Apple just announced watchOS 27 at WWDC and I installed the very first developer beta to see what's new.

In this video we go over the new Apple Watch animations, improved Double Tap gestures, Find My redesign, Workout Buddy improvements, Action Button changes, notification updates, and everything else currently available in watchOS 27 Beta 1.

Some expected features are still missing, but there are a few surprisingly useful changes already available.
