Apple Watch can now track your sleep in a much more detailed manner – thanks to watchOS 9. The latest software update to all supported Apple Watch models now allows users to track their sleep data in a more detailed fashion akin to the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro and other fitness focused watches. What's surprising is that it took Apple a couple of years to bring this feature to the Apple Watch that most affordable fitness trackers have been offering as standard.

Sadly, the Apple Watch still cannot track sleep on its own and it requires the user to put it into Sleep mode to do so. However, once in Sleep mode, compatible Apple Watch models with watchOS 9 will be able to bring more in-depth analysis of Sleep data, alongside additional metrics such as heart rate and respiratory rate.
