Overview
- The new tiers are Very Low 0–40, Low 41–60, OK 61–80, High 81–95, and Very High 96–100, raising thresholds across the board.
- The label previously called Excellent now reads Very High, which Apple says is a more objective descriptor.
- Apple states that data capture and calculations remain the same, with scoring still based on Duration (50 points), Bedtime (30), and Interruptions (20).
- The changes appear in the first watchOS 26.2 beta released on November 4, 2025, with wider release not yet announced.
- Early reactions note that short, restless nights can still receive a High rating, suggesting some outcomes may continue to feel generous.
