Designing a faster, hands-free food ordering experience for smartwatches.

Problem Statement

Users want to reorder meals fast, especially for routine lunches or dinners, but do not want to open the full mobile app each time. Existing food delivery experiences aren’t optimized for wearables.

How might we design a smartwatch-first Swiggy experience focused on speed, glanceability, and predictive ordering?
