Apple Releases watchOS 11.3 With New Black Unity Watch Face

[MacRumors]

Apple today released watchOS 11.3, the third major update to the operating system that runs on the Apple Watch. watchOS 11.3 is compatible with the Apple Watch Series 6 and later, all Apple Watch Ultra models, and the Apple Watch SE 2.

watchOS 11.3 can be downloaded on an iPhone running iOS 18.3 by opening up the Apple Watch app and going to General > Software Update. To install the new software, the Apple Watch needs to have at least 50 percent battery and it needs to be placed on a charger.

The watchOS 11.3 update introduces a new Black Unity watch face for the Apple Watch, which is designed to match a new band that came out today. According to Apple, the new watch face and band are "inspired by the rhythm of humanity," with Black creatives and allies at Apple collaborating on the designs.

More of the features available in watchOS 11 can be found in our watchOS 11 roundup.

Stuck at estimated time remaining. Phone updated just fine as did iPad.

Not updating immediately. Hopefully the screenshot bug, where the screenshots are not transferred to Photos on iOS is fixed. Not sure whether the issue is with watchOS or iOS. Anyway will update both soon and see.

If the new watch face is the headlining feature, why doesn't the article include a picture of it?

Is the watch face the only update? I will not risk an update for pretty faces. Is there nothing functionally important?

Hooray, another "Unity" watch face reminding us of how different we are.

Doesn’t seem the pivotal release that 11.2 was.

Interesting timing of your post. I just recently took a couple of screenshots of my S10. I expected to see them in the Photos app, no different than if done from phone or iPad. It took me some time, but I did locate one of them under “Imports” within the “Utilities” section. Still have not located the other one.
