Billed as the biggest update to its wearable interface since the Apple Watch debuted in 2015, WatchOS 10 enhances the function and performance of this essential device
Apple WatchOS 10, set to be released later this year, is the most significant overhaul of the device’s user interface since it. It it also the latest instalment of Apple’s most intriguing, on-going design story. With a mission to rationalise and clarify the way we use a device far more capable and multi-functional than it was at launch, Apple has dramatically improved the look and user experience of Apple Watch in the process.
The more information-rich apps, such as Activity, now offer Vertical Pagination which allows you to access distinct and colour-coded infographic screens rather than a fussy infinite scroll. The Weather app in particular has been given a serious upgrade in looks and functionality. In other apps, the Digital Crown now has extra functional oomph.
Powered by the ‘relevancy engine’, Smart Stack has been designed to roll out only useful information at a useful time, from morning weather forecasts to calendar reminders and tickets and boarding passes when travelling. It also allows instant access to other apps at work at the same time, such as music or podcasts. You can add your preferred widgets to the information flow and some apps offer alternative widget layouts.
Apple Watch offers other geeky pleasures of course, and WatchOS 10 offers advanced new metrics for cyclists. When a cycling workout is started on the watch, a simple tap will activate a full-screen Live Activity display on iPhone and the upgrade means an Apple Watch can automatically connect to Bluetooth-enabled cycling accessories such as power meters and speed and cadence sensors.
