Advanced Health and Fitness Tracking

Run with all your heart.

Apple Watch Ultra was designed to be the ultimate running watch, with powerful features that help you train smarter and precision dual-frequency GPS. Now Apple Watch Ultra 4 takes it to the next level with game-changing health and fitness tracking to help you elevate your performance. And new extended battery life for workouts to keep you moving toward your goals. Run better, run longer.

Heartcore innovation.

Heart data is fundamental in tracking your overall health and performance. Redesigned with more capable optical and electrical sensors, the all‑new Health Sensing System works with the S11 chip to provide higher-frequency heart monitoring. The updated sensors and larger, more power-efficient green LEDs give you richer heart data for more meaningful insights.

Ready advice. The new readiness experience can help you determine your capacity to take on the day by providing you with one simple score. Your score is determined each morning by analyzing your recent activity, vitals, and sleep — and it adjusts as you go about your day. So whether you’re training for a race or juggling a busy schedule, you can spend your energy on what matters most.

HRV? Check. Heart rate variability, or HRV, is an indicator of how your body responds to stress and recovery. Overtraining or poor sleep can raise your stress and lower your HRV. With the most accurate heart rate sensing in a wearable,2 Apple Watch Ultra 4 measures HRV as often as every five minutes and takes background heart rate readings every five seconds — the most frequent sensing ever for Apple Watch. And with the updated Heart Rate app and new watch face complications, you can easily view your readings anytime.

60xmore frequent background heart rate readings than Ultra 3

24xmore frequent HRV readings than Ultra 3

Run circles around your data.

Ultra 4 goes the extra mile to ensure that you can precisely track and analyze your running workouts. With real‑time metrics, deeper insights into training and performance, and personalized encouragement, you’ll be motivated to hit your goals like never before.

Monitor your Heart Rate Zones.
Quickly see your exercise intensity level with Heart Rate Zones, which are automatically calculated and personalized using your health data. You can adjust them manually or set up alerts.

Hit the ground running with the Action button.
It’s customizable and gives you quick control over a variety of functions, so you can do things like control a workout, move to your next interval, mark a segment, and more. All with extreme precision.

Keep pace with Pacer.
Set specific time and distance goals with Pacer for a running or outdoor cycle workout, and track whether you’re keeping pace.

Get ahead of yourself with Race Route.
Race against your best times on your favorite runs. See how far ahead or behind you are and how far you have to go.

Slay in your lane with Automatic Track Detection.

Never miss a step with an improved step tracker.
Whether you’re out for a leisurely stroll with your coffee in the morning or running on a treadmill at night, Ultra 4 gives you a more accurate step count and distance measurements all day long. And now you can more easily check your step count, right from your watch face.

Track your training load.
Helpful insights from training load show the impact your workouts have on your body over time, so it’s easier to plan when you’re training for your next big event.

Boost your performance with a body of metrics.

The more health insights you have, the more empowered you are to take actions that will optimize how you perform. With in-depth clinical validation and FDA-cleared features, Apple Watch Ultra 4 provides a fuller picture of your health, so you can stay informed.

Wake up to your sleep score.
Sleep quality is influenced by factors such as sleep duration, bedtime consistency, how often you wake up, and time spent in each sleep stage. Sleep score analyzes these factors every night and provides a classification and a score. You’ll see how the score is calculated, so you can understand the quality of your sleep and learn how to make it more restorative.

The Health app on iPhone uses data from the sensor in Apple Watch to enable you to take on-demand readings of your blood oxygen as well as background readings, day and night.15

Receive hypertension notifications.
Ultra 4 can notify you if it identifies patterns of hypertension.16 How? The optical sensor provides data to an algorithm that can detect potential hypertension by analyzing how your blood vessels respond to beats of the heart over 30‑day periods.

Take an ECG anytime, anywhere.
Check for signs of an irregular heart rhythm, also known as atrial fibrillation, by using the ECG app to generate a single-lead electrocardiogram. You can share your ECG reading with your healthcare provider.17

Wearable AI Assistant

Say hello to Siri AI.

With all-new Siri AI, Apple Watch Ultra 4 can tap into broad world knowledge and your personal context to be even more helpful.4 Using just your voice, you can engage in natural, back-and-forth conversations, brainstorm ideas for workout routines, and get the latest wellness tips with Siri — all from your wrist. And now Audio Intelligence uses the built-in microphone and secure S11 chip in Ultra 4, alongside the power of Apple Intelligence, to make sense of what you hear in a private and secure way.5 Just as Visual Intelligence on iPhone helps you make sense of what you see.

Siri AI is rolling out in English.Some Audio Intelligence features coming in beta late 2026.Usage limits may apply.

Revisit conversations in the Siri app.
Ask Siri a question on your iPhone or any other Apple device synced with iCloud, and pick up where you left off on your Apple Watch. Pin conversations and see the same content, including images, across your devices. Here’s to a little more conversation and a lot more Siri.

