Summary
Apple’s new Readiness Score is now available on Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4, giving users a dynamic 0-10 recovery-style rating that updates through the day.
The score draws on recent sleep quality, physical activity and vital trends, and Apple says users need seven consecutive nights of wear—with at least four hours of sleep each night—to generate the first reading.
Only watches with Apple’s S11 chip currently support the feature, and setup also requires entering age, height and weight in the Fitness app and keeping activity, vitals and sleep tracking enabled.
Apple breaks the score into four bands—Recover, Pace Yourself, Ready and Go for it—and surfaces it in a dedicated Readiness app and optional home-screen widget alongside other 2026 watch features.
