WatchOS 7: All the new tricks your Apple Watch can do now - CNET

The Apple Watch ($399 at Apple) learned some new tricks in WatchOS 7.

The update includes a fresh batch of watch faces, new workout options and native sleep tracking -- the last of which has been highly anticipated for many years. .

Apple Watch users will finally be able to wear their watch to bed and track their sleep without having to download a third-party app.

Once in bed, the Apple Watch uses its motion and heart rate sensors to determine when you've drifted off and shuts off all notifications.

To track sleep, the Apple Watch needs to have at least a 30 percent charge, and it will need a recharge when you wake up.

It will be called the Fitness app on both the Apple Watch and the iPhone.

But now it will do the same when you're listening to audio through your headphones from either your iPhone, iPod or Apple Watch.

The Apple Watch uses its motion sensors (as well as the motion sensors on the iPhone) to get a picture of what this looks like over time, similar to a "6-minute walk test" you'd normally get in a lab

Apple still won't allow third-party watch faces, but there will be more ways to personalize the Apple Watch by customizing existing templates or adding multiple complications from the same app
