2022 was the big sporting year for the Apple Watch. A year ago Apple surprised everyone by adding many features to the exercise application and a few months later introduced the Apple Watch Ultra. At the time of the year-end financial statements, the question was whether Apple would continue its efforts over the long term or if it was just a fad.
The WWDC 2023 provided new answers that lead to optimism: watchOS 10 erases a good half of the criticisms that could be expressed in connection with the use of sports on the Apple Watch.
The Apple Watch gets (seriously) on the bike
Last year, Apple focused its efforts on running and, to a lesser extent, swimming. With watchOS 10, the bike has the right to preferential treatment. The Exercise app now supports most accessories for sports use. This ranges from speed sensors to cadence sensors to power sensors.
If the first two cost a few tens of euros on average, then the price of a power meter is not inferior to that of an iPad. Incidentally, some have already tried to find out if running sensors like the Stryd are natively managed by watchOS 10, unfortunately that’s not the case…at the moment?
