I wish Apple would combine the Fitness and Health apps into a single app. I’d prefer the training load info to be integrated into my Health app dashboard.
not everyone who wants up to date health info is super into fitness. and some meatheads don’t care about the health things apple watch says. i think it’s fine the way it is, even though i do agree
🙌🏽 great idea
I'm still waiting for an actual virtual coach as opposed to an audio recording that's the same for everyone. AN actual virtual coach that takes your bio data into account and tells you to slow down or speed up depending on your live exertion.
Please yes. These 975 scattered apps drive me crazy since day 1.
This guy help me to understand how training load is different from effort. Thanks.
Always happy to help
Awesome you get invited again Des! Great video! Can’t wait to test all this out!
Thanks Eric!
I love where Apple is going with things. Still happily using my Epix Pro but it’ll be fun to use my Ultra 1 to try out the new stuff.
Apple really just need to get to four days battery, at minimum.
Just when I thought I was done with the Apple Watch and was fully committed to Garmin. Apple add features that I was waiting for lol.
Same lol. I recently started using RunGap to get my Apple workouts sent to Garmin Connect for more analysis. These new updates will eliminate that need.
If apple and garming partnered I’d be sold
@@LucyWallace95 would be nice but they’re in competition. The Apple Watch and Garmin Fenix or Forerunner are most popular fitness watches in the world (Fitbit too but that’s more of tracking calories, steps, and sleep). I wouldn’t be surprised if Apple makes a cycling computer. They already have maps, M chips, and an ecosystem.
I was a Garmin user up to 3 weeks ago and I must share that my experience with the ultra 2 is the worse ever
Had a forerunner 935 since 2017 and I fell I downgraded with the ultra. Im pretty sure the forerunner 165 beats the crap out of the U2.
@@luisj23how so? I’ve been looking at 965 as a AW replacement.
Great video. This made me happy my husband gave me this Apple Watch 😂. I’m excited for these new features
Thanks! Some welcome new features for the Apple Watch, for sure.
Will apple overtake the Garmin !? Only thing missing is the battery life
And more buttons - at least one more would be much better for activities
@@JasonRanesesagreed. Still an issue relying so much on the touch screen if your hands are wet or wearing gloves during an activity.
@@stefanierunzI hate using the touchscreen in this regard. Even to the point on the AW using Siri to pause an activity, as one of example.
Apple should just make a mip Apple Watch and they’re golden
Yep. Buttons are far superior when tracking an activity. Not giving up my Garmin.
Cycling radar support is the only thing I want.
How would you like that to work? It would be very inefficient to have to look at a small screen on your wrist, no? Or you mean support for haptic and audio notifications?
@@User57655 haptic on the watch and and visual on the phone. You can mirror the watch on the phone when you use it for bike riding with watchOS 10. That’s very nice and practical when you mount the phone on the bike handlebars. Then you have all the live data in front of you. To really match Wahoo or Garmin it should turn by turn navigation in the bike app as well.
Did you and Ray have a words per minute contest going on your WWDC videos? Ha! Great wrapups, both of you.
Still waiting for native race route planning and active navigation 😅
@@codywright3958Still looks like it’s a jump between the Maps and Workout app for stuff like it. The maps team should just make a view possible on the workout app, like you can have for heart rate etc.
The only thing i am interested in for Apple watch is battery to compete with Garmin Fenix 7.
it wont... you compare a pure fitness tracker and a smart watch... you need to make up your mind
Wish they had live view for walking and hiking.
The Fitness app should have live view for friends currently working out. I just had a distance challenge with a buddy and it would be cool if I could see that he was out hiking currently at 10,3 km. or something like that
Thanks Des. Great video
Thanks!
Thanks for pointing out the details. I can't wait to see the training load chart on my Apple Watch face!
