so you got a OS 9 now you can download watch OS 2 it shows up here in the Apple watch app and you can hit update what do you get with that well we're just getting used to it right now but here are the things that stand out right away watch faces we've been waiting for more watch faces now there's one that taps in your photo gallery there's also one that lets you put a particular photo on Oh cute and you can also do a time lapse so you can look at various cities with super fast time-lapse animations in the background that's about it complications now those little bits of information that are inside the watch faces those are complications weather and lunar cycle and battery life you can now add those from third-party apps there aren't that many of it seems like those can make things a lot of fun depends on the apps time travel know this watch does not literally travel back into the distant past but it actually allows you to spin the digital crown and find out what happened before what's going to happen coming up on your calendar look at the weather forecast anything that's on your watch face including things like maybe upcoming flights or stock prices if you go back not stock prices if you go forward it's not that cool there's also baked in transit directions in the Maps app on the Apple watch it's supposed to give you local transit information we have got a lot of like setting that up yet but it does clearly show some of the subway lines so stay tuned for more on that a nightstand mode you can now plug it in and when it's charging it will turn into a little sideways alarm clock on the side of your bed you can't set the alarm it seems from the watch but when the alarm goes off the top buttons act as snooze and off buttons you can keep tapping and napping finally there are a lot of apps that are now able to run offline meaning when your phone's not connected they're called native apps this is stuff that runs on the new watch OS 2 apps are gonna have to be updated to take advantage of this right now there aren't that many we did find a calculator app though that's watch OS 2 in a nutshell there are a lot of other tweaks and updates still pretty much the Apple watch but a lot of features that we've been waiting for I'm Scott Stein and seeing out with the latest on Apple watch
