Apple Watch

The Apple Watch continues to be a go-to companion for fitness, health, and safety — especially for those who use an iPhone. Apple has made it easier to stay on top of your fitness goals, monitor your well-being. Here are some key tips to make the most of your Apple Watch to stay fit in 2025:

Customise your activity rings

Make your Activity ring goals match your daily routine. With customizable goals for each day of the week, your Apple Watch will give you just the right nudge when you need it most.

Share your ‘achievements’

Share your fitness journey with your loved ones or a coach to stay motivated. Notifications will cheer you on when you reach goals, finish workouts, or hit milestones. Want a friendly competition? Challenge a friend and earn points by closing your rings.

Win some awards

Want to earn some cool rewards for keeping your Activity rings closed? We’ve got you covered! You can now get milestone awards for reaching 100, 365, or even 1,000 days of consistent activity. And if you’re feeling extra competitive, we’ve also added badges for personal records and streaks. So, get out there and start closing those rings!

Keep track of cardio health

Want to know how fit you are? Measure your VO2 max during Outdoor Walks, Runs, or Hikes. It’s like a secret code to your heart health and overall fitness.

Know how much training is needed

Training Load is like a fitness tracker that shows you how hard you’re working and how your body is doing over time. It’s super helpful when you’re training for something big, so you can make sure you’re pushing yourself hard enough without overdoing it.

Use the Vitals app

The Vitals app gives you a quick rundown of your health stats while you sleep. It sends you a notification if any of your usual stats are way off, so you know if it’s stress or illness that’s causing the change.

Mental health tracking

The State of Mind feature is like a mood journal that helps you understand your emotions better. By looking at patterns, you can figure out what’s causing your mood swings, like if you’re not getting enough sleep or if you need to move your body more.
