- Apple has released watchOS 10.2 for compatible Apple Watches.
- This update allows Siri to access and log Health data right on the Watch itself.
- However, this feature is available only on the new Apple Watch Series 9 and the Apple Watch Ultra 2, with the Apple S9 chip processing Siri requests on-device.
The Apple Watch Series 9 remains the best smartwatch available for purchase, and that is despite the iPhone lock-in. Part of what makes the Apple Watch so good is watchOS 10, which provides comprehensive health tracking features and other smarts that make it a worthwhile purchase. Apple is rolling out watchOS 10.2 to compatible watches, bringing a few changes.
Siri can now access and log Health data
The primary highlight for this update is that the new Apple Watch Series 9 and the Apple Watch Ultra 2 now let you access and log health data using Siri. CNET mentions that the feature is exclusive to these two smartwatches as they are powered by the new Apple S9 chip, which allows them to process certain Siri requests locally and with low latency rather than sending the query to the cloud.
