Apple Watch users have something to look forward to as the next big software update, watchOS 11, is set to be released on September 16. This update will bring a host of new features to the Apple Watch, some of which are quite exciting.
One of the standout features of watchOS 11 is the ability to pause your Activity Rings. This feature is perfect for days when you need a break from your usual fitness routine due to illness, injury, or travel. Simply tap on your Activity Rings and select the “Pause Rings” option to take a break for the day, week, or month.
Another great addition with watchOS 11 is the ability to change your workout goals for different days of the week. This makes it easier to adapt your activity goals to fit your schedule and lifestyle. You can adjust your Move, Exercise, and Stand goals quickly and easily to stay on track with your fitness routine.
For those who engage in intense workouts or are training for specific events, watchOS 11 introduces a new feature called Training Load. This feature measures the intensity of your workouts and provides you with an effort rating based on various data sources. This can help you make informed decisions about your training regimen and avoid injury.
Apple Watch users will also appreciate the enhanced Remote app with watchOS 11, which allows you to control your Apple TV directly from your wrist. You can now mute/unmute, turn on captions, and even turn off your Apple TV with just a few taps on your Apple Watch.
If you use your Apple Watch for sleep tracking, watchOS 11 introduces the Vitals app, which displays key metrics like heart rate and respiratory rate right on your wrist. This makes it easier to monitor your sleep quality and identify any changes in your overnight metrics.
Lastly, Apple Watch Ultra users will benefit from the ability to customize the Action Button directly from their wrist with watchOS 11. This feature eliminates the need to use the iPhone’s Apple Watch app to change the functionality of the Action Button, making it more convenient to use.