I’m a former distance runner who is out of shape and over weight, but wants to get back in shape. The metric I want / need is how hard and often can I run / hike / cycle without pulling a muscle in my leg and setting me back a week and a half. These heart based training load numbers really aren’t showing that. I’m actually not entirely sure what they are supposed to show, but it isn’t that. They seem very focused on optimal performance, not general health and fitness. This Apple Apple Watch thing seems maybe to be sort of a move in the direction I’m talking about?
Still won't replace dedicated sport watches for atheletes because of the battery life, but a great start to sway casual people away from spending unnecessarily on watches that they don't need. Also I really wish all the companies take temperature into account when it comes to training load. The same distance and pace in 60 degree weather is not the same in 90 degrees.
I doubt Apple is trying to get extreme athletes even though they did show those serious weather conditions last year. Apple sells tens of millions of watches every year. I wonder what the minimum number of sales they would need for a specific design?
Nicely done! The offline maps plus custom routes will be great. I would like to see support for third party routes and biking routes.
Thanks!
Awesome video as ever. The fact you now constantly get invited to these events mean that Apple are listening and wanting to improve sports tracking etc…
That ‘Pause’ Feature has the potential be very useful for watch enthusiasts who like Apple fitness tracking. Imagine pausing the stats tracking when not wearing the Apple watch, then resuming when you’re done wearing your dress watch
Watch series 10 with action button is going to be the best 🎉
I love your videos and I always learn something new like that you can have offline maps on the Apple Watch without having your phone with you. Or last year when you said the Apple Watch S8 and S9 communicate directly with satellites for GPS signal and no longer goes through the phone.
Always happy to help!
Your content is always super well explained! 💪👍🏼
Glad it helps, thanks so much!
Would love to see the training load apply to strength training. Also hoping to see a recovery metric incorporated.
Can this update replace subscription apps like Athlytic, Sleep Tracker and Workoutdoors? They are doing what third party has been doing for a while. Will be great to do a review and comparison if Apple is hitting the mark on these updates!
It can’t measure recovery when it’s on the charging stand so often! I shouldn’t have to charge my watch more than once a week
That's why they want you to buy an Ultra ;-)))
I was more interested in the Apple Watch os and damn I’m very happy
Long Awaited..... Thank God Apple..... I was so reluctant to buy a Garmin Watch and go out of Apple System. But now am very happy. Further the update in activity ring is a saviour.......
Hi , Training Load seems like it’s pretty great . I am disabled and it takes me a lot more effort to walk than someone without a disability .
Do you think this would show more of the effort I put into training ?
Also I am in the market for a new Apple Watch . What Apple Watch would you recommend for a person with a disability who wants to lose weight and track it and what I am eating ?
Looks like WatchOS 11 just made Athlytic obsolete. Very interested to see how they implement training load and recovery metrics.
I whas thinking the same thing.
I just paid for the subscription
I’ve been using Athlytic for about a year. Curious to see how it compares for sure.
Not including hrv is a big miss
Maybe the list can be edited? I would like to se Apple focusing on hrv and all the possibilities, like the Body Battery
The list isn’t editable
Hope you'll do another video to show us HOW to make these changes as otherwise, we'll just plod along doing things the way we always have....
Yup! As soon as the public beta is released
byt why is my ultra sampling my heart rate every 30 minutes or more when my Garmin is taking samples every second, what's the use of using an apple watch?
Not when you are in a workout mode
It’s to save battery life because the Apple Watch runs an insane amount of processes in the background that kills your battery. If it pulled a pulse ever second the battery would last like a hour.
When your working out it’s every second. I’m a Garmin user but checking HR every second is just over kill for sure from a day to day perspective
Apple still trying to chase Garmin... how about the battery life? :D
I tried the apple watch of my wife today to check if my garmin hrm pro+ is acting up. Both hrm reading is the same but i noticed that the hrm on apple watch has 2-3 secs delay on reading. And elevation, average speed and calories is WAAAYYY off on apple watch.
