Two software updates land on Aug. 14 which will restore the blood oxygen feature to US editions of Apple Watch Series 9 and newer models.

The feature was removed on select smartwatches due to a patent-infringement lawsuit, but Apple has “redesigned” it.

Apple just rolled out a redesigned Blood Oxygen feature to specific models, following a recent victory in a legal dispute.

A future generation of Apple Watch could introduce biometric authentication, evidence from Apple shows. Touch ID for Apple Watch could be on the way.

Right now, you can grab the Apple Watch Ultra 2 (49mm, GPS + Cellular) for $650 on Amazon, which is 19% off its regular price. That might not sound like a lot, but considering how this watch packs a punch and rarely goes on sale outside of big shopping events, it’s a great deal.

The Series 10's slim profile convinced me to ditch my Apple Watch Ultra. Big mistake. Here's why the Ultra makes the most sense for athletes of all stripes.

For nearly two years, Apple Watch users in the United States lived without one of the most popular health features: blood oxygen monitoring. Today, Apple has officially reintroduced the function through a software workaround that sidesteps the long-running patent battle with health tech company Masimo.

This year's Apple Watch Series 11 is expected to be a minor upgrade, but leaked code suggests future Apple Watch models could add Touch ID.

To set up heart rate notifications, go to the Apple Watch app on your iPhone, tap My Watch, tap Heart, tap High Heart Rate and choose Beats Per Minute, tap Low Heart Rate and choose a BPM. For irregular rhythm notifications, open your iPhone's Health app, tap Browse, tap Heart, tap Irregular Rhythm Notifications and enable them.

The Apple Watch is marketed as a fitness and health companion, but stories from real users show it has become an accidental life detector. Rising heart rates, sustained temperature shifts, and hormone-driven metrics are all being quietly logged, and for some women, that data reveals pregnancy before any test does.

TL;DR: Get an Apple Watch Series 7 (refurbished) on sale for only $154.99 (reg. $499).

The Anker MagGo 10K is a dedicated power bank for the Apple Watch. Sure, it'll charge any USB-C device, but there are better solutions out there if you don't own an Apple Watch. It's small and portable but is distinctly lacking any USB-A support. All in all, it's a handy and neat solution for Apple Watch lovers. but not really for anyone else.
