The document discusses guidelines for developing Apple Watch apps. It notes that Watch apps should complement iOS apps, with interactions measured in seconds rather than minutes. Glances are meant to show meaningful moments from apps at a glance. Notifications on the Watch come in four types: subtle, abbreviated, detailed, and those requiring user action. The document cautions developers to only include features that make sense for the Watch.

“A Watch app complements your iOS app; it
does not replace it. If you measure interactions
with your iOS app in minutes, you can expect
interactions with your Watch app to be
measured in seconds.”
