WatchOS 10 is without a doubt one of the new Apple operating systems that has improved the most compared to the previous generation, giving your Watch a much more interesting and different look and that, in the absence of a new design, these new software is going to make you feel your smartwatch differently, but, why has it been such an interesting update? Let’s see it below:
Before getting fully into the article, it is important to remember what the Watch that are compatible with this latest version. Specifically, from series 4 it is compatible with the tenth generation of the operating system and to update it, you need a iPhone XS or XR onwards.
Suggestions and new spheres
From the main screen, we now have access to different Widgets that make up a smart view for when you need it. For example, if you activate a timer, when you click on the digital Crown, you’ll see timer suggestions, giving you access to a lot of information at any time.
we also have two new spheres in the tenth generation of watchOS 10. The first one is the pallettewhich is an application where time changes its colors depending on the layer you choose made up of three colors.
The other new sphere is the snoopy animated animationswith many different functions and animations that are interacting, with the hands of the clock and that are related to time that takes place in your location.
App redesign
Apple has introduced the redesign of many native apps with the aim of giving a fresh air to your Watch. For example, now the app World clock It allows you to know the time in different countries of the world through a screen that changes its color depending on the time of day that it is there. For example, if we talk to a friend of ours in Colombia, until 12 in the morning, Spanish time, they won’t be able to answer you because he would be sleeping. This information will be shown to you by the Watch indicating that on its screen it is night.
The activity app has also undergone a redesign, including icons in the corners, to be able to access a weekly summary, share activity or the prizes, so that we can see all the trophies and challenges of the activity that we have been seeing over time. Within the presentation, we also presented the app design wireframe, with the aim of developers adapting their apps to the new Apple presentation. Finally, there has also been a redesign of other apps, such as telephone, weather, stock, maps and music. In short, an incredible change to this new generation of Watch.
Sports
The sports apps It has included new novelties that will come in handy for some sports. For example, the cyclists who use the Watch to find out information about their activity, will now have the possibility to connect it to different sensors on the bike and find out the pedaling power during your activity. This will allow us to know the different training zones and how long we stay in it.
Also, the hiking app has taken a leap forward thanks to the compass app, where it will mark the last location that we had before the connection was lost and in case of emergency, another point will also be added indicating where you can call any operator. In addition, they announced an elevation view where you will be able to see a three-dimensional view to know the activities on the ground.
