At WatchBuddy, we breathe and air the Apple ecosystem more so, the Apple Watches by watchbuddy. That is why when Apple announces something big as they did in the WWDC 2025, we are all listening. The event of this year was not only about the novelties, but it was a new direction where the now unified vision of the future was all about intelligent software, privacy-first AI, and the sleekest redesign in years.

WatchBuddy, as your source of all information, features, and tips on the Apple Watches by Watchbuddy, has simplified all the things you need to consider.

 

Apple Golden New Look: Liquid Glass

In WWDC 2025, Apple presented gorgeous new type of UI on all major platforms-it is called Liquid Glass. This is the gloss and depth burly design which will be available on iOS 26, watchOS 26, macOS Tahoe, and iPadOS 26 and so on.

At WatchBuddy we love the new design, particularly on the Apple Watches by watchbuddy. Transparent windows, curved edges, and perspective illusions make the interface sleeker and more advanced with a futuristic air that feels very comfortable on the wrist.

Apple also retired its random version names but instead named it with the year, which is more convenient to the user-and us at Apple Watches by WatchBuddy, when keeping up with annual updates.

Apple Intelligence, Sneaky, Friendly and Personal

Apple did not launch Apple intelligence but it did the next best thing: it launched Apple Intelligence – privacy-first version of AI that is already in your everyday experience.

What we liked about WatchBuddy is the following:

Live Translation: Talk and type in one language and your iPhone translates in real-time–on-device.

Visual Look-Up: Just point your camera at a plant, dish or sign and receive answers in real-time.

Genmoji & Image Playground: AI-driven fun, customisable emoji and image creation tools.

Foundation Models API: A way to make apps smarter: on-device AI is now available to developers to make their apps and systems smarter in a privacy-preserving manner (including the team behind the WatchBuddy app (  eyes  awards

All these capabilities will make Apple products more intelligent without compromising the privacy our community holds dear. And to Apple Watch users, that translates into even more assistive context without ever having to touch your phone.

Siri’s Upgrade Will Have to Wait

While we were hoping for a major Siri refresh at WWDC 2025, Apple is taking its time. The AI-enhanced version of Siri is now scheduled for spring 2026, with iOS 26.4.

At WatchBuddy, we appreciate Apple’s deliberate pace. A smarter Siri is coming—and when it does, we’ll be here to guide you through how it enhances your Apple Watch experience.

Major OS Updates, WatchBuddy Style

Apple rolled out updates across the board, and here’s what our team at Apple Watches by WatchBuddy thinks matters most:

iPadOS 26: Now More Mac-Like

Multitasking finally arrives in full, with native windowing. It’s a step closer to laptop-level productivity on your tablet.

macOS Tahoe: Cleaner, Smarter

macOS gets a redesign with Liquid Glass, an improved Spotlight, and deeper iPhone integration. For Apple Watch users like our community, continuity just got even better.

tvOS 26: Small Tweaks, Big Gains

Persistent AirPlay, smarter screensavers, and subtle design shifts make for a smoother home experience—especially when paired with Apple Watch for media control.

visionOS 26: Spatial Widgets & Gaming

Floating widgets and support for PSVR2 controllers mean the future of immersive tech is right around the corner.

The Real Star: watchOS 26

Of course, the biggest spotlight for us at WatchBuddy is on watchOS 26—and it’s packed with smart updates we can’t wait to try:

• AI-Powered Workout Buddy: Think of it as a personal trainer on your wrist. Your Apple Watch now suggests workouts, adapts in real-time, and learns from your activity patterns.

• Wrist Gestures 2.0: New flick and pinch gestures mean easier control during workouts, on the go, or when your hands are full.

• For fitness lovers: casual wearers, and health-minded users alike, these features make the Apple Watch more responsive, more helpful, and more intelligent. And of course, Apple Watches by WatchBuddy will be here with guides, how-tos, and real-world tests.
