Apple Watch smartwatches, which Apple released a while ago, have a unique mobile operating system. Thanks to this operating system, called watchOS, users are offered many device-specific features.

Watch OS 9, Watch OS’ new operating system, was introduced today at the WWDC 2022 event Apple hosted today. Let’s take a look at the features that smart watches will get with the new operating system.

What’s new with watchOS 9

If we look at the innovations in WatchOS 9, the new operating system that Apple has developed for smart watches, we see a new Podcast application with new notifications.

WatchOS 9 is inspired by elite athletes.

WatchOS 9, a must for athletes, contains stats, insights, and training experiences inspired by elite athletes. WatchOS 9, which allows you to analyze performance during exercise, helps prevent injuries while making your workout more enjoyable. With a vertical oscillation meter, WatchOS 9 can measure how much it moves up and down. WatchOS 9, which even looks at stats like stride length and ground contact time, can suggest new training methods based on this data.

Get better control over your body information with the Heartrate Zone app coming to watchOS 9.

Apple Watch users have a special training option called Heartzone to focus on key points like speed and endurance, along with distance or time intervals during exercise. WatchOS 9 keeps track of different data based on the action you’re taking at the time, while taking regular measurements like pace and heart rate.

You can compare the data obtained during intense sports with the data obtained when you do a gentle workout the way you want. In addition, the Fitness application is coming to iPhone users with or without Apple Watch. Previously, this app required an Apple Watch. With this application you can track your steps and how far you have traveled in detail on your iPhone.

What does the Sleep Stages sleep app offer with watchOS 9?

With the Sleep Stages application coming to WatchOS 9, Apple’s new smartwatch operating system, you can find out whether you’re in REM, core, or deep sleep stages. You can determine which sleep state you are in at which time interval. Apple says it wants to help the science of sleep advance, and will be able to send sleep stage data to scientists through the application.

WatchOS 9 makes it possible to track people with irregular heart rhythms.

The Apple Watch, heart rate monitor, will now alert people who will have signs of atrial fibrillation. This feature was already running in the background, but what’s new here is that people with Apple Watch will receive weekly alerts about their progress in atrial fibrillation.

WatchOS 9 keeps track of medication.

With watchOS 9 comes the Medicines application that allows you to keep track of your medicines. Thanks to the Medicines application, notifications are sent so that users can remember which medicine to take and when. This application can be viewed with both iPhone and Apple Watch. You can scan the drug label to introduce drugs in the app.

Which smartwatches is watchOS 9 coming to?

With watchOS 9, Apple will end support for Watch Series 3 smartwatches. The upcoming new operating system can be used on Watch Series 4 and later smartwatches.
