Why Apple Watch

The ultimate device for a healthy life.

Apple Watch can do what your other devices can’t because it’s on your wrist. When you wear it, you get meaningful health insights, a fitness partner that measures all the ways you move, a connection to the people you care about most and advanced safety features.

Health Get notified of chronic high blood pressure.

Apple Watch can spot signs of chronic high blood pressure and notify you of possible hypertension. How? The optical sensor provides data to an algorithm that can detect potential hypertension by analyzing how your blood vessels respond to beats of the heart over 30‑day periods.2

Receive heart health notifications.

Unusually high or low heart rates and irregular heart rhythms (known as arrhythmias) could be signs of a serious condition.3 But many people don’t recognize the symptoms, so the underlying causes often go undiagnosed. Notifications in the Heart Rate app will alert you to these irregularities so you can take action and consult your doctor.

ECG on your wrist. Anytime, anywhere.

With the ECG app, Apple Watch is capable of generating an ECG similar to a single-lead electrocardiogram.4 It’s a momentous achievement for a wearable device that can provide critical data for doctors and peace of mind for you.

You snooze. You win.

All-new sleep score helps you track and understand the quality of your sleep, so you can make it more restorative. You can use the Sleep app to set up a bedtime routine with wind-down reminders. Apple Watch can even notify you if you show signs of possible sleep apnea.5

Better understand your daily health status.

With the Vitals app, you can quickly see your key overnight health metrics right on your watch — including heart rate, respiratory rate, wrist temperature, blood oxygen and sleep duration.6 For a more holistic understanding of your daily health status.

Learn more about the Vitals app

Understand your cycle like never before.

Apple Watch has innovative sensors that track your temperature while you sleep.7 Cycle Tracking uses this data to provide a retrospective estimate of when you have likely ovulated, which can be helpful for family planning.8 As always, your data is private and secure.

Fitness and Activity Move. Exercise. Stand.
Reach your goals, one ring at a time.

Track your daily activity — like how many active calories you burn, how many minutes of exercise you do and how often you stand — with Activity rings. Customize your goals for each day of the week so you can close your rings every day, or put them on pause if you need to take a break. You can also see your current step count and workouts completed for the day in the Activity app.

Measure all the ways you move.

From strength training and running to Pilates and yoga, Apple Watch offers a healthy range of ways to track your workout. And it shows your progress with advanced metrics and views like Heart Rate Zones, Power and Elevation.

Take your workouts to the next level.

Create Custom Workouts with time and distance intervals, as well as periods of warm-up, cooldown and recovery. And see what’s coming with the Up Next workout view.

A powerful tool to help you achieve your goals.

Training load helps you see how the intensity and duration of your workouts may impact your body over time. So you can make informed decisions about how and when to adjust your workouts — especially when you’re training for a big event.

Built to go the distance. And depth.

Apple Watch is perfect for hiking, biking and running as well as swimming, surfing and other water activities. The depth gauge, Depth app and water temperature sensor on Apple Watch Series 11 make it great for snorkelling down to 6 metres. Or scuba dive to 40 metres with Apple Watch Ultra 3.9

Hit the trail with offline maps.

You can see detailed hiking maps for all U.S. national parks with the Maps app. Create your own hiking routes and download them to your iPhone for easy access later. They’ll automatically download to your watch so you can even navigate offline.10

Connectivity Stay in touch from your wrist.

Call, text, pay, listen to music and more — Apple Watch makes it easy for you to stay connected on the go. And with a cellular plan, you can do it all even when you don't have your iPhone nearby.11

Stream. Download. Pay. Play. Everywhere you go.

Stream over 100 million songs with Apple Music.12 Download new apps from the App Store straight to your watch. Purchase things quickly and securely with Apple Pay. And do it all without ever having to take out your iPhone.

A great call for kids.

With Apple Watch For Your Kids, everyone in the family can have an Apple Watch, even if they don’t have their own iPhone.13 Your kids are able to make calls, text, ask Siri questions, listen to music, use apps and let you know when they arrive at a destination safely.

Say hello to Live Translation.

Apple Watch can now use Apple Intelligence from your iPhone to automatically translate messages into your preferred language, so you can stay in touch without missing a beat.14 And when you’re travelling abroad you can even download languages to your watch if it’s paired with an iPhone with Apple Intelligence, so you can use the Translate app without your iPhone, Wi‑Fi or a cellular connection — très bien.15

Available in select languages. More intelligent than ever.

The Smart Stack automatically suggests widgets to surface the most relevant information throughout the day based on the time, your location and more. So you’ll be able to wake up to your sleep score, know if rain is coming or get notified when your Uber is pulling up.

Safety Emergency assistance at your fingertips.

When you press and hold the side button, your Apple Watch can try to connect you with emergency services and get you the help you need.16

Safety features we hope you’ll never need.

Apple Watch can detect if you’ve taken a hard fall or been in a severe car crash and automatically help connect you with emergency services, share your location and notify your emergency contacts.16 And if you’re off the grid without cellular service or Wi-Fi, Apple Watch Ultra 3 can also help you contact emergency services via satellite.

Peace of mind on your wrist.

Check In lets you automatically notify a friend or loved one when you’ve arrived at a destination. You can also start a Check In from the Workout app — like if you’re going for a run after dark.

Customization Change your watch band. Switch up your face.

With watch bands in a range of styles, materials and colours, and fully customizable watch faces, you can change your watch to fit your mood or the moment.
