Apple has today seeded the eighth developer beta of watchOS 10 for testing, allowing users to trial the next major software update for Apple Watch ahead of its planned public release in the fall.
watchOS 10 marks the biggest Apple Watch update in years, bringing users a fresh approach to view information with redesigned apps, a new Smart Stack to show relevant widgets, new watch faces, and more.
Previous watchOS iterations, such as watchOS 9 last year, saw Apple announce fairly lacklustre improvements for the Apple Watch, with Apple completely switching things around with watchOS 10, bringing a full set of redesigned apps to provide more information at a glance, and new ways to navigate and quickly access content.
