Apple Watch OS
Apple has officially released its WatchOS 5 for its Apple Watch lineup. WatchOS 5 bring some huge changes and additions to the Apple Watch. There’s a new walkie-talkie mode, improved health-tracking features, and more — all of which is set to show up on the recently announced Apple Watch Series 4.

Apple is putting a huge emphasis on accurate fitness tracking in WatchOS 5. The company studied more than 7 terabytes of fitness data from more than 12,000 participants to make sure the Apple Watch is able to deliver the best tracking measurements.

It's celebrating by including some new exercise-focused features in WatchOS 5. Users will find a new competition mode in WatchOS 5 that allows them to enter a seven-day competition with a friend. They can track both their own and their friends' progress during the competition and the winner will win an Apple Watch award.

WatchOS 5 also features new fitness modes. Yoga mode will track user's activity via the heart rate monitor, and a Hiking mode will use their pace and elevation to better determine the number of calories burned. Runners will see improvements, too, as the Apple Watch now offers a custom pace alert, tracks their cadence, and even provides time data on the previous mile run while they are running.

Finally, users will see new start and end workout alerts. WatchOS 5 will use their heart rate data to determine when they have begun a workout. When users reach a heart rate or time goal, it will offer an end alert on the home screen.

When Apple announced the Apple Watch Series 4, it said that the device would be capable of tracking both heart rate and heart rhythm, as well as performing electrocardiograms. Those features will all be on offer in WatchOS 5, but only on the Apple Watch Series 4; these features will also be limited to certain regions.
