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.

  1. 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?

    1. 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... ;-)

  2. I had read it too, but the report is from September 13.9th. so before the performance…. But find nothing in the current specifications.

    1. 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.
