The Apple Watch Series 6 is powered by a new Apple S6 SiP (system in package). It also comes with a W3 wireless chip, an ultra-wideband (UWB) technology, and the U1 chip (allows connectivity using radio waves in a short-range).
The new smartwatch comes with mental health tracking features (to detect panic attacks and stress levels). The sleep tracking feature uses a combination of accelerometer data and software tweaks available through watchOS 7.
The electrical heart sensor on the wearable records heartbeat and rhythm. It can detect atrial fibrillation (AFib) and offer an electrocardiogram (ECG) report.
The Apple Watch Series 6 also measures blood oxygen saturation (SpO2). The new health sensor uses infrared light and photodiodes to detect the color of blood under the skin to calculate blood oxygen saturation.
The new smartwatch will offer an alert if your blood oxygen levels drop below the reference figure between 95 and 100 percent.
