See all of the new animated emoji in watchOS 2 GM [Gallery]

Not to be outdone by iOS 9.1’s set of new emoji, watchOS 2 GM, released this past Wednesday following Apple’s press event, includes a little surprise of it’s own. Alongside a bunch of new watch face colors, dig into the animated emoji offered on the Apple Watch, and you’ll find 26 new options, ranging from faces sporting sunglasses, to sick faces, and even a few sets of clapping and fist bumping hands. Check out the gallery below to see them all in action:

Which is your favorite?

Thanks, Kyle!

    The free floating hands are just creepy, sorry.

      Do you have a low creepiness threshold?

        For free floating animated hands not connected to limbs….yes, call me old fashioned but I like intact body parts

    obviously it’s not free floating hands but the guy has a black sweater on and is in front of a black background :)

    if you press down on them, you can change the color… faces can also be red. And you’re not showing the hearts.. not sure if they are new or not. I didn’t know there was more than one possibility.

    The shaka/hang loose has been there since the watch came out.

    I just don’t understand what that meh face with the heart eyes is supposed to be used for.. “I love it, but meh…” ??

    The illness ones are a little cute I admit, but these are still strange to me overall. Never sent one.
