The famous and mysterious Time to Walk function announced by the release candidate of watchOS 7.3 revealed a few secrets (read: A new Unity dial in watchOS 7.3). We had already spotted it in the form of an additional setting in the Watch app, Exercises section, without really knowing what it covered.
The release notes gave us a first indication: it is a question of listening to ” inspiring stories Told by guests during a walking activity. A function closely linked to Fitness +, since it was presented by accident in the weekly video announcing every Monday the new workouts offered by the service.
In this case, it was an accidental upload: Apple very quickly deleted the incriminating video, to replace it with the “normal” video. Thanks to iothmane’s sagacity, we know the first guests. Singer Shawn Mendez, country icon Dolly Parton, basketball player Draymond Green and actress Uzo Aduba will provide stories to listen to as you walk with the Apple Watch.
The lengths of these stories will vary, and new ones will be added each week. It will be possible to launch this activity directly from the Apple Watch Exercise app, via a new activity Place for walking, and even record these stories on the watch. Unfortunately, it is extremely likely that only Fitness + subscribers will be able to take advantage of it which de facto excludes French users (the service is available in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand. ).
