watchOS 8 adds a new timer screen
This was one of my wishes for watchOS. A timer mode where you could run it without it being obscured by the time when the always on display went dark. Now you can just glance and see how long is left on your current timer.

watchOS at WWDC
I’ve been using the Apple Watch a lot more recently in a bid to improve my fitness and have a few thoughts on what I’d like to see in the next update. Third party watch faces aren’t coming I’m going to finally stop wanting third party watch faces, I don’t see them coming at all.…

watchOS 5 beta initial impressions
I’ve been having several issues on watchOS 4, the most annoying being weather not displaying and losing connectivity to my iPhone. It’s gone to Apple for servicing once already so I thought what the heck I’ll install the dev beta. My initial impressions are good. It hasn’t lost sync and the weather app is working…

Don’t expect third party watch faces anytime soon
