Apple is clear that the Apple watch in its current state is not what the company intended it to be and part of the road to solving this is launching watch os/2 later this year I'm high memory that I will pocket now and let's take a quick look at watch os/2 beta 1 watch os/2 may be visually identical to the existing version that everyone is using but Apple has baked in a ton of really neat tricks that help it become less of a slave of your iPhone and more of a true competitor to other wearables in the market some of these features like native applications won't be able to be shown on this video because we sadly have to wait for developers to deal with that first but we'll be looking at these in future videos and betas to come as a timepiece the Apple watch received a few new updates there's a new photos watch phase that is populated by the photo albums you have stored on your watch and the swap every time you lift your wrist which can be very nostalgic every now and then there's also a really cool time-lapse watch phase of hot cities around the world but don't think the list is big users and developers are also given the ability to create new complications in order to adapt the watch to your personal needs but the my personal needs require an analog clock and I don't see that feature available here though a neat feature is time travel where you can rotate the digital crown on your watch phase and see upcoming appointments and yes you even get options for a nightstand though keep in mind you actually have to set the watch on its side for this to work when it comes to communications you can now add different sets of friends because you most probably want to segregate work friends personal etc and you can interact with these friends with different doodle colors now even though that's probably one gimmick I would rarely ever use if you're using Apple's email application you can now respond to emails from the application as well though again limited to the very dated iOS application FaceTime audio is now also supported for phone calls as well something that should have worked from day one and well it's great that it's now available health and fitness also received the major update as third-party native applications will now be able to contribute to your fitness activity and even use health kit resources as well you can now tell Sri to start a 30-minute run as well and Cirie will respond accordingly so in that case you'll also be limited to apple's proprietary workout application we'll report back on accuracy for these workouts though as my experience with watch OS one was really not positives specifically when it calculated distance ran for example other iOS 9 enhancements like Apple wallet and public transit will also be supported here but again these are things that need to be tested once they're available and so far that's really the morale of beta 1 for watch os/2 we're not sure if Apple will provide consumers with a public beta but beta 1 has proven to be very buggy in response times and then the fact that it's still waiting for developers to take advantage of it will report back with born as soon as Apple populates more features in future betas to come we've got a lot more coverage of iOS 9 watch os/2 and much much more so make sure you follow us on social media subscribe to our YouTube channel as well you can follow me on Twitter I'm underscored iveta please give this video a thumbs up if you liked what you saw I am Hein that'll be better thank you very much for watching we'll see you on the next video
