Of course, new watch faces are coming to the Apple Watch, but the redesigned widgets, maps, and health features are more useful than Snoopy clock hands.
As with iOS 17 updates, the watchOS 10 the developer beta is also available from today, the public beta from July and the final system in autumn with the 9th generation of the Watch. watchOS 10 changes the way the user handles the Apple Watch. In the new system, by scrolling down or up from the dial, you can reach the digital crown widgets, which on the one hand display information, and on the other hand are interactive. The pre-installed apps all get widgets, and more are designed to be used as quickly and easily as possible using the full display of the watch. Some of the user interfaces of the factory apps have also been redesigned to make better use of larger displays, and the opportunity is also given to third-party developers.
The way the buttons can be used on the watch is also changing, from now on the control center (side button) and recently used apps (double click on the crown) will be available with buttons. There are a couple of new interactive dials, including one with Snoopy the dog and Woodstock and one called Palette, which changes color as time passes.

The list of recording health and fitness data is also expanding. On the one hand, under watchOS 10 (and with iOS 17), Apple Health includes options focusing on mental health, you can log how you feel, you can get an overview of your condition by answering standardized questions, and your watch can notify us based on these and our activity data about the likelihood we suffer from depression, and we can send our results as an evaluation similar to a medical report to the appropriate specialist and ask for help. In the section dealing with mental health, the Health app also offers tips and articles to help you maintain your mental health.

In terms of fitness functions, the bike functions are enriched, you can specify individual training plans based on route, elevation, speed, and you can follow your current cycling performance as a live activity on the iPhone. Cycling accessories can also be connected to the Watch, which can now calculate functional threshold performance during bike training.

The range of hiking opportunities is also improving. The Apple Watch now supports the display of our destination and the route (track) from the wrist, even in a 3D view with the built-in altimeter. Watches equipped with an LTE antenna will be able to remember where there was a mobile network last time and the coverage at which an emergency call can be made, to mark these two points on the map and, if necessary, automatically navigate back to the position necessary to send an SOS signal. US users also get topographic maps on the watch with contour lines, hill markings, elevation data, and marked landmarks. This is clearly designed for the Ultra’s huge display, but it’s a shame that the map will only be available in the US market for now.

With the help of the ambient light sensor built into the watches, watchOS 10 is able to log in the Health application how much time we spent in sunlight — that is, outside — the parent will see the data of the watch set for the children, with tips on how much time is appropriate for the child’s age for a kid to spend outdoors. Recorded data is saved encrypted and synchronized. Medicine reminders are also updated, if the user does not respond to the first warning, the system will automatically send a new one after 30 minutes to remind him to take his medicine.

The Apple Fitness+ service is also being updated, but this is not yet available at home, so more detailed personalized training plans are not so relevant for us, but it will be possible to import individual training for the class from external apps on our market as well. They said that watchOS 10 requires at least Apple Watch Series 4 to run, and it will be available to install from autumn.
