Apple expanded its Apple Watch family with the addition of the Apple Watch 6 and Apple Watch SE. Both watches are now available for purchase and there are even a few promos you can take advantage of.Â
The Apple Watch 6 is the new flagship Apple Watch with a new blood oxygen sensor that can track your blood oxygen level. The watch also supports Apple's new Sleep app, which is designed to help you reach your sleep goals. Â
Apple Watch 6: from $399 @ Apple Store
The new Apple Watch 6 comes with a host of new features including Apple's new S6 CPU, a brighter always-on Retina display, and new sensors to detect the wearer's blood oxygen levels. You can also pre-order the Apple Watch 6 with Solo loop, which is more of a band that you can slip on and off without buckles or straps. Â Â View Deal
On the hardware front, you get a new dual-core S6 CPU, an always-on Retina Display that's 2x brighter than its predecessor, and the option to get your watch with the new Apple Solo Loop. The Solo Loop is a seamless band that ditches the clasp and buckle. Apple Watch 6 pre-orders start at $399 at the Apple Store.
Apple Watch SE: $279 @ Apple Store
The Apple Watch SE is Apple's new mid-tier smartwatch. It's powered by Apple's dual-core S5 CPU and supports international emergency calling, fall detection, and family setup (on cellular models only). It lacks an always-on display and doesn't support the new Blood Oxygen app or the ECG app. View Deal
