If you compare the Apple Watch Series 5 to the new Apple Watch Series 6, then there really aren't many differences and the upgrades are very small, but the differences and upgrades are enough for the Apple Watch Series 6 to be taken seriously. It's not a solid product, a reliable product.
I returned the Apple Watch Series 5 because of battery and charging, but the new Apple Watch Series 6 has a new battery and faster charging. Which is a game-changer. But probably the biggest change is the world. Covid-19 has created this new normal, we feel more detached from the world, and the Apple Watch helps to keep us connected.
Apple Watch Series 6 vs Apple Series 5:
- S6 Processor 20% faster
- Better battery up to 18hrs
- Faster charging 0-100% in 1hr 30mins
- New straps
- New colours
- Aluminium, Steel and Titanium

Hey Adrian, did you notice english subtitles have been recently desactivated? seriously, it can be a nightmare for non-native English speakers ... :-) hope you can fix that, I am so frustrated as a Frog living under tropics! keep on the good job!
4:10 convincing yourself that you need an Apple watch.
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
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.
True
There’s no reason for LTE, nobody goes anywhere without their phone, and if your running as they say ( when most Americans know they don’t run) how far are you running that you will be so far away from your phone that you need to pay a higher cellphone bill.
@@studivan terribly ignorant comment you’ve posted.
Exactly correct. I run with only my Apple Watch, AirPods. Used the Series 4 for 2 years. Just got the Series 6. Never had any battery issues. Having cell service is worth the extra cost and peace of mind that I am reachable and can reach others when out. I have quite a lot of music downloaded to the watch, but it is also convenient to stream music and podcasts that aren't downloaded. It's great not having to carry a phone while out running.
@@ZachBAkron yes, i now hate you @studivan
I upgraded from a Series 0 to the 6, so the difference as you could imagine is MAJOR 👍!
3 to 6...coming in today, im amped! lol
What do you think of it considering you’ve never had one?
@@hunters.7469 Series 0 Apple Watch was actually a thing, believe it or not!
Going from NoAppleWatch to S6 - arriving today I hope.... stoked!
@@bethmccaff255 I expect to get my soon also, can’t wait
“Some of you are just going want to find reasons to justify buying the new watch.” 😂 that’s me 🤪
LmO! Meeeee
I’m getting mine tmrw 😂
Well for me it's to justify that I got it. First one for me. Love it so far.
@@peterjanbo657 same! Also my first one and I wrote that when I already ordered it haha 😅
True... hahahaha
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.
Momoru same. I feel the exact same.
I struggle with the point you’re touching on here. I also find the the work and fitness usefulness of the Apple Watch to be a game changer, but it kills me with how much wrist time I give up with my other watches to use it
just wear like I do your mechanical watch on your left wrist and Apple Watch on the right one ! ;-)
@@stfdvl9754 I don’t know about that one 😅
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!
ChippyGaming if you live in the UK, perhaps something like this: www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07ZJCNY8S/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_r3PGFbMH1GAZG
James Burke oh really good idea!
Yooo waddup chippygaming
Apple launch a new product
Me: pffff i don't need it
Me after try it: ok i can't live without it 😂
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.
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.
I won't need to upgrade my Seiko every two years.... The "real" and accountable feedback from my GP is also valuable ...
Apple supports their products for 7 years so I reckon you’d get at least 5 decent years out of it but if anyone thinks it’s going to replace a doctor they probably need their head examining as well 😅
@@steelstunners1862 But taking health advice from a tech-company is sane? And what about your iPhone from seven years ago...my one is at the bottom of a drawer somewhere.
TSW It’s a licensed medical device in terms of ecg it wouldn’t have gotten that without regulatory approval and the rest of the functionality is mostly just useful for tracking frequency and intensity of exercise. But in terms of a value proposition a mechanical watch is obviously a better deal.
Whole point of a watch is that it's not tech IMO. Glad you enjoy it
A regular watch, yes, I agree with you. I don’t consider the Apple Watch and actual watch. I don’t use it for time, nor do I wear it because I love what’s inside. I wear it as an extension of my phone on one wrist and my mechanical watch on my left. They serve completely different purposes.
S. M. Why do you need both ? Your phone alone isn’t good enough ?
@@magicmike7066 actually, no, it’s not enough. I’m a medical professional. Sometimes I don’t have a free hand to reach in my back pocket, but still need to see who is messaging be at the moment.
