This story is part of WWDC 2022<\/span>CNET’s complete coverage from and about Apple’s annual developers conference. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

WatchOS 9, the next major software upgrade for the Apple Watch<\/span>, will bring many new ways to track your health. Apple previewed the update on Monday during its annual Worldwide Developers Conference<\/span>where it showcased new fitness features for runners, better sleep tracking, an app for tracking medications and new watch faces. <\/p>\n

The announcement shows Apple’s focus on health and fitness as key selling points for the Apple Watch. The new sleep tracking and running metrics should help Apple close the gap in capability between its smartwatches and rival devices from companies like Fitbit, Samsung, Garmin and Oura. The update will debut in the fall for the Apple Watch Series 4 and higher. A developer preview is available immediately, while a public beta will launch next month. <\/p>\n

With WatchOS 9, the Apple Watch will gain new metrics intended to help runners better understand their performance and reduce risk of injury. These include vertical oscillation, stride length and ground contact time. A new workout view will let you see more information at a glance, such as segments, splits and elevation. <\/p>\n

Heart rate zones will give you deeper insight into the intensity of your workout in WatchOS 9. And a new multisport workout option will let triathletes easily switch between run, bike and swim tracking. Apple is adding a custom exercise option, too, that permits an interval workout that incorporates rest. <\/p>\n
