Apple Watch users can get loads of new features for free right now.
Apple Watch users (at least, those on Apple Watch Series 4 or later) are about to get a slew of new features as watchOS9.2 has been rolled out and is now available for download.
This free update to Apple’s latest iteration of the wearable operating system has a slew of new stuff, including updated workout algorithms, patches for a couple of existing bugs, and a new Race Route tool for runners, cyclists and wheelchair athletes using one of our best Apple Watch entries. We’ll show you how to get the new features in a moment, but first, let’s run down the list of features available.
The Race Route tool is watchOS9.2’s version of Garmin’s Pace Pro tool, or Mario Kart’s “ghost” character that replicates your previous performance on the track, allowing you to race against your previous times. This lets you compete against your previous performances when selecting Outdoor Run, Outdoor Cycle, and Outdoor Wheelchair workouts.
