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 anythin…

Really, though…
I often read about us watch nerds wearing an AW only for workouts and then switching to a regular watch for of the day.
Airpods Pro 3 can track workouts now, including motion metrics and optical heart rate data.

Asking for my wife… In fact, she asked me to post on her behalf.
Continue readingMy wife is in the market for an Apple watch. She’s a new mom, and believes having a smart watch will help manage texts/calls without needing to always have her phone. What’s the best Apple Watch on the market for the money? She’s researched the SE 2nd Generation and Series 10. Any advice?
I told her not to get one but if it makes her happy… maybe this will help me get my next watch 😂.
watchOS 26, Workout Buddy, cringeworthy or how did we live without this?
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.
