A remote, honestly
MP95 on Apple Watch controls the iPhone app. Music plays on the phone through your headphones; the watch shows the track, the position and a transport. It does not store or play music on the watch itself. We say this plainly because some watch apps imply otherwise.
Four faces
The remote takes the style of the machine you are using on the phone: the click wheel, the cassette, the turntable or the disc. Play, pause, previous, next, and love the track with a tap.
Battery use and compatibility
The watch acts as a remote; the phone does the audio playback. Battery use depends on screen time, communication and device conditions. We have not included a measured battery-life comparison here. Check the current App Store listing for supported watchOS versions.
8D on the watch
The watch adopts the phone's 8D setting, since playback happens on the phone. Headphones required, as always.
Setup
Install MP95 on the iPhone; the watch app installs with it (or from the Watch app). Open MP95 on the phone, start a track, and the watch follows. See MP95 for Apple Watch.
