Apple yesterday introduced the Apple Watch Series 6 with watchOS 7. The new Smartwatch from Cupertino is available with a 44 or 40 mm case. There is also a choice between pure GPS and combined GPS cellular models. The most noticeable new feature of the Apple Watch Series 6 is the blood oxygen sensor with the corresponding app - with this aid, the oxygen content of the blood can be measured in just 15 seconds. Furthermore, of course, the pulse measurement and the EKG function are also included. I have summarized everything else you need to know about the new Smartwatch from Apple here.

Hello and thanks for the summary!
But what I can't find anywhere is whether the stainless steel version has sapphire crystal again or not. It looks like they have saved on it now…. :-(
Do you know more?

At Maclife you can find this note: "The watch made of aluminum is the only model that has the less scratch-resistant Ion-X glass, while all other models are equipped with sapphire glass." So don't save... ;-)
I had read it too, but the report is from September 13.9th. so before the performance…. But find nothing in the current specifications.
I asked Google again in America and came across the following statement at SlashGear.com: “Apple tells us that the Series 6 aluminum version uses Ion-X glass, while the stainless steel and titanium versions use a sapphire crystal. All models have a ceramic and sapphire crystal back.”
So yes: Apple itself says that the stainless steel version has the sapphire crystal.
so! After chatting with Apple it was confirmed that the stainless steel version still has a sapphire crystal! ;-)
Well, then nothing stands in the way of ordering. : D
