watchOS 7, introduced last week and available for developers, is a significant update that introduces useful new Apple Watch features like sleep tracking and watch face sharing.

Apple still isn't allowing custom watch faces, but it did add more flexibility in ‌watchOS 7‌.

There are several Apple-created complications to add to the ‌Apple Watch‌ in ‌watchOS 7‌ for accessing Shortcuts, the Camera Remote app, Moon phases, Sleep Tracking, and the World Clock.

There's also a new feature that allows for watch face sharing, so you can create useful watch faces and share them with friends and family over apps like Mail and Messages, or with a broader audience on the web.

Apple also plans to highlight useful watch faces in the App Store.

Sleep Tracking lets the ‌Apple Watch‌ be worn at night to track how much sleep you're getting, with sleep habits over time visible in the Health app on the iPhone.

The ‌Apple Watch‌'s sleep tracking doesn't provide detailed data on metrics like deep sleep or light sleep, but it does come alongside Sleep Mode, Wind Down, and alarm features to maximize how much sleep you're getting.

Sleep Mode turns the ‌Apple Watch‌'s display off and activates Do Not Disturb while you're asleep, and it can be set to come on automatically based on the sleep schedule programmed into the watch.

After a few months of beta testing to work out bugs and streamline new features, ‌watchOS 7‌ will see a public release this fall alongside ‌iOS 14‌.
