The company has developed a new algorithm for WatchOS that allows you to use your Apple Watch with gestures. Apple says the accelerometer and gyroscope in the watch work together with the heart rate sensors to detect these different movements.

The watch will also have a new motion indicator that can help you navigate different screens just by moving your wrist. This is useful for anyone with limited limb function or who can't move their hand due to an injury.
