That has never happened to me: In this test, my highlight was not one of the two new smartwatches from Apple, but a 13.5 centimeter long strip of pink silicone.
Apple calls it Solo Loop. It is one of the new bracelets that the group has presented together with the new Apple Watch Series 6 and Apple Watch SE.
And the loop is soooo soft that you don't even want to take it off.
At least if it fits, which mine didn't.
And that's how I got to know Apple's cheapest gadget: A PDF form to print out, with which you can determine the circumference of your wrist, because the Solo Loops are available in nine sizes and seven colors.

Back to the topic: This time Apple has introduced two new smartwatch models, the Apple Watch Series 6 and the Apple Watch SE.
Because the Apple Watch Series 3 remains on offer, Apple now has three very different computer watches to choose from.
However, only the Apple Watch Series 6 offers real innovations, which is equipped with a sensor that enables the oxygen saturation in the blood to be measured.
This worked quickly and reliably every time in the test.
It only takes 15 seconds for the measured value to be displayed.
Apple leaves open what to do with the result, but points out that the measurements are only used for fitness purposes and wellbeing - and thus makes it clear that the sensor is not a medical measuring device.
