Temperature sensing
With WatchOS 9, the Apple Watch is able to track a user’s temperature while they sleep so that they can see changes from their baseline. Apple says that after wearing the Apple Watch for five nights with Sleep Focus and Sleep Tracking enabled, users will be able to see nightly shifts from your baseline temperature in the Health app on iPhone. Seeing nightly changes can give you insight into your overall wellness.
Retrospective ovulation estimates
Apple Watch Series 8 gives users retrospective ovulation estimates using wrist temperature data. Apple says that if you wear your Apple Watch to sleep each night with Sleep Focus turned on, you can receive retrospective ovulation estimates after about two menstrual cycles.
Cycle Deviations
With Apple Watch and WatchOS 9, users who use the Cycle Tracking feature can receive notifications of common cycle deviations based on their logged cycle data. These include irregular periods, infrequent periods, prolonged periods, or persistent spotting.
Cycle History
Users can create a PDF of their cycle history including details like logged periods, wrist temperature, retrospective ovulation estimates, symptoms, and cycle deviations. This will help users in having a more informed conversations with their healthcare provider.
