watchOS 27

Apple is rolling out watchOS 27.0.1 for Apple Watch today. The company says the update fixes an issue where some Apple Watch units would unexpectedly restart. The update is available exclusively for Apple Watch Series 12 and Apple Watch Ultra 4 users.

If you’ve been missing the double-click of the Digital Crown that used to bring up the App Switcher on the Apple Watch before watchOS 27, it looks like the feature is making a comeback as of watchOS 27.2 beta 2. Here are the details.

Apple has just kicked off a new wave of beta updates, and it’s not the one we were expecting. Beta 1 is here for watchOS 27.2, tvOS 27.2, and more.

Apple Watch includes an all-new Siri app in watchOS 27. Unlike the iPhone and iPad versions, it’s a bit less intuitive to use in one way.

watchOS 27 removes a useful multitasking shortcut from Apple Watch. While we don’t know if it will make a return, we at least now know why the gesture was removed.

Apple has released its next major update for Apple Watch users: watchOS 27 is rolling out now. Here’s what’s new.

watchOS 27 launches next week, the major new Apple Watch update. Here are Apple’s official release notes detailing what’s new in watchOS 27.

watchOS 27 includes one new watch face: Siri Modular. The new face is available on both Apple Watch Series and Ultra models. However, the version on Ultra has a few more customization options. Check it out.

Today following its “Surprise and shine” September event, Apple has shipped the RC (release candidate) versions of iPadOS 27, watchOS 27, and more.

watchOS 27 is coming this month, and now we have an official release date. Apple says we can expect the Apple Watch software update on Monday, September 14. The Apple Watch software update brings Siri AI, new ways to launch apps, and more changes to the device.

Today during its Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4 announcements, Apple announced a new watch face coming to watchOS 27: Siri Modular.

Apple Watch Ultra 4 and Series 12 will be unveiled tomorrow, and a last-minute leak may reveal new features coming in watchOS 27 for the latest models and more.

When watchOS 27 is released later this month, Apple Watch users may notice that some things work a bit differently. The upcoming software update removes three features that users may miss after updating.

I mentioned today in my Siri AI Apple Watch piece that there’s one change I still hope Apple makes to watchOS 27 before it ships this month. It’s one of those common muscle-memory features that have existed for years, and I’ve been missing it all summer.

Siri AI on Apple Watch arrived two cycles late for watchOS 27 beta this summer. I had high hopes for how new Siri could transform Apple Watch into an AI wearable.

What actually happened in July and August is that Siri has been remarkably unusable in watchOS 27 beta. Like “hold off on updating” bad.

This week, I half-expected Apple to remove “Siri AI” from watchOS 27 beta 8 and revert to the previous version of Siri. Instead, I think Siri AI on Apple Watch actually got good?

watchOS 27 is coming soon as the next major Apple Watch software update. I’ve been using watchOS 27 in beta this summer, and there are three new features I’ve been especially loving.

Less is more when it comes to how I use the Apple Watch. The best experience, for me, requires few notifications and intentional focus on what I want out of the device. This approach applies to Apple Watch faces too. While there are no new watch faces in watchOS 27 yet, I’ve been loving a scaled-back version of a very information-dense option.

watchOS 27 is the next major software update for Apple Watch, and among its variety of new features, it will add two new apps to your Watch.

A new leak reveals that one of Apple Watch’s most popular watch faces—Modular—is set to gain a variety of new color customization options in watchOS 27. Here are the details.

Apple Watch added hypertension notifications last year, an important and potentially life-saving new feature. And per a recent report, it sounds like watchOS 27 might make them even better.

watchOS 27 launches this fall as the next major Apple Watch update, and it includes a handy new feature that can improve your Apple Watch battery life: ‘proactive battery extension notifications.’
