1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:07,359
i've been daily driving the apple watch series 5 for many months now but the

2
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:13,920
series 6 is about as unexcited as i've been for a daily driver update in

3
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:19,920
my memory now part of it is that the apple watch series 6 is just not a very

4
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:24,320
big update so you get the new s6 processor but from what i've seen people

5
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:29,760
talking about so far daily use is pretty much unchanged you

6
00:00:27,439 --> 00:00:34,559
get an altimeter so you can tell how high you are you get actually that would

7
00:00:32,239 --> 00:00:41,920
be a useful feature for a lot of people you get a blood oxygen monitor although

8
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:44,879
there's a fair bit of um debate as to

9
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:49,520
well how accurate it is and you get a brighter always on display now i'm a big

10
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:54,000
fan of always on displays and in fact that's one of the reasons that i wear an

11
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:57,840
apple watch series 5 on the daily not because i daily drive an iphone i happen

12
00:00:56,399 --> 00:01:01,680
to be daily driving an iphone right now because i'm working on my 12 pro review

13
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:06,720
but normally i don't i just use it as a watch and it's sort of my it's my

14
00:01:04,159 --> 00:01:10,720
protest against the deplorable state of Android wearables if Android device

15
00:01:09,439 --> 00:01:15,360
makers could make a better one then i would switch to that this device serves

16
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:18,880
no purpose other than for me to tell the time now technically it does still have

17
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:23,119
all the same fitness tracking capabilities that it would if it were

18
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:27,360
paired to an iphone it's just that i find them quite frankly pretty useless

19
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:32,159
half the time i'm in the middle of a really intense workout i'm moving around

20
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:36,320
a ton my heart rate's at like 185 and it's like hey why don't you stand up for

21
00:01:34,159 --> 00:01:39,200
a bit and the other half the time i'm driving and it's like great workout

22
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:44,159
Linus keep it up okay

23
00:01:41,759 --> 00:01:48,399
the stupid part is again back to the deplorable state of Android wearables my

24
00:01:46,320 --> 00:01:52,159
experience with it has been better than any other one as far as fitness tracking

25
00:01:50,159 --> 00:01:57,840
goes all right let's open this puppy up wow

26
00:01:55,360 --> 00:02:01,600
that's uh huh that's an apple watch all right one thing i would have been really

27
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:05,439
happy with though is the quality of this just like generic fabric strap that they

28
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:10,640
include i guess i shouldn't call it generic for a velcro-like material

29
00:02:08,479 --> 00:02:15,120
this has held up incredibly well too i guess almost a year of use like it still

30
00:02:12,640 --> 00:02:18,800
works just exactly like the day i got it and it's not all fuzzy on the spot where

31
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:22,480
it always sticks it's called velcro velcro and then there's vel se it's like

32
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:29,120
not quite as good okay we apparently got 44 wow

33
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:30,560
oh crap if this series 5 wasn't greasy

34
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:34,640
it would be kind of hard to tell the difference okay it's got i've got a

35
00:02:32,319 --> 00:02:38,239
matte finish matte finish on the series six

36
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:42,959
other than that these things are darn near identical you got the one button

37
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:47,599
you got the crown you still got the little red accent on the crown

38
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:52,720
same watch strap attachment mechanism i love that this is tool-less like that is

39
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:56,560
a that is a big deal not having to fiddle around with a little weird tool

40
00:02:54,959 --> 00:02:59,200
or screwdriver or anything like that like why did that take the watch

41
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:03,519
industry you know 200 years or whatever one other

42
00:03:01,519 --> 00:03:07,440
key giveaway actually is if you look at the sensor array on the back it does

43
00:03:05,599 --> 00:03:11,120
look a little bit different so the series six uh the altimeter is obviously

44
00:03:10,239 --> 00:03:16,480
not uh something that needs to go right up against your skin but the blood oxygen

45
00:03:14,159 --> 00:03:20,959
monitor presumably is part of this new and updated looking sensor array there's

46
00:03:18,640 --> 00:03:25,280
some software updates too first let's pair it to the phone though start

47
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:29,360
pairing i love this process so much oh that's cool so set up for a family

48
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:34,400
member this is interesting one of the new software features that they launched

