Apple Announces watchOS 10 With Widgets, Redesigned Apps, and More

[MacRumors]

Apple today announced watchOS 10, a major update to the operating system for the Apple Watch, introducing a new widgets view, redesigned apps, improvements to workouts, mood tracking, and more.

watchOS 10 features a new way to view information from any watch face with widgets. Simply scroll with the Digital Crown to reveal a dynamic Smart Stack of widgets below the watch face that changes based on the user's needs at any given time of day. watchOS 10 also includes two new watch faces: "Palette" and an animated "Peanuts" face with Snoopy and Woodstock.

Apps across watchOS 10 have also been redesigned. For example, World Clock now features background colors that reflect the time of day in different timezones. The Activity app now features corner icons to navigate, a redesigned trophy case, and a new full-screen view of each individual Activity Ring.

The update also introduces new cycling workout features, including Power Zones, new metrics like Functional Threshold Power, a full-screen view on iPhone, and more. Hiking now integrates Compass and Maps, and watchOS 10 includes a Workout API for developers to integrate.

A new mood tracking feature in the Mindfulness app allows users to scroll through a selection of moods and log metrics. The Health app will then provide insights based on this data on the iPhone. A new feature seeks to decrease risk of myopia using the ambient light sensor to show Time in Daylight, which is also displayed in the Health app.

I hate that the clock is now on the bottom of the screen instead of the top, but I love the redesign they did, more widgets please!

'Member glances? It was way ahead of its time

 

[surfzen21]

LETS GOOOOOO!!

Widget implementation is meh so far.

 

[Kylo83]

So the Home Screen isn’t changed

 

[dmr727]

Wish they'd introduce better customization options for the watch faces.

WatchOS 10 makes the watch so more pro. Hope this is not a reason to kill some grewt watches and force upgrades.

 

[Kylo83]

Even watchOS is nothing major or exciting, apple software really is going downhill year after year im more unimpressed

 

[Motawa]

Meh

 

[ashdelacroix]

This keynote is pretty much a waste of my time so far, a few features aside.

 

[Student of Life]

Snoopy im happy

 

[MacFan782040]

GUYS WE GOT SNOOPY

 

[PhillyGuy72]

2 new watch faces?
Basically 1, I'm too old to be using the Snoopy face. 😒

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

Love Snoopy! Game Changer in Apple Watch OS.

 

[Rogue AI]

Pretty meh.

 

[iosuser]

I was on the phone while playing the event. The only thing that grabbed my attention is the Snoopy watch face for WatchOS. I can't wait. Since I'll never be able to get my hands on a Snoopy Omega, this will do

This keynote is pretty much a waste of my time so far, a few features aside.

Yep. Pretty meh all around.

 

[Wolf Puppy]

Snoopy watch face is awesome!

 

[Kylo83]

I’m never getting hyped for a keynote again it’s always such a let down

coud not agree more. ios, macos, watchos all presentations are almost over yet I feel I am watching some screensaver. Unimoressed, cold, whatever. With Os X every keynote By SJ was me wetting my shorts. Nowdays its like one meh blur of uninteresting boring things. How should I be excited with widgets Now on desktop as a main ftte. Widgets were there years ago. I just cant believe what is going on with Apple.

I still won’t move to android etc but I’m not excited anymore with apple this is all so minor it’s like who is working on these softwares

 

[Special-Ed]

Finally support for cycling sensors!

 

[t0rqx]

Vision Health I said it way before...how does this work with the AR/VR goggles? If Apple indirectly already saying it is bad?

 

[surfzen21]

Finally support for cycling sensors!

I could be wrong but I thought previous WatchOS versions supported BT enabled sensors. Im not sure why this is considered a new introduction. They didnt mention the addition of ANT+ although that would be at the hardware reveal.

 

[Motawa]

Still no watchface store lol
