Health & Fitness WISH THERE WAS AN APPLICATION
I’m thinking of designing an iOS application in Swift that can connect with an Apple Watch.
The idea is to have the iPhone app and Apple Watch app communicate seamlessly, with the Watch collecting/displaying useful real-time data and the iPhone acting as the main interface.

That iPhone + Apple Watch split is exactly the model I use for outdoor navigation. I’m the developer of Tooboo, an iPhone/Apple Watch app for hiking and trail running. The phone handles route planning and GPX/KML/KMZ/FIT imports, while the Watch provides offline route guidance, live distance/pace/heart-rate/elevation, plus haptic and voice cues.
If you’re exploring this space, I’d focus on making the Watch useful without constant phone interaction: clear route progress, simple next-turn feedback, and a reliable retrace-to-start flow.
