Q: How is Headroom different from Apple's Readiness?

Apple’s Readiness score is available only on Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4, and apps cannot read it. Horef Rings calculates a separate estimate from records any recent Apple Watch makes: sleep against the user’s own need, overnight HRV, resting heart rate, breathing rate and wrist temperature against a 28-day personal norm, and recent active energy. The weights and rules are shown in the app. It is a wellness estimate, not a medical measurement, and not Apple’s score.

Question 1

How is Headroom different from Apple's Readiness?

Accepted Answer

Apple&#8217;s Readiness score is available only on Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4, and apps cannot read it. Horef Rings calculates a separate estimate from records any recent Apple Watch makes: sleep against the user&#8217;s own need, overnight HRV, resting heart rate, breathing rate and wrist temperature against a 28-day personal norm, and recent active energy. The weights and rules are shown in the app. It is a wellness estimate, not a medical measurement, and not Apple&#8217;s score.

Question 2

What do the Horef Rings trial and Pro unlock?

Accepted Answer

The trial unlocks everything for 14 days and never charges or converts into a purchase. After it, date, time, batteries, steps and activity arcs stay free. Headroom with its history and awards, the full catalogue of 75 metrics, weather, calendar, health displays and iPhone widgets need Pro, a single $4.99 purchase shared with Family Sharing.

Question 3

How often do Horef Rings complications update?

Accepted Answer

watchOS decides when complications refresh, so values are snapshots rather than continuous monitoring. Horef Rings shares one refresh between all of its complications and keeps the last good value when a reading is temporarily unavailable, such as Health data on a locked iPhone. The watch computes Headroom on its own and uses the iPhone&#8217;s longer history when it is fresh.
