Apple Adds Readiness Score to Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4, Borrowing a Page From Whoop and Oura

Apple unveiled Readiness for Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4, a daily zero-to-ten score built from activity, sleep and vitals that ends in one of four recommendations, from Recover to Go For It.

The score combines recent activity and vitals, including sleep duration, blood oxygen, heart-rate variability, respiratory rate and resting heart rate. Apple translates the number into one of four recommendations: Recover, Pace Yourself, Ready or Go For It. The intent is to help a wearer decide whether the day calls for a demanding workout, a lighter session, or perhaps no hard training at all.

Readiness works differently from the morning score offered on Google's Fitbit devices. Apple's guidance adjusts as a wearer's body and activity change, Android Authority reported, rather than being set once at the start of the day.

The feature appears exclusive to the Series 12 and Ultra 4, possibly because of new sensors in those two models, according to the report. Android Authority did not specify a release date for Readiness or say whether earlier Apple Watch models would receive it.

The idea behind Readiness has been building in the wearables market for years. Fitness trackers have readily reported how much a user moved, how poorly they slept and how fast their heart beat, then largely left users to connect the dots. Whoop and Oura changed that by reducing a pile of biometric data to one digestible answer: whether to push hard today or take it easy. At its iPhone launch event, Apple brought that same single-answer approach to its watches.
