During this week we have seen the new Apple Watchas well as new tools such as the measurement of hypertension that will arrive thanks to the system of Watchos 26. However, it is not the only novelty, and we will have many changes if we update our watch.
Today, we will see those novelties, to be able to analyze if it is really interesting to update the Apple Watch. Everything will also depend on which we have, because not all the tools we will see will serve for older models.
News of Watchos 26
Watchos 26 arrives on September 15 And it brings several novelties that make Apple Watch more useful in health, sport and day to day. These are the main ones:
- New design “Liquid Glass”: The interface now looks more fluid and with visual effects that react in real time. It shows in the Widgets battery, at the control center and moving by apps.
- Hypertension alerts: The clock analyzes for 30 days how blood vessels respond and, if it detects high pressure patterns, warns you. It does not replace the tensiometer, but it can be an early sign to consult the doctor. It is available in the most recent models (from series 9 onwards).
- Sleep score (Sleep Score): Now you can see how you sleep, valuing the duration, regularity of schedules and interruptions. The data appears in the sleep app, in the Widgets stack or even in the sphere.
- Buddy Workout: A virtual “partner” that encourages you in key moments of your training, such as at the beginning, when reaching a goal or at the end. It adapts to your history and seeks to stay motivated.
- Smarter smart stack: anticipate what you may need and let you personalize better what widgets appear in the pile.
- Improved messages: Live translations arrive, more natural quick responses and automatic suggestions that are generated on the clock itself, without depending on the Internet.
- New spheres: Options such as Exactraph, Flow or Waypoint, in addition to a clearer and clearer gallery. There is also the Hermès Faubourg Party sphere for those who seek something exclusive.
- Clock notes: You can finally create quick notes, dictate ideas or make checklists from the wrist.
- Useful gestures: With the new “Wrist Flick” you can rule out notifications, silence alarms or quickly return to the sphere just moving the wrist.
- Small extras: Automatic volume settings according to ambient noise and calls in calls, such as assistance by waiting or filtering of spam when the iPhone is close.
Most of the functions are available for all Apple Watch that accept Watchos 26. However, some will depend on Apple Intelligence or software that only accept more recent models, so you will have to verify, according to your devices, which ones you have, and which do not.
And you, which one you like the most, or for which you are looking forward to the system version? The truth is that there are several interesting, and we will not only see a change in this regard, but also of design, with the Liquid Glassso we talk about a fairly important change in the way we use and see our Apple Watch.
