2. The App Store can now be accessed directly from the watch. This gives you the opportunity to download apps directly to the smartwatch and not always have to go the long way via the cell phone.
3. With the activity trends you always have the exact overview of what you have already done during the day. Sie können einsehen, wie viele Schritte Sie gegangen sind und welche Strecke Sie zurückgelegt haben.
4. Eine weitere neue Funktion ist das Zyklusprotokoll. Damit können Sie Ihren Menstruationszyklus tracken und so einen allgemeinen Überblick über Ihre Gesundheit erhalten.
5. Mit der Hörgesundheit können Sie überwachen, ob es in Ihrer Umgebung zu laut ist und ab wann Sie eine Pause von der Lautstärke einlegen sollten.
