I created an app that enables you to check UK train times from your watch. I wrote it after being out late one evening after work and was heading back to the station, but I was reluctant to get my phone out as I was walking briskly and didn't want to drop the phone, also it was pretty late and with all the phone snatching robberies going on in London I felt reluctant to get my phone out so late...wouldn't it be useful if I could just check the time of the next train home from my watch?
So I wrote this app...you install it onto your phone and the wearable app is installed automatically. You have to set up the from station and to station on the phone in advance (it's not really practical to enter them on the watch),then when the watch app is opened you simply click the desired route and it tells you when the next few trains are, or whether they are cancelled or late. Please note this app only works for UK stations, and the wear app requires the phone to be nearby e. g. in your bag or pocket as the actual timetable query is done on the phone.
I would appreciate any feedback on how usable the wear app is from anyone using a watch with a round face, as my Sony Smartwatch 3 has a square face and I can't seem to get the Android wear emulator working to test it against round faces.
