2022 was the big year for sports for the Apple Watch. A year ago, Apple surprised everyone by adding many features to the Exercise application, and a few months later presenting the Apple Watch Ultra. At the time of the end-of-year balance sheets, the question was whether Apple was going to continue its effort over the long term or if it was just a fad.
WWDC 2023 provided new answers that lead to optimism: watchOS 10 erases a good half of the criticisms that could be made against the Apple Watch in the context of sports use.
The Apple Watch gets (seriously) on the bike
Last year, Apple focused its efforts on running and to a lesser extent on swimming. With watchOS 10, it’s the bike that has had the right to preferential treatment. The Exercise app now supports the majority of accessories used for sports use. This ranges from speed sensors to cadence sensors to power sensors.
If the first two cost on average a few tens of euros, the price of a power meter has nothing to envy to that of an iPad. By the way, some have already tried to see if running sensors like the Stryd were natively managed by watchOS 10, unfortunately this is not the case… for the moment?
