Watch OS 2 brings the Apple Watch up to the stringent demands of users by giving the Apple Watch features that make it more independent from the iPhone and improve its capabilities.

The Apple Watch is about to receive its first major update since the produce launch in April of this year. Apple just announced the Apple Watch about six months ago and Watch OS 2 is going to completely change the user experience of the Apple Watch, as Apple demonstrated at WWDC 2015 on Monday.

New Features in Watch OS 2:

Watch OS 2 is currently in its first developer beta, but it will be available to the general public starting this Fall. Watch OS 2 works on all available Apple Watch models. Compatible wearables include:.
