Puffin' 1.5.2 has been on the App Store since November 9, 2026. You can set your own rest on Apple Watch, the Watch stays smoother while you rest, and there's a Turkey Trot ready for Thanksgiving. Here's what's in it.

Set your own rest on Apple Watch

Turn the Digital Crown to choose a rest from 15 seconds to 5 minutes, or tap +15 or −15 while you rest. Your Watch remembers the length you last used.

A smoother Apple Watch

Swipes, Double Tap and the Crown stay responsive during a rest. The rest bar and the workout clock tick together when your wrist is down.

A Turkey Trot for Thanksgiving

From November 19, the Feed has a Thanksgiving card. Tap it to start a one-day walk challenge for Thanksgiving Day, ready to go and yours to change.

Report a challenge

You can now report a challenge from its menu, and every report has a Copyright or trademark reason.

Smaller things

  • Your puffin is bigger on the map while you record.
  • Hiking boots now fit properly, with no fur poking out around the feet.
