watchOS

watchOS helps you better understand your daily health status using your overnight vitals and shows you how workouts impact your body over time.

Pause your rings

Move, Exercise, and Stand rings show your daily activity, and the goal is to close them every day. But if you need to take a break, you can now put your rings on pause for a day, week, month, or more and keep your award streak going.

More customizable than ever

Now you can adjust your Activity ring goals for every day of the week. So you get the motivation you need on the days you need it.

New ways to serve up your Summary

Add, move, or remove metrics in the Summary tab of the Fitness app on iPhone — to include what matters to you most. And check out new metrics for running, cycling, swimming, and more.

See what’s typical for you

Vitals establishes a typical range for each of your health metrics collected as you sleep. So you’ll always know at a glance how your metrics are stacking up.

Know when to pay more attention to your body

If multiple metrics are ever outside your typical range, you’ll receive a notification along with context for factors that may be involved — like medications, elevation, alcohol, or even illness. All to help you know when it’s a good idea to pay closer attention to your body.

A new tool to help athletes achieve their goals

Training load helps you see how the intensity of your workouts may impact your body over time. So you can make informed decisions about how and when to adjust your workouts — especially when you’re training for a big event. You can also see your overnight vitals for additional insights. Review your training load in the Activity app.

Track your effort

After completing most cardio-focused workouts in the Workout app, you’ll be able to review a new effort metric in the summary indicating how hard you exercised. Your pace, elevation, heart rate, and personal data like age, height, and weight are factored into each rating.

Know if you’re undertraining or overdoing it

Training load compares the intensity and duration of your workouts over the last seven days to what you’ve done over the previous 28 days. It then classifies your current training load on a scale from well below to well above — to help you understand the relative strain on your body and decide if it’s sustainable.
