WatchUSeek Watch Forums WatchUSeek Watch Forums

Last night, the first time using Workout on watchOS 26 for an Outdoor Run, I got what I think must be an anomalous VO2max reading and was +3.5 mL/(kg·min) higher than the previous value. It has been trending up, but I have never seen it jump by anything even approaching that much, literally overnight. Looking over the other data, average pace was slightly faster than the previous workout and average heart rate was slightly below the previous workout, but although I don't know…

Personally, I'm voting cringeworthy based on the Keynote "demo" clip. In reality it will likely be even worse. I just hope it doesn't replace Voice Feedback, which is a useful, "just the facts, ma'am," kind of feature.

Swiss brand Breva Genève was founded in 2010 by Vincent Dupontreué. At one point, the brand garnered quite a bit of attention on the independent watchmaking scene with a series of original but niche complications such as a barometer, an altimeter or even a retractable speedometer! For multiple...
