To measure it you have to manually activate it on the Series 6 and stay still with your wrist on a table for 15 seconds. The Apple Watch Series 6 has sleep tracking, a mindfulness app, a blood oxygen app that keeps track of blood oxygen levels, activity rings, and a digital crown that enables new watch faces (changes the background of your Apple device).
