Many people like to change their watch faces, and now it's easier than ever. You can just swipe from edge to edge to switch watch faces. While you swipe through, you might see some new ones.

watchOS 3 also improves performance, now the app launch times are 7x faster than watchOS 2.

A major part of Apple Watch is fitness. Now in the activity app, you can have shared activity rings, so you can compete against your friends.
But there's more, a new app called - Breathe.

Breathe lets you breathe in and out for a minute. While doing this, you can either look at your watch or look away. If you choose to look at your watch, a flower will keep blooming and becoming small again which is the rate at which you should breathe. Else, the watch provides haptic feedback which guides you as well.

watchOS 3 is available to everyone in the fall.
