The developer version has been available for a few days now. betaoperating system version for AppleWatch watchOS 6. It brings a number of innovations, such as its own App Store, ambient noise measurement or new features within the Health platform. How it works watchOS 6 “firsthand”?

Calculator

The calculator's new features have caused admiration in some, amusement in others. Calculating a tip of a certain amount or dividing a bill among a specific number of friends may at first glance seem like something that can be done with the help of classical arithmetic. But the truth is that calculating both of these things on a calculator is watchOS 6 more convenient and faster. Entering is very easy, you increase or decrease the percentage or number of friends using the digital crown of the watch.

 

App Store

It is understandable that the small dimensions of the display Apple Watch will not provide the user with the same experience of App Store, like the display of a Mac or iPhone or iPad. But it must be said that you Apple managed to App Storem for watchOS relatively well. The display is minimalistic and largely truncated, but the application search works well. I consider the possibility of both voice and written input (with a finger on the display) to be a big plus. It can be assumed that in future versions Apple na App A hundred for watchOS he will work a little more. App Store brings into watchOS 6 one crucial thing – independence from the iPhone. Although you can still download apps to your watch from App Store on your iPhone, there is aoneIn the Czech Republic, where they are not available, Apple Watch with mobile phoneoneactivity, however, it is still only partial independence.

New native apps

Apple Watch se with the arrival watchOS 6 will also see a handful of new native apps. Among them is the purely feminine Cycles for tracking your menstrual cycle, as well as Dictaphone or an app for monitoring ambient noise. I have briefly tried the aforementioned apps and it seems that even in the first developer release betaversion serves its purpose. The only exception is Diktafonk, which reported temporary unavailability of synchronization via iCloudBut everything else works reliably.

dials

Pro Personally, for me, watch faces are more of a side issue. However, it should be noted that the ones he came up with Apple ve watchOS 6, were really successful in most cases. My favorites are the sundial and minimalistic Gradient, large, two-tone numbers don't look bad either. However, I still use it as my main watch face.onechala Modular infographic that Apple presented together with Apple Watch Series 4. However, I'm afraid that most of these dials will not fit older watch models due to their size, which is a real shame.

Finally

U betaversions – especially development versions – of any software, it is very difficult to evaluate potential errors. It is logical that development versions betaversions reach users in an unfinished state and are not primarily intended for ordinary consumers. I myself have significant errors in functionality as such in watchOS 6 did not reveal. ProThe only problem was perhaps the initial "start-up" of the entire system - although the software installation itself went without any problems, pairing the watch with iPhonem after the restart initially seemed almost impossible. For me personally, itonec pairing and operation "by itself" occurred, tips appear in discussions on the Internet recommending logging out of both devices from iCloudor change the language and region of the watch. That's why I would update you to the 1st beta watchOS 6, as you could end up completely discarding the watch. And when I say discard, I mean it literally. Unlike iOS or macOS itself will revert to an older version watchOS you will not be able to return it, but you must seek help from experts with the relevant hardware.

The owner Apple Watch I've only been here relatively recently, which may have affected my enthusiasm for watchOS 6 certainly has an impact. My overall impressions are certainly mostly positive and I look forward to the "smarter" version of the system. Have you tried it?  watchOS 6 firsthand? What impressed you and what disappointed you?
