This is possible through a new temperature sensor to provides estimation for when the wearer is ovulating.
Apple says its cycle tracking will also alert you on your iPhone and can help bring your attention to any other health issues that might come up.
The company stresses that all health data collected by the Watch is protected by end-to-end encryption.
‘Your cycle tracking data is encrypted on your device and only accessible with your passcode Touch ID or Face ID,’ according to Apple.
Along with tracking health, the Apple Watch Series 8 can help save your life more than ever before.
The device features a new sensor with a high-G-force accelerometer that detects when you have been in a car crash, such as ‘side impact, rear end collision and rollovers.’
The feature, dubbed ‘car detection,’ only activates when you are traveling in a vehicle.