49
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:38,400
with the series 6 is the ability to buy an apple watch for your kid

50
00:03:36,879 --> 00:03:41,680
instead of having them equipped with a cell phone and then you can set it up as

51
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:45,519
a managed device i thought that was pretty neat

52
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:49,599
i love this this is apple's fancy qr code it's wonderful oh got a teams

53
00:03:47,599 --> 00:03:53,760

60
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:22,479
let's actually talk about the apple watch sc so it replaces the series five

61
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:26,800
in their lineup it comes in a little over a hundred dollars cheaper than the

62
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:32,320
series six and the main difference is that it uses the older s5 processor it

63
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:36,320
does not have the new blood oxygen tracking feature although it does have

64
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:42,560
the altimeter and where the series 6 gets a brighter always on display the se

65
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:44,880
does not have always on display at all

66
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:49,520
so in my honest opinion apple shouldn't call this the apple

67
00:04:46,639 --> 00:04:55,120
watch se they should call it the apple wrist ornament that is blank except when

68
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:57,520
you do the silly gesture and they shouldn't be allowed to call it a watch

69
00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:00,800
at all that was one of the big things that made me super happy about the

70
00:04:59,280 --> 00:05:05,440
series 5 was that it finally had an always on display so if you want to save

71
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:08,639
100 bucks or so this is an option but personally i would go out and try and

72
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:12,880
find a secondhand series 5 so you get that always on display because otherwise

73
00:05:10,639 --> 00:05:16,720
the only difference here is that this one has the altimeter and the series

74
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:20,000
five doesn't so unless you do a whole lot of like

75
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:25,600
high vertical biking or or jogging or whatever else i

76
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:27,280
don't see a ton of value to it oh that's

77
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:32,479
interesting well i saw someone claiming online that as

78
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:36,479
part of apple's eco-friendly policy of not including chargers there was no

79
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:40,000
charger included but you do get the wireless like dock thing for it it's

80
00:05:38,639 --> 00:05:45,360
just that you don't get a wall warp but i actually thought there was no wall word included with the previous one so

81
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:50,240
i am uh not sure what to tell you guys about that other than that there is no wall

82
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:54,000
board included if you were expecting one but with something like the watch

83
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:58,479
honestly it doesn't really bother me that much by the time you're the kind of

84
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:59,919
person that has like wearable devices i

85
00:05:58,479 --> 00:06:04,000
would expect you to pretty much have a usb charging hub or even a wireless like

86
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:08,160
multi wireless dock sitting on your nightstand neat i haven't touched the

87
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:11,440
apple watch app in quite some time so i can change my colors

88
00:06:10,319 --> 00:06:17,440
look at that change my colors i can change the background of the watch

89
00:06:15,280 --> 00:06:22,720
face hello oh nice this unicorn is tremendous though i

90
00:06:20,319 --> 00:06:26,560
would like a pink unicorn oh you can't change the color of the unicorn only the

91
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:30,160
background dang it apple since there weren't a lot of groundbreaking hardware

92
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:33,520
updates it makes sense to focus more on the software update so there's a sleep

93
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:37,759
tracker now it'll tell you how long you were in bed and how long you slept for

94
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:42,160
although it doesn't have quite the same amount of information as some other

95
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:45,600
third party sleep tracking softwares that actually ties in really nicely with

96
00:06:43,759 --> 00:06:49,600
the slightly faster charger it'll apparently fully charge in about two

97
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:53,840
hours meaning that you can kind of um you know sip charge it here and there

98
00:06:52,319 --> 00:06:57,120
in order to try and take advantage of those sleep tracking features they've

99
00:06:55,520 --> 00:07:01,759
got some new fitness features so you can have preset workouts now and there's

100
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:05,840
apparently a hand washing timer i want to find that

101
00:07:03,039 --> 00:07:08,639
look hand washing hand washing app david apple watch can detect when you're

102
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:12,240
washing your hands and start a 20 second timer can i get some sound effects here

103
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:19,599
you're not doing well enough you're not doing a good enough job

104
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:24,080
nope uh yeah maybe it needs to get wet uh lgt

105
00:07:21,919 --> 00:07:29,520
store.com i need a water bottle here we go turning on the tap

