The Apple Watch App

Orrique has a small companion app for Apple Watch. Free It is built for the moment you put on a scent and want to note it without reaching for your phone. From your wrist you can see today’s pick, log a wear with one tap, pick a different scent from your collection, and run a live tracking session with check-ins. There is also a watch face complication that shows today’s pick and opens the app when you tap it.

In short

Use the watch for fast capture: one tap to log the wear you are putting on right now, and let your iPhone do the saving and syncing. The watch app and complication are free, no Pro needed.

When to use this

Reach for the watch app when your phone is not in your hand but you still want to capture what you are wearing. Common moments:

• You just sprayed on today’s pick and want to log it before you forget.
• You want to wear something other than the suggested pick and log that instead.
• You want to follow a scent through the day with a live tracking session, tapping a quick check-in when it shifts from top notes to heart to base, or when you get a compliment.
• You want today’s pick glanceable on your watch face.

The watch app is meant for quick capture, not browsing. For full details, editing, and history, use Orrique on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac.

Before you start

You need an Apple Watch paired to your iPhone with the Orrique watch app installed. The watch app installs alongside Orrique by default. If you do not see it, open the Watch app on your iPhone, scroll to the available apps, and install Orrique from there.

How to use it

Log the pick

One tap on the Today screen records today’s pick. See today’s pick and log a wear

Log a different scent

Choose from a trimmed collection list, favorites first. Log a different scent

Track live

Follow a scent through the day with check-ins. Track a wear as a live session

Complication

Put today’s pick on your watch face. Add the watch face complication

Open the watch app

Tap the Orrique icon on your Apple Watch Home Screen. The app opens to the Today screen, which is its home base. Use the Digital Crown to scroll.

See today’s pick and log a wear

The Today screen shows your suggested scent of the day with its name, brand, and a bottle image or symbol in the scent’s color.

1. To log it, tap “Log wear”.
2. A brief green checkmark and a light haptic confirm it was logged.

When you log from the watch, Orrique records the wear using your usual settings for that scent: the sprays, zone, and occasion you most often use for it. If that scent has no history yet, it falls back to your default sprays and default occasion from Settings on your phone. You cannot change sprays or zone on the watch itself.

Log a different scent

If you want to wear something other than the pick:

1. On the Today screen, tap “A different scent”.
2. A list titled “Log a scent” appears with your collection. Favorites are listed first, then everything else by name.
3. Tap any scent to log it. The list closes and you see the same checkmark confirmation.

Track a wear as a live session

Tracking follows a scent through the day so you can note how it changes.

1. On the Today screen, tap “Track this wear” to start a session for the pick.
2. A “Tracking” banner appears at the top of the Today screen with the scent name and a running timer. Tap it to open the Tracking screen.
3. On the Tracking screen, tap a check-in button as the scent changes or as you react to it. Each tap adds a check-in, gives a quick haptic, and keeps you on the screen so you can log several through the day.
4. Tap “Add a note”, dictate or scribble a short note, then tap “Add” to save it.
5. When you are done, tap “End session”. You will be asked to confirm, then the session finishes and the wear is saved.

The six check-in buttons fall into two groups: where the scent is in its life, and how you are reacting to it.

Check-in	What it marks
Top notes	The opening, the first minutes after you apply
Heart notes	The middle, once the opening settles
Base notes	The dry-down, what lingers late in the day
Compliment	Someone noticed and said something
Too strong	It is reading louder than you want
Headache	It is giving you a headache

The Log wear button hides while you track

While you are tracking today’s pick, the “Log wear” button is hidden, and “Track this wear” disappears once any session is running. This is on purpose: ending the session records the wear, so logging it separately would count it twice. If the Log button looks missing, you are most likely already tracking. You can still log a different scent at any time.

Skipping the note

The “Add” button stays disabled until you have entered text. To skip the note entirely, just swipe down or step back out of the sheet. Notes use dictation or Scribble on the watch, which is slower than typing, so keep them short.

If you started tracking from your iPhone, the same session shows up on the watch, and ending it on either device ends it on both.

Add the watch face complication

The complication puts today’s pick on your watch face.

1. Touch and hold your watch face, then tap “Edit”.
2. Swipe to the complications screen and tap an empty complication slot.
3. Choose Orrique, then “Today’s Pick”.

The complication is offered in the circular, corner, inline, and rectangular styles. Tap it any time to open the Orrique watch app on the Today screen.

What to expect

• After you tap “Log wear” or pick a scent from the list, the watch shows a checkmark and the scent name, then sends the wear to your iPhone, which saves it to your diary. The watch confirms right away rather than waiting on the phone, so logging feels instant.
• Starting a session shows the Tracking banner immediately. If your phone was already tracking a different scent, starting one from the watch replaces it. If your phone is already tracking the same scent you picked, it keeps the existing session running so you do not lose the elapsed time or check-ins.
• Check-ins you tap during a session are added to that session. They are saved into your diary entry when the session ends, the same way the Lock Screen Live Activity works on your phone.
• The complication shows the day’s pick with its symbol in the scent color. When the pick changes (for example overnight), your phone refreshes the complication.
• Tapping the complication only opens the app to Today. It never logs a wear on its own. You always confirm a wear with the Log button.

Good to know

How the watch reaches your other devices

The watch app talks to your iPhone directly, not to iCloud on its own. Wears you log on the watch are sent to your phone, and your phone is what saves them and syncs them through iCloud (if you use iCloud sync). So your watch logs reach your other devices through your phone.

• The watch keeps a local copy of the last pick and collection it received. If your phone is not reachable, the watch and the complication still show the most recent pick and collection they were given, so the screen is not blank. New scents you add on the phone appear on the watch after your phone has a chance to send an update.
• The collection list on the watch is a trimmed version for quick logging. It shows up to 60 of your wearable scents, favorites first then by name. The watch app is not meant for browsing your diary or full fragrance details; use your iPhone, iPad, or Mac for that.
• Logging on the watch is fire-and-forget and uses your usual settings for the scent, so there is no way to change sprays, zone, or occasion from the wrist. Adjust those defaults in Settings on your phone, or edit the entry later on a larger device.
• The complication, the watch app, and live tracking on the watch are watchOS only. Your iPhone and iPad use widgets and Lock Screen Live Activities for similar quick actions instead of watch complications.
• VoiceOver is supported. Each action carries a spoken label (for example “Log a wear of [scent]”), so you can log and track from your wrist by voice.

If something looks wrong

Almost every watch hiccup comes down to the same thing: the watch could not reach your iPhone. The fix is the same in each case. Bring the watch near your iPhone, make sure the phone is on and unlocked, and open Orrique on the phone so it can send a fresh update.

• The watch shows “No pick yet”, or the complication shows “Open Orrique”: open Orrique on your iPhone so it can sync today’s pick to the watch.
• A wear you logged on the watch has not appeared in your diary on the phone: open Orrique on the phone with the watch nearby so the queued log can deliver.
• The collection list or the pick looks out of date: the watch is showing its last received copy. Open Orrique on the phone to push a fresh update.
• The complication is not refreshing: opening Orrique on the phone refreshes the complication along with the pick.

If a symptom persists after the phone and watch have been together with Orrique open, see Troubleshooting.
