Apple has unveiled two new models of the Apple Watch: the Series 12 and Ultra 4. A key highlight of these new watches is an upgraded health tracking system. The system boasts a heart rate monitor that measures heart rate data every five seconds, a 60 times increase from previous models. In addition, the system now measures heart rate variability (HRV) every five minutes.
Apple claims the new system is the most accurate heart rate sensor in a wearable. Another feature of the health tracking system is the new "Readiness" feature. It is based on activity, vitals, and sleep data. Apple has also introduced an "Audio Intelligence" feature to the Series 12 and Ultra 4. This feature includes sound recognition, such as doorbells, and a "live rewind" function that lets users rewind 15 seconds to transcribe a recent conversation by double-clicking the Digital Crown.
The Series 12 and Ultra 4 are powered by Apple's new S11 chip, which includes A20 Pro-derived CPU, GPU, and Neural Engine components. The watches are available in colors like space gray, black, light gold, bronze aluminum, ceramic shield 2, radiant gold, natural, polished titanium, pearl white, dark blue, and gold. The Ultra 4 has a larger battery offering over two days of battery life, while Series 12 has the same battery life as Series 11.
Both models are available for pre-order starting today and will launch on September 18. Pricing for both models remains the same as the Series 11 and Ultra 3, at $399 and $799 respectively.
