Apple Watch Series 6 is the new high-end model with blood oxygen tracking, a faster S6 chip, a next-generation always-on altimeter, and new casing options like blue aluminum and graphite stainless steel. Pricing starts at $399.

Starting at $279, the lower-cost Apple Watch SE features the same external design as the Apple Watch Series 6, but with some features missing, including an always-on display, blood oxygen tracking, and the ECG app for detecting atrial fibrillation. Apple Watch SE is also powered by the previous-generation S5 chip from the Apple Watch Series 5.

Apple Watch Series 6 and Apple Watch SE share a handful of features, including fall detection, a compass, an always-on altimeter, Emergency SOS with international emergency calling, high and low heart rate notifications, irregular heart rhythm notifications, water resistance up to 50 meters, the Noise app, and compatibility with watchOS 7.

I wasn’t going to until I saw the blood oxygen sensor. I have severe asthma, and use a pulse oximeter regularly, so this upgrade makes sense for me. Otherwise, I wouldn’t see the point either.

Did anybody else notice how misleading the Apple marketing materials are? They depict the red crown ring on the blue watch, which is only available in aluminum. Instead, those photoshopped pics make you believe it’s offered in stainless steel as well, which is not the case.
I believe red crown ring comes on LTE models only, regardless of case material.
