The Apple Watch is the most recognizable smartwatch on the planet, as it remains the best watch to recommend to people using an iPhone. A lot of what makes the Apple Watch great is the software, and Apple is ensuring that the software gets better with several new announcements at WWDC 2023. With the new watchOS 10, Apple is refocusing on widgets to ensure you get access to more information and interact quicker on the tiny watch screen.

watchOS 10 significantly changes the smartwatch OS as widgets script their comeback. Previous versions of watchOS had a feature called Glances, giving users access to information without needing to open an app. The widget pane would lay out quick information, and if you need more or need to react, you could tap on the widget and be taken to the main app. This is similar to how widgets work on iOS right now, and now Apple is bringing the same back with watchOS 10.
