Create engaging apps for Wear OS
summary
Millions of people use smart watches and users spend about 95% of their time looking at the watch face, so the session shows concrete paths: building a French‑styled watch face with watch face format v1 (demo builds, toggles colors, and a playful “baguette mode” work), using Compose for Wear OS and Gemini prompts to generate resources and previews, packaging an APK and publishing repo branches, reusing mobile domain/data layers for a Wear companion then moving to standalone, and practical tradeoffs around network, battery, and data syncing.