I always saw watches as technology first, not just jewellery. What jewellery is sold with a feature & spec list? None. But a mechanical watch, you will know the movement, materials, complications, water resistance, legibility at night, maybe even antimagnetic properties. I think they're cool precisely because they're functional, tech infused jewellery. It's just mechanical or electric (quartz) instead of electronic (software-driven) technology.
S. M. Touché, that would be a good exception
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
Stick with mechanical watches. I'm a nurse and my colleagues look so silly flipping their wrists just trying to tell basic time. If they enable always on display they will run out of battery in no time. Also people even forget to charge their phone what more a watch? If a zombie apocalypse happens.. you're lost and can't tell time in 2 days hahaha
I’d buy a dog in your position, that will make you get out and exercise more, particularly in that beautiful countryside.
That way you get to wear a nice watch at the same time.
Matt Vowles if I had that much space to go out and walk, I would get two dogs 😁
adopting would be even nicer 😼
@@cradlemonsterp9309 Your right. Ours is a rescue dog.
Buy a bulldog. Best purchase of my Life
Unfortunately you could get a new Tudor watch for the cost of a dog in the UK currently
Just ordered my first Apple Watch and it’s the big 44mm Series 6, can’t wait
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.
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.
That buzz light year sold me thanks
Nice video ! Where to get one for lower price ? Thanks
bought mine series 5 at iwatchclone.com im obsessed with it lol , not much different than 6
@@senad7557 bought mine watch there too
Cellular option is a must. Easy to setup and great on nights out, days out without taking your phone. Brilliant feature.
You’ve reaffirmed my buy, with this series 6. I’m glad I waited to get one these babies. Thank you, good sir.
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?
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.
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!
Thanks so much Travis 🙌🏻
I love to feel disconnected sometimes (less stress), the reason I don’t wear a connected watch anymore.
Just take it off once and a while
I stoped using mine for the same reason. It will still suit some people’s lifestyles tho.
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.
Yep, I feel a bit of a plum double phisting
The titanium looks amazing in my opnion well worth the money.
In the video it looks like your in the middle of nowhere , the LTE. Model would be better for you as you like the outdoors , you could drop and break your phone and the watch would be useless , LTE on the watch would be for emergencies
I'm an IT guy and love tech, but I would never get a smartwatch. It can do nothing I need, that my phone that is right next to it can't do better. But having to charge it all the time would drive me crazy. I quit social media, because I wanted less screen-time. Now I don't need to strap another screen to my wrist and produce more waste. I'd rather have a nice watch that will last for decades.
Not a iPhone user. Everything I need for tech is in my phone and since my job is very physical, I don't need to be reminded how tired I should be at the end of the day. I am one of those believers that a watch on my wrist should only be about time since my phone is no longer a phone. My phone is time,date, weather, news, GPS, maps, social media, calculator, camera, music, tv, texts, beeper, and well....you get it.
Sooo happy to see a UK video at last - NO offence to our American cousins for 1 single second but thank you - it just feels, somehow, that you’re more relatable and again, that’s not meant to be an insult to ANYONE.
Thanks a lot for watching Toria 👍🏻
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 have my running watch for what it does, I have my Omega for how it makes me feel. The biological connection between me and my running watch is so clever, but for all that technology it feels dead with no moving parts. When I put on my Omega, it elevates me, the watch feels alive with all the cogs and wheels clicking around in perfect engineered harmony.
I absolutely 100% agree 😉👍
That's exactly how I feel. Have a device built to help me do thing and have my mechanical watches for my passion.
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.
For ppl like me who're stuck inside watching this, I think we're pretty happy you moved to Scotland
haha. glad to hear it. And thanks for watching.
One of the most honest reviews I’ve ever watched. Great work👍🏻
Thanks buddy.
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.
Off screen, two armed Apple employees and a fresh grave ready to receive. "Adrian, Blink three times if you require extraction!"
Hahahha.
I was told that the sleep tracker is not automatic.......true?
Titanium was available on the Apple Watch 5 too and the Apple Watch is either sapphire on the steel and titanium or plastic gorilla on the aluminium watches.
Ionx glass for aluminum. 99%of broken and scratched screen apple watches are aluminum models. So never ro aluminum models for me
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.
Cool use of the explorer as a stop watch ⏱
I had to get a mechanical watch in there some how. 👍🏻
I came here just to see the color of the band! I love the green one💚
The green really is cool.
