Apple Watch Ultra support
Vegas Pool Watch is a surprisingly capable pocket billiards simulator that lives right on your wrist. For an Apple Watch game, the level of detail is impressive—it features full 3D viewing with tilt and zoom, which is essential given the small screen size. The physics feel realistic, and the addition of 'English' (spin) allows for much more technical play than you'd expect from a watch app.
The 'Lite' version is a great way to test the water, but the full version is where it really shines, offering longer matches and a much-needed 'undo' feature for those accidental slips. It’s the perfect 'waiting in line' game. The controls are intuitive, using the Digital Crown or touch to aim and shoot. If you're looking for a way to turn your Apple Watch into a gaming device, this is one of the more polished and playable options available.
Full 3D viewing (tilt/zoom)
Realistic 'English' spin
Aim assist for small screens
Save and resume game support
Win/Loss tracking tally sheet
Use the tilt feature to look closer at the pocket alignment before applying spin to the cue ball for a perfect bank shot.
Aim by dragging on the watch face and pull back to set your power; release to take your shot.
The game is designed to run natively on the Apple Watch, allowing you to play even when your phone isn't active.
Really great graphics, easy controls, and great physics engine. A little hard to see the difference between stripes and solids, but I have a screen protector installed. If there was anything to ask for, it would be an easier way to tell the difference of which Ball, and maybe a better ‘English’ control. Otherwise a really excellent app. As I stated in the reviews for your golf game, with the golf and pool game, a movie player, and a book reader - the phone is left home and not missed!

From bars worldwide to the basement of garages of the lucky few, there's nothing quite like owning your own pool table.
