In case anyone had any doubts about the possibilities that the Apple Watch offers us in our day to day, leaving aside notifications and the possibilities of interacting with our iPhone without having to touch it, Apple continues to focus on creating applications or modifying existing ones to improve our health-related data. watchOS 3 brought us as the main novelty the possibility that wheelchair users can have their activity controlled at all times. In addition, this latest version watchOS has also brought us the Breath application with which Apple wants us to avoid daily stress by breathing deeply and forgetting everything around us.

In the App Store we can find a large number of applications that claim to control our sleep cycles, an activity that for people with sleep problems and who suffer from apnea, for example, can be used to modify your sleeping habits and be able to get the necessary hours of rest so that the next day they are no more tired than before going to sleep. Apple wants to launch an application that monitors our sleep cycle at all times but is also working on an application to measure our heart rate. Although this function is already available, Apple wants to improve it and make it more useful than the current one.

These new apps could come with the release of the first watchOS update, which would be version 3.1, which is currently in the hands of developers. It must be taken into account that this application consumes the battery while it performs the corresponding measurements, so the Cupertino-based company has to optimize its operation to the maximum before launching it to avoid that at midday we have run out of battery in the Apple Watch.

As reported by Bloomberg, Apple wants to retain users of this device adding new functions and improving existing ones, in this way motivates users to have extra motivation to continue using the Apple Watch and to think about it when renewing their device for new models that will gradually offer new ones functions.
