Here's some good news for anyone in the market for a smart watch, fitness tracker, or wrist-mounted internet machine: Apple Watch Series 6 is on sale for $100 off at Amazon right now. It almost never drops that low, so now is a good time to buy if you've been on the fence. The deal only applies to the (Product)Red color scheme, but it's a great color.
Apple Watch Series 6 is the latest version of the company's smartwatch. The 40mm GPS model normally retails for $399, but right now you can get one for $299 at Amazon.
The Apple Watch Series 6 brings all the high-tech features of previous models forward and adds a handful of new hardware and software features of its own. So it still offers all kinds of internet connectivity, like letting you place and receive phone calls and send and read text messages. The always-on screen, inherited from Series 5, is 2.5-times brighter than the previous model as well.
Apple Watches are full-featured fitness trackers. They count your steps, track a range of exercises from swimming to yoga, and can periodically remind you to stand up and move around.
As for what's new in Series 6, the headline new features are all about health. You can monitor your blood oxygen level now, thanks to a new sensor. You can take an ECG anytime, if you're interested in that kind of thing. It also has a new sleep app that helps you set a nighttime routine and can monitor your rest. You can even set sleep goals for yourself, and it will track them for you.
Beyond all that, you can swap out watch bands to match your outfit or mood. They play nicely with other Apple products, like Airpods, the company's wireless earbuds. It's a good watch, and this is one of the best deals we've seen on it. Grab it before it's gone.
