Apple Seeds First Beta of watchOS 10.1 to Developers

Apple today seeded the first beta of an upcoming watchOS 10.1 update to developers for testing purposes, with the beta coming a day after the launch of watchOS 10.

Apple Watch Faces watchOS 10 Feature Blue
To install the ‌watchOS 10‌ update, developers will need to open the Apple Watch app, go to the Software Update section under "General" in Settings, and toggle on the ‌watchOS 10‌ Developer Beta. An Apple ID linked to a developer account is required.

Once beta updates have been activated, ‌watchOS 10‌ can be downloaded under the same Software Update section. To install software, an Apple Watch needs to have 50 percent battery life and it must be placed on an Apple Watch charger.

There's no word yet on what might be included in watchOS 10.1, but we'll update this article if and when we find out what's new.

Was this announced? Would love to see something like this!
Unfortunately no. But I figure if enough of us talk about it and suggest it to Apple through their channels, maybe they will add it at some point.

I think anyone who uses the workout apps would find this useful to extremely useful.

Seems like a no-brainer, but what do I know ?
