A dial that fills the watch - The dial is bigger — 144 points across, up from 128. It bulges into the empty middles of the top and bottom bars, because the corners are where the controls actually sit and the middles were never being used. - Distance is a proper system button in the top-left corner now. Tap it and the watch says how far you have gone and how long you have been out — the point of a figure you cannot always look at. - The heart rate grows when there is no speed to show, and the readout beneath it shrinks rather than vanishing, so the tap that swaps speed for pace is still there. - The wind marker used to be green figures on a yellow gauge, which was the least readable thing on the screen. They sit on a black capsule now, the wind coloured by its strength and the gust in white. - And the watch opens on the page you left it on. The forecast fits on the page - The hourly forecast — the thing the weather page is for — sat below the bottom of the screen. Nothing clipped it and nothing failed; it was simply below the fold, with the page dots across the rain-chance row. The whole column fits now. - The last-updated time has moved out from under the strip, which was the one place on the page nothing can be read, up into the corner. Tapping it fetches again — the only real answer to the question a timestamp raises. - The page was also asking for the weather twice on every change of location. Once is enough. What the watch says out loud - The forecast is spoken once, as you set off, and it now tells you when the rain arrives rather than how likely the next hour is. Rain at 23:00 is what decides how far out you turn; a bare percentage is not. - It is shorter with it. "Temperature 21.4 degrees" is now "21 degrees", and a gust is named only when the gust is genuinely worse than the wind — not every time the two differ by a hair. - In pace mode the watch says your pace, not your speed. Spoken figures exist for the moments you are not looking at the screen, so one that disagrees with the visible number is work at exactly the wrong time. - In Chinese the zones are shorter too: 「4區」 rather than 「第4區間」. Your rides, and their files - The Workouts list on your iPhone was empty for a reason that had nothing to do with your riding: it was waiting on a Strava account it never needed. Reading your rides, drawing their routes and writing a file were never Strava's business. The list works. - Exported rides now agree with themselves. Lap timings and durations line up with the timestamps beside them, so a route planner reads back the ride you actually did. On your iPhone - The app has its own colour again. It had been quietly tinting itself system blue, under a heart-shaped icon, because the accent colour it was told to use did not exist. - Every colour that carries text or an icon has been measured for contrast rather than eyeballed — a red that reads as a tab glyph is not a red you can read a sentence in.
