The regular free updates to this software mean Apple
Watch owners periodically get access to new features
and interface without having to spend any additional
money.
Apple has announced another major update to
watch OS: watch OS 3.
This version of watch OS 3 will also run on the newly
announced Apple Watch Series 2.

The new Dock feature is set to make navigating through apps much
easier on the Apple Watch.
The Dock will show all of the recent and favorite apps.
The dock can be accessed via the much-maligned side button on the
Apple Watch.

Apple has introduced an instant launch feature, and the apps will
update in the background so that the information displayed is

This update would be loved by the users for the speed boost.

drawing each letter, which the Apple Watch will convert into text.

in the world, even if the user is travelling, this app can be used to call

Siri has received a small update, where a tap is now felt
when Siri is no longer active.
13. Golden Master
(GM) For Developers
Apple has just released the watch OS 3
Golden Master (GM) for developers.
If the user has already installed watch OS
beta 6, then user can proceed to the Watch
app on their iOS 10 beta 6 iPhone and
download it.
There's yet to be a public beta for watch OS
the way there has been for iOS and OS X.
The process for installing the software is
more complicated, and really meant for
developers only.
User can install a certificate on their Apple
Watch, then download the software to their
iPhone running iOS 10 beta, transfer it to
use further.
