Hey everyone,

Thanks to everyone who stress-tested the last build and provided feedback.
Here is a quick look at what’s currently on the workbench for the upcoming Version 1.5.0.

What’s coming in v1.5.0:

🏃‍**♂️ Deep Running Dynamics: Apple Watch captures incredible data that often gets buried. We are bringing it front and center. Your run logs will now include Running Power, Vertical Oscillation, Stride Length, Cadence, and Ground Contact T**ime.

⚖️** Load Focus**: Are you doing too much threshold work and not enough base building? The new Load Focus feature breaks down your recent training into intensity buckets (Anaerobic, High Aerobic, Low Aerobic) to ensure your programming is actually balanced. We’re also adding the 3-month Acute Training Load (ATL) charts for long-term macrocycle tracking.

🔋 Sleep Debt & Sleep Bank: Moving beyond just the nightly sleep score. The algorithm now calculates your rolling Sleep Debt and Sleep Bank. If you shortchange your sleep during the week, the app will objectively show you how much you need to catch up on the weekend to properly recover from your current Training Load.

🫀 HR Zones at a Glance: I heard you loud and clear. Zone 1-3 and Zone 4-5 distribution will now be visible right on the main overview screen.

🪜 Flights Climbed: Added to the daily dashboard.

🛠 The Fixes you asked for:
Complications Sync: I’ve completely rewritten the background refresh logic for the Apple Watch complications. They should now update much more aggressively in the background.

Data Alignment: Fixed the bug where the "below/above average" green area was showing slight discrepancies between the Watch and iOS app.

Post-Workout HR: Improved the visualization of the post-workout Heart Rate chart.

Localization

As always: Your data stays on your device. Buy once, no monthly subscriptions.

I beg of you.

Really love this strap. Icing on the cake would have been if the metal parts weren’t silver, at least for the connectors. But I can live with that. Wrist fit is great.

Aquí tienes la traducción natural al inglés:
Hi,
I have an Apple Watch Ultra 3 that I bought in January.
I’m not sure if it’s visible in the photo, but I’ve noticed that some of the speaker holes seem to have chipped on the inside. It’s not all of them, just about half.

It wasn’t caused by a knock or any kind of impact. It’s as if those holes have lost their finish and now show the natural titanium color underneath. I’ve seen something similar happen on the watch case after a bump or scratch, but seeing it inside the speaker grille seems quite unusual.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Terry Crews unrelated.

My number 1 feature for each and every year is custom watch alerts/tones that mirror those of my iPhone.

I switched to iPhone recently coming from Samsung and purchased the Ultra. Mainly to track when I do my shorter in between hikes when I’m not backpacking and using my Garmin Enduro. The Alpine Loop has been great so far. I’m looking at purchasing the Milanese Loop to have as an alternative band. As you can tell I’m on the hairy side. Does anyone have any problems with the Milanese Loop pinching the hair on your arms? Thanks!

I bought my U2 used on eBay. I figured as I wasn’t the original owner, the warranty was gone for me. Now, my phone has alerted me that my watch warranty expires in 11 days. It suggests, lol, AppleCare+ with theft and loss. Given all that…

1. Do I still have access to the original warranty?
2. If I don’t, would signing up for it give me coverage? (A loophole?)
3. There seem to be a lot of warranty claims discussed here; is the Ultra a relatively reliable product?

I had my Series 7 forever, so I’ve assumed they were pretty solid. I’m very familiar w/ Mac reliability as I do claims with Apple for Macs regularly; in general they’re excellent, certainly better than our Dell’s anyway.

The reasons I decided to splurge on the U2 were the O2 sensor, battery life, and how incredibly tough all the reviews showed the Ultra series to be. I see no real reason to get a 3 or the 4 when it’s released, even if battery life doubles, I’m getting nearly 3 days right now on a watch that says it’ll do 36hrs.

Note: that’s the cheapest feeling band I’ve ever gotten, part of a 10-pack for $22. I recently confessed my band-buying addiction to a friend, she shared her phone case addiction with me to make me feel less shame. Thanks for all thoughts on the warranty question.

I was something like 185-190 - bought large I think medium will fit nicer. Any thoughts?
