Smartwatch

Smartwatches are made for quick glances. The example shows the time, a progress ring and a notification icon, all readable in a second or two.

People check a watch for short bits of information, such as the time, a message preview or a workout stat, and rarely for long reading.

Keep each screen to one idea, use large text and make controls easy to hit. Voice, haptics and the paired phone can handle what does not fit on the wrist.
