Watch UI Redesign - Before & After

The Problem

  • Watch UI was cluttered with too many options
  • Connection between watch and phone was unreliable
  • Error messages were unclear
  • Design didn't follow Wear OS best practices

The Solution

1. Simplified Dashboard

Removed: 6-item scrollable menu with Activity, Steps, Workout, Sleep, Nutrition Added: Single large "Heart Rate" button - clean and focused

2. Cleaner Heart Rate Screen

Before:

  • Small icons and text
  • Multiple status indicators
  • Cluttered button layout
  • IBI info taking space

After:

  • Huge 56pt BPM display
  • Single status dot
  • Large START/STOP button
  • SEND button only when needed

3. Better Connection

Improvements:

  • Detailed logging for debugging
  • Tries all connected devices
  • Clear error messages
  • Automatic retry logic

Quick Test

# 1. Deploy phone app
cd scripts
test-phone.bat

# 2. Deploy watch app (new terminal)
test-watch.bat

# 3. Test on watch
- Tap "Heart Rate"
- Tap "START"
- Wait for reading
- Tap "SEND"
- Check phone receives data
