Checking The Weather
Defined the weather app

A weather app is a program you can use on any of your electronic devices to check the weather forecast, including temperature, precipitation, and wind speed. It aids in planning daily or weekly activities by providing valuable insights into upcoming weather conditions.

Design Purpose
Weather App
Design Inspiration

The existing design of the weather app on Apple Watch OS stands out as exceptionally efficient and user-friendly. Building on this success, I aim to enhance the weather app further, tailoring it to offer quick and effortless access in different situations.

Clock Dial Interface

When the app opens, the interface automatically selects the regular watch face, which displays the current temperature, and the user can view the hourly forecast. This design was heavily influenced by the weather app in watchOS, which drew inspiration from the old phone dial.

Dial and Carousel Interfaces
The user has two options for viewing the weather forecast: either the clock dial or the regular carousel weather forecast. I designed the second option because I believed the dial could sometimes be confusing. However, the dial appears to be the best method for viewing all the weather forecasts at once without cluttering the interface, whereas the second option is easier to use but not as space-efficient as the first.

The user can either use the dial or tap the screen to view the next weather forecast
Other Feature For
Weather App
I feel that stopping at only the two basic layouts the weather app offers does not fully meet my design desired. That's why I've introduced a couple more optional features for the weather app.
User Scenario
On An
Adventure

One of the thing across apple watch that I feel it has not be the best accesible was the apple watch inteface use too much the touch screen feature wheare they forgot about the dial that they have create. To utalize, I re-design apple interface with a better way to use the dial

Hourly Forecast Timeline
The graph displays the temperature forecast for each hour, providing a visual timeline of the day's weather. This feature allows you to effortlessly track how the weather will evolve throughout the day, making it convenient to plan ahead at a glance
User Scenario
Touch Screen
Inaccessible

One aspect of the Apple Watch that I believe hasn't been optimally accessible is its heavy reliance on the touchscreen interface, sometimes neglecting the potential of the dial feature. To address this, I've redesigned the Apple Watch interface to better utilize the dial functionality.

Automatic Weather Updates
Based on The Location
The app automatically updates the weather widget based on your current location, ensuring that you always have relevant and up-to-date information at your fingertips. Whether you're caught in harsh weather or on the move, our app ensures that you can stay informed and prepared without any hassle."
Gesture
Magic. At your
fingertips.

With Watch OS 10,  the watch can detect your movements and adjust the display accordingly, which give me an idea for design the weather app with additional touch, when the user in a challenging weather conditions or when your hands are occupied, the watch can detect your movements and adjust the display accordingly, allowing for hands-free operation.
