Apple execs were questioned about the possibility of third-party watch faces on the Apple Watch running watchOS 10 in an interview.

), were questioned about the possibility of third-party watch faces on the Apple Watch. Still, Lynch said it’s important for Apple to make everything work reliably and consistently. At the same time, Caldbeck added that users “don’t have to worry about the watch face still working when there’s a major watchOS update.”

To enforce this thesis that third-party watch faces could break the Apple Watch experience, the executives talk about the new watchOS 10 interactions. For example, when pressing the Side Button, the Watch now opens the Control Center, and swiping up from below the screen reveals smart stacks with several new widgets.‘s story: “The repurposing of the button with watchOS 10 is based on a lot of this feedback,” explains Caldbeck.

Lynch explains that Glances, an original idea from the first watchOS, can finally shine as the screen of the Apple Watch gets bigger. “Because the screen was so small, we wanted a way to add features that you only need occasionally without taking up valuable screen real estate,” explains Lynch. “So we came up with the idea that you can press harder to access additional functions. That solved our problem.

With that, Apple makes sure everything works reliably once the company decides it needs to revamp the buttons and the interactiveness. Another point they make is the fact that Apple already gives users a lot of flexibility with complications from third-party apps.
