Apple Watch 6 series
The 6 series follows the same design philosophy as the Watch 5 series.
It will be available in two sizes -- 40mm and 44mm -- with GPS or GPS + cellular options.
The watch is powered by the new Apple S6 chipset based on the Apple A13 Bionic chipset (A13 Bionic powers the iPhone 11 series) optimised for the watch.
The new blood oxygen level sensor works with the help of a Blood Oxygen app and the hardware consisting of a green, red, infrared LED cluster and photodiodes placed at the back of the watch.
When the cluster of LEDs light up and beam the light onto the blood vessels of the wrist, the photodiodes measure the amount of light reflecting back.
With the help of algorithms, the app calculates the colour of the blood to indicate the amount of oxygen present in the blood.
The Apple Watch SE runs on the latest WatchOS 7 and it brings more enhancements to Watch faces, fitness, maps and sleep app.
The WatchOS 7 will also be available for series 3, 4, 5 watches, but will not sport all the features due to hardware restrictions.
Apple Watch SE
The Watch 6 SE comes with all the essential features borrowed for the Apple Watch 6 series, though it skips the ECG and blood oxygen level sensor.
The watch is powered by the Apple S5 chipset; the same which powers the Apple Watch 5 series.
