Updates to watchOS 9 represent the first serious shot at established GPS running watches.
Power has long been a key metric for cyclists and it has slowly proliferated into the running world. Measured in watts, power is a gauge on how much work you’re doing. Say, for example, you did a tempo run over a hilly course and maintained a consistent speed the entire way. You’d have exerted much more effort on the inclines than the descents to keep pace, but your mile splits alone would not reflect the additional work from the harder running.
We haven’t had the chance to test this new feature from Apple yet, but in our experience across the other brands, the actual number is, at this point, kind of meaningless. That’s because we don’t really know how accurate any watch maker’s numbers are. But, the key thing we’ll be testing is whether the power readings respond predictably. For example, if I hold a steady effort over an undulating course, I’d expect to slow on hills but see my power number remain stable.
Apple Watch will record stride dynamics like vertical oscillation, how much you bounce up and down while you run.Apple has expanded its list of data fields you can view in real time, and will be including stride metrics that are trickier to capture. Knowing these can help you fine tune your stride to become a more efficient runner.
