Best Apple Watch update ever - agree or disagree? Well done, Apple! 🫡
I feel like next updates will be a lot better but for now, it’s amazing!
Agree, this is huge! quite a few bugs like adding complications to lock screen not working. it worked at first but then... stopped!
Did you put it on your main device?
Umm the removal of the app switcher is a downgrade.
Worst update definitely... I switch between faces with different complications all day. How could they remove the fast sideways switching 🤦🏻♂️ 4:03
This is why I love software. Makes your existing product feel new. 😊
You forget it's a craig federighi's software. Do you think OS 10 will be 2x slower? 4x? Even more?
@@Bohdan_HI-TECH i'm using it on a series 4 and it is fine
@@Bohdan_HI-TECH You are giving an opinion on software that you obviously haven’t even tried. This is just the first developer beta and it’s already fast and stable. Three months before it’s due for release and working great from day 1
@@drdrew3 I am giving opinion based on iOS 8.0.1, iOS 9.3.2 on iPads, macOS Big Sur (aka 'Bid Turd') and many other things federighi and his team are responsible for. Maybe this time it will be different, but Apple post-2012 developers have a long record of low-grade software (especially when it comes to older devices support), programmed obsolescence, etc. I don't see a reason to expect anything else this time
NERD 🫵🤓
Personally I prefer the fact that on iOS 9 there was a lot of black as background, so the black boundary of the display was not visible and the screen appears larger. It can be seen especially in the control center.
That's because "hey look everyone, no black border with the newer watch, update now!"
The watch also features a tiny battery. For me, the black background was intentional to maximize battery life. Older watches will probably suffer a lot
Apple is now confident in the bezel of the Apple Watch. Apple loves the gradient background.
It looks fresh but it will definitely use some more battery
I came here to say this as well
4:10 maybe it's just me, but as someone who was always accidentally switching watch faces (in my sleep, throughout the day, etc) multiple times a week, i'm thrilled about this change! lol
I just wish it was optional.
That happened to me too
I completely respect your view Nick, in fact because I'm so infuriated by this change it's sort of nice to know that there are people like you who it helps, but for me it's the single most disappointing thing about this otherwise really exciting update. I have my watch set up with the main watch face that looks very traditional and pleasing to me without too many complications but like Brandon in the video I also for some reason look at my heart rate a lot so I have an alternate infographic modular (or whatever it's called) watch face I can swipe right to that shows my 24 hour heartrate stats and also has quick icon access to workouts, blood-ox, ECG and the activity rings at the top left. I'm really going to miss that.
@@gizmo2445 I completely agree. From what I can see from Brandon's really comprehensive walk through of all the new stuff the left and right swipes on the watch face are now unused. If Apple wanted to repurpose those gestures for something else then maybe I could understand this change but unless they do have some new use for the left and right swipes that we haven't seen yet then why oh why not make this change in behaviour optional? I remember back in the old days Apple repurposed the side button on the early iPads from orientation-lock to mute but after a lot of customer pushback did relent and introduce a new option in settings so that the user could select what behaviour they wanted. Just maybe, if Apple doesn't have future plans for these gestures, Apple might relent and make it optional in a future release. I live in hope.
Same! I love my different watch faces but I have them set up with focus to show up at different times and switching accidentally is always a little frustrating
I hope that the disabling of changing watch faces with swipe gestures is a bug or there will be an option to re enable it in settings,
Not a bug, but maybe they’ll add a setting. I’m on the new OS now, and I personally like it this way. I had too many accidental watch face changes when it was just a swipe.
I will miss that feature, I love my wayfinder face but I have a shortcut to open front door in a watch face next, so it was just a swipe away. Now it will be less convenient.
I hope you add the option of the watch0s9 and 10
@@alekseykhoroshilovyou could probably add this in the widgets/smart stacks
I hate that the got rid of side swiping for watch faces and swiping up for the control center. As well as changing how you get to night mode on the wayfinder watch face. They made many things look better and improved functionality in some places while making other things way more clunky then they need to be.
Great idea displaying both watch OS versions side by side. Just zoomed in so I could see both screens much closer instead of all the unnecessary desktop area. So informative! Excellent presentation!
