watchOS 10: The MacStories Review - MacStories

When you upgrade to watchOS 10 your watch walks you through a number of changes to primary interface elements. This is needed due to fundamental changes to the experience.

In watchOS 10, for the first time in years, the iterative update pattern is broken. Rather than the usual handful of minor app updates, new watch faces, and health and fitness features, Apple has instead dropped another major rethink of Apple Watch interaction methods. The side button has been reassigned, the Dock has been demoted, apps have a new design language throughout the system, and widgets have made their Watch debut.

I find this fun and interesting, and it also highlights that Apple is still learning primary things on the watch. How people want to use it and how to best meet those needs. This detailed writeup goes through all of new things.
