Apple Watch
Apple Watch is a line of smartwatches produced by Apple Inc., running the watchOS operating system and designed for use in conjunction with an iPhone. Key features include health monitoring (heart rate, blood oxygen, ECG, and more), fitness tracking, message notifications, and mobile payments. The product features a rectangular display, supports interchangeable bands, and combines wearable fashion with smart device functionality as a core component of the Apple ecosystem.

The cost of this scheme is that the incoming-call screen the user sees will look like an ordinary phone call.
The wake-up scheme the developer designed is: after tapping Connect, the other person's watch receives a special notification to wake the app, and the session runs in a call-like manner, thereby staying alive with the screen off.
The first version's interaction flow is: open the app, select a contact, tap Connect, the other person's watch vibrates and shows a confirmation request, and after acceptance a connection is established, hold to talk and release to listen; if the other person does not answer, Not available is displayed.
The developer plans to build a walkie-talkie app centered on the Apple Watch, positioned between Apple's Walkie-Talkie and Zello, usable on the iPhone but primarily on the watch.
Apple Watch apps cannot stay in the background for long periods maintaining a network connection; the system suspends the vast majority of processes within seconds to save power.
The HomeView is equipped with a 7-inch square display.
Apple Watch recording quality is usually lower than iPhone, and earlier versions had strict limits on recording duration and background operation for third-party apps.
Apple Watch has had a built-in microphone since Series 4, supporting recording through watchOS's AVAudioRecorder API.
HomeView's competitiveness is likely not in hardware specs but in system integration; if it can deeply integrate with the Apple ecosystem (such as seamless collaboration with iPhone, Apple Watch, and HomeKit devices), then being "late" is not necessarily a disadvantage.
Ambi's core product is an AI application that can continuously listen in the background and automatically capture environmental information, initially covering the three platforms of iPhone, Mac and Apple Watch.
