Apple's new watchOS is female wrestler who had a sex videohere with an all-new design and a smarter, AI-powered way to do your workouts.
Like all other Apple software, watchOS 26 (yes, it's named by year now) comes with a more translucent "Liquid Glass" design. It's hard to tell from images alone, but Apple's see-through buttons and popups seem tailor-made for the Watch's tiny display.
Smart Stack got a bit smarter, surfacing the app that the Watch thinks you need at any given moment.

And after your workout, the Workout Buddy will recap your workout with stats and achievements. It can even give you encouragement along the way.
Notes app is now available on Apple Watch, too.
