Apple is now in the process of rolling out a watchOS 7.0.2 update to the Apple Watch with improvements in both the battery and ECG departments.
The Apple Watch is receiving a couple of much-needed refinements via a new update. watchOS 7.0.2 focuses on making Apple watches last longer, along with other various performance improvements and bug fixes. This update is a follow up to Apple’s main watchOS 7 upgrade that brought with it lots of noteworthy features for the company’s smartwatch lineup.
watchOS 7’s emphasis on personalized watch faces, health-tracking software improvements, and self-hygiene reminders provided Apple Watch owners the means to tailor their smartwatches to match their preferred lifestyle. However, a number of users have been reporting various battery life-related problems, as well as issues regarding the ECG app and the inability to access it. Now that Apple has come up with a follow-up to the 7.0.1 Apple Watch build released weeks ago, users can instantly find out if their device problems have been sorted out by updating to the latest watchOS version.
Apple has confirmed the latest watchOS version 7.0.2 update is now available, with the improvements primarily focusing on fixes and performance tweaks, instead of introducing any new features. For starters, the update claims to address an issue that might have caused some Apple Watch batteries to drain quicker than they should. The fix also tackles on the common problem of the ECG app being inaccessible in certain regions where it should be available. While these are the main improvements noted in the changelog, Apple Watch wearers should also expect a number of smaller and unspecified miscellaneous bug fixes as well.
Frequent Updates Continue To Improve Apple Watch
The Apple Watch is constantly getting better in a short amount of time, from receiving regular updates from Apple, to rekindling its Google Maps support. In fact, Apple has already released two Apple Watch updates in under a month, since the introduction of its major watchOS 7 upgrade. Apple’s smartwatch lineup has also benefited from the recent release of newer, more capable models that make the most of what the device has to offer.
While the recent updates might not be as groundbreaking as the watchOS 7 announcement, their frequency shows just how much Apple prioritizes its smartwatch lineup. Of course, Apple Watch owners who are still utilizing the earlier first and second-generation devices, which are incapable of being updated to the latest watchOS version, won’t benefit from these fixes and improvements. Other than that, the only thing preventing newer-generation Apple Watch owners from taking advantage of the latest changes is if they are somehow unable to update their devices, although that is something that can be fixed if necessary.
