11 new WatchOS 11 features
Training load
Training load gives a visual representation of strain on the body from workouts over the last 7 days compared to the last 28 days. Each workout’s intensity will be measured by effort rating on a scale from 1-10. It will consider your age, height, weight, and workout data like GPS, heart rate, and elevation to estimate this rating. You can also change or manually enter this rating.
Vitals app
The Vitals app shows you health metrics like heart rate, respiratory rate, wrist temperature, sleep duration, and blood oxygen. It analyses these and if any of the metrics are out of their usual range, you will be informed through a notification. The app will even prognose the likely causes for this like illness, alcohol consumption, elevation, etc.
Pause Activity Rings
Apple’s Activity Ring system of health tracking can be overwhelming at times as it urges you to stick to the routine without a miss. Starting WatchOS 11, if you are not well or are out on a vacation or something, you can pause the Activity Rings and take a day off. Well, you can pause it for a day, week, month, or more.
You can also set different training goals for different days.
