Apple's latest WatchOS 26 introduces Workout Buddy, an AI feature that provides spoken encouragement and metrics while working in tandem with Apple earbuds like AirPods and Beats. Within hours of installation, early testers experienced its ability to motivate and announce fitness statistics during workouts. Samsung's Running Coach, launched with the Galaxy Watch 8, offers similar AI guidance; however, it personalizes training plans after an initial assessment, establishing a baseline for performance and setting target paces during workouts for competitive tracking.
Workout Buddy on the Apple Watch delivers AI-powered spoken encouragement, announces fitness metrics, and works with Apple earbuds, enhancing the workout experience through motivational statistics.
Samsung's Running Coach establishes a baseline through a 12-minute test, assigns a score, and creates personalized training plans with targeted paces and targeted interval training.
