watchOS 11
Apple (release notes, security, developer):
Apple today released watchOS 11, bringing powerful health and fitness insights, along with even more personalization, intelligence, and ways to stay connected, to the world’s most popular watch.
Apple Watch now offers a feature to help identify signs of sleep apnea, and the new Vitals app allows users to quickly check in on key health metrics at a glance and gain better context on their health. The ability to measure training load helps users make more informed decisions when working out for improved fitness and performance, and Activity rings are even more customizable. Apple Watch and the Health app on iPhone and iPad also provide additional support for users who are pregnant.
The Smart Stack and Photos face use intelligence to offer a more individualized experience, and Check In, the Translate app, and new capabilities for the double tap gesture come to Apple Watch for more convenience and ways to stay connected.

I think this is the best update to watchOS in a long time, years at least. Customizable rings? Rest days? Vitals? Loads? All over that. Probably the best update since watchOS 6 or 7, because for several years there, I couldn’t really tell you what new software features actively made my watch better. My Apple Watch is, for me, a replace-it-immediately-if-it-breaks product. Glad it’s got some good attention from Apple.
