This project explores the design of a world clock experience for the Apple Watch, focusing on accessibility, glanceability, and ease of interaction. Given the constraints of a small screen, the UX approach prioritized minimal yet impactful interactions—allowing users to quickly check time zones at a glance while maintaining a seamless and intuitive interface. The design integrates a global map for spatial awareness, dynamic temperature updates, and a clear, high-contrast display to enhance readability in various lighting conditions.
As my first wearable UX project, this was a significant learning curve. Adapting to the unique design constraints of a smartwatch, such as limited screen space and touch interaction challenges, pushed me to refine my approach to information hierarchy and micro-interactions. This experience deepened my understanding of designing for wearables, emphasizing the balance between functionality and simplicity.
