Ever since the launch of the Apple Watch in 2015, I have been a loyal user of the Apple Watch Ultra. It has been a constant companion in my fitness journey, helping me achieve new goals each year. From running longer distances to lifting heavier weights, the Apple Watch has been instrumental in my progress. In fact, it even played a crucial role in identifying a heart issue that would have otherwise gone undetected. Despite its many benefits, there has always been one major drawback – its inability to understand the concept of rest. Apple Watch’s biggest issue Imagine this scenario: You have just completed a challenging 10k run and your muscles are screaming for rest. You know you need to take it easy the next day, but your Apple Watch is relentless in its reminders to keep moving. It's not just about intense workouts either. Sometimes, a rest day is necessary for recovery or when dealing with minor injuries. Unlike Fitbit trackers that provide a Daily Readiness Score based on various factors like sleep, workouts, and muscle fatigue, the Apple Watch falls short in this aspect. The idea is simple, but the execution is much smarter than I am Why watchOS 11 will fix this problem The upcoming watchOS 11 introduces two new features to address this issue. The first is customizable Activity Rings, allowing users to set personalized activity goals on a daily basis. This flexibility is beneficial for those with varying schedules or commitments. Another new feature is Training Load, which helps users understand the impact of their workouts on their body over a specific period. By analyzing data from cardio workouts and other variables, users can adjust their workout intensity levels for optimal results. With these enhancements, users can expect a more balanced and personalized fitness experience with their Apple Watch. No more late-night reminders to close activity rings, just a smarter approach to training. Related reading:
