Besides launching a range of new products at its annual Worldwide Developers Conference, Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) also previewed its watchOS 10 for Apple Watch.
The Cupertino, Calif.-based company said the update allows users a fresh approach to quickly view information with redesigned apps, a new Smart Stack to show relevant widgets when needed, and new watch faces.
New metrics, Workout Views, and Bluetooth connectivity for power meters, speed sensors, and cadence sensors was introduced for cyclists, while new Compass Waypoints and Maps capabilities can further help hikers.
Meanwhile, the Mindfulness app offers additional tools to support mental health, the company added.
Apple noted that the watchOS 10 is available as a developer beta on Monday, and will be available as a free software update this fall.
"The update gives users the information that matters most to them at a glance, simplified navigation, and a new visual language that takes full advantage of the Apple Watch display. Weâre also introducing the Smart Stack, offering quick access to proactive and relevant information, right from the watch face," said Alan Dye, Apple's vice president of Human Interface Design.
