During Apple’s event last September, despite the iPhone's dramatic redesign, the standout announcement for me were the changes to the Apple Watch. Bringing a 4G antenna to the Watch was the first step in letting this tiny computer one day stand alone, and not simply be a satellite to the phone.

Once again this year the Apple Watch was most improved in the line-up, with more noticeable changes to hardware, a greater focus on health, and a promise of a more powerful ecosystem of apps with watchOS 5. Jeff Williams, Apple’s chief finance officer summed up the pillars of the new watch as “staying connected, living an active life and looking after your health”.

The Watch simply looks better, with a larger display, easier to read fonts, an overall thinner design and new live widgets that give the user so much more information in a single glance. A watch is too small to interact with most of the time, so you want it to always have the information you need, waiting for you.

The microphone and speaker were both improved to enable better calling from your wrists, and watchOS 5’s new “raise to Siri” feature, which allows you to skip saying “Hey Siri”, means I’m using the digital assistant more than ever.
