Nu ook skiën en snowboarden met Apple Watch Series 3
Apple heeft een nieuw persbericht online gezet waarin je kan lezen hoe je jouw activiteit kan bijhouden als je aan het skiën en snowboarden bent met een Apple Watch Series 3.

Dit persbericht vind je in zijn geheel hieronder, maar we verklappen alvast dat het niet gaat om nieuwe activiteiten die aan Apple's eigen Workout-app zijn toegevoegd, het gaat om apps van derde partijen. Maar wat je in die apps doet wordt wel opgeteld bij de drie ringen waarmee de Apple Watch je laat zien hoeveel je in een dag bewogen hebt.

Apple noemt deze apps wel in het persbericht, maar geeft er opvallend genoeg geen links bij. Daarom hierbij vooraf van ons die links, zodat je niet hoeft te zoeken naar de apps waarom het gaat:

Apple Watch records ski workouts and automatically detects lifts and runs throughout the day.

Starting today, skiers and snowboarders can use Apple Watch Series 3 to track their activities via new updates to apps available in the App Store. Watch users can now record runs, see vertical descent and other stats, and contribute active calorie measurements directly to the Apple Watch Activity app.

The updated Slopes app tracks speed, vertical, distance, lift vs. trail time and more with a completely redesigned interface.

Developers are taking advantage of the built-in GPS and altimeter in Apple Watch Series 3 as well as custom workout APIs released in watchOS 4.2 to enable tracking of specialized metrics. App updates for snoww, Slopes, Squaw Alpine, Snocru and Ski Tracks now track new metrics on the slopes including:

  • Total vertical descent and horizontal distance
  • Number of runs
  • Average and maximum speeds
  • Total time spent
  • Calories burned

Watch users can track new metrics and find their friends on the mountain with a glance at the wrist.

Apps can auto pause and resume and users will get credit towards their Activity rings; workout information will also be recorded to the Health app on iPhone with user permission. Using Siri, users can start Slopes and snoww to track their runs using just their voice.

“Having the ability to track the details of runs with Apple Watch is an incredible asset for everyone from training athletes to skiers and riders just looking to have fun and stay active,” said Jonny Moseley, Olympic Moguls Gold Medalist and Squaw Alpine Mountain Ambassador. “The Squaw Alpine app for Apple Watch helps me when I’m out with my family to not only track exactly where my kids are on the mountain, but also compare our performance, so I can make sure I’m keeping up with my sons and add some fun competition to our day.”

Ski and snowboard activity now counts toward closing rings and calories burned are recorded in the Activity app.

“We’re thrilled with the updates Apple Watch Series 3 and watchOS 4.2 allow us to make” said Eddy Healey, developer of snoww. “We designed snoww thinking about quick interactions and glances while out on the mountain, so these updates have helped us make it easy to record accurate, relevant metrics as well as create a fun and social experience for our users.”

The updated apps are now available on the App Store and require watchOS 4.2 or later.
