Apple Watch 6 Release Date

 

The Apple Watch 6 & Watch 6 SE release date is set for the week commencing 7th September 2020.

With 3 weeks to go until the launch, Apple is managing to keep the leaks to the very minimum. We do know that it will run Watch OS 7 and all of the announced features for that will certainly be available in the new Watch 6.

HOWEVER, there will be additional features that can currently only be speculated on; indeed there have been no leaks on even the certainty of the shape or retention of the crown. Here is some detailed speculation of some of the extra goodies you might get. This SHOULD be a big bi-annual version update with notably better hardware, I’m even hoping that the crown will go.
