## What Jamie wrote

watchOS 26 seems to me like it has the least changes, perhaps in part because Liquid Glass while on the watch doesn't really change much. watchOS itself has a very light interface to start with. 

- I’m trying out the Exactograph watch face just because it is pretty fun.
- Happy to see the Notes app finally get to watchOS, although very limited.
- Messages is now much more feature complete.

Fine incremental changes but nothing that exciting.
