Why Apple Watch
It’s 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 a fitness partner that measures all the ways you move, meaningful health insights, innovative safety features, and a connection to the people you care about most.
Fitness and Activity
Move. Exercise. Stand.
Reach your goals, one ring at a time.
Activity rings show your daily activity, including your active calories, total steps, and workouts completed. Make it your goal to close your rings every day. To keep you motivated there are awards, personalized coaching, and Activity competitions.
Measure all the ways you move.
From strength training and HIIT 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.
Built to go the distance. And depth.
Designed for every kind of outdoor adventure in and out of the water, Apple Watch is perfect for hiking, biking, running, swimming, surfing, and those occasional water balloon fights. And with Apple Watch Ultra 2, you can snorkel, scuba dive, and freedive down to 40 meters.1
Health and Safety
It has your heart in mind.
Unusually high or low heart rates and irregular heart rhythms (known as arrhythmias) could be signs of a serious condition.2 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.3 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.
The Sleep app not only tracks your sleep, it works with your iPhone to help you create a bedtime routine and schedule. And you get deeper insights into your sleep stages during the night.
Emergency services when you need them.
Apple Watch can detect if you’ve been in a severe car crash or taken a hard fall and connect you with emergency services, share your location, and notify your emergency contacts.4 And with Apple Watch Ultra 2, you’ll be equipped with an 86-decibel Siren that can be heard up to 600 feet away.
Connectivity
Stay in touch from your wrist.
Text, make calls, and listen to music with ease. And with available cellular, you can do it all without your phone,7 even when you’re out of the country. It makes leaving your phone behind something you can do on purpose.
Keep track of your daily tasks.
Quickly access the latest information from your favorite apps, like Calendar, Mail, Weather, and more, with Smart Stack widgets. You’ll get upcoming meeting reminders, the day’s weather forecast, and even be notified when it’s time to leave for your lunch date.
Apple Watch For Your Kids lets everyone in on the fun.
With Apple Watch For Your Kids, everyone in the family can have an Apple Watch, even if they don’t have their own iPhone.8 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.
No more hide-and-seek with your phone. Or AirPods. Or...
Ever lost your phone knowing it’s probably 10 feet away? The Find Devices app helps you quickly locate your lost Apple devices. And with the Find Items app on your watch and Precision Finding on your iPhone,9 you’ll always know where your AirTag-connected belongings are located.
