'10:09am'
Tick. Tock. Tap. Talk. Now you have new ways to mark time. The Taptic Engine inside your watch can silently tap out the hour on your wrist. You can set a chime to ring in the new hour. And when you hold two fingers on your watch face, it will tell you the time out loud.
Discover new apps while barely lifting a finger. Browse curated collections. Search using Scribble or Dictation, or even enlist the help of Siri. Tap on an app and scroll to read about it, browse screenshots, and check reviews.

The latest chapter in Apple Watch. With the new Audiobooks app, Apple Books titles in your Reading Now list are automatically synced to your watch. In the middle of a book you can’t put down? Just tap the cover and hit play to pick up where you left off, no matter what device you were using last.
Multiply your powers. Calculator, Voice Memos, and a redesigned Reminders. Now you can access your favorite Apple apps even more easily.
Add a little character to messages. Now you can add Animoji stickers to make messages sent from your watch even more memorable and expressive.
The latest trend in fitness. Yours. Your Activity rings are a great snapshot of your Move, Exercise, and Stand metrics throughout the day. But your watch captures so much more, from exercise minutes, to running pace, to cardio fitness. The new Trends feature shows whether any metric is headed up or down over time, so you can keep it going or turn it around.
Keep pace over the long run. Daily metrics from your watch are stored in the Activity app on your iPhone. Trends compares your latest 90-day averages to longer-term performance over the past 365 days. If you’re losing ground, you’ll receive tailored coaching suggestions to get you back on track.
Knowledge is healthy. Gaining insight into your menstrual cycle can help provide a clearer picture of your overall health. In addition to simply ensuring that you’re prepared, you’ll have more information to help you track irregularities and symptoms and enrich discussions with your doctor.
Tracking is as simple as tapping. Use the Cycle Tracking app to log daily information about your menstrual cycle. You can add flow information, record symptoms such as headaches or cramps, and easily see cycle length and variation. It all comes together in a simple, graphical chart in the redesigned Health app on your iPhone.
Where are you in your cycle? Using information you’ve logged, the Cycle Tracking app on Apple Watch can alert you when it predicts that your next period or fertile window is about to start.* You can even track results from an ovulation prediction kit and readings from a basal body thermometer.

When it goes to 11, take five. Noise can rise to levels that may damage your hearing without your even realizing it. The new Noise app senses when the roar of the crowd or the rumble of machinery reaches a level that may pose a risk. So you can step out or plug up to give your ears a needed break.
If it’s too loud, you can feel it. Your watch monitors your environment’s ambient noise and tracks the duration of your exposure. When Apple Watch detects that the decibel level has risen to a point where hearing could be affected, it can notify you with a tap on the wrist.
Your data is yours.
Apple Watch unlocks many powerful personal experiences while keeping your private information under lock and key. And when you back it up on iCloud, your data will remain encrypted and protected.
A more personal Health app. For a more informed you.
It's easier than ever to access the information that matters to you. Now you can see automatically generated highlights of how your health data is trending over time.