The consistency between iOS and watchOS are gonna be on point! This is all I’ve wanted for so long! 👏🏼
I agree although one area where I think Apple has taken a backward step on that consistency is removing the ability to swipe left and right between watch faces. To me that feels very like swiping between different pages on my iPhone home screen and I have my watch set up accordingly. I am really going to miss not being able to swipe between my main watch face, a health-oriented face where I can get at various medical stats, and a most frequently used utilities face where I can see messages, shazam, directions, etc.
@@julianfp1952 I agree with you, that was one of the first (somewhat) jarring things for me as I was watching, but I think we’ll get used to it quicker than we think. I think the idea of the widgets should do a good job of replacing that swipe feature.
@@BackAtItAKen Yes. If Apple doesn't relent at some point and make it an option then I will indeed need to stop moaning and adjust, and I agree that widgets might well take away some or even all of the pain. The only way to know for sure is to try, something that I won't do until it gets to the release version. There does look to be an awful lot of other great stuff in there and I will be really interested to see how much widgets do add to the experience. Presumably widgets will also need to take some of the load previously borne by the Dock since, now that Apple is repurposing the single press on the side button to bring up the control centre, I assume the Dock is another feature that is going away.
@@julianfp1952no it’s great everyone I now accidentally changed it all the time it was pretty annoying and overall holding it isn’t that much of a annoyance
Not switching between watch faces is insane. I use that way more often then realized
I hated that feature, I always switch them accidentally
@@shaneanagrams seems we need a toggle then to make us both happy 😃
@@shaneanagramswhen does that happen to you? I’ve literally never, not once, had that happen to me. I can’t imagine what activity would do it besides sleeping, which has the watch screen inoperable if you have the settings correct anyway.
@@anniemilakovic7683 Crossing my arms does it a lot.
@@anniemilakovic7683what if it actually did happened to you quite often but always ended up back to the correct watch face before you would view it?!?
You can have multiple timers on watchOS9 right now. Set a time, tap back, pick another time, tap back, both running, and you can way more than two.
yep, was thinking iOS 16 for a sec
True, I use more than one timer many times.
Love the new update but agreed, I miss swiping between watch faces. Hope they fix it because I don’t really even see what functionality took that motion’s place.
I hate it, it accidentally changes my watch face so often. If I really want to change it I’ll just tap and hold.
@@danidh then it should be a setting that you can turn on or off.
@@rainbowevil Couldn’t agree more
I have the Apple Watch 5 and I didn’t get this update 😢
@@brianda5793 it’s not out yet
The gesture to switch watch faces is so nice. I’ll miss it A LOT.
As a Samsung user, im impressed to see the efforts Apple did to release the new version on their wearables and made the older version look completely obsolete. I havent had the time to get familiar with their watch lineup over the years and this video is a really great refresh for me. Great review!
WatchOS 10 is the update we deserve. Fantastic video Brandon. 👍🏻
watchOS 9 having a black background means the UI blends into the device and it doesn't look like a screen. Pity we've lost that now
Just pointing out, you can have multiple timers on watchOS 9. It’s not the most intuitive, but you just simply start another timer in the app. Then you can see a list of timers running at the top of the Timer app.
Not being able to quickly switch watch faces AND the change to only let us get recents (instead of setting up favorites) both have made me change my mind about watchOS 10. The quick change of watch faces feels like such a fundamental feature of WatchOS that loosing that just feels awful. I could live with no favorites, but I LOVE and almost rely on quick changing watchfaces.
Probably won’t get WatchOS10 for a WHILE if ever without them adding that feature back (or giving us the option)
Same on both counts. I don’t want recents, I want my list of favorites period. And I switch between faces multiple times a day, for work, exercise, and regular times. I don’t see anything I’m excited, only changes removing features or functionality that i HEAVILY rely on.
Totally agree. Swipe to change watch faces just like switch pages in iPhone. There is only limited space in one watch face. Fast switch can bring almost unlimited space.
Nice review!
Before you could have several timers at once too, but it was not as easy or fast to switch between them.
