The 3rd Apple Watch OS generation has recently received its 2nd major update since the initial release, in the fall of 2016. watchOS 3 brought a major overhaul to the most popular smartwatch available on the market. Along the fact that apps launch more faster and the general experience is more fluent, new features like the Dock panel and Scribble, additional Watch Faces, the native Breathe app or the Emergency SOS have significantly improved the way we interact with the Apple Watch.

watchOS 3.1 was the next major iteration, but came with under the hood changes, like bug fixes and stability improvements. The only noticeable addition was the option to replay the bubble and full-screen iMessage effects. watchOS 3.2 is a bit more rich in new features: Siri gets additional functionality. Now, you can voice command Apple’s virtual assistant to make payments, send messages, start workouts, book rides and other features provided by third party App Store apps. This and the Theatre Mode, which allows users to simultaneously silence and darken the Apple Watch screen while viewing a movie, are the main attractions.
