Apple’s WWDC 2024 is in full swing, and theApple Watchis getting some fun and handy new updates! Say hello to the brandnew Vitals appand a cool AI-powered feature that picks the best photos from your gallery.
But the most exciting update is all about training. Your Apple Watch will now rate your workout efforts based on your age, weight, heart rate, and more. Using these stats and machine learning, the wearable will give you an effort score after each workout. And since effort is a personal thing, you can also set your perceived effort manually.
We’ve seen this feature in other wearables likeGarmin watches, and it’s a fantastic way to train smarter and keep your workout log organized.
Another neat addition is a feature that makes it easier to skip workouts without breaking your streak. You can now pause your rings in the Fitness app for a day or even a week so you can enjoy your holiday without stressing about missing your fitness goals.
Of course, some might use this feature to skip workouts just because, but let’s hope most will use it wisely!
