Apple Highlights Apple Watch Series 6 Features in 'The Future of Health is on Your Wrist' Ads

Monday February 22, 2021 9:11 am PST by Juli Clover

Apple today shared new Apple Watch ads on its YouTube channel, highlighting the water resistance, ECG, and sleep tracking capabilities of the Apple Watch Series 6.

Watch on YouTube

The short 38 second ads each focus on a specific Apple Watch feature, with a narrator explaining how the Apple Watch works under water, when taking an ECG, and when being used for sleep tracking.

All of the ads feature the tagline "The future of health is on your wrist" and link to the Apple Watch Series 6 website.

Apple has not heavily advertised the Apple Watch Series 6 since its September release, and this is the first ad campaign focused on the Apple Watch that we've seen in recent months.

The sleep ad was great. Except one tiny detail - seriously, how can anyone sleep with a watch? I've tried - it is so incredibly annoying and cumbersome. 🤷‍♂️

I'd love to use a soft, elastic, breathable and screen-less smart-band for sleep monitoring / silent wake up though.

I sleep with mine on every night. You get used to it, at least Ii did.

I have been able to sleep with mine every night since getting it. Never really put much thought into it. I actually have made a habit to turn on bedtime mode manually too. You get used to it I guess?

Hmmmm. The person who thinks they know what Tim Cook cares about says my post lacks an argument. You got me there.

And how’d you know about my “early erecting state?” That’s rather personal.

Hey, if (s)he knows what Tim Cook cares about, it isn't a stretch of imagination to know personal details about MacRumors forum members...

Your post Lacks an real argument. You are new to a gimmick and love to explore it - nothing wrong with that.

“healt monitoring trends over time“ - lets talk in a year when you early erecting state is lowered and your watch is just a nice phone companion for alarms - and even that isn’t working properly.

why the heck is this thing not muting the watch when i am in a meeting and unmuting when leavin the meeting room?

And yet my series 6 tells me I’m at 8000 ft when I’m actually at 100 ft. Talk about technology.

That’s what the warranty is for.

But Tim’s money is in health - he doesn’t care about use-cases - only greed!

I'd ask "Source?" but I have no clue what your unsubstantiated post is really getting at anyway.

Cook has stated that he thinks health will be Apple's "greatest contribution to mankind." That they can make money on it is neither here nor there.

People can agree to disagree on what the focus of the Watch should or shouldn't be, but having my S6 for a few months now, I'm inclined to agree with Cook. The Watch does a lot of cool non-health-related stuff, and I am regularly amazed by new features as I find them... maybe they should advertise that "other" stuff more. But IMHO the "killer app" is still the health monitoring and trending over time. That will only continue to get better as sensors are added and software is improved etc.
