Provide smooth interaction with companion apps
Most wearable device apps partner with companion apps running on a desktop or other mobile devices. It's crucial they look consistent and provide similar functionality and user experience. Consistency in terms of colors, typography, navigation, and vocabulary inspires trust, minimizes the efforts users need to get familiar with an app, and makes products look professional. A wearable app might provide limited content or functionality but users should still get the impression that they are using the same product.
