Get a move on Stay fit with Apple Watch

Apple Watch can track your activity and workouts, and encourage you to lead a more active life through gentle reminders and friendly competitions.

Close each ring

Your Apple Watch tracks how much you move, how often you stand up, and how long you exercise each day. Set goals in the Activity app , then check your progress throughout the day. Scroll down for more details like your total steps and distance. Apple Watch lets you know when you’ve completed a goal.

Start a workout

Open the Workout app, then tap the type of workout you want—something active like a run or swim, or maybe a more contemplative yoga or Tai Chi workout. Your stats appear on one screen so, during your workout, you can check your progress with a glance. If you forget to start a workout before a walking, running, or swimming workout, don’t worry— Apple Watch suggests that you open the Workout app and gives you credit for the exercise you’ve already done.

Focus on your fitness

In watchOS 8, you can filter out distractions with the new Focus feature. Before beginning an intense workout, create a Fitness focus on your iPhone, then turn it on to stay in the moment, allowing only the notifications you really want.

How are you doing?

Your recent activity statistics look great, but how do they compare to last year? The Trends feature can tell you. Open the Fitness app on your iPhone, tap the Summary tab, and swipe up to see where your activity metrics are headed so you can keep it going or turn it around.

Keep tabs on your health: Track important health information with Apple Watch

Your Apple Watch can help you meet your sleep goals, track important information related to your heart, check your blood oxygen levels, and encourage you to wash your hands.

Prioritize your sleep

Apple Watch can help you create a sleep schedule, track your sleep, measure your respiratory rate during sleep, then report your sleep trends over time. To get started, open the Health app on iPhone and create a sleep schedule. Then wear your watch to bed and Apple Watch does the rest.

Get heart health notifications

You can enable notifications from the Heart Rate app on your Apple Watch to alert you to high or low heart rates. The irregular heart rhythm notification on the Apple Watch can also alert you if an irregular rhythm suggestive of Atrial fibrillation is identified. Open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone, go to My Watch, then tap Heart. Turn on High Heart Rate or Low Heart Rate, then set a heart rate threshold, also turn on irregular rhythm notifications. 

Take a moment to reflect

Tend to your mental well-being. The new Reflect feature in the Mindfulness app includes written prompts and soothing, energetic animation that guide you to be more present and mindful.

Wash your hands thoroughly

Turn on Handwashing in the Apple Watch app on iPhone, and your Apple Watch encourages you to keep going for 20 seconds, the time recommended by global health organizations. Your watch can also notify you if you haven’t washed your hands within a few minutes of returning home.

Track your menstrual cycle

Use the Cycle Tracking app to log daily information about your menstrual cycle. The app uses that information to provide period and fertility window predictions. The app can also use heart rate data from Apple Watch to improve predictions.

Keep in touch: Stay connected with Apple Watch

Apple Watch makes it easy to communicate with friends, family, and coworkers, even when your iPhone isn’t with you.

Send a message, right from your wrist

Quickly respond to a message with Siri. When Apple Watch is connected to Wi-Fi or cellular, just raise your wrist and say, “Tell Julie I’ll be there in five minutes.” Or touch and hold the message to give your friend a thumbs up with a Tapback reply.

Make a call

Use Siri to help you make a quick call. With an Apple Watch with a cellular or Wi-Fi connection, raise your wrist and say “Call Mom.” If you have a Wi-Fi connection, a simple “FaceTime Mom” does the trick.

Announce your departure

Meeting a friend? Apple Watch can let them know you’re on your way. Open the Find People app and tap your friend. Scroll up, tap Notify [your friend’s name], then choose to notify your friend when you leave your location.

Care to share?

In watchOS 8 you can share any photo on your Apple Watch—a favorite photo you’ve synced from iPhone or one of several images from a Memory. Just select a photo, tap , then share via Messages or Mail.
