As we can see from the video there are some great new features for the Apple Watch in the watchOS 10 software update, this includes a range of design changes, updates to existing apps, and much more.
One of the most noticeable changes in WatchOS 10 is the revamped user interface. The update aims to make the UI visually more appealing and user-friendly. This is not just a cosmetic change; it’s a strategic move to enhance the overall user experience, aligning it more closely with iOS 17 for a cohesive feel across Apple’s ecosystem.
WatchOS 10 introduces a feature that learns from your daily usage patterns to optimize battery health. It controls the charge limit based on your habits, ensuring that your device’s battery lifespan is extended.
Watch faces are the first thing you see when you glance at your Apple Watch, and WatchOS 10 doesn’t disappoint in this department. The update introduces new watch faces like Nike and Snoopy. For those who own the Apple Watch Ultra, there’s an exclusive modular Ultra watch face to make your device stand out.

For cyclists and hikers, WatchOS 10 brings specific updates like advanced cycling metrics and elevation alerts. These features aim to provide a more comprehensive workout tracking experience.
Gone are the days of scrolling through apps in a hexagonal pattern. WatchOS 10 changes the app screen to a vertical scroll, making it easier to navigate through your apps. If you prefer a more organized view, you can also switch to a list view.
The Maps and Compass apps have been overhauled to show topographic maps with trails and elevation. However, it’s worth noting that this feature is currently limited to users in the United States.
