According to 9to5Mac, highlights include: A new clock face feature called Monogram has been added as a complication (a background detail you can choose to enable or disable).

This is an interesting customization, giving you the chance to make your watch look more individually designed. Users will also be able to enable a subtle red dot that appears atop the Apple Watch's clock face whenever a new notification is received on your iPhone. You can choose a stock to track via a watch face complication, seeing either its current price, point change, percentage change, or market cap. The same stock will appear in Glances, as well.
