With thought towards the current limitations of smartwatchs discussed in class, I have done my best to avoid the "Fat Finger" problem and other related usability issues. Rather than force unsuitable interaction onto a smartwatch form factor, I have put most of the application navigation in the smartphone app. This way, users avoid the frustration of having to stare and interact with a limited smartwatch applet. Instead, they are free to meddle with settings and preferences within the smartphone app. I have done my best to ensure the smartphone app is as simple, quick, and elegant as possible. This frees up the watch to be used for what it does best - hands free tasks that do not require specific parameters. Thus, the smartwatch app serves as the user's navigation as they drift through the city.
