Don’t know about Apple Watch development, but the scope of what you can do with Garmin's SDK is limited, apps run in a VM, ie no native code with respective performance issues and, as important, their developer support is a complete and utter garbage.
It's a lucky day when someone from Garmin graces Forums with their presence and bestows few sentences they think could pass for an answer.
In other words, yeah, the SDK is free, you can side-load and it’s not hard to write for, but you just can't write much.
- scarface_74 2y agoYou run native code on the Watch itself and most of the limitations are around not doing anything that will kill the small battery.
- abcd_f 2y agoNope, not native code. > Monkey C compiles into byte code that is interpreted by a virtual machine, similar to Java. https://developer.garmin.com/connect-iq/reference-guides/monkey-c-reference https://developer.garmin.com/connect-iq/reference-guides/mon..., 2nd paragraph.