Also, on the new timer when the time is over the screen turns orange. And when you start timer,.. you could see seconds moving for a few seconds before you only see minutes and hours only.
Something I wish they kept was how easy was to switch between watch faces too.
Something I wish they added was to choose to not return to clock if you have activity, the weather app and other apps open. For example, I like to have the activity app open where it shows my steps and distance without returning to clock. Or apple could simply add that to activity instead of being able to only see stand up, calories and exercise on complication.
Also, I’d to see something like Gentler Streak to have an idea about physical recovery if I should rest or workout.
A great presentation. Thanks for sharing. I agree best update ever. (Especially Snoopy, Yeah!)
Very helpful to compare the watches side by side! Thanks!
I think my biggest issue with WatchOS 10 is going to be how the screen is going to be on completely for most interactions now, rather than dark backgrounds. It’s going to use so much more battery.
would be interesting to test this scientifically when against watchos 9 when it comes out of beta
Hopefully you can turn off the gradient backgrounds
This was excactly my thought. It looks nicer, but there’s a reason for the black backgrounds.
This makes me think Apple is quite confident in the battery life of their current and future watches
True
I appreciate the comparison and the fact that you wore both watches to show the differences in the software. A great video as always! Blessings 🙏
I’m seriously thinking about upgrading my watch!
I'm so excited for this watchOS 10 update! It feels like our watches are all about to get a major facelift similar to what iOS 7 did for iPhones 🔥
Thanks Brandon for your excellent videos. I use to go to a bunch of videos once a new apple related release. Yours are so thorough i no longer feel like i have to go elsewhere.
Thank you for what you do Brandon. I know it’s a lot of work to make these videos and I don’t watch them all but I love being able to come back a month or two after the software is finally released to the general public to see all the changes that have been made. Thanks again an excellent work. Keep it up!
Thank you for having both watches to compare side by side! It’s like I knew it was different but it’s been so long since I had a watch that I forgot what they were, I’m even more excited now!
Brandon Wonderful Job just finished all the changes for the phone and actually saved it so I can get back to it if need be.Also have not wore the Watch as much as I liked but just put back on and absolutely enjoying all the changes. Thanks so much Wonderful Work.✌️💯
Thank you, thank you ! Everything so brilliantly and clearly explained.
Love the side by side comparison of iOS 9ths 10. Thank you. I was a little frustrated at first with a few of the changes but I am getting on board!
Wow! Thank you, Brandon for another informative video! Can’t wait for this update…loving all the changes! And as a Peanuts fan, loving the Snoopy watch face!😂🥰
Brandon, another great video thanks! With watch OS10 updates I finally start to see a reason for me to upgrade from my Watch Series 4 which I love to bits. Would you recommend to wait for September to see if Watch Ultra 2 comes out?
The difference is absolutely staggering 😍 cannot wait to have it available 🎉
SALUTE! to brandon for keep us updated with these new features overviews
Great video. Thanks for explaining everything.
Great video! Loved the pace and all the complete info shared! Also the comparison with two watches was a W😅
Fully agree! Can't wait for this to launch!
Would have loved it if they kept the control centre swipe gesture and then made the side button remappable instead
i am really amazed how many changes they introduced
I’m really liking iOS 17 and watchOS 10 there both a nice refresh to both the iPhone and Apple Watch UI and features wise like name drop and the contact poster
The new watchOS 10 does seem like a strong update. And I’m looking forward to trying it out. Thanks for sharing Brandon.
Amazing changes largely overshadowed by Apples other WWDC offerings. I bought my Apple Watch last year and was surprised how outdated the UI felt. Thanks for going in depth here!
Nice update overall. A little disappointed about not being able to quickly switch watch faces, I use that a lot. Also still waiting for the day when we can play music/podcasts directly from the watch.
I also swap faces often, might create a shortcut with names for each face to make it somewhat quicker to swap faces versus tap to hold. I have also heard of you swipe from edge to edge it will engage. Can you test that? Also, will widgets appear when Digital Crown is turned, even with water lock on?
