Apple has also significantly decreased the time it takes to launch a watchOS app.

The Dock button now allow users to access the Dock. Apple is also redesigning the Find My Friends and Reminders apps for watchOS 3.
A brand new feature coming to the new watchOS is called SOS: hold down the dock button and as long as you’re connected to Wi-Fi or within range of your phone, the Apple Watch will call 911. Once the call has concluded, the watch will message your emergency contacts and pull up your medical ID and send your contacts your location.
