We'll just have to take his word on those stats, but with dozens of researchers and medical professionals studying even larger numbers of exercising employees every day for years, it becomes easy to see how Apple can log those sorts of numbers. And those efforts should be visible in the upcoming WatchOS 4, which will reportedly include high-intensity interval training and the ability to pair with cardio machines.

Apple's smartwatch has done well for the company, which is a major leader in the wearables industry, sporting around 50 percent year over year growth of its wearables sector during this year's second quarter. The next version of the Apple Watch will reportedly have built-in cellular network support, meaning you won't have to tote around your iPhone to use it. The launch date for WatchOS 4 is expected to be announced at Apple's September 12th event.
