TheTeardown Apple Watch Series 6: Wellbeing defines the latest design evolution

IT IS FIVE YEARS since Apple launched its first Watch. Though the recently launched Series 6 family looks virtually identical to its immediate predecessor (and Watch has retained the same rectangular profile throughout), it underlines how the product has evolved in terms of its target market. Where Samsung seems to have designed the Galaxy Watch 3, which was the subject of the November 2020 issue teardown, in the aesthetic context of general upmarket timepieces, Apple matches those on price but places wellbeing at the front of its sales pitch.