106
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:32,960
oh slowly slowly we gotta make it last for a bit it's gotta start a

107
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:37,680
siri why is siri coming up right now yeah

108
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:40,639
we're just about out of water now oh okay

109
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:46,000
all right well it was worth the shot thanks brandon sure uh fitness plus service is coming so

110
00:07:44,319 --> 00:07:49,039
it's gonna be like fitness tracking and workout videos i mean

111
00:07:47,599 --> 00:07:53,599
good luck with that let's go ahead and try the blood oxygen measurement how do

112
00:07:51,199 --> 00:07:57,280
i do it like now uh someone should strangle you

113
00:07:54,960 --> 00:08:00,400
uh wow tell me how you really feel

114
00:08:00,639 --> 00:08:06,879
oh here it is blood oxygen

115
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,879
checking my blood oxygen

116
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,160
98 percent

117
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:18,080
ow well how many is that that's going to be

118
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,080
six already

119
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:24,520
come on

120
00:08:28,879 --> 00:08:34,959
and this this is why

121
00:08:32,159 --> 00:08:39,039
my apple watch that i daily drives not connected to anything if you can't trust

122
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:44,560
it how can you make like personal health decisions based on

123
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:48,320
it if it works a third of the time my blood pressure is probably going up just

124
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:53,200
being frustrated by this thing not working right to be clear apple's not

125
00:08:50,560 --> 00:08:57,680
pitching the blood oxygen thing as it's a medical device they're just saying

126
00:08:55,279 --> 00:09:00,720
that it's like well it's there it's not like fda approved or anything like that

127
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:03,279
it's just it's in there

128
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:09,839
no unfortunately you can't that's one of the things i'd really like to see apple

129
00:09:07,519 --> 00:09:15,360
clue into at some point that customers who don't buy it right or buy

130
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:19,600
the entire ecosystem are still potential customers i would actually love

131
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:23,519
to use an apple watch with my Android phone

132
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:27,200
that could be an amazing experience there's a lot of things that i love

133
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:29,839
about what apple does and the watch is frankly one of them i mean the hardware

134
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:34,080
is just even though they've barely touched this

135
00:09:31,680 --> 00:09:38,000
design in like what five years or six years or whatever it is

136
00:09:35,680 --> 00:09:40,959
it's still so much better than what anyone who's not cloning apple is doing

137
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:44,480
that um yeah i would i would absolutely love

138
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:48,240
to use an apple watch with my Android phone so there's not a lot new here

139
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:52,000
which has some people questioning the need for apple to even continue with

140
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:55,600
annual releases but i think i can probably provide some insight into that

141
00:09:54,000 --> 00:10:00,959
one of the things that we've discovered running lttstore.com

142
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:03,200
ltdstore.com is that one of the best

143
00:10:00,959 --> 00:10:08,000
promotional things that you can do is launch a new product it works way better

144
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:12,640
than offering a discount or a shipping promotion or even like conventional

145
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:16,160
marketing because that's what gets people interested in talking like what's

146
00:10:14,399 --> 00:10:20,880
new not like what already existed but is probably a

147
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:24,480
good product and good value so even though the new apple watch just has a

148
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:29,680
slightly better processor slightly brighter ambient display it's about the

149
00:10:26,959 --> 00:10:32,720
same price so yeah i guess better is better not going to complain about it

150
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:36,480
and i understand why they're doing it so that we'll all talk about it because i wasn't going to make another video about

151
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:41,600
the series 5 right and yet here i am with the series

152
00:10:38,560 --> 00:10:43,279
6 even though it's like eh

153
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:48,560
and the sc yeah but the sd doesn't have an always on display so it's not a watch

154
00:10:45,680 --> 00:10:52,640
yeah it's the stupid gesture nonsense again so subscribe to ShortCircuit for

155
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:57,120
more casual videos like this where we you know go through

156
00:10:54,240 --> 00:11:01,360
hand washing simulation hand washing simulator here let's try

157
00:10:58,839 --> 00:11:03,600
again no we're not going to try that okay i'm going to try i'm going to i'm

158
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:08,000
going to try it one more time one more time without the water you ready david yeah jono can you do the sound effects

159
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:12,079
for me hold hold on hold on

160