@@BarkandJack I’m sorry I copied you haha. Got the green one earlier!! Girl also can wear and looks cute on her right??🙂
@@asm8911 haha. Good work! Team green 🟢🟢 🙌🏻
@@asm8911 I bought the same S6 Cyprus green wrist band. However, it still looks like a futuristic toy. They should have built it round I guess))
Never understood the point of the watch without cellular
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
Nice work, Adrian! Between you and Jenni Elle, I’d almost think there was a marketing campaign... I just might get one.
Fanzyify - yeah. Odd. It’s as if there had just been a launch of a new model, and everyone is checking it out. Weird.
When reading the comments, I got the feeling, that some people are pissed, that you now have a (non-mechanic) smart watch. Funny (or sad) that some people know only black or white. Don*t understand, who said that you are not allowed to switch between a smart watch and a mechanical watch, as you switch between a mechanical and a quarz watch :) I got a Apple Watch 6 also and it`s on my wrist since the relasedate. It will be in the rotation like any of the other watches soon. If I do sports or wait for a important call, I'll wear the watch, and if I have meetings in office or with customers I`ll go with a dresswatch. Whats the problem here?
I like the style of the new vid. Maybe you should use that style for non (mechanical) watch related topics. It`s different, so you know whats going on :)
Great work, keep on!
Apple Watch is designed to get you addicted to it and monetize this addiction. Mechanical and quartz watches are a hobby, having a seiko doesn’t exclude a nomos. Anyway let’s all wear whatever we want and can
I'm 19 yrs old, Explorer II 16570 and Apple Watch Series 5, perfect setup for me :)
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!
Youre not sending it back to Apple then?
There seems to be a real internal conflict for watch people when it comes to Apple watches. While I don't own one (not in the apple ecosystem), I would certainly buy one as a daily beater, they seem great. It wouldn't stop me still enjoying mechanical watches as well
@@MPD90 Perhaps this is true if your goal is to become more active. If you already lead an active lifestyle, then it seems like a good way to track exercise metrics for each session, no problem with taking it off in between.
The daily beater keeps your most prized watches special - if worn everyday, then special very quickly becomes normal. Also, precious metals often don't take too kindly to daily wear.
@@MPD90 I don't disagree with either of your points, to be honest - just adding some nuance from my perspective.
just wear like I do your mechanical watch on your left wrist and Apple Watch on the right one ! ;-)
Simon Ward I agree. I’m actually considering getting an Apple Watch as a workout watch. I swim, run and ski (cross country) a lot, so I think it would be very useful in that regard. However, at home or in the office I’ll be wearing my mechanical watch.
@@MPD90 Yeah, you may be right. An Apple Watch might be too expensive just for fitness now that I've checked out the price...
Managed to pick up a brand new stainless steel S6 in graphite for £550 so a no brainer for me as this is similar money to the aluminium cellular model. And boy does the stainless steel feel much more premium to the aluminium.
I have spent the last 2 years with a Fitbit on my right wrist and a "proper" watch on the left. The Series 6 had enough health benefits to offer that I pulled the trigger. I am now wearing an Apple Watch on the right, and a proper watch on the left. It feels totally fine and normal. Not a single person has mentioned anything about it. Of course, I'm a 41-year-old white guy dad, so I'm pretty invisible (fashion-wise) as it is. 🤣
I still look at my left wrist for time, and right wrist for notifications and fitness. I am very happy with my 2-watch lifestyle. It's fun and liberating.
I actualy did that with a fitbit Flex, first edition: no screen, only 5 small leds. I like it but because of no GPS tracking I sold it after a year or 2 (and I regretted since then).
I should receive my 1st apple watch (series 6) in a day or 2, and I'm actually planning to keep my automatic watch for 'special occasion', while wearing the apple watch everyday.
I didn't think about wearing both at the same time, but I live in a country where you don't wear sleeves, so wearing 2 watches would be noticeable quite fast1 :(
I actually dreamt about a piece of hardware we could add to our watch's bands, providing GPS, heart rate sensor, etc... but nobody seems interested in that for now
@@adriengoux I live in Southern California. I wear short sleeves for 11 months of the year. =)
Biggest thing that stopped me wearing my apple watch is that it was stopping me wearing my other "real" watches ..... hmm. Liked the fitness element - wish they'd just make a sensor bangle or something that just linked to your phone.
Try an Oura ring, I thought the same!
