Watch Wearable Design

Wearable Design Principles

1. Glanceable. Information must be understood in 2 seconds.
2. Minimal interaction. Tap, swipe, crown/dial. No complex gestures.
3. Brief. Content is measured in words, not paragraphs.
4. Timely. Show information relevant to right now.

Screen Patterns

• Complication: 1-3 data points on watch face.
• Short look: Notification preview (app icon + title + brief text).
• Long look: Full notification with action buttons.
• App view: Scrollable list or paged content.
