A new update is coming for your Apple Watch! These new features will come to your Apple Watch with watchOS 10.3 (and this is when).
watchOS 10.3 comes to the Apple Watch
Apple is working on a new update for the Apple Watch. It seems that watchOS 10.3 will not be a major update, because Apple has now released all the new features of watchOS 10 on the Apple Watch. With the largest watchOS update in years, Apple already brought NameDrop, widgets and new (mental) health functions to the Apple Watch in 2023.

We will probably no longer see any major new features on the Apple Watch before the release of watchOS 11. As expected, no new features appeared in previous test versions of watchOS 10.3. That does not mean that nothing will change with the update, because watchOS 10.3 brings cool new watch faces to the Apple Watch. This is them!

Cool watch faces in watchOS 10.3
Apple adds new watch faces to your Apple Watch with watchOS 10.3. These new Unity Bloom wallpapers honor black history and culture in celebration of Black History Month. You have the choice between a clock face with a large flower, or a background with several colorful flowers. We see a similar wallpaper in iOS 17.3.
According to Apple, the new watch faces in watchOS 10.3 respond to certain movements you make. When you hold your wrist up with your Apple Watch, the colors of the flowers change. So you have an interactive watch face in the new watchOS update. Especially for the Black History Month Apple is also releasing a new strap for the Apple Watch, with similar flowers on it.

This is when you can update
We don’t have to wait much longer for the update, because you can probably install watchOS 10.3 on your Apple Watch this week. The new software update will probably appear at the same time as iOS 17.3 and iPadOS 17.3. According to rumors, we will be able to update all Apple devices again next Tuesday, so watchOS 10.3 will also be released.
