Hands-on with the first watchOS 4 beta

Earlier this week, in its WWDC 2017 keynote, Apple introduced watchOS 4, the next major update for its Apple Watch products. It's not quite as significant an update as iOS 11 will be; however, there are some interesting new features.

Finally, you'll be able to get rid of the 'honeycomb' app view, in favor of a list view. This can be done by Force Touching the app drawer, although you can't yet uninstall apps in this new view.

There are also some new watch faces, which you can see from the image above. The Toy Story faces aren't included just yet, but Siri and Kaleidoscope are. The Siri watch face is meant to learn from you and know what you need to see before you take action, which if well-implemented, could be an excellent feature.
