Turn your Apple Watch into the ultimate discreet focus tool.  Spin, breathe, and concentrate - right at your wrist, whenever you need to channel that restless energy into productivity. Rotate the Digital Crown clockwise or anti-clockwise on your Apple Watch and feel the tactile sensation (haptic feedback) on your wrist. With Crown Fidget on your wrist, you’ll find: ++ New - Orbit Pong Ready to put your focus to the test? Orbit Pong takes everything Crown Fidget is built on, the Digital Crown, the haptics, the quiet concentration, and turns it into a game. Spin your paddle around the arena, keep the ball in play, and see how long you can stay truly present. No levels. No lives. No distractions. Just you, a ball, and however many seconds of focus you can hold onto. The longer you last, the harder it gets, your paddle shrinks, the ball quickens, and the margin for a wandering mind gets smaller. Simple to pick up. Surprisingly hard to put down. How long can you stay in the zone? + Guide Mode - Tap the guide button on the bottom left to activate a moving guide within the circle. Follow it by rotating the Digital Crown and watch the visual effects respond as you stay in close proximity. A mindfulness feature designed to help you focus. Tap the guide button again to return to free scrolling. + Stealth Mode - Tap the moon button on the bottom right to reduce the circle's brightness for more discreet fidgeting, perfect for winding down before sleep. Tap again to toggle between dim and bright. + Into the Stars - Journey through space using the Digital Crown. Spin clockwise to glide forwards through the stars, building speed with each turn. Reverse by spinning anti-clockwise. Watch for the occasional rare comets. A mindful moment of calm, designed for those times when you need to centre yourself. + Weather the Storm - Adjust the intensity of rain using the Digital Crown. Rotate clockwise to build from a soft drizzle to a powerful storm, complete with thunder. Spin anti-clockwise to calm the downpour back to gentle rain. A pulsating “Breathe” label guides your breathing as the rain falls. Find your perfect rhythm for mindfulness and calm. Features - Discreet focus tool you can use anywhere, anytime - Satisfying Digital Crown haptic feedback - Orbit Pong, the arcade game built for focus - Minimal, elegant design made for the wrist - Optimised for all Apple Watch sizes from 40mm to Apple Watch Ultra
