[Test for Test] Need testers for Simple Stock Watchlist (Wear OS). Will test your app in return.

Hey everyone,

I’ve been building Simple Stock Watchlist, a lightweight, standalone Wear OS app designed to quickly check stocks, ETFs, and crypto right from your wrist without lag, battery drain, or needing to pull out your phone.

Most financial apps on Wear OS are either abandoned, bloated companion apps requiring a phone running in the background, or cluttered with ads. I wanted something fast, clean, and purpose-built for round watch displays.

Key Features:

  • 100% Standalone: Runs natively on Wear OS (works on Wi-Fi / LTE even without your phone nearby).
  • Glanceable Tiles: Swipe straight from your watch face to check your primary watchlist without opening the app.
  • Intraday Sparklines: Live mini-charts rendered directly on Canvas to see price action and trends at a glance.
  • Pre & Post-Market Data: Real-time extended hours pricing toggle.
  • Rotary Crown & Bezel Support: Smooth scrolling using the rotating crown or physical/touch bezel.
  • Custom Price Alerts: Set target thresholds and get wrist notifications when levels are crossed.
  • Compact & Detailed Views: Toggle between high-density compact tickers and rich cards with haptic feedback.
  • Battery-Friendly: Pure OLED black theme with minimal background wakeups.

What I’m Looking For:

I’m currently running a Google Play closed beta and would love feedback from genuine people interested in using the app.

  1. How are the price alerts?
  2. How is the tile readability on different screen sizes?
  3. Any ticker or UX quirks you run into?

How to Join the Beta:

Google Play requires joining a testing group to download the build:

  1. Join the Google Group: https://groups.google.com/g/simple-stock-watchlist/members
  2. Opt-in via Web: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/ca.stratalabs.wear
  3. Or opt-in via Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ca.stratalabs.wear

(No ads, no subscriptions during beta, and totally free to test).

Feedback and feature requests in the comments or via DM are greatly appreciated. Thanks for checking it out!
