\"WWDC22Apple revealed what it has up its sleeve for Apple Watch during its WWDC22 keynote Monday. watchOS 9 includes some fun new watch faces and various other minor additions. But the Workout app really stole the show with a host of welcome new features.<\/p>\n

Apple is taking on fitness specialists like Garmin with prosumer experiences such as Heart Rate Zone training, Running Form Metrics, Custom Workouts and Kickboard Detection for swimmers. Could this newfound interest in elite fitness suggest a rugged Explorer Edition Apple Watch<\/a> will debut in the fall?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

New features in watchOS 9<\/h2>\n

Finally, the Workout app gets some much-needed love<\/h3>\n

Since Apple introduced Fitness+ in 2020, non-premium features like logging runs haven’t seen any significant upgrades. I was beginning to worry that Apple had lost interest.\u00a0That\u2019s why it\u2019s so great to see the Workout app getting the attention it deserves today.<\/p>\n

watchOS 9 introduces Heart Rate Training Zones right there on your wrist during a workout. The new Custom Workout option is ideal for people who love to design their own interval workouts<\/a>. You can even race against yourself — a neat feature that compares how you are currently doing with your best or latest time for a frequently used route. As someone who runs the same route pretty much every day, that\u2019s a feature I personally can\u2019t wait to try out.<\/p>\n

Mobility Metrics are coming for runners<\/h3>\n

Apple has offered Mobility Metrics<\/a> since iOS 14. Stats like step length and walking asymmetry provide an early indicator of certain diseases that affect walking. watchOS 9 uses a similar technique to analyze your running style. Running Form Metrics like Stride Length and Vertical Oscillation will help users track how efficiently they run. For example, if you bob up and down too much, Apple Watch will suggest you modify your style to improve your efficiency.<\/p>\n

Automatic Multipart Workout Detection for triathletes<\/h3>\n

Multi-part workouts<\/a> are nothing new on Apple Watch. Support was added with watchOS 4 way back in 2017, allowing you to add a swim onto the end of your run, for example. But where this previously involved pausing your workout and tapping the plus button (+) to add a different activity, with the new Triathlon workout type, Apple Watch uses its motion sensors to automatically detect whether you\u2019re running, swimming or cycling.<\/p>\n

Apple\u2019s new swimming features kick ass<\/h3>\n

For serious swimmers, new watchOS 9 feature Kickboard Detection will be a welcome addition. When you\u2019re doing a kick drill<\/a> that involves holding a float with your hands, your wrists don\u2019t move much. So previously, Apple Watch couldn’t detect your stroke<\/a>. Now, thanks to tech Apple calls \u201csensor fusion,\u201d Apple Watch will log your kick drills automatically.<\/p>\n

SWOLF<\/a>, a metric much loved by swim coaches, makes a welcome appearance in watchOS 9. This measurement of your swimming efficiency was previously only accessible to those who bought third-party apps or subscribed to expensive services.<\/p>\n

From absolute beginners \u00a0to prosumers, Apple is going after the entire fitness sector<\/h3>\n

With these new high-end features, Apple has made it clear it\u2019s coming for the likes of Garmin and Strava, who serve the prosumer fitness sector. But Cupertino hasn\u2019t lost sight of the mass market. Far from it. In a surprise move, Apple is now making its Fitness app available to all iPhone users, not just those with Apple Watch. You can even access basic Activity Ring data if you carry your iPhone in your pocket.<\/p>\n

Smart new Health features could help a lot of people<\/h3>\n

As someone who went through four months of chemotherapy<\/a>, I know from personal experience just how hard it can be to keep track of what pills you need to take when. My chemo regime included five different tablets I had to take in different quantities at different times of day.<\/p>\n

I wish I\u2019d had the new Medication app in watchOS 9 and iOS 16. This simple app should ease a lot of stress for those who must manage multiple medications, by reminding them what they need to take when. And smart warnings if any meds conflict with each other could prove life-saving.<\/p>\n

\"AFib

watchOS 9 doesn’t just detect AFib. Now it helps you manage the condition, too.<\/h3>\n

I know someone who lives with a diagnosed heart condition. It can be stressful for them to get continuous AFib warnings from their Apple Watch. That\u2019s why it\u2019s so welcome that watchOS 9 offers a new AFib History mode for diagnosed patients. By tracking the condition and providing downloadable PDFs to give to your cardiologist, it could help identify modifiable lifestyle factors to decrease the amount of time you spend in AFib.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re into sleep tracking, watchOS 9 also enables you to track sleep stages.<\/p>\n

watchOS 9 offers more than just Health and Fitness improvements<\/h3>\n

While health and fitness once again dominated this year\u2019s Apple Watch announcements at WWDC, there were some other welcome updates<\/a> that weren\u2019t presented during the keynote. These include redesigned notifications and a modified design for the Dock. A new double-pinch gesture to play and pause, answer calls and take photos sounds particularly intriguing.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re looking forward to checking these out in the watchOS 9 developer beta released today.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
