watchOS 9: New watch faces, updated workout app, improved sleep monitoring and medication

Another new version of the system at yesterday's Apple WWDC 2022 conference was watchOS 9.

What's added

So, six new dials have been added to the software.

Also, the developers have updated the application for training. For example, we added the ability to track stride length, ground contact time, and vertical oscillation while running. All of this data will be displayed on multiple screens during your workout. You can switch between them using the wheel. Digital crown. 

Apple has also updated sleep monitoring modes. They became more informative. For example, users will be able to view sleep phases, their duration, and other useful information.

WatchOS 9 also added a history of atrial fibrillation (AFib). It can be downloaded as a PDF file and sent to the doctor.

Another useful innovation of the new OS was the "Drugs" section. It will be possible to track the intake of medicines, vitamins and supplements.

When to expect

The stable version of watchOS 9 will be released in the fall. If you do not want to wait, then you can install a test build of the software right now.

Recall that Apple yesterday introduced iOS 16  and macOS Ventura.
