Apple might still be months away from launching a new Apple Watch, but the company is expected to debut new software features for existing watch owners next week.

As it typically does every June, Apple is kicking off its Worldwide Developer Conference with a keynote, during which it will likely unveil watchOS 6, the next major operating system for its wrist-worn gadget, among other announcements. The biggest new feature expected to come in watchOS 6 is a standalone App Store for the Apple Watch that would make it possible for owners to install new apps directly from the watch itself rather than having to reach for their iPhone.

Apple usually releases its new software updates in the fall to coincide with new product launches, but it'll likely provide a preview of what's to come on June 3.

Here's a look at the new features we're expecting to see on the Apple Watch in the coming months.