Great idea of wearing the 2 watches!! Love ur channel… ru in sta? I live here.. just curious from ur weather app… I love all the new features on the iOS 10 features!
Wow! This new update definitely polishes WatchOS I’m excited for the fresh new look!
All Apple updates are so much as of now, thank you for uploading such clear and easy to understand videos.
Watching Brandon’s video on iOS and other updates have been a must for me since these past 2 years
Switching from watch face was amazing issue I wasn’t aware of cheers bro 👍🏻
Can’t wait for the final in September and still waiting for ios 17 in September too brandon haha
13:27 not to nitpick but you could definitely do multiple timers in the same number of button presses by pressing the back button.
Could never figure out how segments worked before in workouts so that’s a great feature add for me
I like the new changes in general. It looks more polished and modern. I’m looking forward to trying out the widgets. Those seem like they’ll be quite useful. I just hope they won’t be a huge battery drain. The loss of the recents/favorites dock and being unable to swipe to change faces are two changes I’m not a fan of. But I’m sure I’ll get used to it.
It’s actually still there! They changed the behavior of double clicking the crown so it now functions as an app switcher for recent apps
The battery drain on my 6 is quite bad, I can normally get 2 days of charge, now it’s about 1.25 after updating
@@ajbrady4357 Due to the transparent backgrounds?
Great. Thanks for such a thorough run-through.
This is amazing!!!! Best update ever.
Great overview. Does it say where Apple is sourcing the trail data from?
Good video not a lot of people take the time to do Apple Watch reviews! Thanks 🎉
Thanks for the info I was a little bit lost with iOS 10 watch
This does look like a great release but there are a couple of big things that I'll miss. Being able to swipe between watch faces is one and a lot of people here are mentioning that but the other big negative change for me is the loss of the honeycomb app launcher. I actually hated that and had my app launcher set to list mode for about my first 3 years of Watch ownership but about a year ago for some reason I tried honeycomb mode and discovered that once I'd spent a lot of effort setting it up it gave me far more of my most used app icons immediately on screen to press on and, again with thought and effort setting it up, I found the 2 dimensional scrolling really helpful.
I have my honeycomb set up so that all my most used stuff is on the initial display with the travel related stuff at the top (including alternate weather/wind/tide apps), the health-related stuff on the left, the system-related stuff (including things like password managers, 2FA etc) at the bottom and then other general purpose stuff on the right. That way if what I want isn't immediately visible I know that if it's a less used health app that I want then I go to the left, a travel app I go up, a system app I go down, and other apps I go right. For me this minimises the scrolling that I need to do to get to less-used apps even with lots of stuff installed on my watch. It's another case where I wish Apple had, rather than displacing the honeycomb layout in favour of this new icon layout, had instead offered three options for the launcher layout - list view, the new icon-based 1 dimensional scrolling, and the current 2 dimensional honeycomb arrangement.
Thanks for the video man, it was so informative.
Very informative and interesting video Brandon, thanks a lot! Which iPhone case is that one you have at 17:20?
Is great to have new features etc. much needed. Could not care about about using more battery. Some fantastic new features
I update my watch 8 to the beta today... it's been pretty awesome
great video thanks for uploading :)
Nice video. Got to say that two things I am not liking the sound of with WatchOS 10 are the way you switch between the watch faces, and also the Smart Stack. I think I'm going to inadvertently access Smart Stack quite a bit.
The card UI gives a glimpse of what’s below and is super helpful. I’m not a fan of this full screen UI for a watch
Agreed! And the black fade between "pages" in the heart rate app makes it appear a lot less seamless than the old cards
Really great breakdown and Review. Earned a Subscriber 🤠
Great video as always! Very informative and detailed.
watchOS 10 is pretty awesome. Good review. Love it on my AWU and S7
Widgets is a great idea... I'm always stuck on this one watch face with the most complications because it's hard to do anything other than the set complications for that face, unless you change faces which I do when I want to make a timer.
This is a good update for sure but I would still like a more refreshing look from the apps and Home Screen on apple products.
I can see why more changes would benefit the user experience. What exactly would make it more refreshing to you? I'm very curious now.
