| - | [* black] Just checking to actually have purchased a new Apple Watch ([guide|130132|it all looks so alike these days|new_window=true])—yep, new model number A2376. |
|---|---|
| - | [* black] To our surprise Apple has upped its game on the security front and integrated a new display opening mechanism on the other band slot—a miniature combination lock. ALTERNATIVELY: We figured out that entering the konami-code via the crown makes the display pop up. |
| - | [* black] Just kidding. It’s the same procedure as every year—you know [guide|113044|the|stepid=216162|new_window=true] [guide|126205|drill|stepid=243599|new_window=true]. |
| - | [* black] But when we tried to flip the display open we noticed something that reminded us of the evolution from the iPhone 6 to the [guide|67382|iPhone 7|stepid=136511|new_window=true]—the display opened towards the side and not up/down (depending on how you wear the watch). |
| + | [* black] Popping off the stretchy watchband, we confirm that this is in fact a new Applw Watch—model number A2376—and not [guide|130132|a familiar one] painted blue. |
| + | [* black] The other band slot features—PhotoShop! Don't worry no locks here just yet, just the same ol' opening procedure we perform [guide|113044|every|stepid=216162|new_window=true] [guide|126205|year|stepid=243599|new_window=true]. |
| + | [* black] But wait! Looks like the Series 6 is taking after the [guide|67382|post-6s iPhones|stepid=136511|new_window=true]—the display opens like a book and not vertically (depending on how you wear the watch). |
| [* black] Also different in this years edition is the lack of a force touch gasket. Since the Series 6 comes with Watch OS7 pre-installed there is no need for it because it’s now depricated. | |
| [* icon_note] We guess nobody will miss the actual "pressure"-function of the force touch gasket and can get along with the long-press alternative. We sure are happy to see a fragile part gone that was prone to damage when opening the watch—nice job ~~Steve~~ Apple. |
