Speaking of Check In, you should try it out in watchOS 11. First launched for iPhone in iOS 17, Check In gives users the ability to share their location with friends and family. When you set a Check In, your assigned contact will get alerted if you don’t let them know when you’ve arrived at your destination safely.

In WatchOS 11 you can finally adjust your activity rings and take a rest day if you're sick. In the Activity app, tap on the three rings and then tap pause rings. You can pause for the day, week or month, or you can set a custom target.
