Tips & Tricks for Your watchOS 7 Wearable

The current public beta version of watchOS 7 is really impressive and feels stable, especially considering the fact that this is the first open beta of the platform. Because of this, issues might get build-up, and Apple might have to repair your watch to bring it back to its normal functioning. So, we won’t straightforward recommend you to jump in until we make sure that it won’t create any issues for you.

Check Out the All-New Watch Face

This year’s watch face is the Chronograph Pro. It has a Tachymeter, along with more complications for the larger displays of Apple Watch. It will not be up to everyone’s tastes, as the face itself is just as customizable as any other feature.

Share Your Custom Watch Faces

If we talk of the customization, now users can share their tailored watch faces directly from their wrist. In case you got a compliment from your known ones over your looks, you can just click an openable link from the screen of your watch face selection.

In case the person who is downloading the face does not have the required app to complete the look, they’ll get prompted for downloading the respective apps. It is a fun way to share your setup in a very easily downloadable manner.

You can even post these links online, which can essentially create a watch gallery.

Multiple Complications per Face

Even though the options are limited, yet the Apple Watch now supports multiple complications from the same app. You can have “Mobile Data” and “Battery” from Controls app. You can have different weather forecasts, multiple to-do lists, and more. All this is a bit limited at present, but it will give more impressive watch face diversity.

Chat to Your New Siri

Siri has got a little more advanced in iOS and iPadOS. It will now respond to your queries more quickly and will offer a cleaner appearance. One of the most impressive updates is over the Siri translation, which will now be translating sentences or words for over 10 languages.

Enjoy a Speed Boost

The watchOS 7 feels a lot faster than its previous versions. In case you press the button on the side before to wake up your screen, then before pressing it for another time to get to your Dock, you will be impressed and surprised at the same time to find that your watch no longer requires button press for the second time. This denotes that you can simply press your Digital Crown for getting straight into the menu, rather than needing to press the button twice to get there. That might sound like a minute change, but for the fluency of the operating system, it makes a big difference.

The Fitness Application

The Activity app is now “Fitness”, with a handful of new workout options added to it. For one, “Dance” is now a workout type. You can also opt for, “Core Training”, “Functional Strength Training”, and a post-workout “Cooldown”. The Fitness app also shows the majority of your data on the front page of the iOS app, which saves your time searching through various tabs.

Get Some Rest

Finally, Apple has added up the Sleep Tracking feature to the Apple Watch. This app feeds back into your iPhone’s Health app to show you the results of how well you are sleeping, which is totally based on the minor movements while you are asleep. It might not be as deep as other sleep trackers, but it does offer a handy feature named “Wind Down” which helps you to prepare for sleep and sets a predetermined bedtime in order to prevent notification.

The battery life of Apple Watch isn’t great for using overnight, but the new prompt feature will prompt a window indicating you to charge your battery once it is under 30% while your bedtime is approaching.

On Your Bike

This year Apple Maps has got significant upgrades across every of its platforms including the watchOS. There is a new feature this time, and that is the addition of cyclist-friendly routes, along with the well-improved bike directions. This means you will more easily be able to track the bike lanes, busy roads, etc.

New Fitbit Sense Features Could Surprise You

There are three new sensors that have been added to enhance the technological versatility of the smartwatch from Fitbit. The sensors that have been added include temperature, ECG, and stress. The added sensors enable the smartwatch to perform various features that would actually blow your mind.

Stress

The stress sensor examines your skin and can tell you the level of stress you are facing. The stress sensor will work on the principle of Electrodermal activity, and the sensor is actually called a galvanic skin response sensor. ECG sensor is nothing new and has already appeared in smartwatches from Apple and Samsung (Samsung Galaxy Watch 3), and the temperature sensor is akin to the Oura ring.

Temperature

As the pandemic started besetting the world, people’s demand for a temperature-sensing device increased. As a result of this, paranoia about a possible fever caused thermometers to get a lot of attention.

But what about a temperature-sensing device that you can wear all the time? Yes, a temperature sensor embedded in a watch gives us a promise that technology is here to take care of us in the face of an unprecedented health crisis.

However, an employee of Fitbit has stated that the idea behind the temperature sensing technology embedded watch originated well before the pandemic.

This technology can not only tell you if you have a fever but can also predict if you are to catch one.

The Oura ring that is priced around $300 has become a popular wearable device associated with temperature sensing technology, but the Fitbit Sense smartwatch works identically. It measures the skin temperature when you are hibernating and then delivers the result when you are awake. The result also showcases the alterations in temperatures of the two states (awake and sleep) if they are any.

The technology works on the principle of electrodermal activity. The EDA sensor will measure a small microcurrent that will flow between the device and our hand when we press our palm against the outer rim, which in itself is used to conduct the electricity.

When we are stressed, our brain recognizes it and sends signals to our glands to produce sweat. The sweat also comes from our palms. Although the quantity is minimal when compared to physical exertion, there is a small amount of moisture that alters the conductivity of the skin.

The EDA app takes the reading, processes it, and shows us the result.

The Fitbit’s app is not similar to the relax app that is found in the other gadgets. The later mentioned app uses Heart Rate Variability (HRV) to determine your well-being. The Relax app also advocates mindfulness.

Fitbit, up until now, has not made any mindfulness and features app, but it is planning to do so.

The EDA app does require an uninterrupted duration of two minutes, during which you have to press your palm against the outer rim.

Electrocardiogram

The Fitbit smartwatch has an ECG sensor that is one lead and works when you pinch your finger against the edges of your watch. It completes a circuit, and a minuscule amount of electricity passes through your body.

However, the feature has not been termed reliable by the critics similar to the case of Samsung Galaxy Watch 3. It is also awaiting a pending FDA approval, which is expected to be approved this year. It is also a very primitive mimicking of ECG machines that health professionals use, and it does not predict heart attacks.

It works in a similar way as Apple, Samsung, and Withing watches do. It examines your heart and looks for any Atrial irregularities.

Fitbit has also announced large-scale atrial fibrillation research a few months back. The feature will also not be able to detect arrhythmia.

Other features have also been included such a Global Positioning System (GPS) tracker, SpO2 oximeter, optical heart rate sensor that promises precision at the time of exertion and hibernation.

Fitbit is also working on its premium health benefits plan, which will enable the company to make better use of the data they take from the customers. Fitbit is also working on a solution that will help them detect arrhythmia, a feature that their rival Apple watch already has.
