On the surface, the Apple Watch Series 12 doesn’t appear to be a major upgrade over last year’s release and, in many ways, it isn’t. But after a week of wearing it day and night, I noticed that the Series 12 feels more intuitive, putting fewer steps between me and the information I need from my everyday smartwatch. 从表面上看，Apple Watch Series 12 似乎并不是对去年产品的重大升级，在很多方面确实如此。但经过一周的昼夜佩戴，我发现 Series 12 使用起来更加直观，让我获取日常智能手表所需信息的过程变得更加简便。

Health tracking is more thorough, thanks to a new Health Sensing System and faster S11 chip. The watchOS 27 update, first announced at WWDC in June and finally available to consumers, gives the Apple Watch a cleaner, streamlined interface that positions Siri AI at the center of the user experience. The most notable addition is perhaps Audio Intelligence, a suite of listening tools powered by Apple Intelligence. Plus, in a fun return, the Series 12 also comes in ceramic, a premium finish Apple discontinued in 2020. 得益于全新的健康传感系统和更快的 S11 芯片，健康追踪功能更加全面。watchOS 27 更新（最初于 6 月的 WWDC 上发布，现已面向消费者推出）为 Apple Watch 带来了更简洁、更精简的界面，将 Siri AI 置于用户体验的核心。最值得注意的新增功能或许是“音频智能”，这是一套由 Apple Intelligence 驱动的听觉工具。此外，令人惊喜的是，Series 12 还推出了陶瓷材质版本，这是苹果在 2020 年停产的高端材质。

Not everyone needs the upgrade, though. If you’re coming from the Series 8 or older, the Series 12 is a generational leap, with a better display, longer battery life, and newer health features, including sleep apnea and hypertension notifications. Owners of the Series 9 or 10 have fewer reasons to swap, but the battery improvements alone (18 hours to 24 hours) may be compelling. If you already have the Series 11, Audio Intelligence probably isn’t going to be enough to justify replacing a watch that’s already capable of most of the same functions. 不过，并非每个人都需要升级。如果你使用的是 Series 8 或更早的机型，Series 12 是一次代际飞跃，拥有更好的显示屏、更长的续航以及包括睡眠呼吸暂停和高血压通知在内的更新健康功能。Series 9 或 10 的用户更换的理由较少，但仅电池续航的提升（从 18 小时增加到 24 小时）可能就足以令人心动。如果你已经拥有 Series 11，那么“音频智能”可能不足以成为更换手表的充分理由，因为旧款手表已经具备了大部分相同的功能。

Polished, Inside and Out

由内而外的精致

Visually, Apple isn’t fixing what isn’t broken, and I’m not mad about it. The Series 12 looks nearly identical to its predecessors, but Apple highlights it as its thinnest Apple Watch yet. The aluminum and titanium models measure 9.7 millimeters thick, and the ceramic option is 9.85 millimeters thick. I didn’t notice a difference during everyday wear, but the Apple Watch Series remains one of the most comfortable smartwatches I’ve tested. Aside from the new Hermès collection, there aren’t any new band designs this year, but Apple has added new colors to the existing lineup. 在外观上，苹果没有去改动那些无需改变的地方，我对此并不反感。Series 12 的外观与前代产品几乎一模一样，但苹果强调它是迄今为止最薄的 Apple Watch。铝金属和钛金属型号厚度为 9.7 毫米，陶瓷版本厚度为 9.85 毫米。在日常佩戴中我没有感觉到差异，但 Apple Watch 系列依然是我测试过的最舒适的智能手表之一。除了新的爱马仕系列外，今年没有新的表带设计，但苹果为现有系列增加了新的配色。

The new finishes are exciting, particularly the return of ceramic. Apple first offered a ceramic option with the Series 2 in 2016, and it was discontinued in 2020. Today, it’s available in pearl white and night blue, both of which give the Series 12 a softer finish that looks more like an accessory. The ceramic feels more like a fashionable move rather than a functional one, but Apple is following a trend seen across brands like Oura. 新的材质令人兴奋，尤其是陶瓷材质的回归。苹果在 2016 年的 Series 2 上首次提供了陶瓷选项，并于 2020 年停产。如今，它有珍珠白和午夜蓝两种颜色可选，两者都赋予了 Series 12 更柔和的质感，看起来更像是一件配饰。陶瓷材质更像是一种时尚举措而非功能性升级，但苹果此举正顺应了 Oura 等品牌所展现的趋势。

