The gadget features a powerful, brand-new S9 Apple silicon chip that lets it function in new ways.
The new chip has 60 percent more transistors and is 30 percent faster than the S8 chip.
It also has a four-core neural engine for neural tasks that are completed two times faster than before.
On top of all this, the product now lets wearers use a double-tap gesture for completing tasks.
It works by users tapping their thumb and finger together twice, without touching the Watch.
This allows them to perform tasks like answering a phone call, playing music, or scrolling through widgets.
Apple Chief Operating Officer Jeff Williams explained that the Watch's S9 chip and machine learning are behind the new technology.
The new S9 chip also lets the Watch seamlessly integrate with Siri, making responses to queries faster and more secure.

The device will come in the same great colors we've seen for the Series 8, including Starlight, Product Red, and Midnight.
Meanwhile, the Watch's cases will be available in gold, graphite, and silver.
It's expected to start at $399.
ULTRA 2
The Ultra 2 Apple Watch model has also seen a major upgrade.
First, it will have the brightest display an Apple Watch has ever had, thanks to its 3000 nits.
Apple claims that users will also score 72 hours of battery life per charge when the device is in low-power mode.
Moreover, the case is made from 95 percent recycled titanium, making this one of the most eco-friendly Apple products to date.