@@questerpher44 I just want new looks for apps or many some animations on how you unlock your phone, or receive notifications.
much appreciated and thanks for such a detailed preview
thanks a lot for these videos!!!
Have you tried the music app yet? I’m pretty sure you can sync on the fly now. No need for the watch to be on a charger. Pretty cool.
They gotta bring back swiping between watch faces. That's one of the best features.
It’s nice that they brought back the shortcuts to the top of the watch face when you had now playing; I assume it’s probably the same for maps or anything else that used to use that up element
Great video, thanks!
The new weather app looks sick but whenever I used it on my watch, I wanted it to be a quick easy glance of information without it being to hectic to look at which what watchos 9 did. Definitely will see how that pans out when watchos 10 gets released.
Exactly same for me. Too colorful, i prefer sobriety and lisibility. Apple still redesign unnecessarily, and not improve ergonomy. They are moving backwards...
Use the temp and weather conditions as complications. Problem solved
@@PhayzinOut I already do use that. But I'll go in the app for an hourly update or check other weather info if my complications does not show that.
WatchOS 9 is capable of having multiple timers, you just have to hit the back arrow to start an additional timer or see the ones that are currently running.
The press hold really unifies the os ui. I really like it. I did think I had lost all of my watch faces until I figured that out though. Hahaha great video. Thanks.
Quick question thanks for all the info, when talking about the trails in the map section on the watch will that also be on the iPhone where you can see the trails?
How do you access Dock now?
Also, please bring back horizontal swipe for changing watch face.
Great video, thanks much! How’d you get the cycling workout live activity metrics to work on your iPhone? I haven’t been able to get it to work. I got the popup about it on watch when I started a workout and tap the start/stop phone icon on the side menu of workout but nothing ever comes to my phone. I’ve seen others saying the same. I have iOS 17 beta 1 installed on the phone alongside watchOS 10 beta 1.
I am kind of anti iPhone but love the Apple Watch. Now because of health app on iPad, will it work as intended ?
Nice review! Thanks.
Must I upgrade to iOS 17 on my iPhone in order to install watchOS 10?
Holy shit looks epic, i am still using Heavy app for my workouts but I am happy apple is finally updating their fitness features, the current version lacks a lot of basic things other fitness apps bring to the apple watch.
Good visuals. But why did they erased the swipe for the control center and the swipes between faces? Such a loss. I don’t see the points in having multiple faces if you can’t go through them rapidly.
Thanks for the vid!
Hi Brandon, I have just installed beta watchOS 10. In workout app I see no power and cadence data readings. Is there some other settings I missed? Power2max power meter is obviously connected
Really refreshing update! Particularly like the new control center… I used the dock infrequently, so I’m glad I will probably actually use the side button now! (Nothing against others that did use the dock.)
Amazing 🤩 thank you ❤
Man you never disappoint!
🙏
I am LOVING watch os10 and iOS 17. Pretty cool updates.
Is focus mode still available? I use sleep focus to display a watch face with just time and alarm. Very useful at night as the large numbers of the time is easy to read without putting glasses on.
Rest of the changes look good.
Love this update!!! ⌚️
I like the switching of faces in edit mode, sometimes I would put the watch into water eject mode to freeze the display, I also like the automatic red mode.
Can anyone tell me if door dash Uber eats and grub hub all work with iOS 17? And thanks for the in depth review man I really appreciate seeing this stuff. So thank you!!! Been watching you for like over a decade I believe.
Not a big fan of some of the changes, but looks like a great improvement overall
I think a lot of the features are actually Apple just making watchOS more complicated. I'm usually big when it comes to tech but as someone who uses Apple Watch in a more simple manner, I don't like some of these changes - primarily the switching watch faces, the night mode for Ultra, and control center. I do like the overall updated consistency and fluidity along with modernization and ditching the what, 6-7 year old Card design.
speak my mind
Probably don’t update it
I wander if contour will work like it did with os 9 🤔
@BrandonButch - How is the WatchOS Beta on Battery life? Is it stable enough to use on the daily driver AWU?
when is this update available to the public?
Love the vids thank you ❤
