See how your partner feels, share your own mood and send a pulse without reaching for your iPhone.
Phorb for Apple Watch comes with the iPhone app, version 1.5.0 or later, and runs on watchOS 10.6 or later.
Phorb opens on your orbit: eight emotion planets plus Custom, with your two photos circling the feelings you each shared last. Scroll down for your partner's latest emotion and need, how long ago they shared them, and your days together.
Tap a planet to open its family, then pick the word that fits. The Digital Crown moves between words, and on watches that support double tap, it picks the highlighted one. Add a second feeling if your mood is mixed, then tap Share.
Right after you share a feeling, a button to share a need appears for a few seconds, with needs suggested for that feeling at the top. You can also open Needs from the main screen at any time. Pick up to two and tap Share.
Hold the glowing center of the orbit, then let go: your partner gets a pulse as long as you held, up to six seconds. Your watch taps your wrist like a heartbeat while you hold. Your partner feels it in Phorb on iPhone, or can get a notification if the app is closed.
Add Partner Emotion to see how your partner feels every time you check the time, and Days Together to count your days as a couple. Both come in four shapes: the three below, plus inline, a line of text on the watch face.
Your partner's name, emotion and need, with how long ago they shared them.
Their emotion as a small planet, or your day count under a heart.
The emotion or the day count curves along the edge of the face.
Install Phorb on your iPhone, sign in and pair with your partner. Until then, the watch app asks you to finish setup on your iPhone.

Yes. Phorb for Apple Watch comes with the iPhone app from version 1.5.0 and needs watchOS 10.6 or later. It shows your partner's emotion and need, lets you share your own and send a pulse, and adds two complications to your watch face.
No. What you share from your watch reaches your partner in Phorb on their iPhone, the same as anything you share from your phone. If they wear an Apple Watch, they can use the watch app too.
Not on its own. The watch sends everything through Phorb on your iPhone, so keep your iPhone nearby. Without it, the watch still shows the last update it received, and it tells you when it can't send.
Two: Partner Emotion and Days Together. Each comes in four shapes: rectangular, circular, corner and inline, a single line of text on the watch face. The rectangular Partner Emotion also shows your partner's current need.
Yes. The watch app comes with Phorb at no extra cost. Premium works the same as on iPhone, and one subscription covers both partners.
