Apple announced a host of new features for
watchOS 9 during its WWDC 2022 event, including improved running tracking,
heart-rate zone tracking, and custom workout creation.
Runners will
be especially pleased with this update. The Apple Watch will be able to track
running metrics like stride length or ground-contact time. It will also
automatically track your most common routes and let you race against yourself,
alerting you as to how you can beat your best time. It will also let you set a
goal for your run, so your watch will keep on pace with alerts and metrics as
you go. For those of you who do not love to run, Apple announced a bunch of
other updates for all kinds of workouts. For triathletes, for instance, the
Apple Watch will use motion sensors to automatically change how it tracks each
kind of activity running, swimming, or cycling then give you a detailed,
specific readout at the end of the workout.
Or if you are
a big swimmer, Apple Watch will be able to give you a SWOLF score, which is a
stroke count combined with the time it takes to swim the length of the
pool. Or, let's say you are overly concerned with how hard you
are working out. The heart-rate zone tracking feature will help you track
intensity. If you have ever taken a class at Orangetheory Fitness, this is a
familiar concept. But effectively, it can be used to build a difficult and
well-rounded workout. Along with the fitness updates, Apple announced several
health updates to the Watch, including more detailed sleep tracking and AFib
tracking.
Watch users
will be able to track things like REM, core, or deep sleep in the Sleep app, as
well as detailed info like time asleep, heart rate, and respiratory rate. The
health app will even create charts tracking this info over time. The Apple
Watch will also now be able to track a user's AFib history. Apple Watch's ECG
app and irregular rhythm notification system can alert folks to risk of AFib,
which is a condition that can lead to a stroke.
