As expected, Apple has announced the new Apple Watch Series 6, which continues the company's yearly cadence of iterative updates.

Health has always been a focus of the Apple Watch and other wearables, and at minimum you can typically expect there to be a built-in heart rate monitor on today's smartwatches and fitness bands.
