We open the box that the intelligent men have brought us and surprise, it is a new Apple Watch! Whether it's our first watch or our fifth, receiving such a gift is always to be very nice. After the initial surprise we began to test and discover functions and features of our new Apple Watch, let's list some of the first that we can enjoy.
Spheres: to experience the colors (and the spheres)
The screen that we can look at the most in our new Apple Watch is the sphere. This will be in charge of giving us the time and providing us with information through the different complications that we can add. Among the multitude of spheres available there are many that we will test and customize:
GMT : showing us multiple time zones.
Cronograph Pro : which has been a tachymeter to calculate speeds.
Typograph : where we can choose between many fonts to display the hours.
Artist - promoting creative designs created by Jeff McFetridge.
Memoji : where we will place our Memoji and look it react when we touch the screen.
Stripes : that shows thousands of color combinations to make flags or arrogate to the colors we wear on a specific day.
How? Very easy. A long press on the screen while we see the time allows us to choose between several spheres or choose New to navigate through the entire catalog. Once we have chosen the sphere we want, we redo the long press and then we touch Edit to change its colors, complications, arrangement and display etc.
Sleep monitoring: the Sleeping app and Sleep Mode
Thanks to watchOS 7 our new Apple Watch is able to record our sleeping hours . When it's time to sleep, our Apple Watch, and also our iPhone, go into Sleep Mode, lowering the screen brightness and activating Do Not Disturb mode.
Our Apple Watch will notify us when we should go to sleep each night and each morning it will receive us with a graph in which we can see how we are doing this week . In addition to this graph we will see the weather forecast, the level of the battery and some other important information of interest. If one day we wake up before the alarm goes off, a single touch will allows us to turn it off.
Setting up sleep monitoring is very easy. We simply open the Sleep app on our Apple Watch and follow the steps on the screen.
Health: Fitness, Health and Training
The Apple Watch has a amazing vocation for health. The Train app allows us to record our training sessions. From walking, running or rowing to dancing, cycling or yoga, we will adjust the training goals by duration, calorie goal, etc.
All the information of our training sessions is saved in the Fitness app of our iPhone. From here we will consult our data, view statistics, share progress with our friends or participate in competitions.
Along machine learning and ML, the Apple Watch is able to utilize motion sensors and microphone information to recognize when we are washing our hands. Detection starts a 20-second timer, the suggested time for a complete wash . This is a functionality that we can activate in the Settings > Handwashing app .
Family setup: the Apple Watch for young and old ones
The family configuration allows us to match more than one watch with our iPhone so that all clocks retain their phone number and your personal account. So children and seniors who do not have an iPhone will enjoy the Apple Watch equally.
In this mode we will manage all the clocks from the Watch app on our iPhone. This management allows us, for example, to decide with whom our children can talk, which apps they download or limit the use of the clock during school hours . We can also use the Search app to find all devices and receive notifications when users arrive home or are not where they should be.
Thanks to the cellular connection, necessary to activate this mode, the Apple Watch is able to call emergencies in case of detecting a strong fall , an important function for the elderly. Plus, we will customize exercise and "standing" goals to keep us more active and sporty without pushing ourselves too hard. Some objectives that, in the case of children, replace calories with minutes of movement, a much more relevant fact.
