Ready. Set. Know
The new readiness experience can help you determine your capacity to take on the day by providing you with one simple score. Your score is determined each morning by analysing your recent activity, vitals and sleep — and it adjusts as you go about your day. So whether you’re training for a race or juggling a busy schedule, you can spend your energy on what matters most.
Sleep tracking. A wake‑up call for your sleep. Sleep quality is influenced by factors such as sleep duration, bedtime consistency, how often you wake up and time spent in each sleep stage. Sleep score analyses these factors every night and provides a classification and a score. You’ll see how the score is calculated, so you can understand the quality of your sleep and learn how to make it more restorative.
HRV is now included in your overnight and new daytime vitals. HRV is an indicator of how your body responds to stress and recovery, with higher variability associated with better overall recovery. With Apple Watch Series 12 measuring HRV as often as every five minutes, you can spot shifts in your health even before they show up in your overnight metrics.

The more insights you have, the more empowered you are to take action. From Cycle Tracking to the ECG app and more, Apple Watch Series 12 is an advanced health tracker with in‑depth clinical validation to give you a fuller picture of your overall health.
Track and understand changes in your cycle. Cycle Tracking is with you through every stage of your menstrual health journey. Log your cycle and get predictions for your period, fertile window and retrospective ovulation estimates. Cycle Tracking can notify you when your cycle patterns are suggestive of perimenopause as well as provide support during menopause. Welcome to the new status flow.
Get notified of chronic high blood pressure. Apple Watch Series 12 can notify you if it identifies patterns of hypertension. How? The optical sensor provides data to an algorithm that can detect potential hypertension by analysing how your blood vessels respond to beats of the heart over 30‑day periods.
Measure your blood oxygen. It’s a breathtaking innovation. The Health app on iPhone uses data from the sensor in Apple Watch to enable you to take on‑demand readings of your blood oxygen as well as background readings, day and night.
Follow your heart on the ECG app. With Apple Watch Series 12 heart health tracking, you can check for signs of atrial fibrillation, or AF, right from your wrist by using the ECG app to generate a single‑lead electrocardiogram.
