Apple yesterday by the side iOS 9 beta 5 he also released a new one beta system version watchOS 2 and initially we thought that the system would again only bring changes under the hood. But yesterday everything changed, as it was newly released beta version brings with it several visible novelties that all testers of the upcoming pre system could already notice Apple Watch. There are not as many changes here as before beta versions iOS 9 or OS X El Capitan, but they are still here and prove that what we saw on WWDC, may end up looking a little different.
Released yesterday beta watchOS 2 brings three major changes that relate to the old-new Timelapse watch face that we could see for the first time already last fall/autumn. The watch face now also offers a full-day view of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, giving users 6 Timelapse watch faces until more are added. In addition, when setting such a watch face, the accelerated video will no longer be played, instead it will slow down and stop at the current time. When setting the Modular dial for a change, the watch will alert you to the presence of Multi-Color mode.

Another new feature is the Quick Play function in the Music application. The function is more of a response to the newly added Shuffle button v Apple Music v iOS 9 beta 5. It will make it possible to immediately start playing music from a connected iPhone without people having to rummage through the entire music library. The section was also modified Now Playing, where we will now find a circular volume indicator and on its sides you will find the Like and Remove song buttons.

For the Workout app Apple solved two fundamental shortcomings and now, when you exercise, you will see a runner icon on the top of the watch. And when you finish the workout and save the data, the watch will show you a confirmation that it really happened.
Finally, people now have the option of ponekeep the display on for up to 70 seconds, not just the standard 15. Overall, the system is smoother and responds faster than previous versions. Also, some issues with the haptic feedback system have been fixed.

I would also like to add that there is a new option for a watch face to display a stream of photos from iPhone.
