When the Apple Watch Series 3 was released back in September of last year, there’s no doubt that the company had one thing in mind: to make it the best fitness tracker on the market. With the addition of LTE and an improved heart rate monitor, the watch had seriously upped its game from the Series 2, standing it in good stead to be an exercise staple.
“HEY SIRI, LET’S GO FOR A WALK.”
With the Series 3, users can finally work out without being confined to the shackles of their smartphone. Asking Siri to start a workout session is by far the easiest way to achieve that get up and go and can be done by simply holding the digital crown at the side of the watch, raising your wrist and saying “Hey Siri” to activate. Siri can start specific workouts whether you want to specify a time, distance or a specific calorie goal.
Another thing the Apple Watch must be commended for is its ability to encourage you to complete your daily goals. The Activity app encourages you to get moving via a notification that summarizes your activity the day before and prompts you to beat your score. This little extra push can sometimes be just what you need so that you don’t miss your weekly workouts. You can also share your workouts with your friends who also have Apple Watches, adding a fun and competitive element to everyone’s fitness.
For those who want to make the most of the Series 3, we’ve rounded up the device’s best fitness features.
AN IMPROVED HEART RATE MONITOR
The Apple Watch uses something called photoplethysmography to measure your heart rate. Green LEDs on the underside of the device’s wristband will track how your capillaries change size when under pressure. When your heart beats, your capillaries expand and contract depending on your blood volume changes and said LED lights track this.
