Apple has introduced the Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4 with advanced health and fitness features, AI capabilities, improved sensors and better battery life.
September 13, 2026: In India, smartwatches are no longer used only as a tool to tell time or receive notifications. For many people, they have become an important device for tracking fitness and health.
Various companies are launching smartwatches with thousands of features, from sleep and heart-rate tracking to blood pressure monitoring. Apple has now taken another step forward in this segment. Along with Apple's newly launched foldable iPhone, the company has introduced two smartwatches, the Apple Watch Series 12 and Apple Watch Ultra 4.
These new watches come with multiple fitness features, including workout tracking. They also offer AI capabilities, advanced sensors and better battery life than before. What else does this device have to offer? Let's have a look.
Big update in Series 12 smartwatch
Apple Series 12 has a new 'Health Sensing System'. Through this, the smartwatch can measure your heart rate at different times every day.
There is also a new 'Readiness' feature. The watch will analyse how much you sleep, your workouts, training load and other important information and give you a score between 0 and 10 every day. Using this, the watch will also guide you. That is, based on your score, it will send notifications like โRecoverโ, โPace Yourselfโ, โReady โ, or โGo For Itโ. This will help you with health tracking.
More battery backup
Apart from this, the Apple Watch Series 12 will have up to 24 hours of battery backup. According to the company, this smartwatch will last for up to 12 hours with just 15 minutes of charging.
On the other hand, the extra battery backup of the Ultra 4 has been created for those who are outside for a long time. Apple says that it can give you up to 50 hours of battery life on a single charge. If you turn on Low Power Mode, it can increase to 84 hours. About 18 hours of backup will be available with a 15-minute charge.
