﻿The most recent version of the Apple Watch was released in the fall of 2017,
with a starting price of $529. It has a 20% larger screen, faster-charging capabilities,
increased durability, and improved cycling application functionality. The additional
screen real estate is utilized mostly for displaying larger on-screen buttons,
which significantly enhances the overall quality of the user experience when working with training
applications. The messaging app comes with a full keyboard that is surprisingly simple to use, and
it can be accessed from within the app itself. Welcome to

first Apple watches to be developed specifically for cycling. It comes equipped with several
really helpful features that make it simpler to use when riding a bicycle in comparison
to earlier models. Because of its larger screen and enhanced sensor sensitivity,
it is also capable of recording and delivering more useful information. Even though cycling
was supported in earlier models of the watch, the cycling feature never gave the impression that it
was one of the watch's primary functions because the watch did not automatically recognize when
you were cycling. Whereas, the newest edition gives a specific focus on elements related to
cycling. The Series 7 Apple Watch is the first Apple Watch to gain an IPX6 certification,
which indicates that it is dust sealed and water-resistant up to a depth of 50 meters.
This increased durability is due to a crystal that is 50% thicker than previous models.
The new and improved cycling features of the Series 7 will be most appealing to triathletes.
These features include the ability to recognize when you have begun a ride as well as the capacity
to identify whether you have fallen while cycling. If you fail to start your watch before heading out
for your workout, after a few minutes, the watch will inquire as to whether you are going on a
ride and whether you would want to track it. (The same thing happens when you are out participating
in other activities, such as running or walking.) Tracking your heart rate, the amount of elevation
gained, the number of calories expended, your average speed, and the route that you traveled
may be done while you are out on a bike ride or a run. You can effortlessly synchronize your
workouts with other platforms as well. The watch also monitors the heart rate
continuously, giving a fairly more accurate picture of the heart rate quotient for the whole
day, and in addition to that, it also records your resting heart rate, telling you your specific rest
periods. The heart rate monitor may also check your blood oxygen level and perform ECG testing,
which, while not directly related to fitness, are both extremely beneficial to any cyclist's
health. Both tests are simple to perform and produce consistent results, but I can't say
for sure how accurate they are because I don't have access to medical equipment.
The Apple Watch, predictably, only works with iPhones, and the setup process is as easy as
it gets thanks to Apple's tight integration of everything they do. Simply place the watch
near your phone, wait for what appears to be a cloud of moving dots to emerge on the watch,
and then scan it with your phone's camera. Once you've arrived, all you have to do is enter some
basic information and wait for the phone and watch to complete the initial setup. The function of the
touchscreen face is to use the phone, whether when using simpler versions of the phone's apps
or using native watch apps. You can also set various watch faces to customize how it appears
and what it displays depending on how you want to use it; for example, on a daily basis, I'll use
a face that provides vital information, but while I'm at work, I'll use a face that displays photos
of my family. From the iPhone's Watch app, you may customize what displays on the watch by selecting
from a variety of faces, apps, and other options. This is straightforward to perform and works
perfectly with the watch, except when you upload many photographs to the watch, which causes a tiny
lag. In addition to the touchscreen, the Apple Watch Series 7 also has two main control elements:
namely, a button on one side that brings up either contactless payments or apps used recently, and
also turns the watch off; and the 'Digital Crown,' which resembles that of a watch winder but when
pressed, it opens a screen from which you can navigate any app available on the watch or even
rotate it or zoom or scroll it on different apps. The Apple Watch Series 7 is, above all else,
intended to be convenient to use, regardless of whether you are using it while riding a bike or
sitting at your desk, and there is little doubt that it succeeds in this endeavor. Because I would
be here for hours if I tried to capture all of these aspects, I'll simply concentrate on a few
of the ones that I found to be the most helpful when I was riding the bike. The first thing to
mention is the notifications that are sent to your watch from the various messaging apps.
The majority of modern smartwatches provide you with the ability to check your alerts,
but the Apple Watch not only provides you with a concise summary of the message but also gives you
the option to either speak your response or send anything by drawing out the letters. On the bike,
this proved to be an extremely helpful feature because it allowed me to store my phone in a
more concealed location within one of my jersey pockets, and the only time I needed
to access it was when the watch alerted me to a message that was particularly urgent. Another
convenient feature is the navigation, which provides haptic feedback in the form of small
vibrations to indicate where and when to turn. The Apple Watch Series 7 is an outstanding
all-purpose smartwatch that, in its most recent Series 7 incarnation, in particular, works
extremely well for bikers. More precise detection of falls and enhanced automatic detection of rides
bring a significant improvement to the overall experience. It is something that I have found
to be particularly handy for riding because of the larger screen that is simpler to utilize
while on the move as well as the simplicity of operating apps from your wrist. Even though you
currently cannot link any other cycling sensors to it and its battery life isn't as good as the
battery life of other smartwatches that we've tried, it's still a great option to consider.
That ends our video for today! We do hope that we were able to give you
some informative insights about the Apple Watch Series 7 concerning its usage in triathlons.
