With iOS 27, Apple is giving iPhone users a slider to customize how clear or frosted Liquid Glass appears. While the same slider comes to the Mac and iPad, Apple Watch just has one Liquid Glass setting for everyone. However, watchOS 27 does change the look of Liquid Glass on Apple Watch in subtle ways.

Here are some examples of Liquid Glass on watchOS 26 (Apple Watch Series 11) and watchOS 27 beta 1 (Apple Watch Ultra 3).

As you can see, the look isn’t a major difference, but it follows the general Liquid Glass iteration happening on iPhone — just without the slider option. What do you think? Would you still prefer more frosting or translucency, or is the default a good fit for you?
