I've been using the Apple Watch Series 6 for a week and wanted to share my thoughts on it. Who should upgrade? How does the blood oxygen sensor work? Is that always-on screen noticibly brighter outside? Watch to find out!
I've been doing big reviews of watchOS since the beginning, and for the first time, I'm venturing into video! The full text of the review is below, but frankly, the video is the primary version of the review, so if you can I'd love if you checked that out if
