Take a minute
De-stress by taking a couple of minutes each day to clear your mind. The Calm tile features quick access to guided breathing, using minimalist visuals to signal inhales and exhales. Set your own session duration directly from the tile. Looking for more mindfulness? Use the watch app to access a range of meditation programmes.
Record your heart rate
Use Cardiogram to gather accurate data on your resting heart rate, sleep duration and more. Over time, you’ll generate a long-term record of your health. Tap the Cardiogram tile to immediately measure your heart rate. Once you’ve logged weeks or months of data, you can export it to share at your next doctor’s visit.
Bring an umbrella
SimpleWeather does more than just toss you the temperature. Its tile provides both an hourly and four-day forecast with a simple swipe right. Check the highs and lows, climate and even wind speed and direction. Tap on the tile to open the full watch app.
Analyse your sleep
Monitor and analyse your sleep, then meet the day with the help of a vibrating watch alarm and wake-up routines. With Sleep Cycle’s corresponding tile, your week’s sleep stats – like actual hours asleep and snoring – are always just a swipe away.
Track your activity
Get insights on your health by logging your physical activity, with tracking options for just about every type of exercise: cycling, skateboarding, Nordic skiing and more. Strava monitors stats like route length, heart rate and even elevation gain. Tap the tile to instantly choose your sport and start recording.
