The watchOS is now seven times faster than watchOS 2, so that the apps load instantly and are easier to access. A range of new watch faces has been introduced. Also, you can share your daily activities with your friends. A breathe app was revealed, that would help you to take a break for yourself daily.

Here’s what new in watchOS 3:

Access apps faster now

Now, your apps will be available immediately when you need them. Easily reach your app by clicking the side button for an all-new dock.

Swiping from the bottom of the watch face launches the Control Center for the setting most used by you previously. So, performance and navigation both have been enhanced.

New Watch Faces and it's easy to switch them

Customize newly introduced watch faces with an even better selection of useful apps and also now you have more options to choose from with the newly introduced faces. Switch faces easily, so you have what you want according to your daily activities.

Apple has also come up with a Minnie Mouse watchface in order to complement the fan-favorite Mickey Mouse design which accompanied the original Apple Watch.

Activity sharing

A new feature, Activity Sharing, has been introduced so that you can share your Activity rings with friends for motivation and you can also show your competitive spirit. You have to close the entire three, and the one who does that first, wins. It can also be used by your trainer to look at your daily progress. Isn’t it great? You can even send your own racing heartbeat with Digital Touch.
