Apple Watch watchOS 10: Add Widget and Focus on Widgets Redesigned Interface

From Mark Gurman Power On news, Apple is set to add widgets to the Apple Watch with watchOS 10, which promises to bring a game-changing feature to the Apple Watch? As we dive into the details, we’ll explore how these widgets might reshape our experience with Apple watch.

WatchOS 10 is the focus on widgets are set to become a core part of the user interface. The goal? To help users review information faster without having to open the app.

Scrolling Through Widgets

Imagine being able to scroll through a series of widgets, including real-time events, weather, stock quotes, calendar appointments, and more — all without launching the app. That’s precisely what Apple has in store with watchOS 10. The new interface will act as an overlay on any watch face, streamlining the experience and making it easier than ever to stay updated on essential information.

Interactive Widgets?

While it’s still unclear whether these widgets will be interactive, it would certainly make sense for a smartwatch to have such a feature. If Apple does decide to make interactive widgets available on the Apple Watch, we could very well see the same happening for iOS devices in the future.

If you’re an Apple Watch first gen users, you might remember the original “Glances” feature. These quick access notifications allowed users to swipe up from the bottom of the screen for updates from various apps. Although Apple eventually dropped this feature, watchOS 10’s widgets seem to be a modern reincarnation of Glances — and we’re excited to see how they perform.

A New Role for the Digital Crown

With the introduction of widgets, Apple is considering changing the function of the Apple Watch’s Digital Crown. In the current version of watchOS, pressing the digital crown takes you to the watch face or home screen. However, in watchOS 10, it may open the new widget interface. This shift would undoubtedly be a significant change, but it could also make the Digital Crown more integral to the user experience.

A Fresh Start for the Apple Watch

With the arrival of watchOS 10, Apple is poised to breathe new life into the Apple Watch by rethinking how the device works. Widgets are set to become a cornerstone of the user interface, giving users quicker access to valuable information and potentially changing the way we interact with our smartwatches.

If Apple can successfully integrate widgets into the overall user experience, the Apple Watch could become an even more indispensable accessory for those who already love it — and a compelling option for those who have yet to give it a try.
