hi everyone Aaron here for ZolloTech and today Apple released watch OS 7 beta 1
to developers this is available to all developers and you need a series three
series four or series five Apple watch in order to install it those are the
only watches it's available for and this should release to the public sometime in
the fall around September or October now you'll need an iphone to install it and
it was about a gigabyte in size and if you've not installed a watch OS beta
before make sure that you really know what you're getting into because you
cannot downgrade by yourself you actually have to bring it to Apple they
send it in and downgrade it for you and then hand it back so just know that you
actually should not install this unless you're aware of those risks now let's
take a look at some of the new features and the build number so first let's take
a look at the build number you'll see it's pretty early we go to about and
there's the build number there 18 are five three one zero a and this
particular update adds some nice features and the first thing is actually
battery health so if we go back so in the settings if we scroll down to
battery let's find it here there we go we'll go to battery under battery you'll
see the charge will go down tap on battery health and you'll see this one
is currently at 89% so just like all batteries it degrades over time you've
got optimized battery charging built in and it's nice that they've added this
although there's no way to really replace a battery on an Apple watch this
is a series for Apple watch so it's a couple of years old at this point or a
year and a half or so and it's doing well but it will degrade and need a
battery replacement eventually now Apple has added some new watch faces and you
see the first one here if I press and hold you'll see this is chronograph Pro
and it has a tachymeter tachometer on it and you can access it just tap on it
like that so it's a nice new one go back home here and we've also got an
additional one here now this is the extra large version but it also adds
complications so it's sort of new in that you can change the complications
now in addition to the new watch faces we have some new complications so if we
press and hold here we'll hit edit and let me go back and you can see colors
has been updated a little bit as well so it looks a little bit different how
we can scroll through it's just a little bit nicer we can adjust this as far as
time scale for the tachymeter tachometer and let's go to our complications and
select a new one because we have a few new ones so if we go to see we'll start
with that we have a camera remote so that's been added we also can see moon
phases so that's in here somewhere so you've got moon for astronomy and then
also we have short putts so if we go down to shortcuts you'll see there we go
we have shortcuts for photo grid good day Wi-Fi off and more so we can select
all of those we also have sleep and I'll talk more about that in a moment with
sleep tracking and then we have world clocks so if we go down here there's
some world clocks so you'll see there's sunset and sunrise New York City
Cupertino and then you can adjust them as you'd like so we've got those new
complications to add as well now aside from the new complications if we go over
maybe we'll create a new watch face we have the ability to add multiple
complications from the same app from a third-party developer so maybe we want
to customize one of these like this one here maybe we would like this watch face
the infograph modular will edit and then we'll go over to complications and maybe
we want activity from an activity app but we want a couple of them so you can
you can see that we can add two activity apps or we could add something else and
customize it for maybe a workout or something like that now once you've
found a watch face that you like you now have the ability to share it so you can
share it using the little share button here and a contact and share your watch
face they can share one with you and you should be able to search them in the
future when it comes to watch faces so if we slide over here we'll eventually
be able to search them where they put them I'm not sure maybe in the face
gallery but you can look through a bunch of the ones you already have and you'll
eventually be able to search some new ones share them with your friends and
that's a nice little addition now a new feature is sleep tracking this was long
rumored to be coming and if we go to sleep here see it'll take a moment to
open and you have to set this up on the iPhone app in the health app first but
you'll see we have sleep tracking full schedule no
recent sleep data and when you set it up for the first time it will suggest
things like shortcuts in the morning maybe you want to turn them on so if we
go over to the iPhone and then we go to health and health we'll wait for it to
load and then we can go down to where we have sleep now under sleep you'll see
your schedule wakeup times get more from health you can add data to it and even
get sleep apps and you've got some other options as well so you can plan out your
sleep see how much sleep you're getting or not getting and keep track of that if
you'd like and you can use your watch to get more out of that by sleeping with
your watch on now if you leave it on you can have it set up for haptics and
things to wake you up with audible alarms or haptic alarms so if we go back
here we go to settings we go to options for sleep and it's turned on
automatically and then we have it set up for sleep tracking we have charging up
reminders don't use this watch for sleep and so we've got other options for that
so it's a nice little update for your watch now in addition to noise that was
added last year they added noise health so you've got this here of course but
also on the health app again we also will have noise and you'll see noise
notifications and this will work across your headphones and everything else so
it'll let you know if you're listening to two loud environments or environments
that are going to damage your hearing over time and it will tell you how it's
going now of course you could turn this off if you'd like but they've added some
additional features with it now aside from the Health they've updated the
activity app and renamed it to fitness and fitness now has some new workouts so
if you want some new workout Styles they're available so we'll go over to
our watch and take a look at that now if we go to the workout app we have
some new ones now of course you're familiar probably with indoor cycling
and all those things let's go down here see if we can find some new ones so
we've got functional strength training we've also got dance
we've got cooldown and core training so those are four new workouts that have
been added as well now they've updated maps with cycling directions and it can
use your watch to let you know if you need to climb some stairs or take other
direction but what they haven't done is add the
cycling option yet so that will be added eventually so maybe we look for a gas
station I guess we'll go to this one and you'll see down here we have cycling but
it doesn't really work yet so it's there but it doesn't allow you to use it but
you will eventually have cycling directions now the final new feature has
to do with something that's always been important but seems to be in the
forefront of everything right now and that's hand washing so if we go to
settings we go down to hand washing we can now have a timer activate as soon as
it detects we're washing our hands so if you start it'll start us 20 second timer
and then let you know through the timer and through haptics whether or not
you're washing your hands properly or for long enough so let's try that out
now the hand washing prompt should be automatic by listening for water and
your movements and you'll see that it didn't actually activate it so that
little hand washing experiment didn't seem to work so well although I tried it
multiple times it didn't really work but when I was setting up to record this
video I accidentally activated it so it does need a little bit of work I expect
they'll work out all the bugs before it's released to the public later this
year now let me know which feature is your favor in the comments below and if
you'd like to get your hands on this wallpaper on the iPhone it's one of the
new stock iOS 14 wallpapers a link in the description like I normally do if
