-The charging is definitely much faster. I don't have a scientific test as I sold my series 5 but it's definitely faster
-The screen seems to pop overall, higher contrast? Outdoor AOD as advertised is definitely brighter
-Performance is INSTANT when opening apps. Feels "snappier" over the Series 5
-Battery life is much better. I was at 36% battery remaining with 22 Hours standby, and 4 hours of usage. I definitely would have gotten 3-5 more hours over my Series 5
-Blood O2 during sleep is good to know, as with COVID it may be valuable relating to that
-5Ghz Wifi, I notice transfer of media is faster, better connection
-The Series 5 to be was basically just an AOD upgrade with little else from the Series 4 but the Series 6 feels like a true update

Note: I didn't really use my Series 5 under WatchOS 7, so it may be contributing to the differences.
