These changes aren't that big of a deal if you ask me. The Apple Watch OS has to change in order to evolve into Apple's vision of what a "smart watch" capabilities really can become. They will most primarily be focusing on making it lighter, with more battery life and probably thinner at some point so the changes they are making are most likely moving them towards this goal. As an Apple products user and shareholder, I am very much interested in Apple's realization of seeing the full potential of this product.

Does this method require physical access to the device to install the Pegasus software? It sounds like that is the case, which makes the threat of most people’s data being compromised much lower. 

I believe this is a piece of malware that executes on a timer of some sort without any interaction on the users part. It releases a payload then snoops using a "man in the middle" attack of which it mirrors the compromised login information and uses a remote server to be authenticated as the user. So it appears there they have to use email to deploy this thing. Probably better to use webmail and not download email on your actual device when traveling over seas as well as deleting anything looking suspicious from your inbox right away.
