of the experiment. Report any bugs to Apple—your feedback could shape the final
release!

What’s New and Why It Matters

- Astronomy – glide through starry nights.
- Metropolitan – city life never looked so trippy.
- Playtime – ≈ the kidmate of the watch world.
- Lunar – follow the phases on your wrist.
- Sleep Tracking Gets Deep – Sleep stages now come on board, so you’re not just counting naps but actually learning how well your body recharges.
- Medication App – A handy new app to remind you about your meds, because you deserve a little more organization and less “oops, I forgot.”
