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, personalised 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 metres.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 recognise 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.
Blood oxygen. Key to your wellness.
Apple Watch features an advanced sensor and app to measure your blood oxygen levels, an important indicator of your overall wellness.3
ECG on your wrist. Any time, anywhere.
With the ECG app, Apple Watch is capable of generating an ECG similar to a single-lead electrocardiogram.4 It’s a momentous achievement for a wearable device that can provide critical data for doctors and peace of mind for you.
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.5 And with Apple Watch Ultra 2, you’ll be equipped with an 86-decibel Siren that can be heard up to 180 metres away.
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.
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.8 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 favourite 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 leave for your lunch date.
No more hide-and-seek with your phone. Or AirPods. Or ...
Ever lost your phone knowing it’s probably a few metres 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 iPhone9, you’ll always know where your AirTag-connected belongings are located.
Customisation
Change your watch band. Switch up your face.
With watch bands in a range of styles, materials and colours, and fully customisable watch faces, you can change your watch to fit your mood or the moment.
