REVIEW FOR USE ON PC:
Well, in terms of hardware, the device is AAA. SONY controllers have always been exceptional, but with the PS5, the company went above and beyond. The quality of materials and assembly is top-notch.

Now, regarding PC use, there is no better choice for those who want to dedicate a maximum of 20-30 minutes for installation. There is no disconnection issue, and you can easily connect up to 8 PS5 controllers if you have a group of people (like we used to do, I recommend a four-player Nine Parchments gaming night).

You will need a USB Bluetooth dongle (nowadays you can find v5.0 for under 10 euros) and a program for emulation, the DS4 (Tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xY85wugWz_w). With the DS4, you can choose profiles and use it as a PS5 controller or as an Xbox controller, supposedly for greater compatibility.
--> I couldn't find any issues with AAA titles, maybe in some small indie productions you might need to switch to Xbox mode, with just one click on the DS4.

Working: Vibration, RGB, wireless and wired connection, all buttons and axes, trackpad.
Not working: While in BT connection, the audio jack and mic on the controller don't work. If you switch to USB C, they are recognized as audio sources, but it requires some settings tweaking. Personally, I find it unnecessary on PC, but I mention it as an issue.

BUY IT WITHOUT FEAR.

Firstly, the review is for the NIKE Series 6 40mm Black/Black.

I'll start with the MOST BASIC aspect, the battery. It's the same as the previous small ones, 18-36 hours (I had series 3). For example, if you charge it to 100% at 6:00 PM, go for a game at 9:00 PM, and when you go to sleep, it's at around 70%. The next day it will be around 50-60% in the morning and by evening, you'll see it at <30%. If you want to go to the gym or do any other exercise, you have to be careful. Either charge it for 15 minutes before you leave and you're good, or go with around 25% and you'll definitely come back with an empty battery by the evening. It follows almost exactly the charging profile of your iPhone. I emphasize that in this example, I have:
DISPLAY: Always On screen, constantly connected (although mostly through Wi-Fi) and brightness at around 70%. USAGE: I only have vibration (muted), about 4-5 notifications per hour, and generally 5-10 wrist raises per hour. Around 5 short calls (per battery cycle) and maybe 30 minutes of music remote. I use my iPhone more than the Apple Watch.

If you're not already familiar with the battery profile and you had any previous activity trackers or GARMIN, etc., you will be quite disappointed. Basically, you will complain for a while.

Let's move on to the applications, voice recognition, no-phone settings, etc. There has been great progress and you can do a lot more with the watch without the phone. It understands about 90% of your Greek (but don't get carried away and talk like SNIK), the sound quality is great during calls, and in iMessage & Messenger, you can open, answer, talk, and type as if you're on your phone. There are some apps that are more limited (like Slack, Viber, WhatsApp, etc.), but at least you have the Reply option.

Regarding health, the ECG is worth it (now also available in Greece) since it may help prevent heart disease in 0.5% of users. Generally, the heart measurement is not something new, OK. However, the oxygen metering is quite sensitive in measurement and there is a significant deviation between measurements within a short period of time. It's nice though, especially if you catch COVID, you'll want it for reassurance. Personally, I use the sleep report and see if I suffocated at night and how it went when I had the lid closed. It's interesting and I recommend it.

In summary, I would say that to judge the Series 6, we need to focus on the new sensors, the "new" screen, and any improvements in the battery. I should note that with the not always on screen, you get a much better time, maybe even two days if you don't have many friends sending you links with kittens and such. It can play videos, yes. Not from links, directly in the message.

By the way, a friend who got the Series 7, I can't say that if I give him mine and put it on his wrist, he will notice a difference... I'm exaggerating, but take it as a point.

First of all, the review is for the NIKE Series 6 40mm Black/Black.

I'll start with the MOST BASIC aspect, the battery. It's the same as the previous models, lasting 18-36 hours. For example, if you charge it to 100% at 6 PM, go for a run at 9 PM, and when you go to sleep it's at around 70%. The next day, it will be around 50-60% in the morning and by evening, it will be below 30%. If you want to go to the gym or do any other exercise, you have to be careful. Either charge it for 15 minutes before you leave and you'll be fine, or go with around 25% and it will definitely be empty by the evening. It follows a similar charging profile as your iPhone.

Regarding health, the ECG is definitely worth it (now available in Greece) as it might detect a heart condition in someone. The heart rate measurement is not something new, it's okay. However, the oxygen metering is quite sensitive and there can be significant variations in measurements within a short period of time. It's nice though, especially if you have COVID, you'll want it for reassurance. Personally, I use the sleep report and I can see if I had any breathing issues during the night and how it went when I had the watch closed. It's interesting and I recommend it.

In summary, I would say that to judge the Series 6, we need to focus on the new sensors, the "new" screen, and any improvements in the battery. I should note that with the not always on screen, you get a much better battery life, maybe even up to the second day if you don't have too many friends sending you cat videos and such.

By the way, a friend who got the Series 7, I can't say that if I give him mine to hold, he would notice a difference... I'm exaggerating, but take it as a point.
