OS 6, including this one that was revealed on stage at the Apple iPhone 11 and Apple Watch Series 5 event this is meridian and meridian has two different dials, you can switch between a white dial and a black dial and it also has four complications, they are in a diamond shaped pattern right in the middle of the interface and of course you can change the colors of those complications you can change between multicolor and individual colors if you choose to do so now of course you can go in and alter the complications shown.

More Interesting Facts About,

watchos 6 top features changes for apple watch...

In fact, I like to disable some of the complications on the Meridian watch face. I think it looks good. I think the watch face can stand on its own without all the complications, so I'm just disabling these two, don't tell anyone, eh, but that's how I'll have it there, so I think I like that look. It looks good, what do you think? Let me know now. Apple's new California Watch face is the first of its kind on an Apple Watch. It combines Roman and Arabic numerals, making this a unique look for the Apple Watch. It is a full screen watch face. you can see there, so it takes up the entire screen, you can change the numbers displayed, you can change between shells, Roman California, Arabic, Arabic, Indyk or David auguri, yes I had to look up how to pronounce it, but any number you choose .

I think it looks good, especially with that blue dial. I really like that blue dial, but of course you can also change that dial, so let's swipe over here and you can toggle between full screen and circular, so circular will give you more complications. whereas with the full screen watch face you're limited to just a couple of complications, so let's scroll through these colors. You'll see several color options here, but I definitely think I prefer the solid dials, especially the blue, I think the blue looks better, so with the circular dial you have access to five complications, four in the corners, one in the middle, let's go back to full screen and of course that limits you a little bit as to how many complications you can show on the screen at once.

The new compact modular watch face is a different take on the traditional modular watch face and I think this one is going to be very popular. It comes with an analog or digital dial, so you can choose between those two, you can choose between a light or dark multi-color. interface or just go for a single color interface with the dark dial see that right there but I think I like the dark dial with the multi color and then of course you have access to those three complications with the big complication on the back bottom of the interface in traditional.
Modular style will no doubt be extremely popular among Watch OS 6 users. The Sun Dummy is an extremely impressive watch face that tracks the position of the Sun and its elevation in the DAO blue also represents the effect of the Sun on the color of the sky . where you currently reside, so turning the crown traces the arc of the sun throughout the day during that 24-hour period. Now obviously with a watch face like this you won't have any color customization options, but I think the blue is beautiful. I think it really pops off the screen of the Apple Watch and because it's a circular dial, you have access to a lot of complications on the screen at once, so let's go ahead and customize it, so the first customization is to choose between the dial. write so that you have an analog or digital dial that you can choose from, so let's swipe and the final customization is with the complications on the edges.
I wouldn't use Solar Dao full time, but it's definitely a watch face I plan to use. Regularly the upcoming OS 6 watch face is gradient and there are actually three different gradients you can choose from, they all move in different ways, of course you can choose and alter the colors here so you have all kinds of colors available. but the really cool thing is that it features a circular, full screen gradient and each type of style has three different ingredients to choose from, so you can choose between this one, that one or that one. I was too fast, so let's try it.
Once again, let's start again, so you have this one here, this one here and then this one here and they all move differently according to time, so I'll show you that in a second, but you can see that you can switch between circular and full screen if you choose full screen you can't choose any complications so keep that in mind it's kind of a disadvantage of full screen gradient but it's okay it looks so good. I don't think you don't want complications, so you'll see. In the first one you could see the seconds hand moving with the gradient.
Let's go ahead and choose the next one here. The next gradient corresponds to the position of the minute hand, so you won't actually see it move. No, no, you don't know. quickly, obviously, unless we stay here for the next hour, you know, the next hour you'll see him move around a lot, but we're not going to do that. I won't do that to you guys, I promise, but you can see it lines up with the minute hand okay, so the last one includes gradients for all three movements, so you see the seconds hand that's moving, you see the minute hand and you see the time, so the next watch face is a duo of numbers and this face shows big numbers in Arabic, Indyk Arabic or Devanagari font has been designed.
