Version 5.6.0 Release Notes: New Vitals/Health iPhone Widget, Stress now has 4 categories and more 👨💻
This is a 7-day phased release, but if you can't wait, you can download the update from the App Store!
📉 Stress now has 4 levels: Low, Medium, Elevated and High. Having some stress is totally normal and can even be productive, so I think breaking down stress into 4 levels will help you understand your stress level better and also better isolate those periods of truly High stress as opposed to those, now, that will just be Elevated.
📉🔋Stress Coaching (and Battery Coaching) have also been added to the watch app!
❤️ The new Health (aka Vitals) UI is now also available as a medium widget! And just like the other health features, a subscription is not required. You shouldn't have to pay to know critical health information!
⭐ Also added back icons to the Vitals UI so that you can see whether you are within your normal range (check mark), above/below normal (plus or exclamation) or much above/below normal (star/exclamation). I think this is the best of both worlds?
💪 📈 Slight adjustment to the way Long Term Training Load (Fitness) and Short Term Training Load (Fatigue) are calculated.
🔋Slight adjustment to Battery calculation as well.
📓 In the Journal, Tags must have occurred at least 3 times otherwise we treat them with low confidence and any correlations with Recovery and Sleep shouldn't be trusted until they've occurred at least 3 times.
🐛 Fixed an issue with the workout heart rate line chart where some users might not see their max HR on the chart due to smoothing.
✅ Added check marks to those days with >= 33% of Restorative Sleep to the Restorative Sleep Chart for 30 days and slightly reduced opacity for those days below 33% to make more clear which days were at or above 33.
Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 to those of you in the U.S.!
