Apple Releases watchOS 10: Major UI Change and Exciting New Features

New watchOS 10 Released by Apple

On September 19th, Apple made an official announcement regarding the release of watchOS 10. This marks the first major overhaul of the user interface for the Apple Watch since its initial launch, with a focus on improving widgets. Users can now expect an increase in the amount of information that can be seen on the screen, even on the smaller display.

One notable addition in this latest operating system is the introduction of the “Snoopy” dial palette. In addition, there have been improvements to the measurement features for cycling and hiking, as well as enhancements to the Compass app. The Mindfulness app now allows users to record their moment-to-moment emotions and daily moods, offering a more comprehensive tool for self-reflection.

Additionally, watchOS 10 is compatible with the iOS 17 feature called NameDrop, which brings added convenience to Apple Watch users. The medication app has also been updated with a reminder function to help users stay on track with their medication schedules.

watchOS 10 release notes

Experience

The app has undergone a redesign, taking advantage of the device’s rounded corners and full display. Smart stacks can now be viewed by rotating the Digital Crown from any screen, providing timely information based on factors such as the time of day and location. The Control Center can be accessed with a single press of the Digital Crown, allowing quick access to all apps and recent app history.

Dial

The “Snoopy” dial offers users more than 100 animated interactions between Snoopy, Woodstock, and various activities based on the time of day and local weather. The “Palette” dial uses overlapping layers to create vibrant colors, while the “Solar Analog” dial displays time and weather information. Additional dial options include the “Modular Ultra” dial, which adjusts its lighting and shadowing effects throughout the day based on the position of the sun, providing real-time data on the watch face with user-selectable options and seven complications (available on Apple Watch Ultra).

Messages

Users can now view Memojis or photos from their contacts directly on their Apple Watch. Frequently used items can be pinned, and edits, unsends, and sorting options are available for unreceived messages.

Physical Education

Cycling workouts now support Bluetooth-enabled sensors such as power meters, speed sensors, and cadence sensors. Users can view power and cadence metrics during their cycling workouts, as well as create personalized power zones based on their functional work threshold power. The Apple Watch provides real-time data on cycling speed, maximum speed, distance, heart rate, and power output. This information can be conveniently displayed on the iPhone when attached to the bike handlebars for easy viewing.

Activity

Icons in the corner of the screen provide quick access to Weekly Overview, Share, and Badges. Turning the Digital Crown allows users to cycle through their moves, exercises, and standing activities. Along with customizable goals, users can track their steps, distance, floors climbed, and activity history. Weekly summaries provide a comprehensive view of exercise, standing, and movement totals. Activity sharing allows users to stay connected with friends’ progress and receive helpful tips from top trainers on Fitness+.

Fitness+

With Fitness+, users can create customized exercise and meditation schedules. By selecting activity days, duration, exercise type, coach, music, and plan length, Fitness+ automatically generates a personalized plan. Users can also create a queue of practice sessions and meditations they want to follow.

Compass

The Compass app now includes the “Last Mobile Connection Waypoint” feature, which estimates the last point along the route where the device was able to connect to the carrier’s network. The app also displays points of interest (POI) waypoints saved in Guides in Maps and offers an elevation view for waypoints. Additionally, “Elevation Alerts” can notify users when they exceed a certain height threshold.

Map

The Maps app provides walking time estimates to nearby restaurants, shops, and attractions. Information such as business hours and ratings is readily available. Maps can be viewed on a paired Apple Watch within range, and detailed features such as routes, contours, elevations, and attractions are displayed for US national and regional parks. For mountain trails and hiking trails in the US, users can access detailed information such as trail length and elevation.

Weather

The Weather app allows users to quickly check weather information with context-sensitive visual effects. Important data like the UV Index, Air Quality Index, and Wind Speed are easily accessible. Swipe gestures provide access to weather conditions, temperature, precipitation, wind speed, and UV Index. Additional data such as visibility, humidity, and Air Quality Index (AQI) can be viewed by scrolling. The dial also offers hourly and daily “humidity” complications.

Mindful Awareness

The Mindfulness app now includes a “state of mind” review, where users can track their emotions and moods throughout the day. This feature allows users to record how they feel, including factors like work, family, and current events. Reminders for tracking one’s mental state are available through notifications, watch face complications, and tips that appear after Breath and Meditation sessions in Fitness+.

Take Medicine

If users forget to enter their medication within 30 minutes of the designated time, the Apple Watch sends a follow-up reminder. Users can also set follow-up reminders as essential notifications, to be shown even when the device is on silent or in Do Not Disturb mode.

Other Features and Improvements

Additional enhancements include measuring daylight exposure with an ambient light sensor, a grid preview in the Home app, and energy source information for local power. The Apple Watch can now detect videos sent and received by children, and supports FaceTime group audio calls.
