Updates to Apple Watch, new watch faces and Siri expansion

Apple's keynote at the WWDC is currently ongoing but already the company has introduces the first major update to one of its many platforms. After a small update to Apple TV, Tim Cook passed the torch to Kevin Lynch to tell about Apple Watch.
Apple Watches get an update which is called watchOS 4. This update brings a variety of new watch faces, a major expansion to Siri capabilities, and updates to apps like Apple Music.

Siri now shows an information stream quite like Google Now on your Apple Watch. The new watch faces include kaleidoscope and Toy Story characters with fun animations.

The activity tracking has updated as well with more functionality and the Workout app has a brand new UI.

You get all this and more right now, that is if you update to Developer build. Or you could wait for the official release some time during fall.
