Apple Watch Series 12 is excellent, but I find myself missing this one software feature

Apple Watch Series 12 is excellent, but I find myself missing this one software feature

The Apple Watch Series 12 has been a remarkable upgrade, but I find myself yearning for one specific feature I missed from its predecessor. While acknowledging the new iPhone Duo and HomeView, I still appreciate the charm of the Series 12. Its always-on heart rate monitor and the new Health app together created an intriguing launch experience.

Apple did exceptionally well in redesigning the Health app, with an easy-to-read interface and notable features like Readiness and Health Age, making it a more meaningful app. Integrating existing features such as Vitals and Sleep ensures daily usage. However, I do miss the WHOOP's unique approach to tracking days based on sleep.

With WHOOP, days are measured according to the time one goes to sleep, not a fixed 24-hour clock. This allows workouts past midnight to still count towards the existing day. Consequently, a night walk home contributes to the day it began, rather than the next day. While this concept could be an optional feature, I believe aligning fitness goals with sleep tracking would make more sense than relying on a standard clock. What are your thoughts on this idea?
