During WWDC 2019 Apple announced that they are fragmenting their iOS into device specific variations. There will now be the normal iOS, iPadOS, tvOS and finally watchOS.
watchOS 6 launches to the public in the autumn of 2019 (probably September) and introduces an app store on the watch itself.
If you can’t wait that long to try it out, you can get the beta now, though with it being a beta it can and will be buggy.
Which watches support watchOS 6
All of them apart from the first generation, and to get the beta you will need a developer account, which costs £79/$99 a year.
