Hand Washing

In a clear sign of the times, watchOS 7 will now offer the ability to track your handwashing habits, automatically detecting when you begin washing your hands based on your hand motions recorded by the accelerometer as well as listening for the sounds of running water and swishing soap.

A countdown screen will be shown, along with haptic sounds to track how long you wash your hands, along with reminders to wash longer as necessary, and a “Well done” message when you’ve washed them sufficiently.
