WWDC 2018 is six months away but it’s not too early to start dreaming of new watchOS software.
Concept designer Matt Birchler has created a detailed look at some incredible features he thinks Apple should add to the Apple Watch. Some of the ideas like always-on watch faces seem like no-brainers for future updates, but Birchler also has some ideas on how to pack more useful information on the watch face.

In his concept, Birchler proposes that Apple always have the pixels for the time displaying because that’s the watch’s primary purpose: telling time. The display will then show other complications and information when the wearer raises their wrist.
With the watchOS 5 concept, wearers would get better activity monitoring, including sleep tracking. Watch faces would be redesigned to display more info at a glance.
The concept also imagines one way Apple could spur development could be through the implementation of third-party watch faces. This would give customers something to spend money on and give developers an easy incentive to come up with cool ideas.
By adding third-party support, Apple could make the Siri watch face a lot more useful. Third-party apps could then do useful things like show a card if it’s about to rain.
