In April, the Apple Watch will turn ten, firmly on its way to becoming mature, as technology products go. But maturity hasn't meant stagnation, and a piece of tech that is built largely around keeping you moving hasn't stood still: even in the latest WatchOS 11 update, the Watch received a host of more advanced fitness features, including the option to give yourself rest days from your activity rings and to better track training load over time.
Over those ten years, Apple's approach to the Watch has evolved dramatically too. From the start, Fitness features were a core part of the Apple Watch. But that became even more true over time, as Apple retreated from some of its earlier communications tools and refined its thinking about using the Watch as a way to keep people moving and monitor their health.