I said it again specifically for the Apple Watch. It looks good, but there are some customization options. You can choose different styles so you can choose a cell fill. A hybrid style or a contour style depends on what. you like it okay so that's it, of course you can also alter the colors. I think one looks good now I want to go back, let's go back, no, no, no, bad, run away, let's go this way, let's go, one more, we'll pass it. There we go, that looks excellent. I think one looks amazing and then there's also the mono numbers which is a similar face but there are some subtle differences between this on the duo of numbers obviously mono which means just showing our own screen instead of the time . and minutes, but there are also additional numbers, of course, there are Arabic, Arabic, Indic, Devanagari and Roman numerals, which are different, so if you are a fan of Roman numerals, you will definitely want to choose mono numbers.
Now, like duo numbers, you have different styles for you to choose from. field or outline, but it lacks the hybrid style of the number duo and you can also change its color hmm, I think I like that purple, what do you guys think? So let's exit the customization interface and see what it really looks like. Here we go. 11 o'clock after my bedtime, okay, let's talk about complications, there are a lot of new complications, we're only going to talk about two initially because these two are not necessarily tied to an app or a new app, so it's the first one . is a cellular complication that shows you the strength of your cellular signal and when you tap it takes you directly to the cellular switch in your Settings app.
Now next up, I guess technically it's linked to an existing app, the weather app, but now you have rain. complication and this will tell you the current chance of rain at a glance in your particular area, so if you tap on that it will take you to a broader view so you can see your chances of rain throughout the day, we'll look at some additional options . Complications and see a West 6 a little later, but now let's talk about my favorite new feature in the improved Watch OS 6 series so you can ask Siri almost any question, it will go to the web and look up the answer and this.
It's a good way to not only get search results, but also browse the web, so if you tap open page on one of your results, it will take you to that result's website and you can read it as you would with any other. another website that's obviously on your wrist, it's going to be a bit clunky, so you're not expecting a rich, full desktop-class experience, but it's still really impressive to be able to read an article on your wrist just like that. It even has Twitter embeds and you can tap on links, it's actually pretty cool by the way.
Electric is an awesome website if you like green energy, electric cars, electric bikes, electric skateboards, be sure to check out those guys who really do it. It was an amazing job there, so I really enjoy using Enhance Siri to just ask her about whatever I'm thinking about at the moment, like which game console I should buy right now. Well, you can find out by simply doing a search, but that's not the case. stop there, of course, you can ask Siri, hey, what song is playing right now. I like that song, go ahead and tell me and that's it, there's the song and with just one tap you can add that song to your library, huh, come to think of it.
The App Store may be my favorite new feature because it's an important feature. Finally, on the Apple Watch you have a separate app store that is not tied to your iPhone. In fact, you can go to the App Store and explore the app store you have. The editorial content here is not really editorial content, but you know, tips and things of that nature, you have it here and then you can download apps by just tapping like this, I mean, there you go, you can also take advantage of the search option in the at the top of the App Store, so tap you can search with dictation or by scribbling, there's also trending searches, so I'll use dictation because it's a little bit easier.
I'll just say, search for Tesla and all the apps will appear. related to Tesla and then I can download the one I want to download remotely for Tesla, just tap the download button and it starts the download directly to the Apple watch. I can even do it via cell phone if I wanted to, but friends, they don't even do that. You have to be in the App Store, you can search through Siri from anywhere, just say "hey", search for this app and it will search right there for Nano for reddit, so you can download it with one tap, that's really powerful, so the new reminders app is obviously iOS. 13 has a new Reminders app that's absolutely fantastic, so of course the Apple Watch had to tweak a few things to keep up with its iOS counterparts.
Here you don't get the full reminders app experience, but you get a miniaturized experience so you can obviously, enter full reminders, you can add reminders to your various lists and that's it for the most part, but you get all your smart lists, you have those smart lists, the schedule you bookmarked, all of that right at the top and then you have your individual list below that and that's really all you need on your wrist, what do you guys think about the reminders app? Let me know below in the comments section. Are you planning on using this as your full time reminder app or do you still use third party apps like things or something let me know so I'm going to add a reminder to my list using dictation so I'll say check out Apple Arcade and then I'll tap Done and it'll add it to my list, so you have to do it. find my app in iOS 13 and you'll have the kind of companion app here on the iOS 6 watch that you can use to find my app and keep up with your friends, it's actually not much: this app, but that's to be expected, for Sure, you can share your location, but that's it, so here's something we've been thinking, why are we now getting a calculator app on our Apple Watch?
