Product claims
Wellness tracking does not establish clinical accuracy; any medical use needs its own validation and review.
Questions before we start.
Does the wearable need a companion phone app?
That depends on account setup, network availability and the watch platform. We define standalone and companion behavior separately.
Can all phone features move to the watch?
No. The useful watch scope is usually a small set of brief interactions, with deeper tasks left on the phone.
Bring your starting point.
Bring the watch model, sensor requirements and the single action users most need on their wrist.
