Why Design Web Content For The Apple Watch ⌚

2018

Apple introduced the ability to display web content with the Series 4 Apple ⌚ Watch in 2018.

Series 3 Apple ⌚ Watches are also able to take advantage of this feature as long as the watchOS operating system is upgraded!

 No Other Smartwatch Is Able To Display Web Content! 

📈 The Apple ⌚ Watch is very close to having a 50% global market share and the competition is not even close!

This is the reason why I am one of the very few web designers that has developed web content for the Apple ⌚ Watch!

Not every web page will be able to be displayed on the small screen of an Apple ⌚ Watch because the web content requires configuration changes to the:

  1. Unique content layout of the web page.
  2. Mobile Navigation Menu being used. The standard "Hamburger Menu" used by most mobile websites will NOT BE READABLE on such a small screen!
  3. Font size being used. Most mobile web pages use a MEDIUM size font. I recommend using LARGER size fonts so the content is readable.

Apple ⌚ Watch Owners Do Not Surf The Web On Their Devices

✅ There is no Safari Web Browser App in the watchOS operating system.

✅ watchOS integrates Apple's WebKit web layout engine.

✅ It uses Safari's Reader Mode to display web pages.

✅ Web content is supported ONLY in the Apple ⌚ Watch Messages and Mail App when someone shares a web page link and the user chooses to open the link on their Apple Watch.

Apple ⌚ Watch Digital Business Card Features

👍 My Digital Business Cards have the perfect web page layout for the small screen of an Apple Watch ⌚.

The vast majority of traditional paper business cards use a horizontal layout however, my Digital Business Card uses a vertical layout to exploit the layout of ANY SIZE Smartphone screen.
