During its WWDC event, Apple showed off several new faces, including Modular Compact, Solar Dial, California, Gradient and Numerals faces.
The new watch faces introduce a new feature called Taptic Chimes that deliver a silent vibration on your wrist, and an hourly chime when audio is turned on.
The new apps include wrist-based versions of Audiobooks, Voice Memos, and Calculator, while the new <!---->App Store<!----> will allow users to purchase and download apps directly to their watch, bypassing iPhone.
Users can install third-party apps using the dedicated <!---->Apple Watch<!----> app store, search for apps using
Siri, dictation or Scribble, and view app product pages designed for the watch screen right from the wrist. Developers can also build <!---->Apple Watch<!---->-only apps, created to work independently on <!---->Apple Watch<!----> without an iOS app.
<!---->Siri<!----> search queries will also display webpage results in full on <!---->Apple Watch<!---->.
In addition, watchOS 6 brings several
new health and fitness features for <!---->Apple Watch<!---->, including a menstrual cycle tracking app, a Noise app, and a new Trends tab for the Activity tracking app.
