Tim Cook claims that the Apple Watch is now the number 1 smartwatch in the world. He states that the Apple Watch customer satisfaction rate is of 97%. Apple’s smartwatches have helped people live a productive and healthier life. Cook plays a video featuring a number of Apple watch users telling their stories of how the Apple Watch has helped them.
WatchOS 4
Apple introduces more health focused features such as activity trainers and better support for swimming. Apple Watch is now the most used heartrate monitor in the world. The monitor will now show you even more information such as resting heart rate, recovering heart rate and much more.
Apple’s new Watch will now notify you if you have an unusually high heart rate while you don’t appear to be active. The watch will also be able to detect irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia) - a leading cause of stroke. It often goes undiagnosed but the Watch will be able to detect irregular heart rate. Apple announced ‘Apple Heart Study’ which will use data from the watch and look out for irregularities.
The WatchOS 4 has redesigned the watch face and will be available to all Apple Watch customers starting the 19th of September.