I want the apple watch tho so i can wear it casually lol 😂 maybe apple watch and a entry level garmin watch i’ll be just doin bike and run.
how can i set treadmill elevation ?
Excelente video. 👏👏💪💪⌚️⌚️⌚️⌚️
👍🤙🙌
Using double tap to scroll through workout screens is enough to make me stop thinking about selling my AWU. Stoked on this feature. 🎉
really? where did they show that you can navigate through different data screens using double tap during a workout?
The only thing I am still wishing they'd do is change what each ring equates to. Like I don't care about stands, but I'd like to have an active total calories, an overall total calories and workout related minutes for example.
I wish that they would allow us to change the rings, to steps instead of calories!
I wish you’d draw more attention to the fact that so many of these features are US only.
Its all great till you get to the battery life
My Timex Ironman gets incredible battery life. Does that make it better than an Apple Watch?
I am disappointed the Apple Watch SE first generation not getting support
To clarify, we can route maps in the watch (with previously saved routes) but can we also record/do a workout while following a route?
Just bought a Garmin Fenix 7 for the exact same features. Guess I'll send it back then 😅
The Garmin Fenix 7 has FAR superior battery life compared to ANY Apple Watch. And the Garmin has buttons, which makes operating the watch during activities, much easier when you have gloves on in the winter, or when the screen or hands are wet. The Fenix is still the better overall sports watch.
@@lennygarrison6836 but it has lower quality sensors, which imo are the most important feature of any watch.
apple watch is king for anyone who has access to an hour of electricity a day (to charge, lol)
Garmin is a far superior sports watch with some smart features while Apple Watch is a far superior smart watch with sports features. The way I use Apple Watch Ultra now is as a man over 50 with no goals other than health and being able to exercise without bringing my phone as the watch has cellular. I never do any exercise over six hours so battery life isn’t really an issue as I charge the watch every few days anyway.
Very informative appreciate the video
Anytime!
Apple has me questioning how accurate it really is. I turned cell service off my watch and distance on my runs are far shorter on Apple Watch vs when I track on phone or than what I map out.
Thanks for the video. I am wondering if the summary aspects of OS11 (training load, and effort rating etc) will pull data from activities imported from WorkOutdoors, or only in the native Workout app?
Yes I don't know why they just mentioned the offline maps feature with one sentence. It's exciting. It seems it does not support GPX import yet.
No GPX or 3rd party route support at this time but this is a start
Garmin and Athlytics (and many other similar apps) are shuddering at the announcement of WatchOS 11
everyone who has used garmin and apple products knows that they are not even in the same universe. it is like two completely different products.
AW is fine for people that are starting out and tracking their workouts and so on, but if you're trying to get serious garmin is the way to go.
@@Gufolicious That's what people used to say. The gap (Sofware wise) is getting closer and closer. Apple is making their watches more and more fitness oriented faster than Garmin can make their watches "Smart". The only thing Garmin can keep winning from Apple is probably battery life.
@@ymaizosz yup Garmin and all manufacturers of fitness wearables are getting into trouble by Apple
Not really. Athlytic has a sleep and recovery score and works with weights
Have a AW Series 5 and was going to upgrade for WatchOS11 but seeing that Strength Training was not part of the workouts theyre going to focus on. I guess i wont haha
And when is the uk gonna get cycling maps On the watch been waiting forever!
Why can’t we adjust the training and standing hours for single days but only move goal?
Still no support for broadcasting HR via BT/ANT+ to Edges and similar...? As if it was ever possible to replace a dedicated bike computer with an Apple Watch :[
Agreed 👍. Ditching the heart rate monitor would be nice.
I got the Apple watch for the ride share app like Uber. As a cyclist I prefer not to carry a heavy Iphone in my back pocket and so looked to the Apple watch substituting for that and in the event of a roadside mechanical or tubeless flat that can't be fixed I need to get a ride share home. The Apple watch don't support that app. In my opinion this is a big fail and hence I returned to Garmin. Garmin have way better metrics and battery life. if Garmin provided capacity to hail an Uber that would be great
Is there a Recovery Time app that is based on HRV ?
