watchOS 6 Concept Features New Siri Watch Face, Sleep Tracking, Grid Layout for Dock, More

Check out this watchOS 6 concept from BirchTree that images several new features including an improved Siri watch face, sleep tracking and well being rings, a grid layout for the Dock, and more.

watchOS 6 is likely to be a smaller update, as the odd numbered watchOS versions has tended to be bigger, while the even numbered ones have been more iterative. With that in mind, most of my suggestions are enhancements to things that already exist and not major game-changers.





Highlights:
● Siri Watch Face: "Instead of using the blue/purple cards that many people don’t love the look of, instead this should use the new modular infograph complication style."
● Sleep Tracking and Well Being Rings: "I would not be surprised to see Apple create new “Well Being” rings that includes sleep information as well as meditation."
● Grid Layout for the Dock: "I was able to get 4 apps on screen at a time and still easily make out the contents of the app and tap into it with ease."
● New Watch Faces: "I hope to see some new watch faces that are more about looking nice than getting as much data on screen as possible."
● iPhone Continuity and Companion Apps: "I’d love to see the concept of keeping your iPhone and Apple Watch in sync be able to grow out a bit."
● Better Data Transfers for 3rd Party Apps: "One of the major pain points of watchOS is getting data from your phone to the watch"
