Fish in a Watch – Casual Game Review
Fish in a Watch is a Casual/Action game from Hesselbom Tech AB, first launched in 28th February 2019.
It’s rated 9+ and currently has 25+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Fish in a Watch Stand Out
Eat or be eaten as you play as a fish stuck inside an Apple Watch (or an iPhone)!
The Apple Watch game works best for Apple Watch Series 4 and up. Works OK on Series 3.
Steer your fish fin by turning the Apple Watch crown back and forth. Or swipe on your phone.
Avoid being eaten by bigger fish and get bigger by eating smaller fish. And there might just be a jellyfish or two lurking in the deep.
This Casual game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Community Insight:
Cool how it works in the Ultra Watch.
We work at a job where we dont have our phone but will have our Apple Watch. We use this game as a great way to pass the time. Its easy and fun. It needs some minor bug fixes. Its 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. Id also like for the game to be a little bit more polished, because as your fish grows larger, yellow jellyfish dont appear meaning your fish grows larger than the size of the screen. Its nearly impossible to score more than 1500 points. Other than some polishing needs this game is a fun time killer.
Around 2500 to 3000 points the game frequently glitches and all the fish disappear except ours. IPhone 14 Pro, 16.3.1.
Fun game but on our watch the fish gets too big for the screen and we can never find another zoom jellyfish to keep playing. So we end up touching something out of view and dying. Also PLEASE add a pause function.
SO FUN we LOVE IT (when we had our watch lol we lost it in a lake).
Careful if you get a Frenzy jellyfish and a Zoom jellyfish in quick succession because the Zoom will interfere with the Frenzy and youll die from a larger fish while still in frenzy mode. That doesnt happen often and otherwise its 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 its basically luck staying alive since you cant see much else but your fish. Definitely should zoom out more after 1000 points.
Dont love it. Was looking for an easy game for our child to play on the watch. Its very antiquated and you use the dial to move the fish. Dont recommend it.
Bought this game and it wont show up on our watch wish we can get a refund.
Its so fun and addicting!! No problems what so ever, didnt buy it at first because we didnt know if it would be as good as it was but its really addicting and nice graphics, plus the fishes are so cute.
This game is very fun and addicting to play. It is genuinely fun – even for a watch game! We really wish they would make a version of this that would be playable on iOS.
We dont know how can we get refund. This game dont show on Apple Watch series 4. Not recommended.
