A conservative design, new sensor and new colors Regarding the aesthetic section, Apple this time did not want to dare to change the design to resemble the iPhone 13 or iPhone 14 with squared edges. In this way, the design that was seen in previous generations is still maintained. Regarding the aesthetic section, Apple has opted for three new colors: gold, gray and silver. In addition, it will be accompanied by three new dials, as well as exclusive Hermés straps in a wide variety of colors so that it can be combined perfectly. This watch is designed for the general public, as it has similar features to its predecessors in terms of health and sports. Although, it should be noted that it is not ready for the most extreme sports exercises, being for this case the Apple Watch Ultra. But what could be expected the most, without a doubt, is the improvements in health. To the functions that we already had present, such as the heart rate sensor, blood oxygen saturation or the possibility of performing electrocardiograms, a new one is added: the temperature sensor. With this you will be able to have a constant monitoring of body temperature. This information will be able to be complemented with the rest of the sensors in order to provide precise information on the user’s health status. In recent years, this has been a vital constant that has undoubtedly taken a lot of strength to be able to identify if there is some kind of problem in the body such as an infection. Although, this information will always have to be interpreted taking into account all the environmental conditions. But the novelties in sensors do not stop here. Apple has added two new motion sensors: a 3-axis gyroscope, a high-force accelerometer that measures up to 256G. This has a mission: to detect the collisions that can be had with the car from the front, rear, side and even rollovers. In this way, the watch will be able to notify the emergency services in the event that you have some type of accident to receive immediate medical attention. And if autonomy is a problem for you, this Apple Watch maintains 18 hours of battery life, but presents a new low consumption mode that promises to extend it up to 36 hours, but without impacting the user experience. A section dedicated especially for women This Apple Watch stands out for adding new functions that are designed especially for women. Three years ago the possibility of registering the different events in the menstrual cycle was added. On this occasion they wanted to go further with the ovulation function. After making the corresponding configuration, the watch will be able to send notifications when you are ovulating thanks to new temperature sensors that are integrated into this Apple Watch model. With these, the basal temperature will be taken every 5 seconds at night and it will be interpreted by the watchOS 9 algorithms. Without a doubt, a great function that can be applied to those women who are thinking of becoming pregnant and want to know specifically what day it is. more suitable to be able to carry out fertilization when ovulating.