I wear both. That’s why God gave you two wrists. 👊👊👊
I've long been a mechanical watch guy. I just bought the new Apple watch SE. I love it, so (multi) functional.
Apple Watch has massively helped me get in shape. Never thourght I would become attached to it but I absolutely love it
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.
I wear an Apple Watch on one wrist and Submariner on the other. Then a Tudor on each ankle.
Already have a smartphone on our pockets why place another depreciating asset on our wrist
For being even more tracked by companies that want to sell stuff to us pretending that want to help us
Most of the wrist watches are deprecisting assets.. :)
I think a £400 depreciating asset is pretty good going compared to the damage more watches can do.
your phone hasn't got ECG on it ohh that's right you don't have heart problems until your old wrong
@@angelvinas he says typing on a highly trackable device, on a highly tracked website, using a highly tracked email account. Google, Apple and multiple governments all know where you are. A little watch won't make any difference.
One quiet yet potentially important reason for a cellular model: free emergency calling around the world, without your phone. I still went with a GPS Series 6 just because I’m the sort who always has his phone nearby, but some people may want to spend the extra cash for that feature and the possibility of turning on cellular later.
I’m one of those plant-based people who do some form of exercise almost everyday, in fact I’m trying to cut down. So no thanks, I prefer your Explorer😁
Love my Apple watch. It is the perfect everyday watch. Would not call it a beater, but it serves that purpose for me. I love that it helps me to appreciate my mechanical watches even more because it feels so different. I get bored with watches easily, so it helps that you can change the watch face and change the look and feel of the watch doing so.
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 🤷🏻♂️
No hassle in connecting to cellular. Super easy and definitely convenient for a surfer.
I like the new watch faces and the red circle on the winder.😊
You need to let us know after a month or so, how much wrist time the apple watch got vs. your classic watches. This is my only hang up for getting a smart watch. In order to benefit from them, they need to be on your wrist constantly. Even during sleep. Do a follow up please. How it fit into every day life, while wearing classic watches! Thanks!
I know it does not work as well with an iPhone as with Android, but have you ever tried a Samsung Watch?
I sold mine, as I was not wearing at much in my rotation, but I really liked it. The water resistance was great, the faces were nice and clear, and the battery lasted 3 or 4 days normally. When I was wearing it, I could sleep with the watch most nights of the week.
Some of the health sensors are not that cool as the Apple Watch, but they are decent ... it also motivates you to exercise and I really loved to be able to swim with it.
(And it used regular 22mm straps for the 46mm ... I think 20mm straps for the regular size ... I have an 8 inches wrist, so I could go for the biggest one)
Each to their own, I have not worn a smartwatch outside of a fitbit, I never put alerts on it. I can imagine the watch would be like when one is at work and outlook shows a preview of every email that comes in. Ultimately it just interrupted me doing other things and I turned them off. Outside of the heart rate thing when I am on a treadmill I find the fitness stuff superfluous - one can do some steps each day but I think we're better off doing actual proper exercise!
I love my series 6 literally wear it all the time sadly my Swiss watches sit in their box
Definitely not for me, but I understand your points and the pros it has for you ! Thx for the review!
Just got this watch 40mm not sure weather I should have got the 44mm being that my wrist is a 8” size.
Just bought my series 6 44mm for $80. Came with a cracked screen, but fully functional.
I upgraded from the very first apple watch 42mm wow so much better
Had series 6 just under week my first Apple Watch and got no complaints so far
Wow, I am blown away by the quality of this video. It's like I'm watching a movie. And your personality is awesome! So good!! Subscribed 😁
Wow thanks so much buddy. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
I thought the same thing! the video quality just increased quite significantly! good job!
Limp13 thanks so much buddy. 🙌🏻
I have found although that the idea of a smartwatch is great, after using it a few weeks, the novelty worn off very very quickly. The last 3 smartwatch I bought, all ended up in ebay. I'll keep my mechanical watches thanks.
Adrian, i love the new intro music!!!!
I was going to get the blue book but now might have to change
just watched Jenni Elle's Apple Watch 6 review and I thought..... 3 weeks... in 3 weeks you'll take it off and wear it on occasion if that... Actually it is good for running to Sainsbury's and using the wallet to pay for groceries... 3 weeks amigo!
Trying to curb my phone addiction so a smart watch is a easy pass. Need to get active....get a dog...they also help with stress. Cheers!