No
haven't seen any mention of it...guessing we *still* can't edit runs (particularly indoor runs) on apple watch like on coros or garmin?
Does the battery drain faster on the beta version?
What’s gonna happen to Whoop now that apple introduces its version of what whoop does
Vitals doesn't correlate to Whoop's recovery score however there are 3rd party apps that provide similar feedback (Athlytic, Bevel, etc...)
Is there anything at all a Garmin watch do better? Are Garmin watches still a thing? I’m on a Phoenix 5X and starting to feel “clunky”
Topo maps for Europe?
We're still missing maps on the Apple Workouts, right? Did I miss that? If I log a mountain bike ride or a run, can I log that in Strava?
I wonder if that would work with exported activities, say I sync some workouts recorded by my bike computer.
17/6.
Why can't we track reps
Very good video as always ❤from Israel 🇮🇱
Thanks!
Apple need to step up, there are still really no form for customization of how data in represents on your watch under training like Garmin: it is very hard to se the data on the screen when running! And I need pro features like Race pro ande more data to add (also like Garmin). Apple watches is still a play toy for boys,
Is this feature working on watch os 11 beta2?
I’m assuming the mapping can also be used for mountain biking trails that be correct assumption?
Only pedestrian activities like hiking, walking, and running at this time
After years I switched to Garmin a few months ago and never looked back. Mind you. I have all other Apple products from Macbook to iPhone but for serious training Garmin is the way to go.
It's getting hard to beat Apple Watch's value. $399 with offline map + music? What's the cheapest Garmin watch that can do that?
But how long can the AW do that?
Don't get me wrong, I was hella happy with my AW s5 back on the days when I was on the Apple ecosystem, but there is people that do have a lifestyle that doesn't get well along having just 5 to 6 gps hours of activity. There's people that does go on a hike very early in the morning and then continue with their day, for those by 2 pm AW will be dead.
I predict, that general AW won't support offline maps, just ultra that cost around 700-800$
still waiting for the apple watch to become round, like... a watch.
You will lose a lot of screen space if it’s round. Apple will never do that.
Yeah all these features don't matter when you are a slave to the terrible battery life. My Huawei 7 day battery says hi 😂
Which watches will this be available on?
Watches that support watchOS 18
Get a Garmin
So they just renamed RPE and TSS ?
Nope, sort of combined them in a way
Why no HRV lol, its so easy, its already reading it, other apps have it, its a big thing rn, such low hanging fruit.
Do you know if maps was added to the workout app so instead of having to go back and forth between maps and workout while you’re doing an outdoor walk or run you can see the map straight from the workout app?
It’s a separate app still
@@DesFit that stinks.
Hmmm garmin better buck up..
Definitely ahead now but but apple is coming for it..
I don’t care about any additional features as long as their battery life sucks
The mainline watches are well over one day of life. The ultra is almost 3 light days.
For a smartwatch with this much feature load, and graphics quality, that’s not bad
I still think it's insane that my nearly 5 year old Garmin Forerunner 45 has multiple features that still don't exist on my Series 8. It's pathetic honestly
On the flip side, Apple has features from their series 3 that haven’t yet made it to a Garmin device
Can we upload gpx files?
No GPX or 3rd party route support at this time
Maps are only US. So Apple bored me mutch
Add 1-2 buttons to this, improve the battery life a bit more and I ain’t touching a Garmin anymore
Ultra?
@@CorentinHarbelot the Ultra holds up 2 days max if you’re an active person. Needs to be better
@@xthereaper8434 I had a Fenix before, I miss the great battery life for sure
Nice matrix but not on par with the like of Garmin or even Coros.
Not calculated HRV during workouts or enough at day or night,is not acceptable for full fitness tracking.
For one looking for polished smartwatch this “extra” features are positive add but not much more then that.