It should have been there from day one, right? But now we have it, so I guess we should be grateful, so you could use this, obviously, it's a basic calculator, not very deep, it's not a scientific calculator or anything, but you can tap the hint button and calculate suggestions for several people, so I'm going to be generous here, let's go to 25 percent and I'm not going topay this whole bill, you don't have to pay, so let's get it out to the people, here we go so you can see how much each individual pays with that added tip. that's pretty useful, but if you don't want to use tips, you can also switch to percentage by pressing like this and switch to percentage just like that, super easy, okay, so now let's talk about the calculator complication.
The app is very simple it's just a shortcut to this calculator so just tap on it like this and you will go directly to your calculator app and there is also for the first time a voice memo app another question like why did we just receive this? but I'm happy, I'm happy to have it now, so you can use it for one-touch recording, which is great, so I'm recording right there and I'm just going to say something, so I want to stop recording. I'll let you listen to this, I'll let you listen to this recording okay, we're going backwards, you can't say I didn't try hard, so if you want to delete that voice note, just tap the ellipsis, you can tap delete, but here's something really interesting about the voice memos app you are not limited to just the recordings you make on your local device but if you force press you can switch from viewing recordings to all recordings and that will pull your recordings from iCloud which will be synced on your devices so you can hear them all like Well, there's a new noise app in Watch OS Six that will help you maintain good hearing health so Apple Watch can check some levels around you and alert you when they may affect your hearing.
This is done using the microphone, it won't save any of this. data, it won't put it in the cloud or anything, just enable it and right there it will measure the noise levels on the fly, so we're fine now if it's green, that's fine, but what we're really worried about is a very loud, so if it gets loud, you know, 80 decibels, 90 decibels, 100 decibels is louder, that's when you need to be aware, so this can help you do it, so I'm going to make a very loud sound, I'm just going to shout. That's where we go at 94 decibels, it's the feeling that it's loud, it alerts you what really worries you, although it's the sustained volume, so that's what can really damage your hearing if you're just in the environment, maybe not even You're not even aware of it. you're running around like a leaf blower or a herbivore you're not wearing hearing protection this can help you and there's also an accompanying complication that gives you real-time noise data, something you really like if you're working in a noisy environment or if you're working with power tools this can really help you understand how that might be affecting your hearing and also the new feature for the clock is 6:00.
Another new app is the audiobook app and it features a very familiar similar interior. to that of the podcast interface or the music interface so you can play all your favorite audiobooks from the iBook store no, it is not iBooks see more from the Apple bookstore library you can jump directly between chapters and there is even a complication so that You can see your progress in each chapter if you tap that will take you directly to your book. Now there's also a cycle tracking app to track your reproductive health minstrel cycles, so if you scroll down here you'll get all that data information.
There is also a complication. with it too and that complication is just a link, just tap on that to go straight to the cycle tracking app just like that and look what six, you'll find a new standalone app Now Playing, it's got a complication there as you can see, just tap that and here is my nail plan. You can see it's playing from my iPhone here, but what's really cool is that you can see all your devices like in the control center on your iPhone. It allows you to see all your devices including your home pods so you can tap a home pod and control the music directly on my home pod from the app that is playing and the best thing is that you can quickly switch between your devices as well that once I'm done controlling my home pod I can go back and say hey I'll go back to my iPhone if I want to do that so my iPhone is still playing my book so I can resume it like that all right there are some notable music apps . improvements to talk about, so now when you go into your library and see an album, you can tap on that album and see all the songs, it won't automatically start playing that album or ask you to connect to the Air Pods, but you'll be able to see him. the songs first before it actually tells you that's really cool so you can also see that cute album art at the top so I can tap on a song to start playing it like that individually you can also do the same thing with the charts playlist, so now I can go into an individual playlist, it will show me the album art for that playlist and I can play an individual song within that playlist.
You will also find some improvements to the maps app so that you have favorites and then you also find collections and these collections have been set up on my iOS 13 device and they include groups of different locations that I want to share with others and you will be happy to know that stickers can also be found emoji on watch OS 6, so I can go into the emoji keyboard, scroll down to find my favorite emoji character and then load all the stickers that way and just tap on one of my favorite stickers to send it to a recipient.
