Battery life has improved. The watch lasts up to 42 hours on regular use and up to 72 hours in Low Power Mode. Fast charging gives up to 12 hours of use in just 15 minutes.
Health updates include hypertension notifications and sleep score tracking. These features help users monitor blood pressure and sleep quality. The watch also includes Workout Buddy, an AI-powered fitness coach with spoken feedback.
