Overview
Garmin Watch Kit closes the distance between “I want a custom watch face” and code running on a wrist. Design visually — shape, accent, date, steps, heart rate, battery — against a live-ticking preview, and the kit regenerates a matching manifest.xml and Monkey C source as you click. A five-step checklist walks through Garmin's free Connect IQ SDK so the paste-and-press-F5 moment actually happens. Honest framing: this generates real starter code; compiling and running happens in Garmin's tooling on your machine.
