Prioritize your sleep
With the Sleep app on Apple Watch Ultra, you can create a sleep schedule, set a sleep duration goal, and review your recent sleep history. You can even see estimates of how much time you spent in REM, Core, or Deep sleep, as well as when you might have woken up. While you sleep, Apple Watch Ultra also tracks metrics like blood oxygen, heart rate, time asleep, respiratory rate, and wrist temperature. To get started, open the Sleep app on your Apple Watch Ultra and follow the onscreen instructions. Then wear your watch to bed and Apple Watch Ultra does the rest.

Get heart health notifications
You can enable notifications from the Heart Rate app on your Apple Watch Ultra to alert you to high or low heart rates, as well as irregular heart rhythms that may be suggestive of atrial fibrillation (AFib). If you have already been diagnosed with AFib, you can turn on AFib History to see an estimate of how frequently your heart is in this arrhythmia. You can also turn on alerts for low cardio fitness.

Stay on top of your medications
The Medications app helps you keep track of your medications, vitamins, and supplements. Just add your medications to the Health app on your iPhone and log them on your Apple Watch Ultra.

Wash your hands thoroughly
Turn on Handwashing, and your Apple Watch Ultra 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. Your Apple Watch Ultra uses that information to provide period and fertile window predictions. In addition to data you’ve logged, Cycle Tracking can use heart rate data to improve predictions. If you wear your Apple Watch Ultra to sleep each night, the app can use wrist temperature to improve period predictions and provide retrospective ovulation estimates.
Note: The retrospective ovulation estimates feature is not available in all regions.
