Apple has given ABC News an exclusive look at its health and fitness lab where tests and development are done for its features.
Jeff Williams, Apple’s senior vice president of Operations said that Apple employees volunteered to undergo a range of workouts for the past 2 years to test the functionalities of the Apple Watch.
The lab also used “climate chambers,” to have fitness participants test the watch in different environments, Apple’s director of Fitness and Health technologies, Jay Blahnik, said.
We have traveled to Alaska and gone to Dubai to really test Apple Watch in all those environments, but we also wanted to be able to have a controlled environment here where we could see those extremes, he said.
