Apple Watch adds an all-new Readiness app, here’s how it works

Apple has introduced a new health-focused app called Readiness for its latest Apple Watch models, the Series 12 and Ultra 4. This app is part of an upgraded Health Sensing System that includes more advanced sensors and larger, energy-efficient LEDs. To access the Readiness app, users must have upgraded to either the Series 12 or Ultra 4, as previous models such as Series 11, Ultra 3, and SE 3 do not support it, even with watchOS 27.

The Readiness app provides users with a score ranging from 0 to 10, taking into account activity data, daytime and overnight vitals, and sleep data. With Apple's emphasis on its new hardware, the Readiness app represents a significant step forward in health and fitness monitoring for the Apple Watch. Both the Series 12 and Ultra 4 models are currently available for pre-order, with the devices launching on September 18.
