WithwatchOS 10, Apple breathed new life into the Apple Watch, without even changing the hardware design.
Now, watchOS finally embraces buttons, and higher information density across the board.
By default, Apple adds a Smart Stack, a dynamic array of widgets that it thinks youll like.
If you have a timer, workout, or music playing, the widget will show up here automatically.
you might keep turning the Digital Crown to see more of these widgets, as well.
The real fun starts when you customize the widgets.
Tap and hold the screen to enter the edit mode, then start by editing the triple shortcut widget.
From here, you’ve got the option to tap thePlusbutton to add more widgets.
TapPinto keep a widget at the top of the list.
TapDoneand youre ready to go.
Well, the old Dock, which showed a list of recently used apps, is dead.
(Long live the Dock.)
Instead, pressing the Side button now opens the Control Center.
Well survive this, but come on Apple: Bring this one back.
All apps were spread away from the center, so you had to swipe across to find an app.
Now, the honeycomb app screen itself is now contained within the boundaries of the Apple Watch.
Its a great change, and something you should try if you switched to List view long ago.
Plus, app now feature buttons all over the place.
What was once hidden behind tap-and-hold menus is now available in the corners of the screen.
The app screens themselves now display a lot more data.
(The weather apps new home screen is a great example of this change.)
For example, if a timer is finished, simply tapping your fingers twice will dismiss it.
