Summary
watchOS 27 adds Apple Intelligence-era Siri to Apple Watch for the first time, including a dedicated Siri app, personal context, in-app actions and broader world knowledge, with English support due later this year.
A new 6-app dynamic grid now appears with a Digital Crown press, using Siri suggestions based on recency and popularity, while Smart Stack gains more widget recommendations and a new one-handed tap gesture to open or act on widgets.
Workout Buddy no longer needs a nearby iPhone, adds Spanish support and more pace, distance and duration insights, while Cycle Tracking adds perimenopause and menopause notifications and treadmill distance tracking becomes more precise.
Find My is consolidated into one Apple Watch app and adds Precision Finding for a paired iPhone, AirTag 2 and AirPods Pro 3; Apple also says watchOS 27 can suggest disabling unused features to save battery.
The software is already in developer and public beta, ships this fall, and requires Apple Watch Series 9 or later, Apple Watch Ultra 2 or later, or Apple Watch SE 3.
