watchOS 9.2 is out tonight for Apple Watch users. This new update notably brings support for running routes for runners and cyclists. When the same route is covered several times, the Exercise app offers measurements on this route and suggests to cover it faster: you can then run or cycle against yourself. There are other more minor improvements as well as bugfixes.

• Outdoor Run workout now automatically detects when you arrive at a running track and provides track specific metrics