That giraffe is very funny, you can use it too. your Nemo G and your reasons too and share that you will find a new dedicated privacy section in the Settings app, so if we go there, scroll down to privacy and then you can manage permissions for all kinds of things, like location services, contacts , calendars, reminders. Bluetooth microphone, home health kit, movement and fitness, and you will also find analysis. Now there's a feature that I think might go unnoticed, but it's really cool to have this on the Watch OS 6. If you go to Bluetooth in settings, you can toggle Bluetooth.
Turning off directly from your Apple Watch previously couldn't do that, so this allows you, for example, if you want to run solely on your cellular connection and don't want to connect to your paired iPhone, simply turn off Bluetooth and then I see a disconnection from your parrot . I call by phone. I'm going to go ahead and turn off Wi-Fi as well and what that's going to do is force me to use my cell phone. She got disconnected so she will force me to have a cellular connection. Now there you are. Wow, now I'm on cellular, I don't connect it to my iPhone paired or Wi-Fi and I look at OS 6 if you touch the screen with your finger like this, that happens, yes, now it's better for you if you go to settings and you go.
For timing, you'll be able to customize how it works so you see the talk time feature, you can turn it on or off, you can also control it with silent mode and what that will do is basically give you haptic feedback. so touch time and chimes, now I have to set the touch time, just touch where it says date/time, so when you are in silent mode, instead of saying the time out loud, we will touch you using one of the methods here that you can set and tell you the time in a very subtle way without having to look at your watch.
Basically, it's almost like there's Morse code right there, it's actually communicating with you inaudibly, so it's really cool if you want. To be subtle, you don't want to look at the time and be rude to someone. Use touch time. Instead, now look OS Six also features a new hourly chimes option that you can enable through the clock settings, so if we just flip the switch on and then tap. As for sounds, we can choose between bells and birds and let you hear how it sounds so that these sounds play only now. Also new for the Apple Watch in Watch OS 6 is the ability to facilitate software updates directly from the Apple Watch itself.
Now it makes sense. Additionally, we have a separate app store. You'll also notice a new feature in the General Settings section. If you go down to the activation screen, you'll see options to resume the app from the last session, so you'll see options for audiobooks. Maps. Music. Nell Plane. and basically what these allow you to do is automatically resume these apps that are enabled every time that session is active, so let me show you how this works here, for example, if I'm listening to the music app, that's an active session every time I wake up. On my watch, it will show the music app instead of the watch face, so let me show you.
I'm going to make sure I'm connected to my power beats Pro to have that active session working well, so I'm connected and then I'm going to put my watch to sleep and then I'm going to wake it up and guess what's going to happen. I'm going to go right back to that music app because it's an active app and I had it enabled, but look what happens now that the music app is gone. During an active session I unplugged my power beats Pro, wake it up, it goes back to the watch face and I thought it was a cool feature so I wanted to include it.
You can now enable screenshots directly from the Apple Watch instead of having to rely on the companion app on your iPhone, so simply go to Settings General Screenshots and enable screenshots and you'll be able to take as many screenshots as you want. I said a lot of screenshots, right? And finally we'll move on to On the iPhone you'll now see a new activity trends tab at the bottom of the activity app. Now, of course, the daily metrics you accumulate from your Apple Watch are important, but activity trends allow you to step back and see the bigger picture so you can see how you're really doing over a longer period of time, for example. which will show these motion arrows that will allow you to better see how you're actually doing so you can see the movie arrows, some of them going up some of them If they're going down, you'll want to pay more attention, maybe address some concerns that will allow you to Do this so you can see trends from the last calendar year and then you can also see your daily averages.
It is very good to have this data. within your reach but it doesn't stop with distance you also have your exercise mine is simply saying that I don't wear my watch all the time let me tell you that so as not to sound pathetic here, but for someone who wears their Apple watch all the time, this will give you some interesting facts, so ladies and gentlemen, you have taken a look at the top features of OS 6 for Apple Watch, what is your favorite feature, make sure to LIKE and subscribe.
