An active pet, not an idle pet.
Your movement is the whole game! Steps, active minutes, or calories unlock rewards. No ads, no tracking, and no pressure. Feed, brush, and play with your pets, but no punishment for missing a day. They'll be happy to see you when you return.
A panda hatches from its egg and waves. It lives on your wrist, and its bar fills as you move. It rides its bike through the bamboo, plays catch with Sparky the robot, and heads out on a group ride with the robot, the alien and the puppy. The puppy sleeps over in the bunk bed, and then everyone comes to the panda's birthday party. The captions read: What are Watchables!? They live on your wrist. Exercise and movement unlocks friends and activities. An active pet, not an idle pet. No in-app purchases, no pressure. Safe and fun for all ages. Adopt one today!
This is a game that wants you to touch grass.
Wear your watch
while being active, and the neighborhood grows!
Walking, running, playing outside. It all counts. Prefer active minutes or calories? Switch any time; nothing is lost.
Fill the bar and a level is banked. Celebrate now, spend it whenever you like.
Hatch a mystery egg, earn a toy, unlock a ride, or add a bunk bed. You choose who grows next.
Watchables doesn't demand your attention.
Pets visit each other's homes! Playtime is more fun with friends.
A pet with a ride can travel! Pick a friend who has a toy and off it goes. You're both at that friend's house, playing with the host’s toy, and every snack is shared.
Two pets, two rides, one adventure: a pet and the friend it is visiting can ride together.
The last prize for each pet is a bunk bed. With a bunk bed, a pet can host a sleepover!
Every pet has a birthday, and on the day the neighbors come over for cake. Up to three guests ride over!
Available on every major smartwatch that supports third-party apps!
Eight friends, eight homes, each with its own food, its own toy and its own way of getting around. You pick one to start; the other seven wait in the neighborhood as eggs, and an egg is a little mystery.
Keeps a bamboo grove with a bookshelf, tosses a big striped beach ball, and is very proud of its bicycle.
Lives aboard a little spaceship. Three eyes, cosmic snacks, and a blue diamond it levitates rather than touches. Then it takes the UFO out through the stars.
Runs the backyard: a doghouse, a picket fence and the classic red ball, plus a little red wagon for the street outside.
A garage robot who tinkers with its gears and keeps its charging dock topped up. Needs no vehicle: for a ride, it simply transforms.
Lives out in the milky way, on a deck of galaxy dust under a nebula. Tosses a tiny ringed planet, eats moon cookies, and doesn't ride anything. It streaks off as a comet instead.
Home is an ice floe: an igloo, icebergs on the horizon and the aurora overhead. Tosses a block of ice, and takes the sled out across the snow.
Keeps a burrow on the riverbank among the cattail reeds, with the lights of town small on the horizon. Throws a boomerang (the one toy whose whole story is the throw), and when the skateboard comes out, puts on a fedora and skates the city at dusk.
Down on the reef, sun shafts and all. Collects a spiral shell, putters over the seafloor in a little yellow submarine, and wears a dive helmet whenever it visits somewhere dry.
My son and I designed and built this app together, completely from scratch. He contributed a lot of the design decisions on characters and features. We love being active in the outdoors, and we both love cute animals. Watchables rewards both of us with an extra little spark of joy for staying physically active in-between our adventures, and reminds us of each other.
A lot of effort has gone into building Watchables and making it fun. Originally we wanted to charge a small amount of money for it, but in the long run we've decided that this is just something we'd like to share with the world. Since it was built for my kid and his friends, there are no ads, no purchases, no pressure, no tricks. Nothing will ever go into the app that I wouldn't trust for my son.
Although I am a software developer, I'm wary of technology for kids, and don't use social media. My kids don't use tablets or phones, but this seemed like a creative way to introduce technology: building something together that rewards exploration rather than screentime, something that we could share with each other - and with you.
If you want to support us, leave us a positive review, send us a message at hello@watchables.fit, and check out our other projects like SnapGeo.io and Brickstand.ink. I am also the developer of Rescue Ally, an offline-first wilderness medicine app for teams and individuals.
Thanks for stopping by!
It's the same joy of a tiny pet that grows because of you, with one twist: your real movement is the whole game. Watchables is a virtual pet that lives on your smartwatch, and your actual steps, active minutes, or calories fill the bar that hatches critters and earns their toys and rides.
Eight: a panda, an alien, a puppy, a robot, a star, a penguin, a platypus and an octopus. Each has its own home, its own food, its own toy and its own ride, and each one starts as an egg in the neighborhood until a level hatches it.
All three: Apple Watch (from the App Store), Wear OS watches (from Google Play) and Garmin watches (from the Connect IQ Store). There's a free Garmin watch face, too, so your pet can live right on the clock.
No. The whole game runs on the watch. No account, no ads, no tracking, and nothing to sync.
