I’ve done a bunch of videos now saying why I think the Apple Watch is the most important device Apple has ever made, the most important consumer electronics device ever made, and basically the gadget of the last damn decade. Because it saves lives by design.

A lot of the credit for that goes to watchOS — the software that drives the watch hardware. It’s what’s given us those life saving features like heart rate notifications, fall detection, and the ECG app.

And, while the current watchOS 6 bits are, of course, the best ones yet, there’s still a lot more I’d live to see with watchOS 7.
