The new Apple Watch operating system will feature...

...an AI sensor to determine when you're washing your hands, which will trigger a countdown app to confirm you've done it for 20 seconds...

1. I'd really like that as it wouldn't get interrupted by pets wanting attention all the time,

or the phone ringing or a text or anything else

2. And how is that supposed to work for the people who take their watch off...

...so they can wash their wrists too?

I also fully expect to be entertained in the coming months by reports of what other hand motions it misreads as hand washing.

3. I wonder about that, too

I was trimming shrubs the other day and kept having to reassure the watch that I hadn’t fallen.

5. Simple, built in water removal system

Bring up the Control Center on your ??Apple Watch??: Swipe up on a watch face, or when in an app, press the bottom edge of the screen then drag up ...

Tap the Water Lock icon (it looks like a water droplet).

When you're back in a dry environment, turn the Digital Crown to unlock the screen and clear water from the speaker.

6. What happens if you want it to open the pod bay doors? n/t

7. Simple: NFC chip inside...
