Apple Health App Spotlights 3 Underrated Features on Watch Series 11
1 articles · Updated · Woman & Home · May 30
Three Health app tools stood out in a hands-on review with Apple Watch Series 11: cardio fitness tracking, sleep scheduling and medication notifications.
Cardio Fitness uses VO2 max from outdoor walks, runs and rides to show how heart and lung health compares with age- and sex-based averages, alongside resting heart-rate trends.
Sleep tools now show average bedtime across weeks and months and let users set a fixed schedule; Apple cited a study linking consistent sleep times to 40 more minutes of sleep and 36% less overnight wakefulness.
Medication reminders work inside the Health app without an Apple Watch, though watch alerts can make them easier to catch; some other metrics, including cardiovascular fitness, still require an Apple Watch connection.
The review argues the built-in app has become more useful as Apple expands health tracking, with another Apple Watch upgrade expected in September.