I’m testing the aluminum model in the new dark bronze finish, which has become my favorite. It complements most of my wardrobe and gives the watch a more cosmopolitan look than some of Apple’s sportier colorways. Aluminum models are also available in the standard light gold, black, and space gray; titanium comes in natural and a new radiant gold. The aluminum models are now coated with Ceramic Shield 2, which Apple says is 60 percent tougher than the previous Ion-X glass. I haven’t had enough time with the watch to meaningfully test that durability claim, but for someone who tends to knock their smartwatch on doors and countertops, it’s an improvement I’ll happily accept. 我正在测试的是新款深青铜色的铝金属型号，它已成为我的最爱。它与我大部分的服装都很搭，并且比苹果一些更具运动感的配色看起来更具都市感。铝金属型号还有标准的浅金色、黑色和深空灰色可选；钛金属型号则有原色和新款亮金色。铝金属型号现在覆盖了 Ceramic Shield 2 涂层，苹果称其比之前的 Ion-X 玻璃坚固 60%。我还没有足够的时间来充分验证这一耐用性声明，但对于像我这样容易把智能手表磕碰到门和台面上的人来说，这是一个我乐于接受的改进。

Battery life remains rated at 24 hours, which is slightly disappointing when competitors can go longer between charges. The saving grace is faster charging. Fifteen minutes of charging now provides up to 12 hours of battery life, and five minutes gets you up to 10 hours of sleep tracking. This has been the most useful upgrade for me. I can set the watch to charge while I’m getting ready for bed and put it back on for sleep tracking. 电池续航依然维持在 24 小时，考虑到竞争对手的充电间隔更长，这略显令人失望。唯一的慰藉是更快的充电速度。现在充电 15 分钟即可提供长达 12 小时的续航，充电 5 分钟即可支持长达 10 小时的睡眠追踪。这是对我而言最实用的升级。我可以在准备睡觉时给手表充电，然后再戴上它进行睡眠追踪。

The Series 12 ships with watchOS 27, but most of the software changes will also arrive on compatible older Apple Watches. I particularly love the revamped app layout. Instead of having to hunt through a sea of icons or scroll through an exhaustive list, Apple now surfaces five Siri AI-suggested apps, the Siri app, and a shortcut to the full app grid. The apps I need most are immediately available without cluttering the display. Series 12 出厂搭载 watchOS 27，但大部分软件更新也会推送给兼容的旧款 Apple Watch。我特别喜欢重新设计的应用布局。苹果现在不再需要在一堆图标中寻找或滚动浏览冗长的列表，而是直接显示五个 Siri AI 建议的应用、Siri 应用以及进入完整应用网格的快捷方式。我最需要的应用可以立即使用，而不会让屏幕显得杂乱。

Apple is also making the watch easier to navigate with one hand, adding a single-tap gesture to Apple’s existing double-tap and wrist-flick controls. Tap your index finger and thumb together to select widgets in Smart Stack; double-tap lets you scroll through them. A wrist flick can return you to the watch face, silence timers, or dismiss notifications. These gestures are particularly handy (ha) when you’re multitasking or if you want to use your watch discreetly. 苹果还让手表单手操作变得更容易，在现有的双指互点和手腕翻转控制基础上，增加了单次点击手势。食指和拇指互点可以选择“智能叠放”中的小组件；双指互点可以滚动浏览它们。翻转手腕可以返回表盘、静音计时器或清除通知。当你正在处理多任务或想低调使用手表时，这些手势特别方便。

Better at Reading You

更懂你的健康状况

The new S11 chip brings the standard round of faster CPU and GPU performance, along with a more efficient Neural Engine. S11 also powers a remodeled pedometer to improve step counts and distance measurements, particularly during indoor walks and runs. Compared to Series 11, I didn’t notice much difference in numbers. I do, though, appreciate the new Steps complication, which puts my real-time step count on the watch face, so I can check my progress without opening the Activity app. 全新的 S11 芯片带来了常规的 CPU 和 GPU 性能提升，以及更高效的神经网络引擎。S11 还驱动了一个重构的计步器，以提高步数和距离测量的准确性，特别是在室内步行和跑步时。与 Series 11 相比，我在数据上没有发现太大差异。不过，我很喜欢新的“步数”复杂功能，它将我的实时步数显示在表盘上，这样我就无需打开“健身记录”应用即可查看进度。

The bigger hardware upgrade is Apple’s new Health Sensing System. The Series 12 has 32 electrodes for improved skin contact during ECG readings, compared with two on the Series 11. The photodiodes have been rearranged in a ring configuration. 更大的硬件升级是苹果全新的健康传感系统。Series 12 拥有 32 个电极，可在心电图（ECG）测量期间改善皮肤接触，而 Series 11 只有 2 个。光电二极管也已重新排列为环形配置。