I'd love a dog, but it's just another thing to manage.
@@BarkandJack Actually they end up managing you 🤷♂️
@@BarkandJack doesn't the watch have an app to manage the dog now?
You should do review of the Hermès Apple Watch Series 7!
I like the new intro music much better than the old one. Suits your channel better. The old music made it seem like you were reviewing SUVs or trucks.
I've had a series 0 since launch and not bought another since. This might be the year.
Me too. Wore it religiously for 3 years but then got back into my mechanical watches and have now become a watchmaker. The AW still does fine for running and also for checking my sleep patterns.
*balikpapan* They have their uses.
Gutted Apple didn't give you a discount code to share with us!
I think it’s gonna be harder and harder to ignore the Apple Watch (and similar products) in the future, if only for what they can measure and keep track of. Stuff like ECG, heart condition warnings, fall detection, it already is and will continue to become an even better life saver. Personally, I tend to go in and out of long periods of wearing only an Apple Watch, to then put it away to wear only my mechanical and quartz watches. I’ve tried double wristing but it feels a bit too ostentatious. We’ll see which one will win in the end. As Jony Ive - himself a lover and collector of mechanical watches - said in the Hodinkee interview a few years ago: ”Sometimes you wear an Apple Watch for the utility, and sometimes you wear an mechanical watch out of nostalgia or sentiment.” I think this rings true for sure. The AW will never have the emotional connection my mechanical watches to me, but when I raise my wrist and see a picture of new 10 month old son, that’s a kind of emotional connection too, oddly enough. Long story short: it’s a great product, and one more and more watch lovers seem to embrace.
Using explorer as a stopwatch is the most brilliant takeway from this vid. 👍🏻
I’m a big Apple fan but I don’t like the watch, I use a Garmin Fenix 6x for being outdoors, I get notifications on it and it’s a great tool for tracking my hikes etc and brilliant at navigation while using TalkyToaster mapping. The battery also lasts for three weeks when using the GPS for 2 hours a day (with Pulse Ox turned off). But I do like a nice watch when I’m at work etc. Currently watching this while wearing my Tudor Pelagos. All the best to you Adrian.
Ordered the Apple Watch oter box case, I have the series 6, will trade in with Apple I trade in all my devices with apple, getting the 7 as soon as it hits the shelf, also wireless beats out in 3 colors,red white, black, 149.00, now
I’ve been using Apple since 1986 for creative design, and love everything with their logo. That said I love watches but never bought an Apple Watch. This video makes me think.
All fair points made, Adrian, and it looks like now is the right time for you to have the Apple Watch. If it helps to give you a sense of normalcy and connection, then it's served its purpose as a tool. Of course the Apple Watch isn't a replacement for a mechanical watch. The two are different tools for different purposes.
I loved the Apple Watch when I owned one but I don’t want to get another. Reason being is that it locks you into this ecosystem with all the tracking of your steps, sleep, Heart rate, ..... and more; making you feel like your never supposed to not where it.
Would love to see this reviewed after 1, 3 and 5 years to see how it holds up. One of the things we love about mechnical watches is their long lifespan - would be interesting to see how tech like this compares over time.
The series 6 with all its components will last you for at least 3 years or even more, though it depends on how Apple manages their software releases.
My Apple watch 5 cellular is 4 years old and battery health is at 94%. Still looks great, no scratches. 10-21-2023
I cringed when you put the MAGNETIC apple watch charger next to an old Explorer 🤣🤣
I got a series 5 Apple Watch in March & although I do like it (a lot) I find I now don’t wear any of my mechanical watches at all!!! I find myself needing to wear the Apple Watch so that it tracks all my activity, all day. I could wear it on my right wrist and a mechanical watch on my left but that just seems awkward, and also just a bit over the top lol
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?
I have a s3 on my right wrist and my old explorer on the left, ill be upgrading to the s6 soon.
May I ask what color is your watch band?
I still find myself asking. why? Why do I need a smart phone ? I have an Iphone it does all that the watch does. I think its tech foir tech's sake, for me!
Honestly I'm only interested for the GMT face, Countdown face, and Chronograph. It reminds me of a Rolex GMT, SKX, and Daytona. Old merging with new. I'll probably stick to mechanicals but it's very nice.
I’m getting my Apple Watch series 6 tonight
Current Series 4 GPS/Cellular owner waiting for MicroLED display. S4 performing great.
