From being a fitness watch, Apple Watch has evolved to be a great health companion. Even though not a medical device, the nifty features such as ECG and heart-rate tracker works smoothly, and has helped detect irregular heart rhythms, an early symptom of a heart stroke or heart-related problems for many. And with the new Watch Series 6, Apple has integrated sensors and app to measure blood oxygen level too. This is a much needed and handy feature in the current COVID-19 pandemic as a drop in the oxygen level could not just be the early warning signs of the infection but also other health-related issues in general.
Continuing with the familiar design, the Apple Watch comes in the same 40mm and 44mm sizes, and in new (PRODUCT) RED and Blue aluminium cases. My review unit was the Blue aluminium case and my old blue leather watch band complimented it perfectly. It packs in a faster chip, and the screen appears brighter in "always-on" ambient mode, especially outdoors.
