65/100

Fish In A Watch is an impressive technical feat that turns your Apple Watch into a tiny, living ecosystem. The concept of 'eat or be eaten' is a gaming classic, but adapting it to the digital crown of a watch is a stroke of genius. It feels tactile and responsive, making it one of the few games on the platform that actually feels 'made' for a wearable.

That said, the gameplay is extremely basic. On an iPhone, it feels underwhelming compared to other arcade titles, but as a 'secret' game to play on your wrist during a boring meeting, it's perfect. The visuals are simple but clear enough for the small screen. It’s a niche title, but for Apple Watch owners looking for a fun way to use their crown, it’s a delightful little distraction.
