Apple Watch 6 vs Apple Watch 5: Buy now or wait to upgrade? - Tom's Guide

Here's how the Apple Watch 6 is shaping up against the Apple Watch 5 based on every leak we’ve seen so far.

If you’re searching for the best smartwatches to buy, you’ll want to consider weighing the Apple Watch 6 vs Apple Watch 5.

The last thing you’d want is to buy the Apple Watch Series 5 now, only for the Apple Watch 6 to feature significant upgrades at the same price point.

The Apple Watch 6’s key advantage over its immediate predecessors is its new chip, which could finally bring the 24 hour (or longer) battery life we see on Apple Watch competitors.

For the larger 44-mm version, you’re looking at paying $429 or $520 with LTE before any of the best Apple Watch deals.

The look of the Apple Watch hasn’t changed in five years, and we don't expect it to change now.

When Apple announced the Series 5’s 18-hour battery life, we were a little disappointed it didn’t receive a significant stamina boost over the Apple Watch Series 4.

The Apple Watch 6 will likely fulfill those desires, part due to annual innovation and part due to it simply being time for Apple's wearable to last at least two days on a single charge.

The Apple Watch 5 is water resistant at up to 50 meters, so it will be interesting to see how Apple will improve the Watch 6’s durability.

Because of its affordable price, the Apple Watch Series 3 is considered one of the best fitness trackers you can buy, but the Series 5 is the better choice if you’re looking for an activity smartwatch that will last you years to come.

The hardware upgrade you’re likely to get with the Series 6 is a pulse oximeter, or blood oxygen detection (SpO2) sensor.

While the SpO2 might provide more snooze metrics to Apple Watch 6 users, there is likely plenty of data that can be derived from what’s available on the Apple Watch 5.

Get the Apple Watch 5 if you want to own the best smartwatch and fitness tracker right now for everyday use.
