around them. You see that scene in "the social dilemma" where the family is at the dinner table and everyone is on their phone. That's a sad reality of where we are at. I think the Apple watch simplifies or reduces the amount of time you use your phone, but it still makes you a slave to the tech. Wearing a mechanical watch gives me the ability to 'unplug' from all tech. Sorry, but I'm a little biased towards mechanical watches. Thank you

Just got this watch 40mm not sure weather I should have got the 44mm being that my wrist is a 8” size.

A great, insightful review! Hope you’re keeping well! 😎👍

Thanks for the insight.

I got a series 2 and its good enough recently been looking for reasons to get a series 6.

I do agree with your perspective, and that’s why I wear one. I usually wear an Apple Watch on one wrist and one of my watches on the other, but if I exercise I only wear the Apple Watch of course. People who don’t wear an Apple Watch for its functionalities do not understand it...especially Watch snobs.

Ok it’s been out for a while now, do you still recommend it? I’m getting serious with my health and workout and Apple Watch is kinda invested for me. Thank you

Did I see a screen protector there? What screen protector are you using?

I've long been a mechanical watch guy. I just bought the new Apple watch SE. I love it, so (multi) functional.

Great review because it’s a different perspective than all those other reviews.

Question.. Which watch are your wearing more often? The Rolex or Apple Watch? I’m wearing a 116610LN almost everyday for years now and thinking about buying a Apple Watch for the variety. I’m afraid that I won’t be wearing the Apple Watch after a short while because of the Rolex. What’s your experience on that?

You really established an awesome cinematic look in your videos Adrian, appreciate that, looks great. Keep it up🙏🏻 I choose the SE LTE as I really like to leave my cellphone at home, social media detox so to say. Have a good start into the new week, cheers, Konstantin

Thanks for the video! I’m looking for advice on the GMT face half circle colors. When you load a new GMT face, the dual tones are split along the 9-3 hours, does this function for the GMT face? Soon after you adjust the face for custom GMT, this split shifts, it’s no longer horizontal across the 9-3, it tilts to an angle. Then, no matter what time zone I set it to, I can’t get it to go back to a nice horizontal split 9-3 (unless I remove the face and add it again); can anyone help me understand this? Thanks in advance!

Do you think that, over time, you're likely to basically stop wearing your mechanical watches? Surely a lot of the benefit of wearing an Apple Watch comes precisely from wearing it all the time, so that the sleep and health/fitness features deliver their full benefit?

Would you wear this with a traditional watch on the opposite wrist?

Oura ring is another solution if you want to track activity and sleep. That way you keep your wrist spare for a nice mechanical piece.

Great review man! I appreciate it! Getting one soon!

How do you alternate apple watch with other watches?

Which watch is going to last longer in the long run SE vs S6??

Loved the video and the review. Cheers!

Welcome to the club! Oh and last year’s Series 5 had a titanium version too. Oh and I’m getting one as well, when it arrives in my part of the world, hopefully 🤞 my current Series 2 is a bit long in the tooth now. Despite serving me faithfully over the last few years.

Is it accurate if the user has an radial arterial graft from cardiac bypass surgery?

Nice review!

Does the Apple Watch get more wrist time then your Rolex now ?

Good video thanks

Definitely the best apple watch review ive seen so far, second to none. I feel that only Bark truly knows how to use the apple watch, unlike other reviewers merely treating it as tech gadget.

I just recently got my first ever Apple Watch. I did contemplate seriously getting a series 6 but was told only difference with it was just a measurement app ie blood oxygen on the watch. I couldn’t justify the extra £200 for just that. The blood oxygen thing isn’t a need, want or interest for me. So I went for the series 5 gold steel...best thing I ever chose to do. No regrets. I love the watch and how cohesive & seamless it works with my AirPods 2nd Gen. I hesitated for a while to pull the trigger out of fear it would render any other watch I’ve spent money on as pointless or useless, that’s not the case so far. I still use my other non Apple watches, more so for fancier settings. I love the customisable factor with the watch straps. You find your size, pick a strap or straps you like and attach them, it’s so easy. I’ve taken to creating all sorts of colour combos: khaki & orange straps, pride 🌈 & orange. I’ve got more straps on order, the sport band is my favourite band so far.

I use my traditional watches, and trying some smart watches. But going to settle for apple watch. Just concerned when will I give some wrist time to my collection of traditional watch.

good video thanks!

That buzz light year sold me thanks

Cool video. Are you going to wear just one watch (mechanical or battery powered) or would you wear both, one on each wrist? It’s always my dilemma. I have a Rolex Sub Date (116610LN) and don’t have a smart watch. I like the functionality of a smart watch, but it’s too much of a gadget to me. What do you think?

I have wrist tattoos , and the series6 new LED setup doesn’t work with them that well. Had to return it, and keep my series 5

Had series 6 just under week my first Apple Watch and got no complaints so far

Fair enough reasons for keeping it. How are you/will you balance wrist time between your other watches? I reckon I would like a smartwatch but none of the Android ones seem as good as the Apple Watch so feels pointless getting one.

Can u use the internet on it??

Did he mention colour of this strap?

Good review, thank you, 👍🏻

So a watch enthusiasts like you decides to buys an apple watch and wants to make the best use of it, tracking fitness and so on. When do you have space on your wrist for a mechanical watch? While the apple watch is charging or when you are sleeping? I feel deciding for the apple watch also means deciding against the other watches you own.

Excellent review , new sub

I finally up graded from an Apple 3 to an Apple 6. I think I made the right move. I enjoy the new apps. The blood oxygen monitor is great for my age. You’re right about the exercise app. It keeps me motivated. Thanks for your info.

this why i am keeping for how long? Nice to see outdoors enjoying Scotland I am a bit of an apple geek, but just can't connect with the watch

i've been hemming and hawing whether to buy AW or not since series 0. But everytime I think of my grail the pelagos, I get put off and continue saving lol.

I went from series 1 to series 6 and completely love it !! Wife got for me for Christmas

Why is this video so soothing?

Phiiirrrrrst. Can you do a comparo vs the TAG Heuer Connect?

Can you listen to podcast from the watch?

Solid analysis

I was going to get the blue book but now might have to change

How did you decide on sizing? 44mm is a pretty scary number given your other style tastes. Also, how do you decide when to wear the Apple Watch vs any other of your watches?

Great video, great pace and content.

Glad you did the review. I wear my blnr on the left wrist and Apple Watch 6 on my right.

I just bought the 6. Love it so far.

I love to feel disconnected sometimes (less stress), the reason I don’t wear a connected watch anymore.

I want an apple band - something I can wear on my right wrist and have all the functionality, but interfaced on my phone. (And then keep wearing a real watch). Ive not looked into it, but a Fitbit in a few generations time would be the one I think

Came for the watch specs, stayed for the photography and legit opinion. Hate the watch aesthetically but wow is it ever impressive technologically. I feel like the only major thing left is a solar charge capability so that you aren’t reliant on an electric power source and the requirement to take off the watch to charge it. Love your content!

Very well delivered review on the apple 6..I appreciate it and very practical review indeed..goodjob boss!-watching from dubai with ❤️