All that without even mentioning the battery life plus AI coaching and other valuable matrix on a Garmin,
Or those that combine with the use of the HRM pro chest strap.
HRV isn't calculated during workouts on a Garmin or COROS watch.
@@DesFit
After completing a workout of Garmin AI Coach under Carts
there is a a chart called Performance Condition.
When you tap the Help above at the right corner there is a written explanation;
Performance Condition
As you track an activity with your Garmin watch, performance condition analyzes your pace, heart rate and heart rate variability to make a real-time assessment of your ability to perform compared to your average fitness level.
During the first 6 to 20 minutes of an activity, your watch displays your performance condition score. Performance condition can be an indicator of fatigue, especially at the end of a long training workout.
If I miss understood pleas enlighten
As it’s a an important info’ for many.
@@DesFit
I replied but can’t see it
so in short again:
After completing a workout on Garmin AI coach in charts there is a Chart called
“Performance Condition”
When you type above at right corner help there is an explanation like so;
Performance Condition
As you track an activity with your Garmin watch, performance condition analyzes your pace, heart rate and heart rate variability to make a real-time assessment of your ability to perform compared to your average fitness level.
During the first 6 to 20 minutes of an activity, your watch displays your performance condition score. Performance condition can be an indicator of fatigue, especially at the end of a long training workout.
If I misunderstood please correct as it’s important info for many.
From the Garmin app explanation on the app specific workout chart;
“Performance Condition”:

During the first 6 to 20 minutes of an activity, your watch displays your performance condition score. Performance condition can be an indicator of fatigue, especially at the end of a long training workout.
Hey Apple…can we start by AT LEAST getting a week of battery life??
Poor Athlytic…
I feel like apps like athletic and bevel will still be for the more data nerdy people who want to dig into insights. Apple typically doesn’t allow for much insights. Similar to how people still use sleep tracking apps despite Apple having them built in.
Am I the only one completely disappointed with with Apple fitness gives the final user?
To put things in context I own a Garmin forerunner 935 since 2017 and up to three weeks ago, I purchased an Ultra 2; I must say that I am very disappointed with the whole software from Apple regarding its fitness applications. My treadmill run was off by 1.6 km, my step count takes up to five minutes to update, no external fitness compatibility at all( hrm, treadmills, or indoor cycling) etc..
Garmin gives us way more information with way more lasting battery and a way better app with precise data.
What is with the hype, has anyone really tested out an apple watch?
An Apple Watch is a smartwatch first, sports and fitness watch second. A Garmin is a sportswatch first, smartwatch second. Each company does certain things better than the other such as Garmin having robust sports features but not the tight integration with a phone like an Apple Watch. Different priorities with each one where one may suit a certain individual more than the other.
@@DesFit very much appreciated response, I now don’t understand the hype with the apple watch variables since I had a very bad experience due to the hype ( which got me into purchasing the ultra 2) of it all but will make sure to help out clarifying the difference between the 2 platforms now that I’ve had the experience with both of them.
T
for me as a Garmin user, every information about training is important. unfortunately, I tried apple watch and they give incredibly little information. then of course there is the battery... if it doesn't last even two days with activity, I don't understand at all how it can be called a sports/outdoor watch... I have a Garmin tactix amoled and I don't care about the battery at all... Apple has priorities elsewhere and that's why they can never be a full-fledged sports partner.
We "apple fanboys" want.
🍎😁 Apple block all wear OS watches for the iPhone, that's not good for iPhones users
How 😂 about battery life. Apple Watch battery life is so so so poor.. compared to their competitors so much software new features was drained so much more battery
there are apps that all do this for years.. apple is so far behind
True most you have to pay for though, apple algorithms and the way they handle data is probably better
It’s pretty useless basically. Only rich people do the running for everyone else likes strength training. It’s not for it.
Garmin days are over with its shitty OS and hopefully Samsung copies this too so we Android users get these features too
