New Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4 fitness feature is surprisingly motivating
9to5Mac • • technology
Key Points:
- Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4 introduce a new built-in feature that displays live step tracking directly on the watch face, alongside live heart rate data, enhancing real-time fitness monitoring.
- Although step tracking data has been collected by Apple devices for years, this is the first time Apple has made live step count a native watch face complication, previously only accessible through apps like Fitness and Health.
- The new feature is hardware-specific, likely due to improved capabilities and efficiency of the latest Apple Watch models, and reflects Apple's broader approach to presenting comprehensive health metrics beyond just step counts.
- Users find the live step count motivating, encouraging more physical activity throughout the day, and it adds a gamified element to tracking movement, especially for those with sedentary routines.
- Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4 are currently available, offering users enhanced fitness tracking features as part of the latest hardware update.
