The watch has a curious symbiosis with the iPhone. I found some glitches with the app, and I am still trying to figure out if they are due to the app or WatchOS - most likely the former, but tempting to blame the latter. I set up the watch, installed my app, made the video which passed Apple muster, and tested the app on my real watch. Having read about all the controversies regarding the ECG monitoring aspect of the watch, I was curious to see how it worked. And if I was somewhere without my phone, it would probably be under circumstances where I wouldn’t want to be taking phone calls.īut other than that, this is the watch that has a built-in ECG, rhythm monitoring, O2 saturation monitoring, an always on (kind of) watch face, and other bells and whistles that I haven’t discovered yet. I couldn’t envision being out and about with just the watch on without carrying my phone. The only thing I didn’t opt for was separate cellular service for the watch, figuring I always have my phone with me. Having decided to take the plunge, I went all out, getting a top of the line 44 mm Apple Watch Series 6, with a cheap but serviceable band.

So I took an Apple gift card I had been saving, added some cash from my bank account, and purchased a real Apple Watch. When I submitted the app to the Apple Store for testing, the Apple Overlords immediately detected my stinginess and requested that I submit a video showing the app running on a “real Apple Watch.” I quickly realized that they were right (but how did they know I didn’t have a real Apple Watch?) and that if I was going to launch this app out into the wild, I had better make sure it worked on the target hardware. I did this the cheapest way possible, namely via testing using the Apple Watch simulator that comes with Xcode, the Apple programming environment.

Recently I started working on porting an old Android widget called MorbidMeter to the Apple Watch.
