watchOS Platform

watchOS-specific development for Apple Watch experiences.

Agent Workflow (MANDATORY)

Before ANY implementation, use TeamCreate to spawn 3 agents:

1. fuse-ai-pilot:explore-codebase - Analyze existing watchOS patterns
2. fuse-ai-pilot:research-expert - Verify latest watchOS 26 docs via Context7/Exa
3. mcp__apple-docs__search_apple_docs - Check watchOS patterns

After implementation, run fuse-ai-pilot:sniper for validation.

Design Considerations

Screen Size

• Small display, large touch targets
• Glanceable information
• Minimal text, clear icons

Interactions

• Digital Crown for scrolling/input
• Force Touch (older watches)
• Gestures: swipe, tap

Battery

• Minimize background work
• Use complications for updates
• Efficient data transfer

Best Practices

1. Glanceable - Quick information access
2. Large targets - Easy tapping
3. Minimal input - Reduce typing
4. Complications - Update watch face data
5. Background refresh - Efficient updates
6. Test on device - Simulator differs from hardware
