Apple WatchOS 3: How much does it cost, what does it offer?

Apple have come out with the latest generation of Apple Watch Series 2. However, the new watches are also being introduced in a new variant ceramic which costs about 1449$. It also carries the new WatchOS 3.

Apple have now introduced a new wearable 'Watch' alongside their new iPhones 7 and 7 plus. It apparently costs the same as their predecessors alongside an additional, new small partnership with Nike.

Now, Apple released a major upgrade for the original Apple Watch today. WatchOS 3 is designed to overhaul the Watch entirely, from the way apps load to how you launch them and use the watch interface.

Instead of launching a list of contacts, the Watch's side button now opens a new dock feature. It's designed to show recently used apps and favorite ones that you want quick access to.

This is a major overhaul over the predecessors which changes the way you interact with your smartwatch. It also reminds the owner of the smartwatch frequently to go in to deep breathing exercises.

Workouts are now a part of the OS and is also extended to developers to work on. Alongside some new watch faces, there's the new Minnie mouse which is the Mickey with a colour changing dress.

There is the workout section which is mostly beneficial to people who work out on a daily basis allowing them to keep track of their fat loss and fitness along with step counter, calorimeter, among others.

You can now use the Watch to actually unlock all your other apple hardware. You can now write your own responses while texting thanks to Scribble. This works alongside most applications like Mail, Messages or Facebook Messenger. There is also a tutorial which'll help you out. With the Tapback, you can reply to acknowledge a message instead of scribbling or dictating a new message. This can be done by long-pressing the chat bubble.

Now there's the application dock. Think of the dock as a shortcut to your favorite apps.

Apple Watch will fill in the dock with recently used apps. The next time you open the dock and view apps, you are asked if you want to keep an app in the dock or ditch it. You can keep up to 10 apps in the dock. You can now also change the face of your watch on the iPhone itself instead of lurking inside to adjust the face.