Siri Recap can summarize your chats to refresh your memory.
Siri Recap transforms your conversations into high-level notes, so you can stay focused and present. Each Siri Recap includes a title, a summary, and key points that you can review in the Siri app on your Apple Watch or iPhone. You can turn Siri Recap off or on at any time from Control Center or choose where and when it takes notes, such as only at work or never at night.19

Siri Recap coming in beta late 2026.Usage limits may apply.

Live Rewind catches what you missed.
Did someone say something you couldn’t hear in a loud restaurant or share cooking instructions you didn’t quite catch? Just double-click the Digital Crown, and Live Rewind transcribes what was said in the last 15 seconds. You can ask Siri about the content of the transcript or save it to the new Siri app to revisit later.19

Sound Recognition notifies you when it detects important sounds.
Designed for those who are Deaf or hard of hearing, Sound Recognition can listen for sounds you don’t want to miss, like sirens, alarms, doorbells, or a crying baby. You’ll be alerted with a notification on your watch — even when your iPhone isn’t nearby.20

Shazam can now automatically tell you what song is playing.
Shazam can instantly detect the music playing around you and automatically display the song title and artist’s name on the Music Recognition widget in the Smart Stack — all without a tap. You can also see the song info when you use the Shazam app or Siri. Talk about music to your ears.21

Great powers come with great privacy.

Made possible by the new S11 chip, Audio Intelligence features are designed to protect your privacy and security at every step. These features do not create or store audio recordings, and raw audio used for processing is completely inaccessible, even to Apple, and is deleted after processing. There is no speaker attribution, and your Live Rewind transcripts and Siri Recaps in the Siri app are end-to-end encrypted through iCloud syncing. You decide whether to opt in to these features, and you control how you use them.5

The Apple Watch Ultra 4 is positioned as an ultimate sports and adventure watch, significantly enhanced by advancements in health sensing, battery longevity, and integrated satellite communication capabilities. A core innovation is the redesigned Health Sensing System, which employs more capable optical and electrical sensors and power-efficient green LEDs to deliver the most accurate heart rate sensing yet in a wearable device. Users gain deeper insights through new metrics such as a personal readiness score, frequent heart rate variability (HRV) readings, and tracking for Health Age, which analyzes factors influencing longevity. Furthermore, the system provides continuous, high-frequency background heart rate monitoring and allows for on-demand blood oxygen measurements, advanced ECG capabilities, and hypertension notifications.

The device boasts exceptional endurance, offering up to 50 hours of normal battery life and up to 45 hours for Max Extended Workout tracking, enabling extended performance monitoring. Durability is ensured through a rugged titanium case and a display made from sapphire crystal, which is tested to MIL-STD-810H for extreme environments. It also features a Water Resistance rating of WR100, suitable for recreational scuba diving up to 40 meters, and is IP6X dust resistant. The Action button provides precise, physical control over functions like starting workouts or activating a flashlight.

In the realm of advanced health and fitness tracking, the Ultra 4 integrates precision dual-frequency GPS, allowing for advanced tracking metrics like running power and cadence. Features include Pacer for setting pace goals, Race Route for real-time comparison against personal bests, and Automatic Track Detection, which seamlessly combines GPS and Apple Maps data for accurate segment tracking. Workout Buddy provides real-time encouragement, and advanced metrics allow users to track training load and performance. For multisport activities, the watch recognizes transitions between swimming, cycling, and running, offering metrics like SWOLF for swim efficiency.

Adventure capabilities are significantly expanded through built-in satellite communications, which provide off-grid connectivity. This includes Emergency SOS, Fall Detection, Crash Detection, and the ability to communicate via satellite for messages, enabling users to call emergency services, share location via Find My, and activate a siren up to 600 feet away. The device also functions as a dive computer via the Oceanic+ app, and includes tools for hiking, such as Backtrack for off-grid path retracing and custom route creation, supported by offline map downloads.

The integration of Artificial Intelligence, powered by the S11 chip and Audio Intelligence, further enhances user interaction. Siri AI provides more contextual and conversational assistance for workout planning and wellness tips. Audio Intelligence features like Live Rewind, Siri Recap, Sound Recognition, and faster Shazam allow for sophisticated audio processing while maintaining stringent privacy. These audio features are secured through end-to-end encryption via iCloud syncing, ensuring that raw audio data is inaccessible even to Apple and is deleted after processing.

The redesigned Health app emphasizes proactive insights through the Insights tab, which synthesizes data on heart, sleep, fitness, and vitals to provide personalized guidance, such as suggestions for improving sleep routines. The Longevity tab offers analytics across heart health, sleep, and movement to build a foundation for future well-being. Finally, the system incorporates Cycle Tracking, which provides predictions for menstrual health phases and supports women through perimenopause and menopause, alongside comprehensive sleep apnea notifications. This holistic approach, guided by Apple Intelligence, transforms raw data into actionable, personalized insights regarding an individual's health and longevity.
