Fish in a Watch is a survival arcade game optimized for the Apple Watch. Players control a fish using the Digital Crown (or touch on iPhone), navigating the depths to consume smaller prey while avoiding larger predators and dangerous jellyfish. Designed for quick sessions, it brings classic 'Feeding Frenzy' style gameplay to your wrist with intuitive controls and minimalist graphics.

65/100

Fish In A Watch is an impressive technical feat that turns your Apple Watch into a tiny, living ecosystem. The concept of 'eat or be eaten' is a gaming classic, but adapting it to the digital crown of a watch is a stroke of genius. It feels tactile and responsive, making it one of the few games on the platform that actually feels 'made' for a wearable.

That said, the gameplay is extremely basic. On an iPhone, it feels underwhelming compared to other arcade titles, but as a 'secret' game to play on your wrist during a boring meeting, it's perfect. The visuals are simple but clear enough for the small screen. It’s a niche title, but for Apple Watch owners looking for a fun way to use their crown, it’s a delightful little distraction.

Great game - needs minor bug fixes
Thu Oct 16 2025 livelafluv2

I work at a job where I don’t have my phone but will have my Apple Watch. I use this game as a great way to pass the time. It’s easy and fun. It needs some minor bug fixes. It’s not optimized for the latest Apple watches, and as another review stated there is a bug with the frenzy jellyfish and the zoom jellyfish that needs to be addressed. I’d also like for the game to be a little bit more polished, because as your fish grows larger, yellow jellyfish don’t appear meaning your fish grows larger than the size of the screen. It’s nearly impossible to score more than 1500 points. Other than some polishing needs this game is a fun time killer.

Simple & fun with minor bugs & playability issues

Careful if you get a Frenzy jellyfish and a Zoom jellyfish in quick succession because the Zoom will interfere with the Frenzy and you’ll die from a larger fish while still in frenzy mode. That doesn’t happen often and otherwise it’s a decent little time killer of a game. It does get harder after about 500 points as the fish is taking up half the watch screen. Then by about 1500 points it’s basically luck staying alive since you can’t see much else but your fish. Definitely should zoom out more after 1000 points.

Fun but…

Around 2500 to 3000 points the game frequently glitches and all the fish disappear except mine. iPhone 14 Pro, 16.3.1

Amazing game!

It’s so fun and addicting!! No problems what so ever, didn’t buy it at first because I didn’t know if it would be as good as it was but it’s really addicting and nice graphics, plus the fishes are so cute

Great Game!! Not even just for a watch game

This game is very fun and addicting to play. It is genuinely fun - even for a watch game! I really wish they would make a version of this that would be playable on iOS.

Please add more zoom jellies

Fun game but on my watch the fish gets too big for the screen and I can never find another zoom jellyfish to keep playing. so I end up touching something out of view and dying. Also PLEASE add a pause function.

Amazing

Haven’t played but love fish

Very hard to use

Don’t love it. Was looking for an easy game for my child to play on the watch. It’s very antiquated and you use the dial to move the fish. Don’t recommend it.
