One of the features Apple brought to the Apple Watch a while back was ECG monitoring. Unlike the heart rate monitor, the ECG monitor attempts to check your heart rate for any irregularities, which could be a sign of something wrong. However, given that this is classified as a medical feature, it wasn’t available worldwide when it launched.
When Apple first launched the Apple Watch, it was the first Apple product to feature the use of Force Touch, which for those unfamiliar is a pressure-sensitive technology that offers up different modes depending on how hard you press on the screen. However, it seems that with watchOS 7, Apple has effectively removed the feature for good.
For some odd reason, Apple Watch users could never stream Spotify directly from their smartwatches. However, for those who might appreciate such a feature, you’ll be pleased to learn that Spotify seems to be testing out the ability, although right now it doesn’t appear to be available for all users.
Over the years, Apple has introduced new health tracking capabilities to the Apple Watch. This came in the form of an ECG monitoring tool and with the Series 6, they also introduced blood oxygen monitoring. Now it seems that in the future, there could be an Apple Watch that could come with asthma monitoring.

The other day, Apple officially announced the Apple Watch Series 6. The smartwatch is priced starting at $399, which isn’t the cheapest smartwatch we’ve seen, but we have some bad news. This is because it has been discovered that Apple will not be shipping a power adapter with the Apple Watch Series 6.
It has been rumored that Apple has been planning to launch a fitness subscription service. It seems that the rumors were right on the money as Apple has since officially announced Apple Fitness+. This is a fitness video training subscription service that Apple claims will introduce new workout videos every week.
The Apple Watch is not exactly cheap, and we have been hearing rumors that Apple could actually be planning a new and more affordable Apple Watch. It turns out that the rumors were partially right as Apple has since officially announced the Apple Watch SE, which sits between the Series 3 and the Series 6.
Apple has announced their latest Apple Watch in the form of Series 6. As per the rumors, it seems that Apple has not updated the design of the Apple Watch, but it seems that the selling point of the Series 6 would be the introduction of a blood oxygen monitor that helps you keep track of your respiratory health.
When Apple introduced a change in design to the Apple Watch, it was with the Apple Watch Series 4. Now that the Series 6 is going to be announced in the next couple of hours, we’re sure some of you are hoping that the Series 6 will be bringing about a new design as well. Unfortunately, you might be disappointed.
The Apple Watch has saved quite a number of lives over the years, although it was done mostly through the heart and ECG monitoring feature that alerted the wearer to potential health problems before it became too late. Now it seems that the Apple Watch has saved yet another life, but in a different way.
Apple has kept its Series 3 Apple Watch around despite the newer Series 5 having been released. This is meant to act as a more affordable version of the Apple Watch for those who want the smartwatch but don’t want to spend too much money on the new model, but the Series 3 is expected to be retired soon.
Earlier last month, Google announced that they would be bringing its Google Maps app back onto the Apple Watch. For those who were excited by the news and have been looking forward to it, you’ll be pleased to learn that Google Maps is now available (again) for the Apple Watch in the latest update to the app.
