Oath · Strength & Stillness

Oath comes to Apple Watch, and brings new ways to keep your word. ON YOUR WRIST (OATH PRO) Run your routines from your wrist, with your phone left in the locker. Log sets with the Digital Crown, feel a tap when rest is over, and breathe or meditate there too. Your Oath is on the wrist as well: swipe to it and renew it, and it counts on your iPhone the moment the two are in touch. A run you forgot to stop saves itself from the moment you stopped moving, so the drive home is never part of it. Everything lands back on your iPhone and in Apple Health. RUNS, WALKS AND RIDES (OATH PRO) Track one with GPS and watch the route draw itself, coloured by how fast you moved, then play the whole thing back afterwards at the pace you ran it. Every kilometre or mile is timed with the quickest marked, and every route is kept, so Oath knows one you have run before and where this time stands among them. A run recorded on Apple Watch reads your heart rate from Apple Health, where it stays: charted across the run, the time in each of five zones, and a plain word on how hard it was, whether it drifted while your pace held, and how quickly you came down afterwards. And what you could race over a mile, ten, a half or the whole marathon. ACTIVITIES (OATH PRO) Not every session is a workout. Time a climb, a swim, a game, tai chi or qigong, or log one afterwards, and add activities of your own. WIDGETS, COMPLICATIONS AND CONTROLS Eight widgets for the Home Screen, the Lock Screen and StandBy: your Oath and streak, today's training, your last session with its map, days free of something, and a stoic line each day. Four complications for your watch face, and Start Run, Start Workout and Breathe in Control Centre and on the Action button. My Oath and Stoic Quote are free; the rest are Oath Pro. ABSTAIN Vow to go without something and count the days free of it. Streaks, milestones, the money and time you win back, urges resisted, and a quiet way to begin again after a slip. One is free; as many as you like with Oath Pro. JOURNAL (OATH PRO) A private page for each day, opened by a stoic prompt. Encrypted on your device, held behind Face ID, and synced with iCloud. FOCUS (OATH PRO) Shut out the apps that pull you away while you train or sit. They return the moment your session ends. Block the ones you name, or keep only those you name and block the rest. SHARE WHAT YOU DID A run or a workout as a picture worth sending: your route in the colours you ran it with distance, time and pace, or your time, volume, sets and records with the best set of each exercise. A recorded route can go as a short video of itself being run. Never carrying your vow. PROGRESS PHOTOS (OATH PRO) A day on its own, or two and the span between them, with the change in bodyweight if you want it there. Oath lifts you out of the room you were standing in, puts your own colour back over the edge rather than trimming it away, and stands you the same size in both halves however far from the camera you were. Set yourself against Oath's wash, light or dark, and your time-lapse takes the same backdrops. A WEEK LOOKED BACK ON Renewing your Oath says you meant it today. Once a week, Oath puts your vow back in front of you and asks the harder question: did it hold? Either answer is recorded as plainly as the other. MUSIC AND ROUTINES (OATH PRO) Give a routine the music downloaded on your iPhone, a folder of your own files, or a Spotify link, and it starts when the workout does. Tap the set count mid-workout to skip, pause or choose a track without leaving it. Send a routine, or a whole workout, as plain text that imports straight back into Oath, bands and all. ALSO IN THIS RELEASE A hundred and ten lines of Stoicism, each sourced to its passage in Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus or Seneca. Workouts recorded elsewhere can be brought in from Apple Health. Tap any distance to switch between kilometres and miles, wherever it appears. New achievements for running, abstinence and the journal.
