On September 9th, Tim Cook took stage at the Flint center to unveil Apple’s newest device: the Apple Watch.
While some are skeptical about the success of this device, designers and developers all over the world are enthused about its potential.
We had some of our designers from the Thinkapps community reimagine how popular apps might take form on your wrist.

Facebook Messenger:
Having speech bubbles displayed on a small size screen turned out not to be a really great idea, so in order to conserve space we decided to display only text. While doing that we decided to use a simple identifier of a Facebook Messenger app, the status icon attached to the user avatar.

Spotify:
We have approached this concept from a perspective of one action being the primary, and an optional secondary action that is always available also as a gesture (ex. “< Your Music” back link, and its swipe right gesture).
